Big Brother Season 26 Week 10: Live Feed Updates for Power of Veto Competition

Big Brother Season 26 is rapidly approaching its finale as the season officially moved into week 10 with Episode 31, released on September 22. This episode highlighted Makensy Manbeck’s victory as Head of Household, where she nominated Angela and Kimo for eviction.

This information was already familiar to the show’s devoted viewers due to the Live Feeds streamed on Paramount+, which revealed significant details before the episode aired. The Live Feeds also disclosed that Makensy secured the Power of Veto for the week. However, many fans speculated she might not use this power to save someone from the block, assuming she had made a calculated choice.

Ultimately, the Live Feeds revealed post-Episode 31 that Makensy chose to utilize her Power of Veto to save Kimo and nominated Leah as a replacement.

Why did Makensy opt to use her Power of Veto on Kimo and nominate Leah for eviction in Week 10 of Big Brother Season 26?

In Episode 31, Makensy reassured Kimo that he was only going up as a pawn while her true target was Angela, and similarly told Angela that Kimo was her target.

In reality, Makensy’s strategy was to dismantle one of two alliances: either Kimo-Rubina or Leah-Angela.

Even before Makensy revealed her nominations, Leah expressed fear for both her and Angela’s safety, confiding this to Angela during Episode 31. She regretted not nominating Chelsie during her Head of Household reign in Week 9, fearing Chelsie’s influence on Makensy.

Her instincts were correct, as Chelsie persuaded Makensy to put Leah up after Makensy mentioned Leah conveyed her plans to evict Chelsie to Rubina.

Initially, Makensy nominated Kimo under the belief that Leah’s vote was crucial, but she began to recognize the merit in Chelsie’s strategy.

With Chelsie and Cam as Makensy’s primary allies, losing one could jeopardize her standing in the game. She trusted Chelsie more than Leah when it came to making it to the finale. Thus, if keeping Leah required sacrificing Chelsie, Makensy chose to prioritize her alliance with Chelsie.

She decided to use her Veto on Kimo, knowing that if Angela were saved, she would likely maintain her bond with Leah. Additionally, Chelsie’s rapport with Kimo and Rubina’s alliance would keep Makensy in their favor, reinforcing her decision to save Kimo.

After the renomination meeting, Leah felt blindsided and walked out in tears, telling Angela that she had not anticipated such a move from Makensy.

Viewers of Big Brother also expressed their disapproval of Makensy’s choice to heed Chelsie’s advice in Episode 31, as it appeared to primarily benefit Chelsie over Makensy.

Leah’s renomination poses a risk for Makensy, potentially costing her a crucial vote at this critical juncture in the competition. Kimo and Rubina have openly discussed targeting Makensy in upcoming double eviction episodes, and should that occur, relying solely on Chelsie and Cam may not be sufficient.
