    During Thursday’s episode of Big Brother , Tucker, Angela , and Makensy faced off in the AI Arena, but before they entered Makensy – whom fans wanted eliminated – masterminded a plan.

    She told her alliances that if she won, they should seize the opportunity to eliminate Tucker, who has won several AI arena competitions this season .

    Makensy managed to pull out a win, and promptly teamed up with other houseguests to send Tucker packing, much to the chagrin of viewers.

    Before the vote, Tucker stood to plead his case to stay in the Big Brother house .

    “I love all you guys dearly. I do not want this to end yet. I still feel like there’s a lot of fun games to be played,” he said.

    His plea ended with, “I feel like I’ve done a lot for a lot of people in this house. I’d really appreciate your votes now.”

    “It’s everybody’s dream to do this and everybody’s dream to win it.”

    Tucker’s showmance, Rubina Bernbe, voted to send villain Angela packing but her best attempt wasn’t enough to save Tucker.

    He was eliminated by a vote of five to three, and fans online were furious.

    As he was saying his goodbyes, Angela assured him, “This house won’t be the same without you, Tucker.”

    He and Rubina shared one final steamy kiss, and he was on his way.

    SHOW’S OVER

    “this is probably one of the most emotional and intense bb evictions ever omg,” one person posted on X.

    “I don’t think I’m gonna be able to handle Rubina crying over Tucker on feeds,” complained a second.

    “So many people swore they would stop watching if Tucker leaves,” noted a third, adding a GIF that featured text that read, “Let’s see what happens.”

    • Jessie Godderz
    • Aaryn Gries
    • Mike Malin
    • Dick Donato
    • Jackson Michie
    • Justin Sebik
    • Paul Abrahamian

    “Ugh Tucker, you were such a fun individual to root for. I don’t care what people say, you made this season! It’s the season of Tucker. Thank you!” posted a sixth.

    “So do we boycott the season now or???” questioned a seventh.

    Others remained hopeful, with one writing, “People acting like the season is over because Tucker is gone.”

    The post included a GIF of President Joe Biden saying, “Will you shut up, man?”

    CAN’T CONNECT

    Fans have had a number of issues throughout this season of Big Brother, with some complaining about schedule changes , raunchy live feeds, and, most recently, not being able to access the feeds at all.

    On August 25, access to the feeds abruptly cut , leaving fans checking in on the houseguests between episodes furious.

    Paramount+ subscribers have access to 24-hour live feeds of the Big Brother house, allowing them to see all the drama and more between episodes.

    Recently, a scandalous moment between two houseguests was caught on camera, leaving some complaining that Big Brother isn’t a family show.

    Then, the feed cut out unexpectedly days later, leading viewers to speculate about the reason.

    Big Brother quickly addressed the glitch on its Instagram Stories, writing, “Hey Big Brother fans! The live feeds may be down longer than usual today for a classic veto competition and as the AI instigator twist continues.”

    “See all the fun and drama play out in this week’s episodes.”

    Despite the announcement, fans speculated that there were other reasons for the feeds being down, with many blaming Leah Peters .

    “This is all speculation. But it’s thought that someone said something inappropriate and that’s why live feed was down for nine hours,” a fan wrote on an online thread dedicated to the show.

    The user said rumors were circulating that that person was Leah, noting that Tucker claimed in a conversation with Rubina that his co-star had previously landed in hot water.

    “The only indication we have that Leah caused the cut feeds is Tucker speculating that Chelsie [Baham] was hurt by something Leah said,” someone else responded.

    “At the time that he said this, Tucker didn’t know either. He was doing the same thing we all are doing right now,” they continued.

    NOT COOL

    Leah has been called out over her unfiltered comments on the show in the past.

    Some slammed her for talking about her feelings for Tucker to Rubina, who is in a romantic relationship with him.

    Fans said it wasn’t right for Leah to discuss that with Rubina, who was open about having a crush on him at the time.

    “Leah talking to Rubina about her feelings for Tucker. Super weird to me because talking to Rubina puts her in a position where she has to be like, ‘yeah girl go for him!!'” bashed one commenter.

    “It’s very embarrassing behavior I must admit. I’m team Leah for fun feeds but this is silly. Her and Tucker haven’t even developed much rapport but I get the sense that she’s just bulldozing Rubina out of the way,” a second wrote.

    “The thing is Leah can not fathom Tucker liking Rubina…” wrote a third.
