'Big Brother' Season 26 fans are furious as production 'plant' survives eviction

'Big Brother' Season 26 houseguest Angela Murray found herself among the bottom two after failing to win the AI Arena challenge

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Big Brother' Season 26 houseguest Angela Murray recently escaped elimination in Week 2. However, viewers are expressing dissatisfaction with the outcome, alleging that producers may be manipulating the game to keep her in the house for added drama. Despite her efforts, Angela did not win the AI Arena challenge and found herself among the bottom two houseguests.

CBS show star needed votes to remain in the House and actively campaigned to persuade the other houseguests. In her speech, she enthusiastically thanked everyone inside and outside the House for supporting her dream. Despite her previous controversies, Angela received significant backing from her fellow houseguests and only received 1 vote against her.

Kenney Kelly voted against Angela to evict her from the house. Angela's continued presence surprised many viewers, as it was widely believed that most of the houseguests were opposed to her staying. On X, one user claimed, "You can't tell me this entire thing is rigged.. no way someone would wanna keep an old hag that CRIES and argues 24/7."

Another added, "I’m so over #BB26 it’s just so rigged.. production just wants to keep this horrible actor Angela on for what .. to lose ratings 🙄." One critic said, "I've been watching since the first season, and I’ve never disliked a Houseguest more than Angela Murray. She's clearly a plant and is just an all around disgusting person to have to watch."

One user wrote, "Big Brother giving the guests extra money to keep their plant in the game..." Another said, "HEY CBS!!!! We know Angela is a fucking plant. There is no way an emotionally unstable person would stay without production help. FU CBS."

Who was eliminated during 'Big Brother' Season 26 Week 2?

'Big Brother' Season 26 houseguest Lisa Weintraub was eliminated in Week 2 after receiving 11 votes against her. She ended up in the bottom two after failing to win the AI Arena challenge. Lisa expressed feeling blindsided by the vote, claiming that "no one was speaking the truth" to her.

The CBS show star believed that the plan was to evict Angela and thought she was merely a pawn to ensure Angela wouldn't win any of the competitions. Instead, Tucker ended up as the pawn and won the challenge, defeating both Lisa and Angela Murray. Lisa also remarked that the houseguests missed an opportunity to evict Angela, whom she criticized for her bullying tactics
