WARNING! THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS ABOUT BIG BROTHER 26!
Big Brother 26 houseguest Angela Murray has been a suspected producer plant since the beginning of the season, but the latest spoilers from the live feeds prove once and for all that she's not. Angela, a 50-year-old real estate agent, mother, and grandmother currently living in Syracuse, Utah, has had some harsh backlash due to her outbursts in the Big Brother 26 house, from both her fellow houseguests and viewers. From her attack on Matt Hardeman, during which she called him "Crazy Eyes," to her mocking Lisa Weintraub's walk and calling her a twit, Angela's personal jabs at the houseguests haven't been well-received.
Since the beginning of Big Brother 26, Angela has been very theatrical, crying often and getting into confrontations. Her over-the-top reactions to things made some people feel that they couldn't possibly be real, and that she was a plant hired by the producers to create drama in the house. However, the latest live feed spoilers prove that Angela is more than her drama.
Why Did Big Brother 26 Fans Think Angela Murray Was A Pawn?
Angela Has A Long History With CBS
Before she became a Big Brother 26 houseguest, Angela appeared on three other CBS TV shows. Angela and her family appeared in the first episode of House Calls with Dr. Phil in 2021 in an episode titled "Traumatized and Dramatized." Dr. Phil visited Angela's family in Utah because her teenage daughter hadn't spoken to her father and sister in three years, despite living in the same house. Angela had reached out to Dr. Phil for help.
Angela has also appeared on two CBS game shows, The Price Is Right in 2019 and Let's Make a Deal. Because Angela has been affiliated with CBS for many years, fans thought that the network recruited her because they knew that she'd make good TV. Combined with the drama that she's brought to Big Brother 26, fans assumed that she was a producer plant because the producers knew about her before the show.
Angela Has Now Won Her Second Head of Household (HOH) Competition
Angela Is A True Competitor
Although Angela has been mostly known for her meltdowns on Big Brother 26, the live feeds have now revealed that she won the week 4 Head of Household (HOH) competition, which is her second HOH of the season. Because it's only week 4, she's now won half of the HOH competitions, which is a very impressive feat. Even though Quinn Martin took over her reign with his Deepfake HOH power, Angela guaranteed her own safety, knowing that she's a target of some of the houseguests.
Drama aside, Angela is certainly a competitor. She's played in several competitions so far and has fought hard to win. She's twice some of the younger competitors' ages, but she's able to hold her own. If Angela were only a producer plant without the will to win Big Brother, then she wouldn't care to fight to win. Angela is actually a Big Brother superfan, so, even if the producers cast her because they knew about her big personality, she wouldn't ruin the integrity of the game.
Angela has brought a ton of drama to Big Brother 26, but she's also a true competitor. While Angela might be a producer recruit because of her history with CBS, she's definitely not just a plant who's only goal is to create chaos. Hopefully, she'll calm down and focus on winning the game. Either way, Angela is already an unforgettable Big Brother houseguest.
