‘Big Brother’ Season 26 houseguest Rubina Bernabe dodges eviction with clever 'tactics'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Big Brother' Season 26 houseguests recently opted to save Rubina Bernabe from eviction, with six players voting to eliminate Cedric Hodges. However, this choice could turn out to be a mistake, as Cedric was seen as a more strategic and deserving player. The houseguests should have supported Brooklyn Rivera, Chelsie Baham, and Cam Sullivan-Brown by voting to evict Rubina Bernabe, which would have advanced the gameplay to a more strategic competition. Unfortunately, the houseguests were swayed by Rubina’s emotional plea and her complaints about not receiving enough opportunities
During the last pitch, Rubina got emotional and pleaded for more time in the house to 'inspire and empower' others. However, her game so far has largely revolved around a showmance with Tucker Des Lauriers rather than strategic gameplay. Despite her safe approach, Rubina successfully played the emotional card and persuaded the houseguests to save her.

'Big Brother' Season 26 star Cedric Hodges reacts to his surprising eviction
'Big Brother' Season 26 star Cedric Hodges was taken aback when even Joseph Rodriguez turned against him during the voting ceremony. He shared during his CBS show exit interview, "I think I knew where it was going to go. I hoped for Joseph, but he came up to me and was like, 'Look man, I don't know.'"
However, he also reflected on being the pawn and noted, "Pawns go home. In this game you have to trust individuals. I knew going into the week that T’kor and Kimo were iffy. I knew it was going to be this week or it was going to be a week further down the line. If they could prove themselves this week, then I knew I was going to be good forever."
