Big Brother 26: Week 10 Power of Veto Highlights
Makensy Manbeck’s Strategic Moves
In a significant turn of events for Big Brother 26, Makensy Manbeck has emerged victorious in the week 10 Power of Veto competition. Adding to her power play, Makensy is also the Head of Household (HOH) this week. Her primary objective is to evict Angela Murray, and she strategically nominated Angela alongside Kimo Apaka, using him as a pawn. Despite informing Angela and her ally, Leah Peters, that Kimo was her target, Makensy’s true aim was to send Angela packing. With her Power of Veto win, Makensy appears poised to fulfill this objective.
The Power of Veto Competition Unveiled
The live feeds have confirmed Makensy’s triumph in the Power of Veto competition, reinforcing her control over the week’s proceedings. It is unlikely that she will use the Veto to save either nominee, given her resolve to eliminate Angela. In a conversation with Chelsie Baham and Cam Sullivan-Brown, Makensy expressed her satisfaction at the prospect of being the one to evict Angela. The players in this crucial competition included HOH Makensy, nominees Angela and Kimo, along with Leah, Cam, and Chelsie. Rubina Bernabe was the sole houseguest not selected to compete, while Cam was Makensy’s choice for Houseguest’s Choice.
While specifics of the competition remain under wraps, discussions among the houseguests indicate that Makensy secured a decisive victory. Notably, both Angela and Kimo were unable to complete the competition in time. As part of her reward, Makensy chose three houseguests to join her for a movie viewing, selecting those who have not yet won HOH—Cam, Kimo, and Rubina. This decision did not sit well with Chelsie and Leah.

After enduring six nominations and being saved by the Power of Veto on three occasions, Angela’s stint in the Big Brother 26 house seems to be nearing its end. Despite a strong performance that included two HOH wins and a crucial Power of Veto victory in week 9, Angela failed to secure her safety this week.
Makensy’s eagerness to see Angela leave the house appears to stem from past tensions. Angela’s derogatory remarks towards Makensy’s ally, Matt Hardeman, early in the season, calling him “Crazy Eyes” during a heated argument, led to emotional upheaval and Matt’s early eviction. These events have seemingly fueled Makensy’s determination to evict Angela.

Although Makensy currently wields significant influence as both HOH and Power of Veto winner, the looming double eviction on Thursday poses a threat. Unable to compete for HOH, Makensy’s position is precarious. Rubina and Kimo have already discussed the necessity of targeting Makensy, speculating that Chelsie would be in agreement. However, neither wants to initiate the move, leaving Cam as a potential instigator.

Rubina noted Makensy’s self-comparison to Tucker Des Lauriers, a renowned competitor, given her six competition wins—a testament to her threat level. With alliances forming around her, Makensy may find herself isolated. The duo partnerships of Chelsie and Cam, along with Rubina and Kimo, could leave Makensy vulnerable, especially with Leah likely upset over Angela’s eviction. The upcoming double eviction is set to be a pivotal moment in Big Brother 26, promising a thrilling conclusion to week 10.
