Big Brother 26's Lisa Weintraub Reveals The Houseguests Who Made Her Realize She'd Be Blindsided

As a devoted fan who has been following Big Brother since its inception, I must say that Season 26 continues to surprise and captivate me. Lisa Weintraub‘s eviction was a shocking turn of events, but upon reflection, there were subtle signs that hinted at her impending departure. The nervous glances and telltale body language from Kimo Apaka and T’Kor Clottey were clear indicators that something was amiss.


In Season 26 of “Big Brother,” the first unexpected elimination occurred, leaving Lisa Weintraub caught off guard. Although she was sent home, there were hints suggesting this outcome. The evicted contestant has since revealed to TopMob that she received a subtle warning beforehand. This tip-off came from some anxious fellow Houseguests and their noticeable unease. Furthermore, Weintraub discussed her thoughts as she exited the house and approached Julie Chen Moonves for her final goodbyes.

In our conversation on the Tuesday after Lisa’s removal from the Big Brother house, she disclosed her intentions to catch up on missed episodes and follow the live feeds using a Paramount+ subscription. During our chat, I inquired about any indications that she might be taken by surprise during eviction night. Lisa, who was previously a Houseguest, shared that no one tipped her off before the vote, but her intuition suggested trouble when she noticed unusual behavior from Kimo Apaka and T’Kor Clottey as they all gathered for the vote.

It was just T’Kor and Kimo who appeared anxious, making it evident they were uneasy. They fidgeted with their legs and showed signs of sweaty palms. This suggested that something wasn’t quite right. In that moment, I found myself thinking, ‘Oh my goodness! Am I being dismissed? What’s going on?’

After Lisa was evicted and before Cedric Hodges’ victory as Head of Household in Week 3, the housemates talked about how Lisa was asking questions while votes were being announced. Despite her being unaware of her impending eviction in the days leading up to it, it appeared that during the final vote count, she suspected Angela Murray might not be leaving as they had all agreed earlier. Ironically, Angela gave a heartfelt speech thanking everyone for a second chance and apologizing for the turmoil she caused in previous weeks, believing they had forgiven her. In truth, Lisa was the more skilled competitor, so most housemates felt it was simpler to keep Angela.

Just two individuals within the house remained uninformed about the situation, and it was none other than Kenny Kelley, who claimed the sole veto power in Big Brother Week 2, that voted to expel Angela and Lisa. Despite rumors that she glared menacingly at fellow Houseguests as she left, Lisa maintained that her emotions were not hostile but simply expressed what she felt:

I was taken aback, feeling deeply let down and caught off guard when my fellow Housemates decided to eliminate me unexpectedly that week.

Regarding her plans for watching Big Brother Season 26, Lisa has shared that she needs a brief respite for mental health reasons first. Following this break, though, she’s looking forward to catching up on the show and discovering who among the contestants is vying for the grand prize. I’m equally excited about the outcome, as the A.I. Arena twist has added an exciting dimension to this season of Big Brother, making it one of the most captivating in recent memory. Of course, as the competition progresses, there will inevitably be surprises, just like Lisa and others may experience.

On CBS, “Big Brother” airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), and on Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET. If you want to keep up with the series’ events, TopMob offers frequent updates or you can watch it live on Paramount+ or Pluto TV.
