We’re less than four weeks into Big Brother 26, but you’d be forgiven if it doesn’t feel like longer. Over less than a month, the houseguests have made and shattered alliances, gotten into a variety of conflicts and arguments, and made moves that blindsided multiple people in the process. And for a season that’s already shaping up to be one for the history books, it only makes sense to bring in three of the previous four winners to talk about it.
Tonight, Big Brother 26 airs a special episode at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT. In it, Season 16 runner-up and Season 22 winner Cody Calafiore, Season 24 winner and fan favorite Taylor Hale, and Season 25 winner and competition record holder Jag Bains sit down to give their thoughts on everything that has happened on the season thus far. According to a press release from CBS, the trio will “enter the BBAI Arena where they will analyze the wildest blow ups, biggest moves and most jaw-dropping moments so far this season.”
The exclusive clip above shows a sneak peek of tonight’s episode, as the three get into the game of current HoH Angela Murray. “It feels a lot like old school Big Brother,” two-time player and former Traitors cast member Cody says. “People aren’t afraid to speak their minds. We have confrontation right off the bat, I’m all for it.” Taylor and Jag agree, uttering Angela’s “This is Big Freakin Brother!” quote when she sat stunned as Tucker Des Lauriers saved her with the veto and Makensy Manbeck used her America’s Veto power.
“I can’t be mad at it,” Taylor says about Angela. “Look, Angela, she wants to play. Do I think it’s the best way to play? Not necessarily.”
“Angela’s in this position,” Cody replies. “She’s the first HoH of the season. You’re on the top of the world. And she still spirals.” Cody has experience being in Angela’s position. In Big Brother 22, he won the first HoH, where he helped set up a majority that ran the game and ended up winning unanimously.
“A classic example of the paranoia that exists in the Big Brother house,” Jag says. “She has the luxury–to her, it was her downfall–of having those cameras in her HoH room. She can see everyone talking, and she can start theorizing who’s working with who. And that can drive anyone crazy.”
Taylor, Jag, and Cody will have a lot to get into, between Angela’s dramatic rant about Matt Hardeman, Tucker’s big plan to backdoor Quinn Martin fizzling, and Quinn rising to power as the “Deepfake HoH” this week. And, while this Tuesday episode plans to look back on the past, it is also firmly focused on the future. According to the press release, “BBAI’s next game-changing surprise will be revealed, and it’s bound to shake things up.”
What does “Ainsley” have up her sleeve, and does that mean the “AI Arena” and three-nominee twist is over? No matter what comes their way, it seems the Big Brother 26 cast will handle it the same way they have everything so far: With chaos.
