Big Brotherhouseguest Tucker Des Lauriers, who’s currently on the nomination block despite winning the Power Of Veto competition, and Rubina Bernabe have been circling a showmance since the early days of the season. During Wednesday night’sBig Brotherlive feeds,the pair was caught on camera in an intense embrace after admitting they have feelings for one another(via@Myriamon X), seemingly trying to keep themselves from doing anything more as they reckoned with the idea that Tucker may be evicted during the next live eviction episode.
While it’s only been roughly 30 days within the walls of theBig Brother 26house, the intensity that comes along with extreme isolation can make connections build quickly.

While Tucker is currently on the nomination block and could potentially be evicted in the next live episode, if he makes it through the eviction,it’s possible that Tucker and Rubina’s showmance could genuinely blossom. While both have been trying to fight becoming afull-blown showmance in theBig Brotherhousedue to how romantic relationships are targeted in the game, their feelings and attraction have grown far more intense in recent days. Tucker, who’s been one of the loose cannons in the game, has been angling for change in theBig Brotherhouse, and Rubina could help with that.
Although Tucker’s strategy has been called into question, the chaotic nature of his gameplay has created hope that he’ll stay in the game. Now his relationship with Rubina has spared someBig Brotherviewers’ interest. The pair hasn’t fully dived into their showmance, but with time, they both seem to feel they’ll be unable to ignore their desires (via@KemsVeto).Tucker may not be great for Rubina’s game, but her standing in theBig Brotherhouse could use improvement, which could come from making some bold moves alongside her budding showmance partner.
AsBig Brother 26reaches a pivotal point,Tucker’s decision to put his game on the line to try and upend the power structure may backfireon him. Though he understood the risks coming into the game, Tucker likely didn’t expect to blow things up so severely. With everything hinging onBig Brother’s AI Arena competition, Tucker and Rubina’s showmance may hang in the balance. Although they appear to be enjoying their time together in theBig Brotherhouse, their choices may wind up causing more harm than good.
