'Big Brother' Season 26: HOH Chelsie Baham labelled 'racist' after 'POC' alliance scandal

'Big Brother' Season 26 HOH Chelsie Baham nominated houseguests for eviction

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Big Brother' Season 26 has recently been accused of continuing its Cookout drama in the latest instalment. The new Head of House Chelsie Baham was dubbed 'racist' after she formed a 'person of color' (POC) alliance.

Chelsie decided to form a new alliance with Cam Sullivan-Brown, Cedric Hodges, Quinn Martin, and Brooklyn Rivera, and named their alliance 'The Pentagon'. However, the viewers have alleged that history has been repeating itself and, compared the alliance with Season 23's dominant alliance of Azah Awasum, Derek Frazier, Kyland Young, Hannah Chaddha, Tiffany Mitchell, and Xavier Prather.

The alliance was reportedly created to have the first-ever black winner. However, Chelsie's alliance was called out by the viewers noting, "This is why I don’t wanna watch Big Brother anymore. It’s all about race and politics now." Another person added, "I don’t even like Angela but she’s not racist for assuming black people are working together because they literally ARE."

Another internet user wrote, "So the black folks already formed an alliance?? CUT THE CORD on this woke ass show CBS. It will never be as good as it use to be. Cookout did this racist shit too ever since yall decided to put half POC in instead of ONE every season."

Another critic added, "Allowing an alliance solely based on race was one of the worst things Big Brother ever did." Another viewer penned, "Don't ya'll think Chelsie's Pentagon alliance is literally inspired by Cookout? I was a fan of Chelsie and her game plan but her alliance threw me away. She seemed to be racist."
