WARNING! THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS ABOUT BIG BROTHER 26!The Big Brother season 26 week 9 Head of Household (HOH) competition has occurred, and its winner is Leah Peters. Leah won the HOH competition after losing her number one ally in the Big Brother season 26 house, Quinn Martin, when he was evicted by a vote of 4 to 2 over Kimo Apaka. Quinn had a crush on Leah, who admitted that she might have a crush on him too. After Quinn exited the house, Ainsley announced that she'd be leaving the houseguests for a while, and a junior artificial neurokinetic intelligence entity (Jankie) would be taking her place.
The Big Brother 26 live feeds have revealed that Leah Peters won the week 9 HOH competition.
The Big Brother 26 live feeds have revealed that Leah won the week 9 HOH competition. The feeds were down for nearly 20 hours after the live eviction episode. The HOH competition seems to have been an endurance one, based on Leah's comment that she couldn't believe that she won an athletic competition and how long the feeds were down.
When the Big Brother 26 live feeds returned, it appeared that the houseguests were camped out outside in the backyard, which was set up with a carnival called Jankie World. Instead of asking who wanted to see her HOH room, Leah asked who wanted to see her HOH basket, which supports the theory that the houseguests are staying outside for the moment. The houseguests also had duffle bags outside with them.
What The Week 9 HOH Results Mean For Big Brother 26
Leah Has Some Big Decisions To Make
Leah was seen on the feeds saying that she was going to sleep for a couple of hours but would have one-on-one conversations with whoever was awake when she woke up, so it's not yet known what her plans are for nominations. The houseguests were presumably up all night due to the competition. Leah's number one ally in the game, Quinn, was already evicted, so it seems that any of the remaining houseguests–Kimo, Rubina Bernabe, T'kor Clottey, Cam Sullivan-Brown, Chelsie Baham, Makensy Manbeck, or Angela Murray–could be possible nominees for Leah.
Although Leah saved Angela with the Power of Veto during week 7, and they seem to have a strong friendship, she was very disappointed when Chelsie informed her that Angela had thrown her under the bus. Angela asked Chelsie to remind her of what she said. Then she stated that Chelsie twisted her words.
If Leah wants to play it safe, she should target Angela. The other houseguests want her out of the game sooner than later. However, Leah could also choose to try to break up one of the trios–either Cam, Chelsie, and Makensy, or Kimo, T'kor, and Rubina, the latter of which is especially strong.
Our Take On Big Brother Week 9 HOH Results
Expect The Unexpected On Big Brother 26
Leah has shown herself to be a fearless player, who's willing to do what's right for her own game. When she saved Angela with the Power of Veto because she wanted to ensure that Angela was on the jury since she thought she'd have her vote, she proved that she wasn't going to let anyone control her, even her ally Quinn who was the HOH. Leah might've been under-the-radar for the first half of the game, but she's becoming a force to be reckoned with in the second. I'd love to see her win Big Brother 26.
