One remaining head of household is bested for Big Brother 26 before having to make a $750,000 decision and evict one of the other two remaining houseguests – did Cam, Chelsie or Makensy get the remaining power and make the right choice?
After staying true to their alliance throughout the second half of the season, there was nowhere else to cover for Cam, Chelsie, and Makensy. The only people they focused on were each other. And I just thought one of them would win Big Brother 26.
But first, it was considered that one of them would like to emerge with the final energy of the week, and that will require three rounds of competition to perform. Once the final head of the family is defeated, the final choice they will have to make occurs. Who to take to the top?

This is how we noticed the choices as they were presented at the end:
Camera – For Cam to have any chance in this sport, he wanted to first beat the remaining Head of Household. So, he had to cut Chelsie because his total game was in her shadow. Furthermore, he would need a strong argument to overcome Makensy’s powerful play that helped him reach the top. In other words, he had almost no chance of winning, but he could fight his way into second place.
Chelsie – If she could reach the top, whether by succeeding or being carried, she would have the best path to victory. Her journey was a season of manipulation and control, orchestrating the season behind the scenes when she didn’t have the energy and expending energy four times as Head of Household to resolve issues immediately. She manipulated Makensy into learning her personal sport, using the beast as her personal lackey. She’s a keynote speaker, so all she wanted was an opportunity to speak. If she were to get power, though, we wouldn’t be surprised if she demoted Makensy to make her victory even more assured.
Makensy – The coolest thing Makensy could have done would be to turn beast, win Final Breadwinner, and then cut off the snake’s head, sending Chelsie to the jury house. She could then argue that she only used the mentor to protect her (since she couldn’t win every little thing) as desired and then release her when she no longer wants it. She could make that argument alongside Chelsie and add that loyalty aspect, but it would be much harder to convince this jury that she had more overall game than Chelsie. She earned her way here, she needed to go out with a wise dump in the last quarter.

“My left hand”
When we dropped guests off at Round 1 of the Last Householder, they were hoping for an expensive life in a version of the Wall, only this one required hand, core, and leg strength to stay inside their harness machine while confronting the floor.
Makensy soon began complaining that she perhaps couldn’t feel her left hand and eventually this cost her the game, with the athlete coming out on top among the competition.
With a chance for his second overall win, Cam was moving forward as best he could. Unfortunately, he had to accept yet another second-place finish as he crashed out and booked Chelsie’s place in the final round of the game, which took place live on Sunday night.
This put players in line for Round 2, which was a cheesy competition where they had to rotate poles to line up a monitor and remove three pieces from them. Then arrange 9 “energy cords” of different lengths to destroy Ainsley’s mind. That’s right, it’s about destroying the season’s evil AI.
In fact, Ainsley didn’t do much after she turned evil. We really thought she was going to torture the Houseguests after her turn, but that’s not what happened. Hell, JANKIE was a lot more torturous that week they were locked out in the open!

Although we got some comments from Cam about how he wanted this win to be a big move and how close it was…it wasn’t even close!
He was still turning pillars to try and find his way while Makensy finished aligning all nine power cables. This was a disastrous performance for the elite athlete, ending a horrible season that he admitted after it was over was very humiliating for him.
Now, his fate was not in his hands. Fortunately for him, his poor performance all season and his general ineffectiveness as a Big Brother participant, make him an important candidate to stay in the remaining 2 and guarantee that big victory.
The third and final round of competition took place during Sunday’s two-hour final broadcast, with Chelsie and Makensy facing off in six rounds of questions and answers about very specific details about the jury’s time in the house.
Remarkably, they were tied in the sixth round, having given the same answer (out of three) in every round and getting it right every time. In the final round, you can hear the spectators gasp as they finally gave different answers.
Ultimately, Makensy was caught by her loyalty mantra (which will not have been reciprocated), staying true to her character and making the ending much more aggressive for herself. By choosing to sit next to Chelsie and kick Cam out, she gave herself an uphill battle to win and didn’t have much time to develop her technique.
And Makensy won the remaining HOH, bringing her win total to 11 (or 12 if you count Elements 2 and Three individually). Either way, it’s an incredible run that gave you unique energy to control how your game ended.
Could Cam convince her that she was worth taking, when everyone knows he wouldn’t have taken her to the top? Chelsie might, when we’re pretty sure she wouldn’t have taken it. Chelsie was quite confident that she could win against both of her opponents, but Makensy was definitely the tougher choice. This may depend on who can present a more convincing argument – the pastor or the athlete.

“She deserves to be number two”
In the final count, the jury definitely seemed to think that Chelsie was the most deserving winner. And although live feeders heard Chelsie tell Makensy repeatedly that she hadn’t even thought about what she was going to say, “you ma’am” was clearly a lie.
She was as eloquent as expected, while at the same time seeming almost arrogant in her self-confidence. She didn’t fully own up to her dishonesty in the game, but she did perfectly own up to even what Makensy claimed was her biggest move (getting Leah out of there).
Makensy argued that it was the biggest move she had made on her own, while Chelsie argued that she manipulated Makensy into eliminating someone who would have disrupted her own street game. Both questions may be true, but Chelse’s statement mostly negated Makensy’s argument.
The uphill battle was much worse than we thought for Makensy, who was in no position to articulate why he had a robust sport. Chelsie practiced over and over how she broke the game, controlled the other players, won when she “had to,” not because she wanted to.
Makensy may have argued that she allowed Chelsie to feel like she was loyal and flexible because she knew she would be weak when she wasn’t eligible to compete, so she wanted someone who could win and would never put her over. . Seeing that Chelsie needed to play this mastermind sport, she might have argued, her smartest decision was to have Chelsie protect her when she couldn’t.
She might have argued that her back was again against the wall for much of the season, and Chelsie was only at risk in the middle half. She may have discussed a number of issues, but even she admitted that she’s not as eloquent a speaker as Chelsie.
After overcoming one problem after another all season to get to the top, Makensy couldn’t overcome what she created for herself – arguing against a prolific manipulator, liar and public speaker. This could not be achieved, and so it was achieved.

“No. Not really.
In a landslide and unanimous victory, Chelsie took home the $750,000 prize. And so, for the first time in a franchise, America’s Favorite Contestant came down to Angela, Quinn and Tucker – and for the first time, a pre-jury contestant won.
Tucker took home the $50,000 prize and beat the woman. Secondly, it wasn’t exactly a proposal from Swaggy C, but he gave Rubina flowers and apologized for revealing his relationship as Quinn’s AI Avatar. It looks like this couple is going to give it a try outside of the house.
The same could be possible for Makensy and Matt, who agreed that a “dialogue” was available after their 10 days of flirtation together in the House.
Speaking of Matt, he commented that when watching the Live Feeds, he felt that perhaps Angela wanted to move on from the feud, but she ended it quite aggressively.
“I noticed on the live feeds that you were wondering if I was going to give you a hug or not,” Matt said, to which Angela responded, “No. Not likely.
But this is also the woman who said she was just playing when she lost her mind on the charcuterie board and lied at another point about negative emotions. She may also be being sarcastic.

Although she accepted the hug, which was as awkward as advertised, she made it clear that she stands by everything he said while he was in the House. Poor Angela still hasn’t seen how she was found outside the house. Although she was ranked third in America’s favorite category, she was also a very, very polarizing contestant in some of her habits.
Julie Chen ended the show with the statement that she would be back next summer for a twenty-seventh season. We’re not sure if we’ll get another season of returning players, but they’re definitely building a pretty strong roster of players that would be fun to watch again in later years.
This season alone has provided some great personalities that would be fun to see again. Angela is undoubtedly one of them, as are the other two America’s Favorite finalists, Quinn and Tucker. Makensy and Chelsie, clearly.
We also thought there were more interesting perspectives with Cedric, who didn’t have nearly enough time in the House, as well as T’kor’s quiet approach to the game (who had full control for a while at the center – if only his side had guarded someone who could win).
We’re sure some of them will probably be back at some unspecified time in the future for one more shot at the big prize. Until then, we will start hypothesizing about some kind of mid-season race (unlikely) and wait for the return of Big Brother subsequent summer season.
