Evicted Big Brother 26 houseguest Tucker Des Lauriers cheered at a watch party when his rival, Quinn Martin, was evicted from the game over Kimo Apaka. Tucker and Quinn feuded throughout Big Brother 26, but Quinn bested Tucker when he was able to vote him out of the house after Tucker volunteered as a pawn for Head of Household (HOH) T'kor Clottey. Tucker didn't win the Power of Veto or BB A.I. Arena competitions that week, despite being a competition beast for weeks before that, so his fellow houseguests, including Quinn, jumped at the chance to evict him.
"Come on! Let's get Quinn out! Sorry Quinn, I love you, but, ah, ya gotta go!"
In an Instagram post, Tucker shared footage from an outdoor Big Brother 26 watch party with a crowd of people, which he captioned, "Quinn eviction night." Tucker knew from the live feeds that Quinn was nominated for eviction after Makensy Manbeck saved Angela Murray with the Power of Veto. Tucker began the video by saying, "I'm so ready!," in reference to Quinn's eviction. He then revealed that evicted Big Brother 26 houseguests Matt Hardeman and Kenney Kelley were also at the watch party. Tucker and the crowd cheered every time a houseguest voted against Quinn.
As he watched the houseguests cast their votes, Tucker said, "I'm so nervous right now. Come on! Let's get Quinn out! Sorry Quinn, I love you, but, ah, ya gotta go!" When Quinn was finally evicted, Tucker and the crowd cheered, while Tucker shouted, "Quinn's eviction party!" Then he and the crowd sang, "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam. Tucker concluded the video by saying, "Later! I know it's sad though, but also great. Let's go!"
What Quinn Martin’s Eviction Means For Big Brother 26
Quinn Was A Strong Player
As a superfan, Quinn was a strong Big Brother player. He betrayed almost all of his alliances, but he somehow managed to be one of the most-liked houseguests. He was the HOH twice, once when he took over Angela Murray's reign with his Deepfake HOH upgrade power and then a second time. However, during both of his HOHs, one of his allies went home: first Cedric Hodges and then Joseph Rodgriguez.

Now that Quinn is out of the game, there are two clear trios: Cam Sullivan-Brown, Chelsie Baham, and Makensy Manbeck, and Kimo, Rubina Bernabe, and T'kor Clottey. Somewhere in the middle are Leah Peters, Quinn's closest ally, and Angela. It'll be very interesting to see how things shift in the Big Brother 26 house now that Quinn has been evicted.
Our Take On Tucker Des Lauriers’ Reaction To Quinn’s Eviction
Tucker Didn't Have To Make Such A Scene
Although Tucker's video celebrating Quinn's eviction could be seen as funny, it also makes him look like a bit of a sore loser. He's out of the game now, with no say in who wins as a jury member, so he really shouldn't hold any grudge against Quinn. However, Tucker was the BB A.I. Instigator, and instigating seems to be what he does best. He did say that he loved Quinn though, but he also had an entire crowd of people rooting against him publicly. However, knowing Quinn, he'd probably think that Tucker's video was hilarious.
As Big Brother 26 moves forward, it's already lost two of its most exciting players: Tucker and Quinn. They definitely made an impact on the game, and it would be thrilling to see them return to play again in a future season. Of course, Quinn's game might not really be over, as there hasn't been a Battle Back yet in Big Brother 26. Therefore, everyone should continue to "expect the unexpected."
