“QUEEN IN F3!!!!!” — Big Brother fans praise Chelsie’s HoH win

Big Brother season 26 reached its finale week, i.e., week 12, with episode 35, which aired on October 3. Week 12 began by eliminating Kimo under Makensy's Head of the Household reign. Fans were eager to find out who would win the last HoH of the season and secure a spot in the finale.

The Live Feeds section on Paramount Plus, which aired on Thursday, revealed Chelsie as the new Head of Household. This means that she is already among the final four of the Big Brother house, alongside Makensy, Rubina, and Cam.

Fans of Big Brother flocked to X to express their excitement about Chelsie winning the Head of Household. Many praised her gameplay, while some even predicted her place in the final two. They couldn't wait to see who among the other three would go up on the Block. One fan reacting to Chelsie's HoH win on X wrote:

"YESSSSSS MY CHELSSSS QUEEN IN F3!!!!!"

Several other fans expressed similar sentiments on X.

"My girl Chelsie won HOH and dominating. Love that for her. 4 HOH comp wins for a African American woman," another fan said.

"Super proud of Chelsie another HoH and winning the most HoHs since Vanessa Russo?????? That’s mother right there. I need her to wins so bad," an X user wrote.

"Regardless of how you perceive Chelsie, she played the hell outta," said one fan.

Some Big Brother fans rooted for Chelsie to win the season, while others pointed out strategies that could go down with her as the new HoH.

"Chelsie not winning this season would be the equivalent of Vanessa not winning 17. I don't want another robbed queen y'all. Stop taking our girls crowns!!!" an X user said.

"I was never happier to see Chels as HOH! Got a feeling she'll also be winning veto. 4 the first time in ages I think that jury will have a very easy decision... easiest roundtable in years #bb26 c'mon no disappointments all we want to see now is you being the final hoh winner," another X user said.

"Chelsie the women that you are. Queen sh*t omggggg," a fan wrote.

"My girl Chelsie won HOH and dominating. Love that for her. 4 HOH comp wins for a African American woman," another person said.

What can be expected to go down on Big Brother 26 hereafter?

Makensy and Chelsie dominated the Head of the Household for a month, alternating wins over the past four weeks. This built a rapport between the two, which cultivated a loyal pact and worked in tandem.

When Makensy won the Head of the Household in week 10 and nominated Angela and Kimo, Chelsie coaxed her to use her Power of Veto and renominate Leah instead. Makensy obliged just because Leah was a threat to Chelsie. With the trust between them deepening, the duo made a pact to choose each other over Cam when the time came.

Some Big Brother fans even called out Makensy for doing as Chelsie asked because if they made the final 2 together, she wouldn't stand a chance to win against Chelsie. With the power now in Chelsie's hands, anyone could get eliminated.

If she puts Cam and Rubina on the block to save her Big Brother bestie Makensy, either one of the nominees could win the Veto comp and set Makensy up for renomination, and she could get evicted.

The game now heavily relies on the Power of Veto win because only that could ensure a player's entry into the finale, everyone else is at risk. Makensy has proven her prowess in winning the PoV time and again, so she has the highest chance of winning. Meanwhile, Rubina has never won a single PoV, which means the chances of her winning it now are also less. It is now for fans to see which of the three saves themselves and who gets evicted right before the finale.
