Big Brother Season 26 aired its latest episode on Thursday, August 8, 2024. Previously, Tucker used his Power of Veto (PoV) to take Angela off the block despite being nominated himself. When Makensy was nominated as a replacement, she activated America's Veto power and gained immunity.
Ultimately, America's votes put Quinn in the elimination round alongside Tucker and Kenney. Tucker won the AI Arena competition and took himself off the block. Kenney was eliminated from the house after receiving 10 votes in his name, whereas Quinn only received one vote from Tucker.
The Live Feeds available on Paramount+ revealed that Angela became the new Head of Household (HoH) replacing Cedric. In a conversation with her, Tucker expressed his concerns regarding Rubina.
"I think she's playing the flirtiness with me, which I'm obviously aware of and she's playing that to maybe feed back to Brooklyn Rivera," said Tucker.
The Big Brother cast member shared a romantic relationship with Rubina. He assumed they were on the same side when it came to the game, however, when he heard that his vote was the only vote against his rival, Quinn, he became suspicious of Rubina's intentions.

Kimo was the person who informed Tucker about Quinn's Deepfake HoH power. After Tucker made the discovery, he was determined to get Quinn evicted from the house. However, his plan was foiled when a majority of the houseguests voted against Kenney.
The Big Brother cast member started suspecting his alliances, especially his connection with Rubina. Before joining the show, Rubina confessed she did not want to get involved in a "showmance," whereas Tucker revealed he would do anything to advance in the competition. As the contestants got to know each other, Tucker and Rubina grew closer.
In the latest episode, the Big Brother duo was seen sharing a romantic moment. Tucker was under the impression that Rubina supported his gameplay. However, when the vote results were announced, he started doubting his assumption.
During his conversation with Angela, Tucker revealed he could not trust Rubina with the other women because she would "do whatever the girls say." Angela concurred with his thought.
"I was honestly shocked that I was the only one who voted for him [Quinn]," said Tucker.
Later, when he talked to Rubina about the eviction, the latter revealed the houseguests agreed not to evict the person America nominated as Angela's replacement.
Surprised by the revelation, Tucker requested Rubina to inform him about such developments in the house. However, Rubina thought sharing the information with him was unnecessary because he was aiming to win the AI Arena challenge which would eventually take him off the block.
Rubina seemed upset by the character Tucker played against Quinn. Before the elimination, Quinn gave a speech and addressed Tucker as the "LeBron James" of the challenges. He also mentioned he would nominate Tucker for elimination if they voted for him to stay. Enraged by his speech, Tucker told Rubina that Quinn "shouldn't have said that speech."
Rubina asked the Big Brother cast member to drop his act because Quinn only wanted "his TV moment." The back and forth between the two contestants created tension between them. Later, Tucker asked Rubina for a hug and the two reconciled. Fans of the show curiously await to see if Rubina would prioritize her game or the man she fancied when her position in the house was at risk.
