Leah Peters evicted in blindside
Thursday night was the Double Eviction for Big Brother 26. This is a fan and houseguest favorite. Although for houseguests it adds a bit more stress to an already stressful and tiring game.
Leah Peters
Leah was evicted by a vote of 4-0. This was the first unanimous vote of the season.
During week one she became close to Makensy and Matt. Unfortunately Matt became a target of the first HOH Angela, leading him to be the first evicted of the season. This left Makensy and Leah on an island drawing them closer to each other.
Leah developed two close allies in Joseph and Quinn. Both houseguests had a crush on her; but Leah was there to play Big Brother not get in a showmance. She quickly friend zoned them both but did admit in a DR she had feelings for Quinn.
During Quinn’s second HOH she used the VETO on Angela. This drew the two closer, Angela and Leah formed a final 2 deal calling themselves ‘The Lorraines’ as both had that middle name.
During ‘JANKIE WORLD’ Leah became the HOH. She kept closest allies Angela and Makensy safe. She targeted the trio of Kimo, Rubina and T’Kor. This sent T’Kor to jury with Quinn.
Leah Peters on Makensy’s HOH
With Makensy winning HOH Leah felt relatively safe. Leah figured as they became close during week one and her keeping Makensy safe during her HOH; MJ would reciprocate. Chelsie had different ideas, seeing Leah as someone who could win, she needed her gone.
With Makensy holding both HOH and Veto, Chelsie worked her magic creating doubt between MJ and Leah. Leah became the replacement nominee after MJ removed Kimo from the block.
Leah took this move hard and she saw it as a betrayal. She talked with Makensy saying “I would never have targeted you.” Makensy told her she heard things. The once close allies talked but it was too little too late.
In her post eviction interviews Leah sat down to discuss her time in the Big Brother House. Here is some of what she had to say:
On how she sees Makensy’s game going forward “I see her game as shaky. If she stays loyal to the person she is aligned with now, she is playing for second place.” Leah stated.
On Targeting a Trio
On targeting the trio Kimo, Rubina and T’Kor over the trio Chelsie, Cam and Makensy during her HOH, Leah stated “I believe if I changed everything the result still would have been the same.”
Adding it is easy to say ‘If I did this one thing I would have lasted until the end.’ Leah does not regret any moves she made while playing the game. She stated “I have no regrets at all.”
On her relationship with Quinn; Leah states “I appreciated that he always took the time to understand me.” She looks forward to nurturing their relationship outside the Big Brother House.
Wanting to play a loyal and honest game Leah ended her interview with “I would have been honored to sit in the Final 2 chairs with either Makensy or Chelsie.” What do you think of what she had to say?
