Big Brother 26 Was a roller coaster of a time that had some truly incredible moments, however It also has some huge failures that let down its fans. Hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, Big Brother 26 Featured 16 brand new homes compete for the $750,000 grand prize. In the end, Chelsie Baham was unanimously voted the winner, while Mackenzie Manbeck was the runner-up and took home the $75,000 second place prize. In addition, Tucker Des Lauriers won the fan-voted America’s Favorite Houseguest prize of $50,000.
Big Brother 26 Introduced some awesome twistsIncluding the BB AI Arena competition, which required the Head of Household (HOH) to nominate three housemates for eviction instead of the usual two. The three houseguests who remained on the chopping block fought it out on eviction night to decide the final two nominees. In addition, the American Veto twist gave fans the power to choose the replacement nominee after the winner McKenzie used it. They chose Kevin Martin. Both three inhaled big brother After 25 seasons. However, there were also some major failures during Big Brother 26.
The BB Mascot Twist Fall Flat
Chelsie Baham and Cedric Hodges were never in danger
During the two-night Big Brother 26 premiere, Chelsie and Cedric finished last in competitions, and were downgraded to BB Mascots. For the first week of Big Brother 26They are not eligible to compete in the HOH and Power of Veto competitions, but they can still be nominated and evicted. They were not allowed to vote either. In addition, they have to wear giant microchip costumes during the competitions, and cheer on their fellow households.

This twist was disastrous for Chelsie and Cedric’s games, as they would have been easy targets for the first HOH in the first week of the game before the houseguests really knew each other. However, the first HOH, Angela Murray, immediately told them that they had nothing to worry about because they were not her targets. The BB Mascot twist quickly became nothing more than an annoyance to Chelsie and Cedric, as it really didn’t affect their games. The twist would have been better later in the game When the power is stripped away is much more of a danger.
Kevin Martin dissolves the Deepfake HOH Twist
Quinn shouldn’t have told everyone about his power
Queen won The Deepfake HOH upgrades power during week 1, allowing him to secretly take over an HOH reign by using a deepfake avatar of the real HOH to make his nominations. However, he was not required to keep it a secret, so he immediately told Angela, who he did not know was someone who could not be trusted. He also told Kimo Apaka, who eventually spilled the beans to Tucker Des Lauriers, Quinn’s rival, who exposed him.
When Quinn decided to use the Deepfake HOH power to take over Angela’s second HOH reign, everyone knew it was him. He even ended up consulting with Angela about the nominees, eventually having a house meeting because of Tucker, in which Quinn admitted to everyone that he had the power. This led to the trust between him and the household that he did not tell about the power directly.
The Deepfake HOH could have benefited Quinn a lot more if he had used it to make some bigger moves, and possibly framed someone else for him. He didn’t know the household yet well enough to trust them with his Deepfake HOH upgrade power secret. next time, big brother Should require the winner of a HOH power to keep it a secret.
Tucker Des Lauriers wastes his AI instigator power
Tucker didn’t do much as the AI ​​instigator
When fans voted Tucker as the BB AI instigator, they expected him to wreak havoc throughout the house. however, Tucker didn’t really use the ability to use avatars of his fellow houseguests to cause chaos. In the show, he was shown using Quinn’s avatar to explore his own showmance with Rubina Bernabe, so that they didn’t have to hide it anymore. However, this was back when Rubina was very upset about it, rather than relieved.

Tucker also used the BB AI instigator power through Rubina’s avatar calling Angela the best “bot val” At home after the house guests danced together. He also made Kimu’s avatar that Leah Peters got all the tea from the boys, and that knowledge is power. This was meant to cast suspicion on Angela being the BB AI instigator, and also to target Leah. Tucker also used his own avatar To warn the houseguests that Quinn and Chelsea are untrustworthy, and that T’kor Clottey is his new target because she nominated him for eviction.
Tucker’s BB AI instigator messages are very weird, and they didn’t really do much to help his game. He could have used the power to call out some alliances or give the Households important information, but, instead, his messages seemed like a waste. Fans still awarded him the highest amount of prize money for his efforts, which was $20,000, but This three mostly just fell flat.
The OTEV competition ended after one round
McKenzie was the only one who got the first question right
One of the greatest Big Brother 26 Fails was the much-anticipated OTEV competition. Every season, fans look forward to the classic Power of Veto competition, but this year something unprecedented happened: It only lasted one round. All of the players got the first question wrong except for McKenzie, which meant they were all eliminated, and she won.
The first OTEV competition request was particularly challenging, vi It was a bit of a trick question. OTEV asked the houseguests to bring him the card with the name of the first evicted player who did not participate in the first HOH competition. Every household thought that the answer was Tucker because he and McKenzie were not chosen to play on a team in the first round of the competition. However, the round counts as gameplay, so Tucker may not be the right answer. Instead, McKenzie correctly answered evicted householder Cedric, who was a BB Mascot, and ineligible to play.
The Big Brother 26 OTEV competition was a big let down as it ended after only one round. in the future, big brother Should make sure that the first one or two OTEV questions are not too difficult To ensure that the competition lasts more than one round. The challenge of finding the answer and then climbing up the slope would still make the competition exciting, even if the questions were a little easier.
Junkie World Slowed Down Big Brother 26
The junkie veto went to waste
During the junkie world twist, The Big Brother 26 Backyard is transformed into Jankie World, a never-ending carnival During which the houseguests are allowed to eat pizza and ice cream, and have to sing and dance at the command of Junkie, an AI entity, which Kimo described as a “Toddler from Hell.”
While the junkie world twist was fun and challenging for the houseguests at first, It eventually became tedious and boring. The Big Brother 26 Housegues were worn down both emotionally and physically by the end of it, and did not seem to be enjoying themselves. It also made the live feeds and the CBS episodes boring and difficult to watch for fans.

moreover, The Jankie Veto, which was won by HOH Leah, could only be used if she won a carnival game By knocking down milk bottles with a ball. She failed to do so, so the second veto of the week disappointingly went to waste. It should not have that stipulation attached to it.
In addition, because all these Big Brother 26 Houseguests were trapped in the backyard together, secret game talk became very difficult. This slowed down the game because the Housegues could not strategize with their allies in front of their rivals’ face. If big brother Ever decides to do a junkie world-like twist again, in which the houseguests are confined to a smaller space together, Perhaps adding partitions to create separate areas could make it more conducive to them actually playing big brother.
Big Brother 26 It was a spectacular season that ended with one of the best winners in the history of the show, Chelsie. However, there were some missteps along the way. hope, big brother Will learn from the mistakes, so that Big Brother 27 Will be the best season yet.
