"Super weird": Big Brother season 26 fans chime in on Leah talking to Rubina about Tucker

Big Brother season 26 aired episode 6 on Sunday, July 27, 2024, and it showed viewers the culminated Live Feed footage of the past few days. The footage gave them the highlights of what the new houseguests had been up to since they were last on air.

During the segment, fans saw Leah talking to Rubina about having feelings for Tucker, which fans didn't like as much. Viewers noted that they would like Tucker and Leah to be together. However, they also said that they didn't like the conversation between Leah and Rubina, as the latter also had feelings for the same person.

Fans took to X to discuss how the situation was uncomfortable, with many calling it "super weird."

"Leah talking to Rubina about her feelings for Tucker. SUPER weird to me bc talking to Rubina puts her in a position where she HAS to be like yeah girl go for him!! Also Leah has EVERY guy in there but needs the ONE white guy who clearly likes a WOC over her...okay girl #bb26"

Others agreed with the sentiment and said that Leah's behavior was "silly" and "embarrassing."

"I really felt super icky about her conversations between Chelsea and Rubina esp. knowing Rubina's insecurities. I knew her lolita/pollypocket act was entirely fake," a fan commented.

"It's very embarrassing behavior I must admit. I'm team Leah for fun feeds but this is silly. Her and Tucker haven't even developed much rapport but I get the sense that she's just bulldozing Rubina out of the way. I'm asking the men to get a backbone and step away like Cedric did," a tweet read.

Big Brother season 26 fans added that the houseguest couldn't "fathom Tucker liking Rubina over her."

"The thing is Leah can not fathom Tucker liking Rubina or another POC over her. I feel like she’s the type to think all men like blondes but y’all ain’t ready for that conversation… #bb26," a person wrote.

"I am getting the real ick listening to Leah speak on Rubina. “She’s expressed her insecurities to me, and I don’t want to go take her man” girl, who said that you can? And why are you doing the backhanded thing of talking about her insecurities? #BB26," a fan commented.

"Leah talking about her feelings re: Cam and Tucker, once again talking about how she wanted to get close to Tucker & they were vibing but that changed bc he started acting weird and implying it’s at least partially bc of Rubina…girl she isn’t worried about you! #bb26," a tweet read.

Other Big Brother season 26 fans wondered what Rubina was supposed to do after Leah shared her feelings with her castmate.

"while its possible rubina was downplaying how she feels ive BEEN saying if one of them actually like eachother its tucker so it’s weird as hell that leah tried to create a narrative that rubina is the one who follows him around when it’s almost always the other way around… #bb26," a person wrote.

"Leah talking to Rubina about her feelings for Tucker is so goddamn weird tf is rubina supposed to do?? #BB26," a fan commented.

"Tucker's kinda avoiding me": Leah talks to Rubina about Tucker in Big Brother season 26

In Big Brother season 26 episode 6, Leah was speaking to Rubina about her interest in Tucker. The former told Rubina that she felt the male houseguest was avoiding her since he saw her talk to Cam and that it could be a "conflict of interest."

"I feel like Tucker's kinda avoiding me because I had a really good one-on-one with him and now he sees me like, hanging out with Cam and I'm not sure if it's like a conflict of interest," Leah said.

When Rubina asked the cast member why she thought that, Leah said she believed Cam made it look like they were "a thing." She added that she felt like Tucker wasn't talking to her because he didn't want to step on Cam's toes.

The Big Brother season 26 star added that she thought Tucker's behavior would also be because of Rubina and the latter stated she could see that happening since she spoke to Tucker.

Rubina, who was also interested in the Big Brother season 26 participant, encouraged Leah to clear the air with Tucker, saying that she should talk to him directly.

Fans of the show took to social media to react to the segment and were upset with Leah's behavior. They felt her conversation with Rubina was "weird," considering Leah knew that Rubina was into Tucker.
