Big Brother season 26 aired its latest episode on Wednesday, August 28, 2024. It featured the contestants competing against one another at the Power of Veto (PoV) competition to secure the opportunity to remove themselves from the block and elongate their stay in the house.
Head of Household (HoH) TKor's three nominees Cam, Tucker, and Makensy's main objective was to get their hands on the PoV so they could gain immunity and avoid the impending elimination round. However, Cam earned the power after an eventful game and used it to remove himself from the block.
After much contemplation, T'Kor nominated Angela as Cam's replacement. Big Brother fans were pleased with the screen time allotted to Cam. Viewers were impressed by his gameplay as the otherwise quieter houseguest who often went unnoticed by the cameras won the PoV and evaded eviction.

Big Brother episode 20: What happened at the Power of Veto challenge?
Six players, Cam, Tucker, Angela, Joseph, T'Kor, and Makensy competed against one another for prizes and punishments in the PoV ceremony. The challenge, "AI Apocalypse" required the players to use slingshots to take down "evil robots." It was a round-based game where the lowest scorer would get to pick a top-secret envelope with a prize or punishment inside.
However, that player would also risk losing it to the houseguest eliminated in the next round. Joseph was the first to get eliminated with a score of 0. The envelope he chose had the "Golden Power of Veto." Angela, the second person eliminated chose the envelope containing the punishment "Trapped in the Matrix," a 24-hour solitary confinement. She traded it to Joseph.
Makensy, the third person eliminated from the Big Brother challenge chose the envelope containing a trip for two to Hawaii. She held onto the prize because she knew Cam or Tucker would eventually steal the Veto from her.
In the fourth round, T'Kor was eliminated after scoring a 20. She chose the "Radiation Eradication" envelope, a punishment that required the Big Brother player to clean the yard of radioactive items. She exchanged her punishment with Angela's PoV.
In the final round of the challenge, Cam went head-to-head against Tucker. After hitting a 12-point robot, Cam outperformed Tucker to secure the top spot. Tucker exchanged his "End of Days Dollars" envelope with T'Kor's PoV. The last envelope Cam picked was the "BB AI Assist" punishment, which required the holder to answer questions from Ainsley throughout the day.
He traded his punishment to Tucker, securing the Power of Veto for himself. The Big Brother houseguest ultimately used it to remove himself from the block.
Big Brother season 26 will return to CBS with a new episode on Thursday, August 29, 2024.
