LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Big Brother' Season 26 star Tucker Des Lauriers has recently suspected Makensy Manbeck as a threat and admitted that he wants her out of the house. In a recent episode, Tucker had a conversation with Kimo Apaka and reflected on his true intentions about Makensy.

Tucker admitted that he doesn't trust Makensy and wants her to be eliminated next. After the conversation, he went to Makensy for a conversation and to know if he could trust her. Tucker did his best to manipulate Makensy and get her to admit to her secret power by guessing what it was.

Makensy didn't fully fall for Tucker's trap at first but later realized that if she didn't reveal her power to Tucker, he could see her as a threat. Makensy revealed her 'America's Veto' power to Tucker and claimed that HOH Chelsie Baham already knew about it. However, she left some of the details about her secret power which gave Tucker a reason to target Makensy for eviction.

Tucker Des Lauriers wants to send Makensy Manbeck in AI Arena

After Makensy Manbeck revealed her power, Tucker Des Lauriers went to HOH Chelsie Baham to make a request. He insisted that HOH should send Makensy to AI Arena as a pawn because of her secret power. Chelsie considered Tucker's request but she told him that it would draw a line in the sand even if the whole house would be against Makensy.

However, Tucker's request backfired and Chelsie sent him as a replacement in the challenge after Kenney removed himself from the nomination block with the Power of Veto so Chelsie had to name a replacement. She opted for the big move and claimed that she trusted Tucker that he would win the AI Arena challenge.

Makensy Manbeck ditch to use her secret power to save Matt Hardeman

'Big Brother' 26 star Makensy Manbeck sparked a showmance with Matt Hardeman and speculated to use her America's Veto power to save him. Makensy has an "upgrade power" that allows her to replace a nominated houseguest with another contestant of her choice.

However, she opted to stay quiet about her power and let go of her romance. Makensy seemed to be strategic about her advantage and would use her power only when she found herself on the block of elimination.
