Here's why 'Big Brother’ Season 26 fans are rooting for Tucker Lauriers to be week 3 HOH

'Big Brother' Season 26 houseguest Tucker Lauriers won week 2's AI Arena challenge

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Big Brother' Season 26 star Tucker Lauriers requested HOH (Head of Household) Chelsie Baham to nominate him for the block of eviction as a 'pawn,' with the plan to secure a win and put their targets, Angela Murray and Lisa Weintraub, at risk. His strategic move and impressive victory led viewers to label him as a top contender for the next 'HOH.'

During the recent episode, Tucker competed in the AI Arena challenge alongside Angela and Lisa. The challenge required players to rotate gears on a display and assemble puzzle pieces on top of them to match a security scanner key as quickly as possible. Tucker notably assembled his pieces first and emerged victorious.

The CBS show star successfully removed himself from the eviction block with lightning speed, earning high praise from viewers. On X, one fan wrote, "Let’s go Tucker for HOH." Another fan added, "You are all fricken beautiful inside and out #BB26 Tucker for HOH."

One fan said, "Im not rooting for Tucker to win HOH until those damn powers expire." Another fan noted, "Tucker won the AI Arena now go get that HOH! We want chaos!" One fan said, "Tucker suiting up to compete in this hoh #bb26."

Tucker Lauriers wants Makensy Manbeck's elimination

'Big Brother' Season 26 star Tucker Lauriers didn't need much time to choose a houseguest for elimination after winning Week 3's HOH. He quickly targeted Makensy Manbeck, having previously admitted that she was a threat to his group and that he wanted her sent home.

In the previous episode, Tucker suspected that Makensy had a secret power, which turned out to be true. Although Makensy admitted to Tucker that she had a power advantage, she omitted crucial details. Despite this, Tucker was determined to eliminate her and urged the current HOH, Chelsie Baham, to nominate Makensy as a pawn so she could use her power.

Houseguest Tucker Lauriers entered the 'Big Brother' Season 26 house with the only ambition of winning the game, willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goal. He saw Lisa Weintraub as a threat to his group and was particularly concerned that she might have a secret power, though it turned out she did not.

Tucker also found Lisa Weintraub quite annoying and was determined to get rid of her. He even told Angela Murray that he would throw the AI Arena challenge so he could sit next to Lisa and have her voted out. Notably, Tucker's plan succeeded, and Lisa was eliminated from the house.
