On the way to the 36th episode of “Big Brother 26” Kimo Apaka had just been ousted by a 2-0 vote Rubina Bernabe.

10:00 p.m – “Previously on 'Big Brother'!” In the 35th episode, the Final 5 players fought for the veto in the classic “BB Comics” challenge. Makensy won power and chose not to use it to save either of her two candidates. Meanwhile, everyone suspected that Cam was hosting competitions, an accusation he strongly denied. By the end of the two-hour episode, we had reached out to the jury (Leah might have a crush on Quinn!) and then Kimo was kicked out. The Hawaiian houseguest told Julie during his farewell interview, “I wanted to win this game.” Four players remain. Who will win HOH tonight? Let's go!

10:03 p.m – Kimo's eviction was a semi-surprise for Makensy, who wasn't sure whether Chelsie and Cam would follow through on their goal of eliminating him. Ultimately, Cam concluded that Kimo was better in one-on-one fights and it was in his best interest to face Rubina instead in the future. His only concern was how close the three remaining women might be and whether they would choose the final three ahead of him.

10:05 p.m – Knowing that she couldn't compete for HOH this week, Makensy had to continue to play against both sides by making Rubina believe that Makensy wanted all three women in the end, while at the same time making Cam and Chelsie believe that it was her would be three.

10:11 p.m – For the next HOH competition, the three eligible players competed in “Hid Agenda,” a multiple-choice quiz to find hidden phrases in source code representations. Rubina was the fastest with the correct answer in round one. Cam was fastest on lap two. Rubina was the fastest in lap three. Chelsie was fastest in round four because Cam came in before him with the wrong answer. Chelsie then made the next two in a row, finishing with a total of three. Cam took the final point in the seventh round, making it a 3-2-2 score that gave Chelsie the win.

10:24 p.m – Cam was frustrated that he couldn't get a win this time because he was hoping to set himself up for a good run before the finale. When Chelsie gave him the idea of ​​nominating him to make it seem like they weren't such a strong couple, he agreed. Everyone knew that the original nominations were “just placeholders” anyway, because the veto decides who gets taken off the block and gets the sole vote for eviction. He told Chelsie that he would “send Makensy home if he won the veto.”

10:26 p.m – Chelsie also asked Rubina if it was okay for her to go on the block and they discussed leaving her out since she's been up there so much lately. She also shared that Cam said he would attack Makensy if he won the Veto. If Chelsie wanted to nominate her, it was no problem for Makensy to go on the block, especially because Chelsie had said she would use it against Makensy if she won the veto.

10:35 p.m – At the nomination ceremony, Chelsie announced her decision to put Cam and Makensy on the slate. She explained that the fate of the week rested in the hands of the veto holder and they would decide the final outcome of the week.

10:44 p.m – Next, the four HouseGuests competed in the Passcode Protectors Veto Contest, a race to answer the most correct questions about specific events in the game. Players were eliminated because they were the last to enter an answer and only had three hits to save them. Once three players are eliminated, the remaining player becomes the veto winner.

10:47 p.m – Makensy was slowest in the first question and received a strike. Chelsie was slowest in the second and third questions, scoring twice. Rubina was slowest in the fourth question and earned her first hit. Makensy was slowest in the fifth question and earned her second hit. Rubina got her second hit in the sixth question. Cam got his first hit in the seventh question. The eighth question is when Rubina fell unconscious with her third blow.

10:55 p.m – With Rubina out of the running, Chelsie planned to quit the competition so that either Cam or Makensy would have blood on their hands this week by using the veto. She was eliminated in the ninth round. At this point, another punch would eliminate Makensy while Cam still had two chances. Makensy was able to secure the correct answer to the next question quicker than Cam and asked one final question that would determine the winner. However, we won't see the result until Thursday's live eviction episode.
