I don’t know how they will go.”

During the interview, Cedric did not know who won the HOH competition after his exit. The host Julie Chen-Moonves you teased it was a historic wall contest. Us filled in for Cedric to let him know that his former opponent in the game, Tucker, 30, had won, via live feed.

“OK. Tucker won the wall comp,” Cedric said as he considered what that meant for his teammates. “Make sense. So they are in trouble.”

After Cedric put Maensy, 22, on the block, he immediately turned on his powers, making himself safe for a week. The third nominee was voted for by America, who ultimately chose Quinn. Cedric’s choice to stay loyal to Quinn burned his bridge with Tucker, who said he would follow him.

Big Brother’s motto is “Expect the Unexpected,” and the CBS reality series has offered some satisfying misfires over the years. Living together in a house separated from the world often means that the houseguests sniff out who their housemates plan to vote for on eviction night. However, they did not enter the competition […]

Despite their rocky relationship in the game, Cedric has nothing but love for Tucker as a person. However, he doesn’t think Tucker will stay in the house for long.

“I love Tucker and I respect him as a man,” Cedric said Us. “But as a player it is still a struggle [and]you got the best of me … I don’t think you’re looking forward to the game. He is heavily weighted by the Big Brother competition and has no social aspect. So there is always a front door to exit if you miss the competition like I did. But there’s always a back door in Big Brother too.”

Big Brother airs on CBS Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 pm ET and Sundays at 9 pm ET.
