Makensy Wins Power of Veto as Big Brother 26 Nears Finale

October 4, 2024 – Chelsie Baham has once again secured her place in the finale of Big Brother Season 26, having won the Head of Household competition. Joining her is Makensy Manbeck, who clinched her spot in the final three by winning the Power of Veto (POV) challenge, placing significant influence in her hands over the week’s events.

As fans of the show will know, the Power of Veto holds immense power in the Big Brother house. This week’s win allowed Makensy to save herself from being eliminated, having been put on the eviction block by Chelsie alongside Cam Sullivan-Brown.

With Makensy’s victory, she held the sole vote to decide who would join the jury and who would move one step closer to potentially winning the elusive $500,000 grand prize. Speaking during a conversation in the backyard, Makensy expressed concern over leaving Cam in the competition. “There could be a super physical [competition] and I don’t doubt he would win that,” Makensy commented.

Chelsie, however, doubted a physical challenge would be forthcoming, stating, “I still feel confident beating either Cam or Rubina.” The uncertainty surrounding Cam’s potential rise in upcoming challenges weighed heavily on Makensy’s mind as she considered her options.

Tension reached its peak when Makensy used her Power of Veto to remove herself from the eviction block, resulting in Rubina Bernabe replacing her as the next logical option for Chelsie. Ultimately, in a decisive move, Makensy cast the singular, decisive vote that evicted Rubina, sending her to join the Jury House.

The finale will see Chelsie, Makensy, and Cam fight for the top spot, with evicted houseguests including Rubina, Quinn, T’kor, Leah, Angela, and Kimo, who will form the jury responsible for deciding the ultimate winner. The suspense continues as fans await the next episode, keeping a close eye on strategic moves within the Big Brother house.
