Big Brother 26 Week 3 Nominations Revealed
For Week 3 of Big Brother 26, Head of Household (HOH) Cedric Hodges has nominated Angela Murray, Kenney Kelley, and Tucker Des Lauriers for eviction. Cedric's decision comes after he won the HOH competition following the second eviction of the season.
Cedric's Target
Cedric has made it clear that Angela is his main target this week. Angela has caused a lot of drama in the house, which has made her a significant target for Cedric. Despite this, Cedric is also considering the possibility of letting Kenney go, as he has repeatedly expressed a desire to leave the game.
Kenney's Situation
Kenney Kelley has made it known that he wants to leave the house. This has made him an easy choice for Cedric’s nominations. However, Kenney's wish to leave might be granted, depending on how the week progresses.
Tucker's Role
Tucker Des Lauriers volunteered to be a pawn on the block. His willingness to go up for eviction has kept him safe so far. Tucker's position as a pawn means he is less likely to be the main target this week.
Power of Veto and Other Competitions
The Power of Veto competition and the BB A.I. Arena competition will be crucial in determining who will be safe. Additionally, Quinn Martin still holds the Deepfake HOH, and Makensy Manbeck has America's Veto. These powers could influence the outcome of the week, especially since they will expire next week.
Angela's Behavior and House Dynamics
Angela has been involved in several arguments and has exhibited bullying behavior, which has made her unpopular among the houseguests. Her actions, such as mocking Lisa and Matt, have caused tension in the house. Cedric's move to target Angela could be seen as a strategic decision to remove a disruptive influence.
Cedric's Strategy
Cedric has been playing a strong game, moving from a powerless position as a mascot in Week 1 to becoming HOH. Despite his past support for Angela during her difficult moments, Cedric now seems ready to part ways with her. The outcome of the week will depend on how the Power of Veto competition plays out and if any other powers are used.
As always in Big Brother, things can change quickly. The houseguests will need to stay on their toes and adapt to the evolving dynamics as they continue to "expect the unexpected."
Big Brother 26
Big Brother 26 is the latest season of the popular American reality TV show, which first started in 1999. This season features a unique artificial intelligence theme, adding a tech twist to the classic format. It premiered on CBS on July 17, 2024, with filming starting a day earlier.

Big Brother 26 Format
Big Brother features a group of contestants, called HouseGuests, living together in a house with cameras and microphones recording everything they do 24/7. They have no contact with the outside world. Each week, HouseGuests compete in a Head of Household (HOH) competition to win safety and the power to nominate two others for eviction. The nominees and three additional HouseGuests compete in the Power of Veto (PoV) competition.
The PoV winner can save a nominee from eviction or leave the nominations as is. On eviction night, the HouseGuests vote to evict one nominee, with the HOH and nominees not allowed to vote. The nominee with the most votes is evicted. The last nine evicted HouseGuests form the Jury, which decides the winner of the season. Viewers can also vote for "America's Favorite HouseGuest."
