Big Brother season 26 fans are outraged about the August 13 special episode, which featured Big Brother winners Jag Bains (season 25), Taylor Hale (season 24), and Cody Calafiore (season 22) discussing the season so far, despite the fact that the next twist was introduced. During the latest Big Brother 26 episode, Jag, Taylor, and Cody sat down together to recap the season and give their opinions about what's happened so far. In addition, Big Brother season 26 promised to introduce the next game-changing twist, but it didn't deliver because fans have to wait until Thursday's episode for the details.
"What a waste of an episode tonight! An entire episode of Angela and rehashing her nastiness and paranoia."
In the comments section of a Big Brother Instagram post about the episode, fans expressed their disappointment with its content, including Jag, Taylor, and Cody's failure to fully condemn Angela Murray's bad behavior in the house.
Instagram user @cinshanks1 wrote, "What a waste of an episode tonight! An entire episode of Angela and rehashing her nastiness and paranoia." Many fans felt that the episode was an attempt by CBS to downplay Angela's outrageous actions. Instagram user @courtnniie added, "You’re making us watch a podcast right now and it’s awful…I watched the show, I don’t need this."
What Is The Next Big Brother 26 Twist?
The Episode Only Revealed The Twist's Name
Big Brother 26 fans were also angry that not much was shared about the latest twist in the game, despite the show hyping its reveal. Instagram user @chasegodwin11 wrote, "Love getting baited into watching a recap episode to learn about a twist, and then learn nothing about the twist except the name." The next twist is called the A.I. Instigator, and it will involve America voting. However, Big Brother fans will have to wait until Thursday for the details, which enraged viewers who sat through the whole episode waiting to hear the news.
Though no other details were revealed about the A.I. Instigator, it seems it might be similar to past twists such as America's Player or The Saboteur, in which America will vote for one of the houseguests to fulfill tasks. It'll be interesting to see who America chooses to be the instigator if that's what the twist entails. It's possible that America will choose Angela in order to sabotage her game because so many people have expressed that they're tired of seeing her in the Big Brother house. There have even been accusations that Angela might be a producer plant.
The August 13 Big Brother episode was definitely a waste of time for loyal viewers, but it was nice to see winners Jag, Taylor and Cody back on the show. However, it was very much focused on Angela and her antics, which is getting tiring to watch. While Big Brother delivered on its promise to reveal the next twist, it felt like a cheat because all viewers got was its name. Big Brother 26 has been one of the best seasons so far, but this episode didn't live up to the hype.
Big Brother season 26 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EDT and Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. EDT on CBS.
