LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In 'Big Brother' Season 26, the female houseguests have been criticized for their harsh treatment of now-evicted Lisa Weintraub. The houseguests repeatedly mocked Lisa, complaining about her hygiene and claiming she doesn’t shower and is smelly. They have also belittled her cooking, making fun of every meal she prepares.

This behavior has been documented extensively on the show, with hours of footage showing the girls discussing Lisa in a derogatory manner. The negative comments and mockery have sparked a strong backlash from viewers, who feel that the treatment of Lisa is not only unfair but also mean-spirited.

"Lisa has been bashed for her cooking and chef hygiene both upstairs and downstairs in less than an hour," said a user. "The way they talk about Lisa's kitchen hygiene habits ... I cringe for her job security. It's not associating with Angela that has her reputation in danger," said another.



How did Lisa Weintraub get evicted from 'Big Brother' Season 26?

In 'Big Brother' Season 26, Lisa Weintraub was evicted following a dramatic turn of events. After Kenney Kelley won the Power of Veto and used it to save himself, Head of Household Chelsie Baham had to nominate a replacement. Tucker Des Lauriers volunteered to take Kenney’s place, making him, Angela Murray, and Lisa the final nominees.

The AI Arena challenge, which determines who stays and who goes, was won by Tucker, securing his safety. With Tucker safe, the houseguests voted between Lisa and Angela. In a landslide vote of 11-1, Lisa was evicted. She left the house with minimal reaction, and during her exit interview with Julie Chen Moonves, she revealed she was blindsided by the vote and had expected Angela to be the target instead.

Lisa Weintraub called 'twit' by Angela Murray

Lisa Weintraub and Angela Murray’s confrontation on 'Big Brother' Season 26 escalated into a heated argument. The trouble began when Lisa and other houseguests discussed Angela, calling her a "loose cannon" and criticizing her behavior. Angela overheard the conversation and confronted Lisa, mocking her walk and calling her a "twit." Lisa responded by accusing Angela of being a "bully".

This verbal clash intensified as Angela began crying, claiming her remarks were not meant to target anyone and were simply based on her observations. T’Kor Clottey then weighed in, suggesting that Angela's comments could be seen as racially insensitive. Angela insisted her comments were not meant to be discriminatory and were merely about a group acting like an alliance.
