Season 26 of Big brother Tucker has brought a level of excitement back to the game that we haven’t seen in a while. Tucker is a fan favorite thanks to his swagger, which he backs up with winning tournaments, and his desire to cause chaos, albeit in a way that actually makes sense. All of his moves up to this point have worked, but that’s largely due to the others who have helped him along the way.
Quiet players conspire in the background, cast aside by guests and fans as “living”. This is the name given to players who sit motionless in the background and “float” all the way to the end. But some of this season's “optimists” are planning behind the scenes. In a way that makes them more active than others in the past seasons.
Big Brother 26: Kimo and Takur Game
An instant bond was formed between Takur and Kimo when they entered the house and they immediately struck a final deal.They were immediately considered floaters compared to the more aggressive and vocal players. These guys, like Quinn, Tucker, Brooklyn, and Chelsea, had called them into their alliances for one reason only: to increase numbers. But Quinn, who initially seemed like a top-tier player, made the fatal mistake of informing Tucker and Kimo that there was another alliance that included everyone in that group except them. This alerted the duo that they were at the bottom of the totem pole.
The typical strategy of someone who realizes this is to keep floating. Even if someone is at the bottom, they are still part of the conversation anyway, right? Some have also flipped to the other side of the house, taking an angry stance just to be at the bottom of another alliance. The dominant side of the house usually continues to win anyway, and they become collateral damage in the process.
This was not the case with Takur and Kimo. They secretly decided not to officially join another side of the house (at least not right away) but to make their stances known in a shocking way by voting out an alliance member. They first checked the numbers, then stunned the HouseGuests when the vote count was read, and Cedric was sent home. HouseGuests like Brooklyn, who were previously cocky, believing they were telling Kimo and Takur like it was and not the other way around, quickly realized that they did not have the power they thought they did. Kimo and T-Kore were not willing to do what they were asked to do..
This move proved that the duo had the guts to take on an alliance of dominant and popular players. It made these players part of the minority in a complete power coup. They were unable to rally and regroup because the person who had won all the competitions, Tucker, was not on their side. All it took was a small friendly chat with Tukur and Kemo, and a new alliance was formed featuring underdogs like Tukur, Kemo, Rubina, Joseph, and the fiercest competitor in the house, Tucker. People may make fun of Kemo and Tukur for sleeping and relaxing too much. But They're a tight-knit duo who seem to skate by without anyone realizing how dangerous they are.This is because they are both very lovable people, and arguably play the best social games in the house.
Kimo's game is similar to Andy Herrin's game in season 15
Kimo's admiration for Toker leads to the revelation of information that ignites Toker's fire and nearly ends the game of Quinn, who happens to be Kimo's close ally. Whether intended or not, it works to Kimo's advantage from a personal game standpoint. Now, The best competitor in the house will always be in Dean Kimo. It was Kimo who told Tucker the truth about not one alliance but multiple alliances. Furthermore, Tucker used this information to nominate the people he wanted and eventually expel them, blowing up all the alliances in the house. No one ever suspected that Kimo was the one who told Tucker. Instead, he set a target on Quinn, who had become the bottom of many of his alliances. It was a brilliant plan, even if it wasn’t part of what Kimo was trying to do.
Even when host Julie Chen revealed to Brooklyn during the exit interview that Kimo was the one who revealed the secret, Brooklyn didn’t seem surprised. But she also didn’t seem angry or threatened, even though Kimo was effectively responsible for blowing her entire game. If Kimo’s game could be compared to any other, it would be Season 15 winner Andy Herrin. Many people felt he didn’t deserve to win because he had been floating in the background all summer. But he eventually made big moves, planting seeds, flipping sides, and playing a subtle but effective game.
Will Kimo become the underdog to win? Fans will certainly not be excited to see this result given the presence of more interesting players, such as Tucker, Chelsea, McKenzie and Quinn, who deserve to win more than anyone else. However, the fact that Kimo hasn’t had to sit on the hot seat to make any moves so far is quietly helping to shift the background vote, and that’s not something to be taken lightly.
T-Core is a quiet killer like Derek.
After proving everyone wrong in their belief that she would just float in the background, Takur wins the Head of Household competition in a season that seems to be more focused on quiz-based competitions than ever before. As the mastermind behind the operation between her and Kimo, she is loved by everyone, many of whom underestimate her. Her social game is amazing, and she has been controlling the votes without people even realizing it..
It’s like she’s using Tucker as her muscle while he feels like he’s calling the shots. Sound familiar? That’s the strategy used by Derek, the Season 16 winner who is considered by many to be one of the best, if not the best, players to ever play the game. He wasn’t making a fuss either. He was quietly pulling the strings while Cody did all the competition work. And while Tucker couldn’t do what she wanted to do without Tucker winning, she also proved with this win that she could contribute to the competition side as well.
Since no one really knew where T'Kor's loyalties lay, she put herself in a better position. Makensy commented after the competition that everyone in the house was following T'Kor around like lost puppies. When a player is considered floating and wins, everyone wants to get his approval.As one of her true allies, Robina, tells her, T-Core might use this to her advantage by getting them to reveal information about her. They'll throw each other under the bus while she sits back and tries to win.
The reason why Tucker chose to leave Tucker was probably due to a discussion between them where he offered to play and win again. If Tucker went home, the move would backfire, and Tucker would lose her leadership position. But if it worked, it was worth the risk and something to add to her resume.
Who is the best player in Big Brother?
It's easy to pinpoint Tucker as the player with the best home run performance.He’s made bold moves, blew up alliances, and looked invincible in competitions. But that also puts a huge target on his back. If he loses a competition – and it’s hard to imagine him going undefeated all season – it’ll be very tempting not to vote him out.
His power as an AI instigator, granted to him by America’s votes, gives Tucker opportunities to cause more trouble. But Tucker has enemies, and even his allies will be forced to turn on him once it becomes clear that his resume is too overblown to allow him to make the finals. McKenzie is a fierce competitor but has no formal alliances at home. As a competitive soccer player, fans expected more from Cam, but he has not delivered what he promised. His main ally, Chelsea, is arguably the most dangerous player in the game. While playing one of the best games, with her closest ally Brooklyn gone and her alliance crumbling, she will need to claw her way back with another win.
The ending with Quinn and Tucker would be the best option, as they were fierce rivals from the beginning, but their feud seems to have ended since then (although Quinn has made it clear that he still has Tucker on his side, which could reignite their rivalry if he wins the Head of Household title in the future). They are leading each other in the game, and as long as Quinn can continue to retreat to the background for now in the hope that everyone will forget that he is a mental and physical threat, he can make a comeback.
However, Takur and Kimo sit in the most comfortable position.They don’t have any enemies in the house. No one is targeting them because both sides need their votes, at least for now. They’re not overtly linked to anyone, and if nothing else, T’Kor’s nomination of Tucker for eviction this week hides the fact that the two are in a FriendZZZ alliance together. Would a final two involving T’Kor and Kimo, or even either of them, be considered exciting? Probably not. Fans love to see vocal competitive monsters and outspoken strategists win the game.
But Tucker could be the Derek to Cody Tucker. Will Tucker get more votes than Tucker if they are the final two? That really depends on what happens between now and then and how bitter the jury is. But if nothing else, fans should consider her one to watch. Since Cedric was voted out, Tucker and Kimo have effectively been in control. Their reign may not last. But for now, they hold all the cards. And if others aren’t careful, one (or both) could make it to the end. Watch new episodes of Big brother On CBS and available to watch on Paramount+.
