Big Brother 26 Is Headed Into Week 6, And I'm Shocked By Two Big Things

As a seasoned Big Brother fan, I must confess my excitement has been palpable during this 26th season. The game is thriving like never before, thanks to intriguing houseguests and captivating twists that keep us on our toes.


☢️ Caution: The following may reveal spoilers for the Big Brother Season 26 episode that was broadcasted on Thursday, August 22nd. To watch this live or catch up later, you’ll need a subscription to Paramount+ or tune in via Pluto TV. Proceed with reading at your own peril!

Tucker Des Lauriers Week 5 Head of Household week is at a close, and he got his target in the end. As expected, Brooklyn Rivera was sent out the door, and Big Brother 26 is rolling along into Week 6. Julie Chen Moonves made a few announcements as usual to give viewers an idea of what’s ahead, and I’m surprised by one thing she did say and something she didn’t say.

While catching up with “Big Brother” live broadcasts during Week 6, it’s clear that things are taking an unexpected turn. Given the deviations from previous seasons, it’s hard not to ponder over the possible causes behind these changes.

The A.I. Arena Will Continue Into Week 6

As a gamer, I was under the impression that the A.I. Arena would shut down this week, considering all the buzz online about it. Yet, with the introduction of the A.I. Instigator twist, I assumed we’d see the end of the previous twist. However, it appears that’s not how things are unfolding.

I’m not necessarily mad about this, as there have been worse twists in Big Brother, and the A.I. Arena has done a lot to improve the game. That said, I do feel a bit suspicious about the timing considering Tucker is unable to play for the Head of Household this week. Keeping the A.I. Arena just one more week than expected gives him another fighting chance to stay in the game. I’m not saying the production did that because he’s at risk at being backdoored this week, but I can’t rule it out as a possibility. I will say that if this twist goes too much further into the season, they might as well hand him the prize money now.

We Still Have No Idea When The Double Eviction Is Happening

Normally, Big Brother would pull off a double eviction by Week 6, but this year might be different due to the challenging A.I. Arena setup. It seems like they might postpone it until later in the season, after we’ve wrapped up the twist and the competition calendar settles down a bit.

At present, everything seems fine with that situation. The current Big Brother cast is doing exceptionally well, which means we don’t need to hastily evict anyone from the house just yet, as the game is progressing smoothly. This season, in particular, is compensating for some not-so-great moments from earlier seasons and I genuinely hope it marks a new beginning for the show. If late double evictions are a necessary consequence of this promising start, then so be it.
