Heading into the fourth episode of “Big Brother 26,” Angela Murray went from “House Mom” to Head of Household, proving that age was just a number in the first HOH competition. After unintentionally putting Matt Hardeman ‘s game on blast, she apologized to the jock from Georgia, which he returned with a threat that he’d go after her if he was nominated. Playing it safe, Angela decided to throw Kenney Kelly , Kimo Apaka and Lisa Weinntraub on the block. The move seemed to shock all of them, and based on previews we’re in for an emotional episode. Who will win tonight’s Power of Veto? And will they use it to pull Kenney, Kimo or Lisa off the block? Let’s find out!

9:07 p.m. — Following Angela’s tearful nomination ceremony she confirms Kenney is her target in the Diary Room. She still feels threatened by Matt, stating, “He better be on his best behavior,” or he could end up as a replacement nominee. Kimo is a hot mess, sobbing in the Diary Room bringing up his past as a gay, overweight outsider. Kenney is not phased at all. Lisa is shocked and blindsided, shedding her own tears of sorrow. The tears continue as Angela approaches Kimo and tells him he has nothing to worry about. She assures him Kenney is her target and he pledges to win the Veto.
9:10 p.m. — Angela continues her tearful apology tour with Lisa. She tells Lisa that Kenney is the target and Lisa responds, “Am I supposed to trust you right now?” Lisa gives no sympathy to the woman who just put her on the block. Meanwhile, nobody is being nicer to Angela than Kenney, so it’s kind of hilarious that he’s her target. As time passes, Angela grows bitter that Matt isn’t kissing her ass — or even making eye contact. She tells Chelsie and Joseph, “That son of a bitch wouldn’t even hug me.” Then she mocks him and coins his nickname, “Crazy Eyes.” She spends the next few moments fuming by herself in the HOH room while watching Matt on her cameras. She’s completely unhinged and I’m loving it!
9:20 p.m. — There’s a bit of flirting going on between Matt and Makensy, whose beds are side-by-side. In the Diary Room, Matt says there’s “definitely a vibe.” Makensy calls him “sweet and kind” and she loves getting to know him. The next morning Matt, Makensy and Leah have a huddle. This has become a natural alliance they call “The Throwmance.” Makensy confesses to them that she has a special power — she can pull someone off the block and America will choose the replacement. In another room, Joseph, Chelsie and Cedric confirm their own alliance…but unlike the others, they’re smart enough to expand. They rope in Cam, Quinn, Angela, T’Kor and Kimo. With half the house in an alliance and Angela sitting pretty, her mind begins spinning in the HOH room and she grows absolutely paranoid. She thinks Matt is “starting a war” with her when he’s barely even mentioned her.
9:23 p.m. — Joseph and Quinn enter the HOH room to explain “The Collective” alliance to Angela. For a brief moment she looks happy as they assure her, “You have a team.” Behind the scenes, she expresses that it’s “just a hoax” and she thinks Matt sent them upstairs to pull the wool over her eyes. Angela is completely delusional. She thinks Matt is obsessed with her and he’s barely mentioned her at all. She also thinks her alliance is coming after her, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
9:30 p.m. — In the dead of night, Angela is awake — her mind spinning over the “fake” alliance she’s in that’s actually 100% legit. She’s “taking back her power” and begins to think up a plan to “crucify Crazy Eyes.” The next morning Angela walks down the stairs and immediately attacks Matt, saying, “I’m so flattered that I’m a threat to you, Crazy Eyes!” Then she says Quinn and Joseph’s performance in the HOH room was great for a TV movie. Angela goes on to explain that Matt verbally threatened her. Angela is HEATED and nobody has any clue what she’s talking about. She’s going ON and ON in one of the most epic meltdowns I’ve ever seen. She will not let her obsession with Matt go and continues to belittle him and call him Crazy Eyes. She even says Matt’s mom is going to be embarrassed to watch him on TV. As things cools down the entire house is just sitting quietly in shock. Makensy is in tears and Joseph hilariously notes, “I think that will make the episode.”
