Update: T’kor and Kimo are looking at a vote flip! Maybe this will happen after all, but only if it’s Cedric versus Rubina. Then again, Joseph is now trying to talk them out of it.
It’s time to chat about our eviction predictions in Week 4 and decide who we think is going home tonight on Big Brother 26. We’ve got three options, soon to be narrowed down to two, and then it’ll be up to these wavering Houseguests to send one of them out the door.
There’s no mysterious America’s Vote this week so we’ve already got the three Noms set for tonight’s Arena. That’ll be Cedric, Makensy, and Rubina facing off and we’ve already chatted about who has the best odds and who needs it the most, but let’s break it down again right here.
And before we get to the scenarios the vote count is sort of interesting. Last week there were eleven votes so you’d expect ten this week but with the Deepfake HOH it sounds like Quinn doesn’t get to vote, just the same as Angela as HOH. So that would put us at a total of nine votes with no chance of a tiebreaker. Five votes sends you out the door.
Scenarios – Cedric wins Arena:
Here’s the easiest one. If Cedric wins his way out of the AI Arena and escapes the Block then we can rest assured that Makensy is out the door next. She hasn’t made the connections and allies you need in this game. Rubina hasn’t exactly been tearing up that department either, but she has stayed just ahead of Makensy to make this on easy to figure out.
If it’s Rubina versus Makensy then I expect an overwhelming count against Makensy with maybe Leah throwing a vote her way.
Scenarios – Rubina wins Arena:
Same as before but with a slight temptation to HGs for getting out Cedric when they have the chance. That’s the talk from overnight with Houseguests wondering if this is that perfect opportunity (it just might be).
Do you keep the disconnected Makensy or knock out the well connected, well insulated Cedric who could become a tougher target deeper into the season he goes? Right now the resolve isn’t there for the votes to take out Cedric, but the talk is happening. Will T’kor and Kimo turn on their ally and end The Collective? That’d be a big move and those are two rather passive players. I’m not holding my breath on this one.
Scenarios – Makensy wins Arena:
Same situation as above. If the primary target gets out safely then there’s less pressure for Rubina to go than Makensy, so does that increase the temptation to target Cedric here? I’m just not convinced that Kimo and T’kor will take action on this one, but if they do and combine their votes with Tucker and allies then it could happen.
Update: From talks this morning we’re hearing T’kor and Kimo seemingly determined to vote out Cedric if Makensy wins the Arena, but not if Rubina does. Joseph doesn’t like this plan, but they say they’ll do it anyway. Lots of pieces need to align for this to happen though.
Overall, Cedric getting voted out tonight would be the blindside result for sure and would obviously shake apart the Collective and it’d knock the Pentagon down a member. Would Brooklyn just flip over to the Five Pointz, leaving Quinn, Cam, and Chelsie stranded? That could all make for an exciting Week 5 of Big Brother 26.
For now I’m most expecting Makensy out the door with Rubina as the likely alternative, but don’t give up total hope for a shocker reveal tonight. Houseguests are still yet to start their day and once they do we should be listening for what direction Kimo and T’kor decide to take for tonight’s decision.
