After being down for over nine hours, the Big Brother 26 live feeds returned to the houseguests getting ready for the day. There were some conversations between the Big Brother houseguests about the upcoming Nomination Ceremony and what could happen if one of the nominees were to win the Power of Veto and then the AI Instigator was unleashed on the house.
After the AI Instigator’s message was played for the houseguests, there was a lot of speculation about who could be behind it. Some thought it could be an evicted BB26 houseguest, but most started pointing fingers at the ones who remain in the house. Read on to get all the details of what took place on Friday after the feeds returned.

4:03 PM BBT – Tucker, Kimo, and T’Kor are now in the HOH room. Tucker says he bets this is an America’s vote thing. Kimo says that it’s likely someone in the house. Tucker wonders if it’s Quinn, but Kimo says he thinks it would be too obvious. He says that Quinn did notice the hand-holding though.
4:08 PM BBT – Tucker tells T’Kor not to change the plan because then whoever this is wins. Kimo says he also wants to know who told Leah about Five Points. Tucker says Brooklyn knew.

11:30 PM BBT – Tucker tells Joseph that everyone in 6th Ave is skeptical about Joseph. Joseph tells Tucker that he trusts him most in the game and then Leah. Says that he would really like to keep Leah in the house. Tucker points out that Leah might be sharing things he has told her.
11:35 PM BBT – Rubina thinks that Joseph is the AI Instigator. Says that he hasn’t interacted with anyone today, his faec was weird during, and he left immediately after (when feeds returned he was in the upstair lounge alone).

11:40 PM BBT – MJ is now telling Cam why she thinks Angela is the AI Instigator.
12:20 AM BBT – T’Kor wants Joseph and Angela out of the alliance and would prefer that Chelsie be brought in. They also talk about the potential of bringing Quinn into their six.

1:20 AM BBT – Kimo and T’Kor go and talk to Chelsie and Quinn. Feeds are in and out the whole time.
1:55 AM BBT – T’Kor tells Kimo that she feels good about the conversations they just had in the kitchen. They question whether it’s a good idea to bring Tucker into it. They wonder if they should just keep it at the five of them (T’Kor/Kimo/Rubina/Chelsie/Quinn).
2:35 AM BBT – Rubina brings up T’Kor and Kimo being a duo, but T’Kor says she doesn’t see herself in a duo, she says they are a trio.
3:15 AM BBT – All cams are on sleeping HGs.
Nominations went as T’Kor planned with MJ, Cam, and Tucker being nominated. Tucker is clearly a pawn for T’Kor in this situation, but could the Big Brother HGs take the shot if he fails to win the Veto or BBAI Arena? After the AI Instigator brought Tucker and Rubina’s showmance to the forefront and even told the HGs that they should have evicted her when they had the chance, things could get dicey for them. For some reason that thought hasn’t crossed either of their minds because Tucker insisted that T’Kor stick to her nomination plans and Rubina is still volunteering to go up as a renom if T’Kor needs her to.
