The newly evicted Big Brother contestant, Angela Murray, spoke about Makensy’s decision to get her out of the game. Season 26 episode 33, which aired on September 26, 2024, surprised the remaining houseguests with a double eviction, Leah and Angela.
During a conversation with US Weekly on September 27, 2024, Angela revealed details that she and Leah wanted to work alongside Makensy. The Big Brother contestant hinted at potentially forming an alliance with Makensy if she was not put on the block. She also said that the latter's decision "was not good for the game." She continued:
“MJ’s decision to nominate Leah and myself this week was nothing short of gullible and impressionable and honestly not good for her game. She should have saved us and kept us there. Instead, she’ll be probably the next one walking out the door.”
For the unversed, during the previous episode, the Head of the Household and Power of Veto winner Makensy Manbeck decided to replace Kimo with Leah as the eviction nominee. Alongside Leah Peters, Angela was chosen by Makensy and was put on the block. With a 4-0 vote, Leah exited the BB house.
Luckily for Kimo, he won the next PoV competition and used it to save himself when the new HoH Chelsie picked him and Angela. Chelsie decided to put Rubina in place of Kimo but Angela's position remained the same. Soon enough, the results of the 3-0 vote were disclosed and Angela was sent home as well.

In the latest interview, Angela predicted Makensy's elimination next. The evicted Big Brother contestant stated that if she had won the HoH competition instead of Chelsie, she might have chosen either Chelsie, Kimo, or Rubina as her nominees. The 50-year-old stated:
“That’s a no-brainer. I would’ve nominated Chelsie and Kimo or Rubina. Probably Chelsie and Rubina.”
Talking about her multiple clashes with Matt Hardeman and Lisa Weintraub, Angela shared she had "no hard feelings." The Big Brother player believed that "it was a game" and taking measures to protect themselves and targeting a threat was part of the show format. She told US Weekly that there was no "personal" reason behind anyone's moves:
“I don’t regret any of the things that happened and I look forward to mending fences with both [Matt and Lisa] and I wish nothing but happiness and love and I know that great things will happen for them in their lives.”
Angela wished "love and happiness" for both houseguests Matt and Lisa. Moreover, she expressed the desire to reconnect with them by "mending fences." During her exit interview, she admitted that it was the right decision to vote her out as she had the potential to compete till the very end.
In an emotional moment, the Big Brother star was grateful for the experience and was glad she found "friends and family" in the BB house. Angela stated that she had no bad blood and felt a strong connection with all participants, whom she called her "sons and daughters."
