Cedric Hodges Becomes HOH in ‘Big Brother’ Season 26 Week 3
In the latest twist on Big Brother Season 26, Cedric Hodges has taken control as the new Head of Household (HOH) for Week 3. Following the surprising eviction of Lisa Weintraub, Cedric’s leadership is already shaping up to be crucial in the game.
Lisa Weintraub, a 33-year-old tech celebrity chef from Los Angeles, was blindsided and sent home in an 11-1 vote. The sole vote to keep her came from Kenney Kelley, who was initially one of the nominees for eviction but managed to save himself with the Power of Veto (POV).
This unexpected eviction has left the house in a state of flux, with alliances being tested and new strategies emerging.
As the new HOH, Cedric nominated Angela Murray, Kenney Kelley, and Tucker Des Lauriers for eviction. Angela and Kenney were clear targets, while Tucker was put up as a pawn. Cedric’s nominations reflect his desire to maintain control and navigate the complex social dynamics within the house.
The POV competition this week is set to be a game-changer. Contestants are competing fiercely to secure their safety or alter the nominations.
The outcome of the POV competition will determine if Cedric’s nominations remain the same or if he will be forced to make new strategic decisions.
Adding to the excitement, CBS has announced a special episode of Big Brother airing on Tuesday, August 13, at 8 p.m. This episode will feature former winners Jag Bains (Season 25), Taylor Hale (Season 23), and Cody Calafiore (Season 22) as they revisit the house to discuss the most dramatic moments and strategic moves of the season. Additionally, a new game-changing twist will be revealed, promising to shake up the competition even further.
