I didn’t think anything could top the chaos that followed the Week 1 veto ceremony, but the fallout in the aftermath of Week 3 tops it. Those who aren’t streaming Big Brother Season 26 missed out on a lot of drama on Monday, and I have a feeling that there’s just too much of it to be covered in the upcoming episodes. Fortunately, we here at CinemaBlend were watching and can explain the fights as well as the secret power activation that fans should be keeping an eye on.
Before we dive into the aftermath, readers should remember that Cedric Hodges is the Week 3 Head of Household and that Tucker Laruriers won the veto. It’s also worth mentioning that Tucker volunteered to be nominated alongside Angela Murray and Kenney Kelley and pitched a plan to Cedric, Cam Sullivan-Brown, and Kenney to use the veto on Angela and have Quinn Martin nominated in her place. That effectively set the stage for the veto ceremony and by extension, all the chaos that unfolded afterwards.
Tucker Used His Veto To Remove Angela, And Accused Cedric Of Betraying Him
The Big Brother live feeds showed Cedric trying to play both sides, leading to some miscommunication. Cedric indicated to Tucker, Cam, and Kenney that he was on board with the plan to use Quinn as the replacement nominee but later exposed the plan to Quinn and his alliance, The Pentagon (Cedric, Brooklyn Rivera, Cam, Quinn, Chelsie Baham). Quinn came clean to the alliance about his Deepfake HOH power. He then apologized for not being straightforward to them, and they all collectively agreed that it would be better for them to have Quinn and allow him to use his power in Week 4 before it expires.
Cedric tried to tell Tucker the plan was off, saying they “didn’t have the votes,” but Tucker interpreted that as him being unsure if the plan would work. Tucker said he was going to use the veto on Angela anyway and assumed Cedric would ultimately renominate Quinn, as they discussed earlier. When the feeds returned, it was clear that Cedric didn’t go with the plan and instead, nominated Makensy Manbeck after Tucker took Angela off the block.
Tucker was upset about that and felt like Cedric blindsided him. The latter’s reply led Tucker to think he was being accused of being a liar, which set off a big fight between them. Here’s a highlight that shows how heated it was:

T’Kor Clottey, who was on the bed for the argument, later told Tucker that she felt uncomfortable during the exchange. Tucker apologized to her but said that he has issues with being called a liar, and that yelling and arguments are part of Big Brother. I would say Cedric and Tucker are firmly against each other at this point, while everyone else is just trying to stay out of their way.
