Big Brother Season 26: Week 12 HoH Winner and Nomination Spoilers

Big Brother Season 26 aired its latest episode on Thursday, October 3, 2024. This exciting two-hour episode featured the eviction of Kimo, who became the fifth jury member, culminating in an exit interview with host Julie Chen Moonves.

Shortly after, the Live Feeds on Paramount+ revealed that Chelsie won the Head of Household (HoH) for Week 12, securing her spot in the final three. The Feeds also shared Chelsie’s plans for the upcoming nominations.

Although she was thrilled about her HoH win, Chelsie recognized the importance of making strategic decisions to protect her game in the final stages of the competition. She aimed to develop good relationships with the remaining houseguests, pledging loyalty to Cam in one instance while assuring support to Makensy in another. Meanwhile, Rubina and Cam were frustrated after losing yet another challenge.

As the evening approached, Big Brother announced that nominations would take place that night, putting Chelsie in a difficult position.

After the Thursday episodes concluded, the Live Feeds resumed on Paramount+. Chelsie addressed the cameras, expressing her excitement about winning the final Head of Household competition of Big Brother Season 26. She admitted it was challenging to look directly into the camera because it made her feel emotional.

“I won the last HoH of the season! What the heck! What the heck? I made it to the final three of Big Brother. I am going to wear this. I never do, but I am going to be proud of myself,”Chelsie exclaimed.

On the other hand, Rubina reflected on her HoH loss, acknowledging that she needed to secure wins to claim the title. Despite her disappointment, she comforted herself, stating, “Losses can be wins.”She believed it was possible to win without being a challenge beast and continued to motivate herself, taking pride in being among the top four contestants.

In another segment, Chelsie conversed with Cam about the nominations. She reassured him that he was part of her “final two” alliance but wanted to keep this information hidden from the others. She noted:

“Okay, they’re both [Rubina and Makensy] afraid of you and me being a pair. So, I may consider putting you up.”

Chelsie aimed to give Rubina and Makensy the impression that she was not closely aligned with Cam by potentially nominating him. She elaborated that they needed to maintain a strategic edge: “smart about them freaking out.”When she inquired who Cam would prefer to stand beside him, he replied, “I don’t think it matters.”However, he indicated it would be “smarter”to send Makensy home if he won the Power of Veto.

Chelsie planned to talk to Rubina and Makensy to see if either would like to join Cam on the nomination block. She explained that the final decision would depend on the Veto competition winner. Since Rubina had been on the block the previous week, Chelsie asked Makensy to consider volunteering.

Makensy agreed to go up for nomination. Chelsie assured her that if she won the Veto, she would “100%”use it to save her. She emphasized:

“It’ll be two versus one in the final three, and we have a good chance of winning those competitions. I am adamant on this. We are the only ones that will take each other to the final. I will gladly sit next to you in the final two.”

Chelsie worried that Cam and Rubina had a strong alliance and could turn against her if necessary. Hence, she felt relieved about her HoH win as she didn’t want to share the nomination block with Makensy.

Soon after, during the nomination ceremony, Chelsie officially named Cam and Makensy as the nominees for Week 12.

Big Brother airs every Sunday and Thursday, exclusively on CBS.
