Big Brother 26 witnessed its eighth elimination on Thursday, September 12, and Quinn Martin was sent home by a 4-2 vote. Quinn became the first evicted member to join the Jury house and was welcomed by Jerry O' Connell instead of Julie Chen Moonves.

For the week 9, September 15 episode, Julie Chen Moonves joined the show back. Week 9 officially started with his competition that tested the endurance of the houseguests. The contestants were introduced to their temporary AI buddy, Jankie, for the week.
The contestants were placed in the backyard of the house, which was converted into the 'Jankie World', a replica of a carnival.
It had games, treats, dance floor, and whatnot. The challenge was to spend the whole week in the backyard in the 'Janki World' created for them.
For the HoH competition, the contestants were tasked to hold a giant marshmallow up against the hot pad with the help of a stick and balance it for as long as they could.
T'Kor was the first one to drop the marshmallow just after 28 minutes, and gradually, everyone else started to give up. In the end, Angela, Cam, and Leah were left as the last three contenders. Angela decided to let go of the task, as she had been a HoH before.
9 hours and 55 minutes into the challenge, Cam decided to give up as he was exhausted to the very end. Leah won the HoH competition and became the new Head for week 9 of Big Brother.
Later, everyone was down for rest, as the endurance challenge almost lasted for the whole night. Leah was then determined to have a one-on-one conversation with everyone to plan her strategy for the week.
Leah shared with Cam that she was always left out by the people and now she felt relieved after winning the competition. Leah started pondering over who she would put on the block for nominations.
She revealed that her two nominations for the coming week would be Kimo and Rubina.
Leah said that it was difficult for her to decide the nominees as there are few contestants left, but she felt that the trio of Kimo, Rubina, and T'Kor was too strong in the game, and therefore she wanted to break it.
