BIG Brother fans have been left fuming after the Season 26 houseguests banded together to evict Kenney Kelly.
The Boston, Massachusetts, father of two was on the chopping block along with Quinn Martin, who had been scheming behind his housemates’ backs.
Kenney, Quinn and Tucker Des Lauriers faced off together in the Big Brother AI Arena, as all three were up for elimination during Thursday’s episode of the reality show.
The trio was tasked with grabbing red balls in a sea of multi-colored balls as they floated in the air in small individual chambers.
Tucker quickly took the lead and defeated his competition with ease, marking him safe from elimination.
Kenney and Quinn returned to the house to plead their cases to their housemates, with Kenney seemingly setting himself up for eviction.
“First off, to my lovely wife and kids I love and miss you guys tremendously,” he began.
“To Quinn, I don’t know how you ended up here. … Houseguests, this is a game. I know it’s a game but there’s real emotions in this game. I was a competitor. I came to win, I came to play. … I love all of you, I appreciate all of you. Do what you think is best for the game.”
In the live vote, all but Tucker voted for Kenney to be sent packing, which Big Brother viewers at home coined as a mistake.
“So dumb not to vote out Quinn considering his power,” one fan posted on X, formerly Twitter.
“I believe 100% that Kenney told everyone to vote him out after he returned from the AI Arena,” speculated a second viewer.
“These houseguests are boring af! Evict the good players! Evict Quinn! Gosh!” demanded a third.
“These nimrods really gonna waste a good eviction to get out the guy who literally will walk on his own in a matter of days,” complained a fourth viewer.
