One critic noted, "Kenney… you don’t have to wait, take the door. Get out. Sick of him. You took the opportunity from someone else, we get you don’t want to be there… go home." "Kenny not wanting to play is such a slap in the face to every one who submitted casting videos. Get him outta there," wrote another fan. Another fan said, "If he self evicts, it must mean that he forfeits the pay for the weeks theyre in the house… cause why not just quit Kenny."

Kenney Kelly upset after Matt Hardeman's exit
Kenney Kelley recently opened up about his deep connection with fellow contestant Matt Hardeman, calling him "my boy." During a tense moment in the AI Arena, Kenney expressed his reluctance to compete against Matt. This reluctance frustrated their mutual teammate, Angela Murray, who was eager to see Matt eliminated.
In a conversation with Angela, Kenney insisted, "He's my boy... he's number one." Furthermore, in a confessional, Kenney elaborated on his feelings, saying, "I'm a competitive person, but the emotions of being against Matt make it kind of difficult."
He added, "I really thought I was a person who could keep those emotions in check. Unfortunately, I'm learning something new about myself—failing and guilt and stuff—so that's the kind of dilemma I'm in right now."
Kenney Kelly won veto power in week two
In the second week of 'Big Brother' Season 26, Kenney Kelley won the Power of Veto (PoV). This victory was crucial for Kenney, who had been nominated for elimination by the Head of Household, Chelsie Baham.
Chelsie nominated three contestants: Kenney, Lisa, and Angela. To secure his safety, Kenney had to compete in the PoV challenge. Joining the competition were Brooklyn Rivera and Joseph Rodriguez, who were randomly selected.
Kenney had previously expressed a desire to quit the show, but after winning the PoV, he spoke with fellow contestant Leah Peters. He informed her that he would use his new power to remove himself from the block.
'Big Brother' Season 26 is available to stream on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays on CBS at 9 PM ET.
