Tucker Des Lauriers
Evicted on Day 45, the comedic Tucker Des Lauriers showed that he could win when he really needed to, although the 30-year-old marketing/sales representative from Brooklyn, New York probably got a little too cocky by leaving himself on the block at times and using his PoVs on other Houseguests. Dude.
Still, Tucker made some money on Big Brother 26 after being voted America’s Favorite Houseguest for the big $50,000 check and he also received $20,000 in the AI Instigator twist on Day 45, in an amount voted on by the fans. Of course, CBS knew the fans would vote for the highest reward amount.
Like Matt and Makensy, the weight-lifting and in-shape Tucker would be a natural for a show like The Challenge with his larger-than-life personality, but like Matt and Makensy, he may actually be too nice for the cut-throat MTV show with a show like The Traitors (Peacock) may be more suited for him.
Tucker won three PoVs in four weeks, but his eviction left many BB fans wanting more and wishing that he didn’t put himself in peril so much with his risky and win-every-week early gameplay style. Expect Tucker back on the next Big Brother: All-Stars season.
