Let’s get ready for the first live vote and eviction episode of the Big Brother 26 season! Three Houseguests will start the night on the Couch o’ Danger (*working title, not official) but then thanks to BBAI Arena one of them will step away before the HGs cast their votes and we discover who was voted out tonight. It all starts here at 8PM ET! (Broadcast tonight is 8/7c – new time thanks to CBS and their everchanging schedule.)
Okay, so we’ve got those three noms on the Block: Kimo Apaka, Kenney Kelley, and Matt Hardeman. One of those three guys will be gone by the end of the night. And look at that, we’ve got three men on the Block in week one. That feels like a Big Brother rarity, right?
Don’t miss this week’s eviction episode! You can stream it live on CBS’s Paramount+ Premium plan in most markets across the US so you don’t have to miss any of the fun even if you’re out tonight. Grab the Free Trial and check out the show then watch the Feeds that follow.
“But First,” we’ve got the Arena battle. CBS released a sneak peek at the competition tonight. The 3 Noms will have to race around to watch a series of screens to identify which HG is shown the most. First to lock in the right answer will win his safety.
Big Brother 26 Results – Week 1 BBAI Arena – “Glitch In The System”:
Most appearances: Quinn
BBAI Arena winner: Kimo
Noms remaining: Kenney & Matt
There will be 11 votes this week so once we hit 6 that’s game over. For a moment I forgot Cedric and Chelsie were sidelined as the BB Mascots this week. I believe these HGs know exactly who they want out but it all hinged on who would survive the Arena. With that out of the way it’s time to settle the discussion.
Big Brother 26 Results – Week 1 Votes:
Kimo votes to evict: Matt
Lisa votes to evict: Kenney
Makensy votes to evict: Kenney
T’kor votes to evict: Matt
Brooklyn votes to evict: Matt
Leah votes to evict: Kenney
Rubina votes to evict: Matt
Quinn votes to evict: Matt
Cam votes to evict: Matt
That’s enough votes.
Tucker votes to evict: Matt
Joseph votes to evict: Matt
Matt Hardeman has been evicted from Big Brother 26 by a vote of 8-3.
Off to the front of the house for this Houseguest. Will there be a Battle Back of sorts this season? Maybe we’ll hear more tonight. Let’s see what Julie has to say.
Hmm, Julie just discussed Quinn’s Deepfake HOH and Makensy’s America’s Veto right in front of Matt before the end of the show, so nah, I’m going to say he won’t have a chance to return. Hmm, okay unless it would be after those powers ran out… but nah, then he’d still know Quinn won it and didn’t share the news (Makensy had already told Matt of her power). Okay, so I’m saying Matt is solidly out and won’t have a Battle Back situation this season.
Big Brother 26 Results – Week 2 HOH:
Spoilers: awaiting results from the Live Feeds…
