Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for Season 26 of Big Brother.
In the Big Brother universe, one houseguest reigns supreme over all the rest. The so-called Head of Household (HOH) weaves through their stay with special permissions, including the bonus that they can’t be evicted from the house the week they are appointed. But these perks come with a cost: While in charge, the HOH must decide whom to nominate for the dreaded eviction.
Season 26 features all new players to the Big Brother game and no returning vets to shake things up. But don't get it twisted — these newbies have every intention of playing strong individual games, and following the season premiere, the intense game of strategy began.
Read on to learn more about Season 26's most recent HOH winner.
Who is the new HOH in 'Big Brother' Season 26?
There's a lot about Big Brother 26 that screams Julie Chen Moonves' iconic saying "expect the unexpected," and some of the Head of Household competitions will certainly add to those unexpected moments. While we don't yet know what the week's events will entail, we at least know who the Week 12 HOH is and where their head is at. Well, sort of.
According to the live feeds, Chelsie wins the competition to become the 12th HOH of Big Brother 26. This is her fourth HOH of the season, and she's starting to look increasingly like a strong contender for the title.
Chelsie has already made her nominations, putting Cam and Makensy up for eviction — both of whom are her allies. If she wins the Power of Veto, she’ll have the power to decide who goes home on live eviction night.
It'll be fascinating to see who joins Chelsie in the final three and whether they can muster the strength to take her down before she swoops in to claim the $750,000 prize!
'Big Brother 26' has tons of twists.
Right off the bat, Big Brother 26 is different thanks to its BBAI twist. Artificial Intelligence plays a role in shaking up the game throughout the season and there's even an AI-generated image that remains in the house on a screen and talks to the houseguests. Add to that the two unexpected powers that two players have from the jump, and things are intense from the start.
And until the Veto competition, there's already plenty on the line for HOH Chelsie!
