‘Big Brother’ Sneak Peek: Brooklyn Rivera Tries to Mastermind Tucker Des Lauriers’ Eviction (VIDEO)

Well well well. Looks like Kenney Kelley was onto something when he claimed that the person who’s really running the show on Big Brother 26 is Brooklyn Rivera. Exhibit A: TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek (embedded above) of Wednesday (August 14) night’s new episode.

In the clip, Brooklyn quietly schemes with Quinn Martin and Cedric Hodges, suggesting that if Cedric could win the Power of Veto, he should nominate Rubina for eviction as a way to potentially get out Tucker Des Lauriers, whom she’s developed a romantic connection with in the house.

“Say Cedric wins, pulls himself off [the chopping block]. You put up Rubina. I think he would even throw it and not win because he wouldn’t want her to potentially go home,” Brooklyn whispers to Quinn and a nodding Cedric.

“I love Rubina, and I don’t want her to go home this week, but she just might have to be bait,” she then explains in a confessional to audiences. “Because I think if Rubina is sitting next to Tucker on eviction night, he won’t try to win the AI arena. This might be the perfect way to get the strongest player out of this game.”

Those who’ve been tracking the live feeds will know that what they say about “best laid plans” is absolutely true, so tune in to see how this plays out Wednesday night at 8/7c on CBS.
