He called the segment, "electric" and intense. He chimed in on the HoH competition and said it was "quick" and "crazy." While speaking about the Veto competition that followed, Tucker said it was "sick" and he would have won the task if he was still in the show.

Big Brother season 26 episode 33: Double eviction, HoH, and PoV competitions

In Big Brother season 26 episode 33 Makensy reached out to Leah to explain why she replaced her with Kimo after the latest Veto meeting. She explained that she heard Leah wanted to target Chelsia and while she didn't like putting Leah on the block, Makensy didn't want to risk it.

She brought Chelsie into the conversation and Leah explained that Kimo and Rubina wanted to target either Chelsie, Cam, or Makensy. Despite Leah's pleas, when the House voted, she received four votes from Kimo, Chelsie, Cam, and Rubina.

Upon her exit, she spoke to Julie Chen Moonves about Makensy's move. The Big Brother season 26 contestant said that while she understood the cast member's point of view, she was hurt.

"I would never have done the some," she said.

This was followed by another Head of Household competition. As per the format of the task, the cast had to answer questions based on this week's "Warning Messages." Chelsie and Angela were the final two contenders to win HoH, and to win the title, they had to answer how many minutes Jankie was in the house. Chelsie said 1,080 minutes while Angela answered 15,000. Chelsie's answer was closer and under the correct response and she won the task.

As the new Head of Household, Chelsie nominated Angela and Kimo to be the second player to leave Big Brother season 26 in episode 33. A veto challenge followed during which Kimo emerged victorious and took himself off the block.

Chelsie replaced him with Rubina and the cast voted once again. With Kimo, Makensy, and Cam voting against Angela, the Big Brother season 26 contestant was eliminated from the CBS show.

Before leaving the show, the cast member told the cast members she loved them. She added that she was proud to be a threat at the age of 55. While in conversation with Julie, she said that the contestants voted correctly because she would have won the show.
