"Smart and funny"— Big Brother fans praise Chelsie for her game so far

Big Brother season 26 has inched closer to the finals, with week 10 ending on September 26, in episode 33. The episode saw the season's first and only double eviction, where Leah and Angela were sent home under Makensy's Head of the Household (HoH) reign.

She had nominated Kimo and Angela earlier, but after she won the Power of Veto, she decided to take Kimo off the Block and replace him with Leah. It was Chelsie who persuaded Makensy to do so. Chelsie said Leah was a threat to her because if she (Leah) became the HoH next week, she would go after her. Makensy, Chelsie's trusted ally, believed her and renominated Leah.

Leah got all four votes and had to leave the game. Fans of Big Brother took to X to praise Chelsie's game and strategies that sustained her in the game. They also pointed out the fact that all the contestants Chelsie didn't like/wasn't affiliated with were out of the game.

"Say what you want about Chelsie, but she solidified herself as a big brother legend tonight. her alliance is still in tact and she got both of her targets out in one night," another fan said.

"Y’all complaining but this was the best move for Chelsie’s game. Angela already expressed that she’s targeting Chelsie," said a third one.

"Like Chelsie got both her targets out on the same night, give her her 10s," wrote another one.

Some Big Brother fans thought Chelsie would be among the top three.

"If Chelsie wins, she’s one of the best winners in history. That’s just the facts methinks. She absolutely devoured this season even when her entire alliance got exposed at the beginning," an X user said.

"Okay the Chelsie hate is getting weird now. she’s literally the most deserving of winning….she giving us social, comps, and strategy," another X user said.

"In one of the most unpredictable seasons in history, we have the most predictable endgame. Just give Chelsie the check now," read one comment.

"Chelsie just had back to back HOHs (basically) and got two of her biggest threats out...gotta appreciate the dominant run she on," read another comment.

How did Chelsie influence Makensy to evict Leah from Big Brother season 26?

Big Brother week 10 was intense because it saw two evictions happening instead of the usual one. Makensy, as the Head of the Household, wanted to separate two strong alliances of the house, which included Kimo-Rubina and Leah-Angela.

So, she nominated each from both the groups. She had some affiliation with Leah, so she went after Angela. Kimo was chosen because he had been nominated for a few consecutive weeks before.

When Makensy won the Power of Veto, she initially considered not using it since she had made a calculated decision for both her nominees. But after Chelsie told her she knew Leah would go after her if she stayed, Makensy changed her decision.

In an attempt to save her ally and not lose a vote in the finals, she chose Leah. After she named her the nominee, she made it clear to Leah and told her the reason behind her nomination. She also pitted Chelsie and Leah together so they could talk it out themselves.

When Chelsie told her she didn't feel safe with her, Leah said Kimo and Rubina, too, were thinking of getting her, so she wasn't safe either way. Now it is for the Big Brother fans to see if Leah's claims come true.
