"TOOK LONG ENOUGH"— Big Brother fans react to Leah admitting she has a crush on Quinn ahead of his elimination

Big Brother season 26 aired episode 27 this week on Thursday, September 12, 2024. The segment saw Kimo and Quinn at risk of going home after Veto winner Leah took Angela off the block. Quinn received 4-2 votes, was eliminated from the house, and became the first member of the jury.

Quinn, who had previously expressed liking Leah Peters, felt the dynamics of their relationship change. Although she previously expressed being interested in him as a friend, she admitted to having a crush on Quinn in the latest episode.

Fans of the show reacted to the Dairy Room confessional. One person wrote on X:

"NOT LEAH ADMITTING HER CRUSH ON QUINN LMAOOOO TOOK LONG ENOUGH GIRLIE. also I’m dead at Quinn and kimo acting like they’re asleep in the nomination chairs lmao"

"Idc. I love #QuinnMartin. I think he’s cute af. I kept rooting for Leah to catch feels for him. I was so thrilled when she said she was starting to crush back. Don’t let the haters get you down Quinn. Rock the jury house!" a fan commented.

"leah admitting she has a crush on quinn in the 25th hour may be all the winning he needs though," a tweet read.

Commenting on Leah's realization and Quinn being voted out soon after, fans said:

"leah realizing she has a crush on quinn just for him to get evicted," a person wrote.

"The way Quinn is gonna go sit in the jury house alone for a whole week not knowing that Leah admitted to having a crush on him," a fan commented.

"This might be the best worst week of Quinn's life. Leah starts to crush on him and he meets the man who played the character he was named after," a tweet read.

Big Brother season 26 fans further said:

"Did I hear right -- Leah has a crush on Quinn? She was blushing so I think she does! Didn't see that one coming in a million years. It would be really sweet if she gave him a chance outside the house," a person wrote.

"Don't tell anyone"— Big Brother star Leah Peters confesses to having a crush on Quinn

In Big Brother season 26 episode 27, the cast played a game of Kiss, Marry, Evict. When Chelsie and Kimo said they would both marry Quinn, Leah jokingly accused them of "taking" her answers.

Quinn reacted to Leah's statement in a Dairy Room confessional and said that after "55 days," he was in the "marriage category." He added that he had given up on the idea of being with her but felt that things had started to change between them.

The Big Brother season 26 houseguests teased the pair and urged them to share a kiss, but Leah said it wasn't her "style." She said that she had reserved her kisses.

While alone, Quinn and Leah joked about their dynamics. Quinn told her he knew they couldn't kiss even though he knew she wanted to. The Big Brother season 26 star said they could hold hands instead but the female cast member said she didn't want to "go down that road." Quinn whispered in her ear and asked whether she didn't want to if she thought it was not a good idea "strategically."

She told him it was probably the second option. She hit him with her pillow and told Quinn she was going to bed. In a confessional, she said:

"I think I have a crush on him. Don't tell anyone."

Big Brother season 26 fans reacted to the confessional online and although they thought it was "cute," they didn't like that Quinn was evicted in the same episode.
