LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Big Brother' Season 26 Week 5 HOH Tucker Des Lauriers has recently shown off his best gameplay which landed Brooklyn Rivera in trouble. Tucker has been planning to evict Brooklyn since week 2 but the only thing he was lacking was the HOH power to put her on the block of eviction. However, Tucker now earned the Head of House power and decided to put Quinn Martin, Cam and Brooklyn on the block. He announced to his alliance that Brooklyn was his actual target but when the houseguest reached him Tucker lied to her face. He tried to assure Brooklyn that she was not the actual target but Quinn was which notably made her over-confident.

Tucker seemed to be a strategic and master player and hadn't lost been his single battle of the house. He wanted to eliminate Cedric Hodges and he successfully did so during week 4 despite the player having great connection with other houseguests. Similarly, Tucker has now plotted Brooklyn's and he is expected to pull off his full-proof plan.
