Big Brother 26-Mels Friday Recap 9/13/24

Good morning BB Junkies, were still waiting for the feeds to come back to see who won the hoh. I don’t have those results but there ARE eviction spoilers from last night in the recap.

Wednesday Live Feeds

After a slow day of goofing around on Tuesday, it was campaign day on Wednesday for Quinn and Kimo. Some of them helped T’kor finish taking out her braids.

Leah told Quinn about everyone giving her the cold shoulder, especially when she tried to help with T’kor’s hair. (True) Regardless, she finally stopped hiding out in the bedroom and tried to socialize.

Kimo suggested they sing songs and play more games. (Anything to avoid campaigning, I guess) Cam played dress up with Chelsie’s hair pieces.

He showed off his new look to Angela and Kimo while Kimo campaigned:

Chelsie and MJ remained cocky and on a power trip. Chelsie said she liked Quinn and wanted him to stay, but she said “with Quinn gone, Leah will fall in line.” MJ told Chelsie the jury would have a hard time deciding between them in a F2. (No MJ, that’s why the trio is still in the house….to vote for Chelsie)

I’ve noticed Rubina getting a little testy when she talks to T’kor lately and she was again on Wednesday. It may be nothing and I may be reading too much into it. Besties bicker and that’s probably all it is but…..T’kor recently told Rubina about the Visionaries alliance she and Kimo had with Quinn. I thought maybe it bugged her she was just now finding out about it. T’kor also talked about a F2 speech in front of Rubina AND slipped up and said her hoh week was a success. Did these things bug Rubina? I don’t know but I do know one thing. I knew T’kor secretly wanted Tucker taken out on her hoh week! (Haha)

Kimo got some campaign advice from Angela and before you laugh, she gave him good advice. It’s a good thing nothing Kimo said mattered because he’s really bad at campaigning.

The Kimo vs Quinn debate continued for Chelsie and MJ. Quinn was successful in getting the two of them to want to keep him. (That’s crazy) Unfortunately for them, they”d done too good a job convincing Cam that Quinn needed to go.

Anytime Chelsie brought it up, Cam said no and they needed his vote to keep him. (Last night’s episode didn’t give Cam the credit but he’s the reason Quinn was evicted last night) Chelsie and MJ were actually going to keep him after throwing him on the block this week!

About half the people Quinn campaigned to was mostly just him saying his goodbyes. The one with Kimo was emotional and with Rubina, it was awkward. (He’s never trusted Rubina or believed she wanted to work with him but she did) He told T’kor he thought she was playing great and insinuated he’d vote for her or Kimo in the end. (He’s always liked them more than they liked him)

Angela cut Quinn off when he was doing the “no hard feelings” thing and said they should get down to business. (Haha) Quinn is bad at campaigning too. Leah had already secured her vote but Angela wanted to hear it. She needed to hear Quinn tell her he wouldn’t put her on the block. He never got there or got what she was looking for him to say. (I’m happy Quinn got to live his dream of being on BB but he’s not a good player)

His campaign to Chelsie, Cam and MJ wasn’t any better. Quinn was all “loyal, loyal, loyal” but they were all “Leah, Leah, Leah.” He never really got what they were looking for either. You kept promising loyalty to “the 5” but that 5 included Leah so they weren’t interested. They needed him to be pissed off at Leah and say he wouldn’t be loyal to her anymore.

That didn’t happened but for some reason, they let him think he had the votes anyway. He went to bed feeling at least somewhat confident he was going to stay.

Some weird version of Dirty Dancing?

Leah finally had her talk with Chelsie. She’s been planning it since the veto meeting on Monday. (So had Chelsie) They both talked a big game about what they’d say to each other but neither came through with it. They both gave the awkward apologies and talked as if they’re all good now. It was a really long convo that did nothing except make it so things arn’t awkward when they’re around each other.

The hg’s also sang Happy Birthday to Cedric:

Wednesday Veto Episode

This one was a let downin my opinion. We already knew they’d stretch the OTEV footage so it looked like the comp took longer. I don’t know why it needed to be stretched into two full segments with a commercial in between but production thought it was necessary.

I couldn’t believe they didn’t show the clip of Angela confirming to MJ she had the right answer. (Angela thought it was wrong but told MJ it was correct) That would have been the best part of a comp in my opinion. (They showed a similar clip back in BB20 that involved Rockstar)

Angela went up that ramp like it was nothing:

It impressed Leah:

I wish we could”ve heard it being discussed on the feeds by someone other than MJ. Either production didn’t want to include it, which doesn’t make sense, or perhaps MJ made it up. (We may never know)

MJ after she won:

I also couldn’t believe they left the episode on a cliffhanger. I know they do that occasionally, but come on, it was a one round veto comp. There was plenty of time for it. I’ll admit I was amused at the closing shot when the episode ended. Here’s MJ trying to fake cry before using the veto on Angela:

Side Note:

Here’s a thought to future hg’s about the shouts they during the live voting. (No, it’s not to complain about them even tho I hate them) If you want to pretend you’re upset about your vote and you want to actually convince us, take note: Don’t start off with a happy voice while complimenting Julie, switch to a deeper, sad voice when you vote, only to go back to your happy voice to do your shouts outs.

You give yourself away if you don’t maintain the sadness the entire time you’re in there voting. There was so much chatter last week about “MJ’s emotional vote for Kimo to stay.” Didn’t people notice how quickly it left when she started shouting out all of Texas? I prefer Cam’ shout outs. He’s not sad when he votes to evict and always follows it with “shout out to all my dawgs at the crib.” (Consistency people!)

Thursday Live Feeds

This section is gonna be short. The feeds cut early in the day Thursday and still haven’t came back on. (I’m going to check before I wrap this up to see if they’re back)

They finished up with T’kors braids and MJ cut Cam’s hair for him. MJ and Cam made a deal that she could cut his hair and he could do her make up before the Thursday show.

We got to see the haircut happening. Either Cam’s really good doing makeup or MJ didn’t keep her end of the bargain because it looked great last night.

There was another earthquake near the BB house and Julie announced she’d miss the live show. (Seriously, that’s about it for Thursday)

Thursday Live Episode

Jerry O’Connell stood in for Julie which was a shock to the hg’s. I laughed at the moment he switched over to the hg’s and MJ quickly took off the foil hat she was wearing. She looked like an embarrassed kid who got caught doing something silly.

Like the Wednesday episode, I wasn’t impressed with last nights either. I was surprised Quinn begging for votes didn’t make the show. It’s one of the few things he’s done that was actually funny.

I know the feeds went down early yesterday so we missed alot. I assumed they’d tell Quinn he was leaving. We can’t know for sure but I don’t think they did. Quinn seemed genuinely shocked to be evicted.

I also don’t think Angela would’ve voted for him to stay unless she thought he had the votes. (Leah probably would’ve given him a sympathy vote but no way Angela votes Kimo out 2 weeks in a row if she knows Kimo’s staying)

Quinn with his fingers crossed:

I feel bad for the guy but the look on his face while hugging Angela was hilarious!

Leah looked annoyed.

Hopefully Quinn didn’t feel slighted over not getting his interview with Julie. At least he’s said Kangaroo Jack is one of his favorite movies so there’s that at least. He’d also the only hg who will EVER reference Terrance (BB24) and his crock pot video! (I NEVER thought that would be brought up on CBS. Hahaha)

Quinn pulled out his immunity idol.

I didn’t hear anything about the extended interview the hg’s do with Julie. I’m sure he at least got to see his goodbye messages before heading to the jury house.

Looks like he did fine without Julie:

Some Random Tidbits:

I know some of you were looking for Raid after Angela said she was a cockroach last night. Found it! MJ had it spraying for ants…in the kitchen….on the toaster….and a bagel. (Yuck)

A shot of a Thursday watch party for lasts weeks live show in Nashville. Cedric hung out with Cory, America Reilly and Bowie Jane:

This one’s super random and not BB related but I’m excited so I’m including it anyway. My brother was on a TV show that aired this past spring. They recently found out it’s getting a season 2 and filming starts this weekend so shout out to Josh. Congrats!

Chelsie spoke for all of us this week when she’d had enough of the baby talk. She asked a group of hg’s “can you speak like adults please.”

It’s been a couple of hours since I started this and the feeds are still down. If Leah hasn’t won this hoh, she’s probably in some trouble this week. She already was but continuing to give MJ info may have finished off her game. It’s possible Cam and MJ would go after Kimo before Leah/Angela. It’s also possible T’kor, Kimo and Rubina may go after Cam/MJ before Leah/Angela too.

It’s equally possible they all decide not to make waves yet and go for the easier targets of Leah and/or Angela. Every time T’kor brought up going after MJ/Cam, Rubina kept shutting it down. Chelsie also wants Leah out but Cam and MJ may want Kimo first. The results of this week’s hoh will let us know if we get a trio war or alot of Angela and Leah tears.

Have a great weekend everyone!
