'Big Brother' Season 26: Do Makensy Manbeck's plans hint at something deep with Matt Hardeman?
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Big Brother' Season 26 recently featured a heated argument between HOH Angela Murray and Matt Hardeman. The confrontation caused a rift among the houseguests, dividing their alliances and eroding trust in Matt, which fueled the elimination frenzy.
However, Matt’s partner, Makensy Manbeck, decided to use her power to save him from elimination amid their growing romance. Makensy had previously upgraded her status during the premiere, and her secret power was recently revealed: she can now remove one houseguest from the block, with America choosing the replacement.
Matt’s rivalry with Angela put him at the bottom alongside Kimo and Kenney. Now at risk of elimination, Matt's fate hinges on Makensy, who has devised a plan to save him by using America’s Veto. This power gives her a few days to find another way to save him. Surprisingly, Makensy chose not to use her special power in the latest challenge.
