LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the recent episode of 'Big Brother' Season 26, Kenney Kelley won the Power of Veto. The Veto competition, titled 'Code Tower,' tasked houseguests with constructing a tower of blocks high enough to reach a laser. Kenney swiftly identified the most stable base and was the first to make substantial progress, ultimately securing the victory in the challenge.

Winning the Power of Veto allowed Kenney to save himself from the eviction block, which required Head of Household Chelsie Baham to select a replacement nominee. Chelsie chose Tucker Des Lauriers as the new nominee.

Tucker had previously volunteered to be a pawn, confident he could win the ensuing competition and avoid becoming a major target. However, with Kenney’s removal, Tucker now faces a serious threat of eviction, making his position in the game more precarious than ever.

'Big Brother' Season 26 star Chelsie Baham nominated three houseguests for eviction

In the previous episode of 'Big Brother' Season 26, Head of Household Chelsie Baham announced her nominations for eviction. She decided to put up Angela Murray, Kenney Kelley, and Lisa Weintraub for elimination.

During her nomination speech, Chelsie emphasized that her choices were driven by game strategy and were not personal. She conveyed that she had respect and affection for all three nominees but needed to make strategic moves to safeguard her position in the game.

The nominations surprised many of the houseguests, leading everyone to commit to giving their best in the upcoming Power of Veto competition. Kenney Kelley, in particular, downplayed his situation, expressing that he didn’t believe he was the primary target and remained hopeful about his chances of staying in the house.
