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.

Makensy Manbeck consoles Matt Hardeman amid his emotional breakdown

'Big Brother' Season 26 star Makensy Manbeck was still unsettled by Angela Murra’s comment that she could do better than Matt Hardeman. Despite this, Makensy chose to stand by Matt. In the episode, Matt broke down after the houseguests abandoned him during the veto competition.

No players included Matt on their teams, and he was seen crying in the bathroom. However, Makensy, along with other houseguests, stepped into comfort and motivate him. Matt was concerned that his confrontation with Angela might reflect poorly on him in his mother’s eyes. However, the houseguest reassured him that his mother knew him well and would support him no matter what.

'Big Brother' Season 26 houseguest Matt Hardeman threatens Angela Murra

'Big Brother' Season 26 houseguest Matt Hardeman has recently been accused of threatening Angela Murra. Angela has publicly criticized Matt, claiming that she had a traumatic experience with him after he allegedly threatened her both 'verbally' and 'aggressively'.

In the previous episode, Angela targeted Matt, believing he didn't deserve anyone's trust. However, she later apologized to him, assuring him that she never intended to put him on the block.

However, Matt took the situation seriously and admitted that it affected him. He made a veiled threat to Angela, suggesting it wouldn’t be wise to put him on the block, especially if he had two chances to remove himself from it.

Matt's comment unsettled Angela, leading her to keep a close eye on him. The situation escalated in the latest episode when Angela confronted Matt in front of the other houseguests. She referred to him as 'crazy eyes' and accused him of claiming he had everyone in his back pocket.
