LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Big Brother' Season 26 star Kenney Kelley recently skipped elimination after he managed to earn a runner-up spot in AI Arena. However, he was left disappointed and miserable after his close friend Matt Hardeman got eliminated.

The duo have formed a strong bond in just a few days in the house. Kenney supported Matt in his tough times and even comforted him when he broke down in tears after HOH Angela Murray's drama. Additionally, when CBS show host Julie Chen Moonves urged Matt and Kenney to pull individuals to talk to save themselves from elimination, both rejected the offer.

However, the viewers slammed Kenney and claimed that he didn't want to save himself from elimination and demanded his exit.

A social media user insisted, "I wanted Kenny to get evicted idc." Another person added, "It should have been Kenny. Anyone willing to throw their game away for another player after ONE WEEK doesn’t deserve to play f--k that."



 



 

Another critic noted, "Kenny is crazy as hell to be willing to throw his game away for someone he met a week and a half ago." Another internet user penned, "Why tf did they waste a spot on Kenny if he doesn't want to play the game? Someone else would've loved to play the game." Another viewer said, "Kenny wanted to go home so bad he looks miserable."
