As we dive right into Big Brother 26 Week 7, we must stop and look back at the mess that was Week 6. Tucker fans are feeling like there were no Best moments this week. But on the flip side, there was one really good moment this week. Big Brother is subjective. I, for one, have been on the Tucker camp while doing my best to maintain an unbiased view on the game itself. But that’s not what these Best and Worst posts are about. These are my opinions, so you know what category I will be putting Tucker’s eviction in. So let’s get to it.
Worst: Tucker Reluctantly Volunteers as a Pawn
Tucker was one of the happiest people in the house when T’Kor won HOH. And since he had volunteered to go up as a pawn for other people, he thought the right thing to do was offer that to T’Kor also. He said he’d rather not, but if she needed him to he would. I am not sure she would have done it or not had he not offered. He thought she wouldn’t do it even if he offered, but here we are.
Best: Tucker Gives T’Kor $5K
No one on this show ever gives away major prizes. Maybe he doesn’t need it. Maybe he wanted to soften her up. Or maybe he genuinely likes her and wanted to do something nice for her.
Worst: Tucker Loses The Veto
Tucker was still pretty much in the game at this point, but losing the veto was the first domino to fall in his downfall. After staying on the block and him feeling unheard by T’Kor again, he started to spiral and never regained his footing.
Best: Angela Completes Her Punishment
I have seen more grueling punishments (and comps) in this game, but Angela’s was pretty tough. And she handled it like a champ.
Worst: Angela Turns On Tucker
Should Angela have wanted Tucker out? If he wasn’t her only ally, absolutely. But he was actively working to keep her around and include her in his alliance(s). And she got paranoid and went after him, which added to his spiral this week.
Worst: Tucker and Rubina Go Public
Putting a showmance on display is never a good idea. And of all weeks, this was the worst week to open that up to the house. At least they got to be as close as possible Tucker’s last week, but this isn’t Love Island.
Worst: Tucker Loses the AI Arena
As I said earlier, this was definitely a Best moment for some. But for me its as a bad moment. I knew Tucker would go home, and my fear of losing the chaotic fun this season has been started to set in right away.
Best: The House Makes A Good Move
I don’t like it, but Chelsie, Cam, Leah, Quinn and Makensy voting out Tucker was the right move for them. It was possibly their only chance to get him out. And let’s not try to give the credit for this to anyone other than Chelsie. I won’t hear of it.
Worst: Tucker is Evicted
Sure it was a smart move, but it was not a great move for Big Brother 26. Tucker was driving the story, giving us the chaos and keeping the house on its toes. Even Dr. Will Kirby tweeted today that he has nothing but respect for Tucker for “playing the most fearless and entertaining game we’ve seen in years!”
Best: Tucker gets that $20K
Tucker might not have been as good as an AI Instigator as we all thought, but he was out of sorts this entire week. But he did his best and I am happy America gave him that prize. Now if he becomes the first pre-juror to win America’s Favorite Houseguest than he will walk away with over $70K this season!
