Big Brother: Tucker Des Laurier’s Gameplay Isn’t Pure Genius Like He Thinks It Is (SPOILERS)

WARNING! THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS ABOUT BIG BROTHER 26!

Big Brother 26 houseguest Tucker Des Lauriers has been dominating the game, but his gameplay isn’t as genius as he thinks it is for a few reasons. Since Big Brother 26 began, Tucker has been a competition beast and a master of mayhem and chaos. He’s already won one Head of Household (HOH) competition, three Power of Veto competitions in a row, and two BB A.I. Arena competitions. However, it’s his unpredictability that has made him such a dangerous player in the game.

Throughout Big Brother 26, Tucker has been overly confident with his game moves, which has been backed up by his ability to win competitions. He regards himself as the strongest player in the house. However, Tucker’s strategy wouldn’t have been possible without the Big Brother 26 twists that have been introduced during this season.

The BB A.I. Arena Twist Has Allowed Tucker Des Lauriers To Dominate Big Brother 26

Tucker Has Used The BB A.I. Arena Twist To His Advantage

For Big Brother 26, the BB A.I. Arena competition was introduced into the game. This twist allows the HOH to nominate three houseguests for eviction rather than two. After the Power of Veto is played, the three players who remain on the chopping block battle it out in the BB A.I. Arena. The winner is safe, which prevents the HOH from backdooring contestants.

Tucker has used the BB A.I. Arena twist to his advantage throughout Big Brother 26. He’s been so confident about winning the BB A.I. Arena that he even used the Power of Veto to save Angela Murray rather than himself during week 3, in order to try to backdoor Quinn Martin. HOH Cedric Hodges warned him not to do it, but Tucker didn’t listen. He nominated Makensy Manbeck instead, but then she used America’s Veto to save herself. America ended up nominating Quinn, and Tucker won the BB A.I. Arena, but the houseguests voted out Kenney Kelley instead.

Tucker could never have used the strategy of saving Angela with the Power of Veto instead of himself if there were no BB A.I. Arena. There was a good chance that he could’ve been evicted that week if he didn’t have the chance to save himself. Tucker’s gameplay wouldn’t be possible in a traditional Big Brother season.

Tucker Might Be In Trouble This Week

Tucker Has Only One More Chance To Save Himself In The BB A.I. Arena

Tucker loves to play in competitions, and he’s volunteered to be a pawn on three occasions, including this week when T’kor Clottey is HOH. However, Tucker later admitted that he regretted volunteering. She nominated him along with Cam Sullivan-Brown and Makensy Manbeck. After winning the Power of Veto three weeks in a row, Tucker lost the competition this week. Now he’ll have to win the BB A.I. Arena competition to ensure his safety.

When Tucker was HOH, his allies T’kor and Rubina Bernabe were thinking about turning on him and keeping Chelsie Baham in the game against his wishes, but they didn’t have to make that choice because Chelsie won the BB A.I. Arena competition. However, the fact that they considered flipping on him shows that he could be in trouble this week if he doesn’t win the BB A.I. Arena. Also, T’kor, Kimo Apaka, and Joseph Rodriguez had no problem blindsiding Cedric when they thought it could benefit their games, so they could do the same to Tucker.

Tucker’s gameplay is based on his belief that he’s going to win every competition and his reliance on BB A.I. Arena wins to keep himself. He’s worked very well with his back against the wall, (literally when he won the Wall HOH competition), but, as they say, you can’t win them all. If Tucker doesn’t win the week 6 BB A.I. Arena competition this week, the houseguests would be fools not to evict him. If he goes home this week, it will be his own fault for volunteering to be a pawn. Tucker’s strategy isn’t as genius as he thinks it is.
