The rivalry between Tucker and Quinn on Big Brother 26 has been heating up for weeks, and Sunday night’s episode saw the ultimate showdown as the two competed against each other in the famous wall challenge.

The episode picks up right after Cedric’s surprise eviction, and Quinn realizes he really screwed up this week, as his ally Cedric was sent home for his not-so-secret HOH.

And speaking of Cedric, we get a little recap of what happened right before the eviction. Brooklyn tells Rubina that the house isn’t keeping her, Brooklyn tells T’Kor that they have to vote Rubina out or they’re screwed, then we see T’Kor and Kimo decide to take the plunge. And then right after the eviction, we see Tucker and Rubina knowing that the votes were Chelsie, Brooklyn and Cam. Rubina says they just gave up their game. And these three, Cam, Chelsie and Brooklyn, meet and realize that they may be on their own now, feeling betrayed by T’Kor, Kimo and Joseph.

And Quinn is mad at T’Kor and Kimo for not even giving him a heads up about the switch.

Everyone is emotional knowing that a HOH competition is coming up, so they know they have to pull themselves together and prepare for it.

And I hope they did, because the time has come! It’s the wall endurance contest. And Tucker has his sights set on Quinn. He lets us know that there’s no way he’s going to lose to Quinn. And Quinn lets us know that his only goal is to beat Tucker.

And the wall competition begins! Angela is out after just 3 minutes. That makes her a non-have for this week. Kimo drops out at 4:57 and is also a non-have.

Joseph decides to throw it away after only 7 minutes. He’s a have-not too. Leah is next out after only 8 minutes. Chelsie follows right after.

T’Kor falls just after 14 minutes. Makensy and Brooklyn both fall after 18 minutes. That leaves Tucker, Rubina, Cam and Quinn.

After 22 minutes, Rubina is out. Now it’s Tucker against Cam and Quinn. And then Cam is eliminated at 28:56.

And poetically, it’s up to Tucker and Quinn. And then Tucker offers Quinn a deal, but Quinn doesn’t take it.

And he should have taken that deal. Because he falls out after 31 minutes, giving Tucker his first win as Head of Household.

During an alliance meeting of the tanks, they invite Joseph into the HOH room and into their alliance. So Tucker, T’Kor, Kimo, Rubina, Angela and Joseph become “Sixth Avenue”.

Tucker and Quinn have a moment. Tucker tells Quinn that he thinks he’s a great competitor and that it’s a shame they ended up on opposite sides because they could have run the game together.

But Tucker also lets Quinn know that Quinn is no longer his biggest threat and target. So he tells Quinn that he will only rise as a pawn. Quinn doesn’t believe it, but Tucker is actually telling him the truth.

So who is his target and who are the potential candidates? He gets so much work testing Brooklyn, Chelsie and Cam. So it sounds like he’s going to go that route – one of those two plus Quinn.

But the real test was whether they would betray each other. Will Brooklyn, Cam or Chelsie betray the others, or are they too close to do so? They failed Tucker’s test.

So let’s get to the nomination ceremony and find out what the Agent of Chaos has in store. Tucker has decided to nominate Quinn, Brooklyn, and Cam. And he lets us know that Brooklyn is his target. He calls her the Queen of the Serpents and says he knows she runs things and gets into people’s heads. And Quinn still thinks he’s the target.
