Big Brother Season 26 Jury Speaks Out (Exclusive)

Quinn, T’Kor, Leah, Angela, Kimo, and Rubina answer our burning questions ahead of the finale.

Chelsie Baham, Makensy Manbek, and Cam Sullivan-Brown have made it to the Big Brother season 26 finale, with one of them set to claim the $750,000 prize. However, before a winner is announced, the final two must face questions from the jury, made up of former houseguests they evicted along the way. As always, Entertainment Weekly turns the tables and gets the jury’s thoughts before they make their big decision.

We posed our questions to jury members Quinn Martin, T’Kor Clottey, Leah Peters, Angela Murray, Kimo Apaka, and the recently evicted Rubina Bernabe. Although Rubina hadn’t spent time in the jury house yet, she still shared her thoughts on a few key questions. Get ready to hear from the Big Brother season 26 jury!

What’s the best part of being in the Big Brother jury house?

Quinn Martin: The best part is definitely the relaxation. After all the stress of the Big Brother house, it’s nice to just breathe and remember that I’m a real person, not just a character on TV. It’s a space where I can just be myself, reflect on the experience, and get ready for what’s next.

T’Kor Clottey: The best thing is the relief from the pressure and anxiety of the game. The Big Brother house is intense, and while playing is fun, it’s also incredibly stressful. I’m grateful for the chance to decompress and share this space with people who understand what we’ve been through.

Leah Peters: Honestly, the coolest part is that I get to help decide who wins Big Brother! Plus, we’re basically on a luxurious vacation without the stress of the game.

Angela Murray: The best part is getting to have a say in who wins. It’s also been a chance to decompress after the intense pressure cooker that was the house. Being in the jury house feels like I’m regaining my sense of self—my face, hair, and body are all coming back to life!

Kimo Apaka: Privacy! No more cameras everywhere, which is a relief. And I’ve missed some of these people, so it’s great to reunite with everyone.

What’s the worst part of being in the Big Brother jury house?

Quinn Martin: The worst part is the constant reminder that I lost, that I got voted out. It’s hard knowing my dream of winning is gone, but I’m slowly coming to terms with it.

T’Kor Clottey: The downside is not being able to play the game anymore. And even though we’re not in the Big Brother house, there’s still a sense of confinement, and not having access to the outside world can feel a bit claustrophobic.

Leah Peters: I miss my close friends and family. Being away from them for this long is tough, but otherwise, I really don’t have much to complain about—we’re lucky to be here.

Angela Murray: The worst part is feeling like I’m stuck. I want to go outside, take a walk, or drive a car, but I can’t leave. I’m in a neighborhood, but I can’t do any of those things, and that’s frustrating.

Kimo Apaka: The hardest part is not being able to compete for the $750,000 anymore, but I’m still grateful for the experience and having fun in the jury house.

Which pre-jury evictee do you wish was in the house with you, and why?

Quinn Martin: If I had to pick, it’d be Joseph. He was one of my best friends in the house and was my second-favorite final two choice. He went home during my Head of Household (HOH) reign right before jury, and I think his input on finale night would be really valuable.

T’Kor Clottey: I’d choose Cedric, even though I voted him out to keep Rubina. He and I had a great bond in the house, and he was such a strong player. I definitely miss him.

Leah Peters: I’d pick Joseph. He’s hilarious, and we have such a similar sense of humor. I miss hanging out with him and can’t wait to reunite on finale night.

Angela Murray: I’d love to have Cedric here. He kept me laughing every day in the house and brought so much joy. He’d definitely keep us entertained in the jury house.

Kimo Apaka: I’d pick Tucker. We bonded over the summer, and I miss that guy a lot. It’d be great to have him here, but I look forward to reconnecting outside of the house.

Rubina Bernabe: I’d choose Tucker. I didn’t get to spend enough time with him, so it would’ve been nice to have him in the jury house with us.

As the Big Brother season 26 finale approaches, the jury’s insights provide a glimpse into the challenges and camaraderie of life after eviction. Now, it’s up to them to decide who will walk away with the grand prize!
