Big Brother 26 Week 10 Overview
Introduction
Warning: Major Spoilers Ahead! This article delves into the latest developments in Big Brother 26, specifically focusing on the events of Week 10. Following the conclusion of the Jankie World twist and T’kor Clottey’s eviction, the houseguests were thrust into a new challenge: the Head of Household (HOH) competition. With the previous HOH, Leah Peters, not eligible to participate, the contenders were Makensy Manbeck, Angela Murray, Cam Sullivan-Brown, Chelsie Baham, Kimo Apaka, and Rubina Bernabe. The objective? Stack candy-shaped puzzle pieces within an hour. The winner of this challenge was Makensy Manbeck.
Makensy’s HOH Victory and Strategy
Winning the Competition
The live feeds from Big Brother 26 confirmed Makensy’s triumph in the Week 10 HOH competition. Her victory set the stage for a strategic week, as she carefully planned her nominations.
Deceptive Tactics
Makensy shared her intention to nominate Angela and Kimo, with Angela being her actual target, despite telling others otherwise. Initially, she informed Leah that Kimo was her target, but this was a ruse. Her real plan was to ensure Angela’s eviction by nominating her alongside Kimo, preventing them from saving each other with the Power of Veto. Makensy confided in Rubina that she hoped for a split vote, allowing her to cast the deciding vote against Angela.
Conversations and Manipulations
Makensy also disclosed her strategy to Kimo, explaining that he was a pawn in her plan to eliminate Angela. She maintained the facade with Leah, assuring her of Angela’s safety, while secretly rallying support for Kimo. Later, she arranged a private conversation with Angela, aiming to keep her calm about the impending nomination.
Implications of Week 10 HOH Results
Angela’s Potential Downfall
Angela, a contentious figure in the house who has been nominated five times and saved thrice by the Power of Veto, might finally see her game end. Her dramatic outbursts and speculations of being a producer plant have polarized fans, with many eager for her departure.

Makensy’s Competitive Streak
Makensy’s victory in the HOH competition solidifies her reputation as a formidable competitor. She noted that one more win could break Tucker’s record for the season, who previously claimed one HOH, three Power of Vetoes, and two BB A.I. Arena victories, totaling six wins. Makensy currently boasts five wins, including one HOH, two Power of Vetoes (one being an America’s Veto upgrade), and two BB A.I. Arena competitions.
Analysis of Week 10’s Strategy
Likelihood of Success
Makensy’s plan stands a strong chance of success, provided Angela does not win the Power of Veto again. The satisfaction of seeing Makensy potentially evict Angela—who had previously targeted and evicted Makensy’s ally, Matt Hardeman—adds a layer of poetic justice to the proceedings.
The Crucial Role of the Power of Veto
The upcoming Power of Veto competition is pivotal. If the nominations remain unchanged, Angela’s eviction seems inevitable. However, if Angela clinches the Power of Veto, Makensy may pivot to targeting Leah, despite her reservations about sending Leah to the jury.
Should Leah win and save Angela, Makensy will need to recalibrate her strategy, underscoring the fluid nature of targets in Big Brother 26. With a double eviction looming next Thursday, the stakes are higher than ever.
Big Brother Season 26 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EDT and Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. EDT on CBS.
