The much-awaited finale of Big Brother season 26 is approaching, with the final three contestants identified following episode 37 that aired on October 10, 2024.

The houseguests still in the running for the grand prize include Chelsie Baham, Cam Sullivan-Brown, and Makensy Manbeck. With Rubina Bernabe’s recent eviction, these three competitors are now targets for the prestigious Big Brother season 26 championship and the $750,000 reward.

A Recap of Episode 37 in Big Brother Season 26

The recent episode delivered a series of high-stakes moments, culminating in the eviction of Rubina Bernabe. Serving as Head of Household for the fourth time this season, Chelsie Baham faced tough choices leading up to this eviction.

She put forward Cam Sullivan-Brown and Makensy Manbeck as eviction nominees, setting the groundwork for the Power of Veto (POV) competition.

In a pivotal moment, Makensy Manbeck emerged victorious in the POV challenge, ensuring her spot in the final three and forcing Chelsie to name Rubina as the replacement nominee.

This allowed Makensy the decisive role of casting the lone eviction vote, ultimately choosing to evict Rubina, marking her as the 13th houseguest to leave the game and the sixth jury member.
