LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Big Brother' Season 26 star Quinn Martin is hiding a surprising secret power that could create chaos in the house, leading some houseguests to question his loyalty. In the latest episode, Tucker Lauriers won the 'Recharge My Core' Veto competition and decided to stir things up

Tucker had a conversation with Cam Sullivan-Brown in the storage room to expose Quinn. He revealed that Quinn possesses a secret power allowing him to hijack the HOH's nominations. Cam was shocked by the revelation, as he was part of two alliances with Quinn. This new information led him to question Quinn's loyalty to him and the alliance.

Cam passed the information to HOH Cedric Hodges, who then confronted Quinn about his alleged power. Quinn denied the claims, insisting that Lisa Weintraub must be the one with the power. However, viewers accused the show of giving Quinn a villainous edit, as he lied to both his alliance and other houseguests.

On social media, one user said, "I guess production is mad at Quinn for ruining their twist." Another added, "THEY'RE GIVING HIM THE VILLAIN EDIT. CALLED IT." Another critic wrote, "Yeah Quinn got the villain edit it's over." Another internet user said, "Production really has unlimited amount of footages that Quinn being obnoxious." One viewer claimed, "The edit is burying Quinn before this audience vote."

'Big Brother' Season 26 star Tucker Laurier targets Quinn Martin for elimination

After exposing Quinn Martin, Tucker Laurier decided to use his secret power to shake things up further. Furious with Quinn, Tucker used his Power of Veto on Angela Murray, expecting HOH Cedric Hodges to name Quinn as the replacement nominee.

In a wild twist, Cedric chose Makensy as the replacement nominee instead of Quinn, which infuriated Tucker. He confronted Cedric, criticizing his decision as a 'stupid a** idea' and vowed never to forget the betrayal. Meanwhile, Quinn's secret power was leaked to other houseguests after he inadvertently shared it with Angela and Kimo Apaka.
