WARNING! THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS ABOUT BIG BROTHER 26!
The Big Brother 26 week 9 Power of Veto competition has been played, and it came with a twist, as Angela Murray won the Golden Power of Veto, and Head of Household (HOH) Leah Peters won the Jankie Power of Veto. Leah won the Big Brother 26 HOH competition, but she didn't receive her HOH room because the houseguests have been living in the backyard since the Thursday's live eviction episode. Ainsley left the houseguests with Jankie, another A.I. entity, and they've been living in Jankie World ever since.
The Big Brother 26 live feeds have revealed that Angela won the Golden Power of Veto, while HOH Leah won the Jankie Power of Veto. The Power of Veto competition players were HOH Leah, her nominees Kimo Apaka and Rubina Bernabe, and Angela, Chelsie Baham, and T'kor Clottey, who were chosen by random draw. The only houseguests who didn't play were Cam Sullivan-Brown and Makensy Manbeck. Leah's intention with her nominations was to break up the trio of Kimo, Rubina, and T'kor, and she'd planned to use T'kor as a replacement nominee if necessary.
What Angela Murray & Leah Peters Winning The Week 9 Power Of Veto Competition Means For Big Brother 26
Leah Is HOH & Angela Has Been Her Ally
It's still unclear what the Jankie Power of Veto does. However, "janky" means that something is of poor or unreliable quality, which is what Jankie World seems to be considering that the houseguests are living outside for the week. Therefore, it's possible that Leah's veto isn't as powerful as Angela's. Whatever happens next, Angela has secured her safety for the week by winning the Golden Power of Veto, which is a big change for her after being nominated five times (in weeks 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8).
Although anything is possible, it's likely that Angela won't use the Golden Power of Veto on either Kimo or Rubina, and that Leah will also keep her nominations the same. Leah's goal was to break up the trio, so there's no reason for her to get any more blood on her hands by changing anything. If Angela chooses not to use the Power of Veto, it'll be the first time this season that the veto isn't used.
Our Take On The Big Brother 26 Week 9 Power Of Veto Competition Results
Big Brother 26 Is The Definition Of "Expect The Unexpected"
Big Brother 26 has lived up to the show's motto of "expect the unexpected." It's very exciting that the new Jankie Power of Veto is in play, and it'll be thrilling to see exactly what it does. It's also nice to see that Angela has secured her own safety after being saved with the Power of Veto three times by other houseguests, including Tucker Des Lauriers, Leah, and Makensy. It's also fantastic that Leah has now won her second Power of Veto competition and is also HOH, after she spent the first half of the game flying under the radar.
Big Brother 26 has been a wild ride so far, and the twists just keep coming. In addition, Leah is setting herself up to make it very far in the game by weakening the trio of Kimo, Rubina, and T'kor, and working with the other trio of Chelsie, Cam, and Makensy. It'll be interesting to see if either Kimo or Rubina is evicted and becomes the second member of the Big Brother 26 jury. I can't wait to see if the Jankie Power of Veto will change the game.
