Who lost veto competition on ‘Big Brother’ Season 26? Elimination threat looms for three houseguests
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In Episode 4 of 'Big Brother' Season 26, the Veto competition brought high stakes and intense drama. The competition, a Spelling Bee challenge, required players to find letter tiles and spell the longest word within 12 minutes. The six participants included Angela Murray, Kenney Kelly, Kimo Apaka, Lisa Weintraub, Joseph, and Brooklyn.
Lisa Weintraub emerged victorious, spelling the word "Transform", which secured her safety for the week. However, the focus quickly shifted to the houseguests who did not win and remained on the chopping block: Matt Hardeman, Kenney Kelly, and Kimo Apaka.
Kenney, Kimo, and Matt all failed to spell longer or correct words, leaving them vulnerable to eviction. Their inability to win the Veto means they are still nominated for elimination and must rely on their social game and alliances to stay in the house.
With Lisa saving herself from the block, Angela, the current Head of Household, had to nominate a replacement. She chose Matt Hardeman, adding him to the existing nominees, Kenney and Kimo. This decision has intensified the tension in the house, as alliances scramble to secure votes and ensure their safety.
The Veto competition's outcome has set the stage for a dramatic eviction night, with Kenney, Kimo, and Matt all facing the threat of elimination. As alliances are tested, viewers can expect an intense battle for survival in the 'Big Brother' house.
Who became the HOH during first week of 'Big Brother' Season 26?
In the first week of 'Big Brother' Season 26, Angela Murray became the Head of Household (HOH). Angela, known as the "House Mom", proved that age is just a number by winning the initial HOH competition. This role gave her significant power in the house, allowing her to nominate housemates for eviction.
During the competition, Angela outperformed her fellow contestants, securing the victory and earning the responsibility of making the first strategic moves of the season. As the HOH, Angela had to decide which houseguests to put on the block for possible eviction, a decision that could shape alliances and rivalries in the house.
Matt Hardeman threatens Angela Murray
In a recent episode of 'Big Brother' Season 26, tensions escalated when Matt Hardeman made a veiled threat against Angela Murray, the current Head of Household (HOH). The incident occurred during a one-on-one conversation in Angela's HOH room.
Angela, who had unintentionally put Matt's game at risk earlier, decided to confront him about his behavior. During their exchange, Matt warned Angela, saying, "You put me up, somebody will take me down, if not myself. And when I am down, you better believe you’re going up on the block."
This implied that if Angela nominated Matt for eviction, he would ensure she faced repercussions if he managed to stay in the game.
Angela, feeling threatened by Matt's words, later addressed the situation in front of the entire house. She publicly called out Matt, sarcastically thanking him for considering her a threat and mockingly dubbing him "Crazy Eyes".
Angela's outburst was intense and emotional, as she felt deeply unsettled by Matt's earlier remarks.
In her confessional, Angela expressed her frustration, saying, "Matt's threat made me realize how dangerous he could be to my game. I had to let everyone know what he said and how it made me feel."
Big Brother 26 is available to stream on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays on CBS at 9 PM ET.
