After T’kor’s strategic oversight inadvertently sent Tucker home, Rubina stayed loyal to her and Kimo for the rest of the game, but this caused others to turn on the trio as the numbers dwindled for being a powerful voting bloc that would never turn on each other. Eventually outlasting all of her allies, Rubina managed to reach the final four but found herself to be an outsider among the remaining houseguests.†She wound up being the 6th member of the Jury for BB26. as for her relationship status with Tucker, Wikipedia reported, “their relationship after the show.
