LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Big Brother' Season 26 star Cedric Hodges has recently offered to Deepfake HOH Quinn Martin to be his pawn to take revenge from Tucker Des Lauriers. However, Cedric has the worst strategies and his latest move could lead to his downfall.

During the latest episode, Quinn used his upgrade and stole away HOH Angela Murray's power of nomination and he decided to put Tucker, Makensy Manbeck and Cedric on the block of eviction. Cedric suggested that he could win Veto to prevent Tucker from winning the challenge.

Sadly, Tucker has a record of winning the Veto and AI Arena competitions and Cedric's plan could backfire him. Cedric could cost his spot and land in the bottom 2 alongside Makensy and had to depend on the houseguests's votes which was another trouble. Makensy notably has a strong alliance and has a great bond with other houseguests as well.

'Big Brother' Season 26 star Cedric Hodges's HOH reign proved to be a failure

'Big Brother' Season 26 houseguest Cedric Hodges won the Head of House spot during week 3 and his reign was a total fail. He repeated Week 2 nominations and put Angela Murray, Kenny Kelly, and Tucker Des Lauriers on the block of eviction.

However, Tucker won the Power of Veto challenge and saved Angela from elimination. Angela was then replaced by Makensy Manbeck who also used her 'America's Vote' upgrade power and skipped elimination. However, America voted Quinn Martin on the eviction block but Cedric and other houseguests saved him eliminating the weakest member, Kenney.

'Big Brother' Season 26 star Quinn Martin exposes his secret power

Despite being near the expiration date, Quinn Martin decided not to use his Deepfake upgrade power. However, 'Big Brother' Season 26 star Quinn called an emergency meeting for his Pentagon alliance and asked for their suggestion. Quinn notably changed his mind when he noticed his alliance members could be Angela Murray's target.

The Pentagon agreed with Quinn and decided he should use his power to protect them through Angela's reign. He then decided to send Rubina as a replacement nominee. During the nomination ceremony, deepfake Angela nominated Tucker Des Lauriers, Makensy Manbeck, and Cedric Hodges.

Ainsley later confirmed that Angela was still safe for the week and remained in the HOH room. However, Quinn exposed himself and referred to the nominees as being 'fierce competitors.' The drama would be more thrilling and entertaining if he could have kept his power secret and left the houseguests afraid of him.
