Big Brother 26’s Angela Murray started the game in a precarious spot, but a few weeks into the competition, she’s gotten herself into a great position that leaves her potential to win the game wide open. Along with 15 other houseguests, Angela moved into the Big Brother 26 house to play a summerlong competition where power and strategy could win her $750,000. While Angela’s competitive nature has landed her on reality TV competitions in the past, her time on Big Brother was certain to be unlike anything she’s ever participated in before, and has proven to be incredibly unique.
Angela’s initial taste of power left her with a few enemies, including Big Brother 26’s first boot Matt Harderman, second boot Lisa Weintraub, and third boot Kenney Kelley. Though Angela has faced some adversity in the house so far, she’s also seen many of the people working against her leave the game. Working primarily without allies, Angela has been a lone wolf in the game, and though most of the weeks of her Big Brother journey have left her vulnerable for nomination and eviction, she’s the first two-time HOH in the game thus far, leaving her in a great position.
Angela Began The Season In Power, But Got Paranoid
She Called Out Her Allies Publicly
Angela’s early weeks in the Big Brother 26 house were surrounded by her ability to win and the paranoia that followed her coming into power. Angela won the first HOH of the summer, but after learning she had to put three nominees on the block, things got difficult. Angela, who’s been accused of being a BB producer plant in the game, got incredibly paranoid about what was happening in the house around her while she was upstairs in the HOH room. Angela called out Matt in front of the whole house, throwing away her alliance with Quinn Martin & Joseph Rodriguez.

After her week as HOH, Angela found herself sitting on the nomination block when the HOH went to Chelsie Baham. Although she was hopeful that she wouldn’t find herself being voted out of the Big Brother house, when Tucker Des Laureirs saved her from the nomination block with the golden power of veto, she had to fight another week. Although she was a social parriah in the game, Angela was able to find herself safe for the week and with new life in the game.

After her week being pulled off the nomination block, Angela was able to ease herself back into the game despite having very few people to work with. Creating a new alliance with Tucker, Rubina Bernabe, T’Kor Clottey, and Kimo Apaka, Angela was able to get back into the game and utilize her skils to make some major moves. Having a great sense of observation, Angela was able to pick up on alliances and conversations that some others weren’t able to see and help her alliance find themselves on top, rather than being picked off.
Could Angela Win Big Brother 26?
Chances Are Slim, But Not Impossible
Although Angela’s had a tough time during Big Brother 26’s first stretch of competition, it appears that things are changing for the two-time Head Of Household. Angela, whose second HOH reign was taken over by Quinn with his Deefake HOH power, was able to secure herself safety for another week on Big Brother 26 and make a few allies, which means she could ultimately stay in the game. If her alliance is able to stay in power and keep her off the nomination block, Angela could continue on in the game and potentially take the win of Big Brother.
