Sixteen contestants entered the Big Brother house in season 26, which premiered on July 17, 2024. However, after nine weeks of tasks, Power of Veto (POV) competitions, AI Arena challenges, and eviction voting, only seven of those contestants remain—Angela Murray, Cam Sullivan-Brown, Chelsie Baham, Kimo Apaka, Leah Peters, Makensy Manbeck, and Rubina Bernabe.
T'kor Clottey was eliminated after week 9 and joined Quinn Martin in the jury house. The other evictees include Matt Hardeman, Lisa Weintraub, Kenney Kelley, Cedric Hodges, Brooklyn Rivera, Tucker Des Lauriers, and Joseph Rodriguez.
The synopsis of the show reads:
"Big Brother follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week, someone will be voted out of the house, with the last remaining Houseguest receiving the grand prize of $750,000."
Big Brother season 26 eliminations so far
Week 1: Matt Hardeman
Matt Hardeman was the first houseguest to get eliminated in Big Brother season 26. He was nominated by Angela after his conflict with the first HOH (Head of Household). Matt was on the block beside his housemate Kenney and was evicted after receiving eight votes against him.
Week 2: Lisa Weintraub
Lisa Weintraub was sent home after week 2 of Big Brother season 26, with 11 votes against her. She was on the chopping block beside Angela. The houseguests assured Lisa that she would be saved and Angela would be sent home. However, all the contestants turned on her and voted for her to get evicted.
Week 3: Kenney Kelley
Kenney Kelley started missing his family by week 3 and wanted out. He was on the block with Quinn, and it would have been a good decision to eliminate the latter, who was a strong player. However, the housemates fulfilled Kenney's desire and voted against him that week.
Week 4: Cedric Hodges
HOH Quinn nominated Cedric alongside Tucker and Makens for the week 4 eviction. Tucker won the POV and took himself out of the block. Quinn then selected Rubina as the replacement nominee and she was sent to compete against the other two nominees. Makensy emerged victorious in the AI Arena, and Cedric was evicted after receiving more votes compared to Rubina.
Week 5: Brooklyn Rivera
Tucker was the HOH for week 5 and he nominated Quinn, Cam, and Brooklyn to put on the block. After winning Power of Veto, Tucker selected Chelsea as the replacement nominee. After losing the AI Arena, Brooklyn found herself against Cam in the final voting and got evicted after receiving eight votes.
Week 6: Tucker Des Lauriers
Tucker was responsible for his eviction in week 6 of Big Brother season 26. Since his ally, T'kor, was the HOH that week, he volunteered to be put on the block, hoping he would be saved later on. However, he lost the Power of Veto and the AI Arena competition and was sent home after receiving 5 votes against him.
Week 7: Joseph Rodriguez
Week 7 HOH, Quinn, had nominated Angela, Rubina, and Kimo for the eviction. However, he had to select his friend Joseph as a replacement nominee after Leah won the POV and decided to save Angela from nominations. Joseph was up against Kimo in the final voting and was evicted after receiving four votes.
Week 8: Quinn Martin
Quinn Martin was eliminated the following week, however, since he made it past week 7, he became the first Big Brother season 26 jury member. HOH Chelsie picked Quinn as the replacement nominee after Angela was saved by POV. After receiving four votes against him in the final voting, he was sent to the Big Brother jury house.
Week 9: T'kor Clottey
T'kor became the second jury member when she was evicted in week 9. She was put on the chopping block after Angela used her Power of Veto to save Kimo. With majority votes against her, T'kor was evicted and joined Quinn in the jury house.
Big Brother season 26 airs on CBS every Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
