WARNING: This article contains spoilers about Big Brother 26's Thursday live eviction episode.
Big Brother 26 has only been in session for about a month, but the competition continues to be dramatic with a potential blindside in the works ahead of tonight’s live eviction episode. Throughout Big Brother 26’s first few weeks, the competition has been stiff with Tucker Des Lauriers becoming the house target and continuing to save himself from eviction in the AI Arena competition and Power Of Veto in concurrent weeks. After Tucker removed himself from the block with the veto, Quinn Martin named Rubina Bernabe the replacement nominee with the Deepfake HOH power, but a blindside could be coming.
Throughout the last day, houseguests T’Kor Clottey and Kimo Apaka (via BB Live Updaters on X) have been working hard to see if there’s a way to save Rubina, should she lose the AI Arena competition and stay on the nomination block for the upcoming eviction. Aware of the Pentagon alliance between Quinn, Brooklyn Rivera, Chelise Baham, Cam Sullivan-Brown, and Cedric Hodges, T’Kor and Kimo have been hopeful that they’d be able to flip the vote onto Cedric, sending him home if he’s up against their closest ally, Rubina.
While Cedric is part of the Collective, the majority alliance in the house that includes everyone in the Pentagon T’Kor, Kimo, and Joseph Rodriguez, both T’Kor and Kimo have felt that their presence in the alliance without any power isn’t helping them move forward in the game. A risky move, T’Kor and Kimo have been trying to find votes with Leah Peters and Makensy Manbeck, should she be off the nomination block during the live eviction, to send Cedric home and send a message to the rest of the house that they’re there to play.
Is T'Kor Clottey’s Big Brother Plan The Right Move Or Too Risky?
T'Kor And Kimo Are On The Bottom Of The Collective
T’Kor, who’s been closely aligned with Kimo throughout the game, has struggled to decide whether she feels comfortable flipping the vote on Cedric for days, but has decided that she wants to play the game fearlessly. Aware of the sub-alliance that Chelsie, Cam, Cedric, Quinn, and Brooklyn have been hiding for weeks, T’Kor has been frustrated at the lack of agency she feels in the Collective, and rather than continuing to go along with their pre-determined plans, T’Kor and Kimo worked to take their voices back from the majority alliance and work with the group who haven’t been included.
The blindside is a major risk, and T’Kor could see some ramifications if she decides to go through with the plan to save Rubina. While it is early for alliance members to flip on the majority, T’Kor and Kimo have been aware of the fact that they’re not being considered in major decisions for the alliance at all. Rather than participating in conversations, the pair have been told what to do and struggled with some of the Collective's choices. As a play for T’Kor to take her power back, a blindside on Cedric could be a defining Big Brother move.
With T’Kor, Kimo, and the rest of the houseguests slated to participate in the live eviction tonight at 8 p.m. EDT, the hours will draw on for them as the reality of the blindside sets in. For T’Kor and Kimo, being loyal to each other, Rubina, Tucker, and Angela Murray has been difficult while they’ve participated in the other majority alliance in the house. By going against the majority, they could be making one of the biggest moves of the game, or they could be creating havoc in the Big Brother house for their next week of gameplay.
Big Brother airs Wednesdays & Thursdays at 8 p.m. EDT and Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS.
