“PLAYER”- Big Brother season 26 fans applaud Chelsie’s strategy to eliminate Tucker

Week 6 of Big Brother season 26 has ended with the pivotal departure of Tucker from the house. Under T'kor's Head of Household reign, Tucker had volunteered to be up on the block as a pawn. However, in the biggest blindside of the season, he was voted off.

Fans of Big Brother credit this blindside to Chelsie, who flipped the vote on him almost overnight. She did so because she held a grudge against Tucker for removing her biggest affiliate in the game, Brooklyn. She also didn't like how he influenced every HoH decision, even when it wasn't his to make.

People in the house agreed with Chelsie's sentiments and successfully voted Tucker out. The people who didn't vote for him were Rubina, Kimo, and Joseph, who were allies with T'kor and supported Tucker as a pawn. The show's fans have noted this pivotal change Chelsie brought about and are praising it on X (formerly Twitter).

"While losing Tucker tonight was brutal for many… Chelsie still deserves a round of applause for rising like a phoenix from the ashes… the Pentagon was DESTROYED, she lost her closest allies and then she STRUCK and got out THE biggest comp beast she is a PLAYER!" one fan wrote.

"After defending Tucker all day (instigator allegations), Chelsie just ATE Joseph's dumba*s up! 'He played you!'" another person wrote.

"Sad to see Tucker go but not too sad because I love a vicious blindside and I commend Chelsie for flawlessly pulling one off!!!" another fan said.

"Chelsie took down Tucker in less than 24 hours. There's not ENOUGH praise," another netizen said.

Big Brother fans acknowledged the fact that if Chelsie hadn't influenced the houseguests, Tucker would've probably still been in the house.

"I already see y’all rewriting history. Tucker doesn’t leave without Chelsie starting the conversation. The only person who deserves mother, father, parent recognition for the flip is her," one person commented.

"Give this queen, Chelsie her flowers for flipping the vote on Tucker," another person said.

"I love Chelsie’s game so much. She was able to pivot from being at the bottom. I love her love for the game and her being so giddy about the Tucker vote made me laugh. More players like this please and thank you," one fan said.

"Chelsie not only had the social capital and strategic mind to get Tucker evicted she also had the thought process of continuously encouraging and uplifting MJ’s confidence, people underestimate details like that. Just felt like complimenting Chelsie’s gameplay," one X user commented.

What led to Tucker's eviction in week 6 of Big Brother season 26?

The moment T'kor emerged victorious in the Head of Household competition on week 6 of Big Brother, she knew she was in a pickle because out of the limited houseguests that now remained, she was allied with the most. Tucker volunteered to be nominated to make it easier for T'kor.

Seeing this as an opportunity to get back at Tucker, Chelsie started influencing people in the house. She individually asked everyone who they were voting for and then reconfirmed with them the votes they had to kick Tucker, which made them confident about voting for him.

With little to no motive to evict Angela, who was up against Tucker, the Big Brother houseguests went after him. They took him out with 5 votes, 3 of which went to Angela including that of Rubina, Kimo, and Joseph.
