Here's who went home on Big Brother season 26 tonight (Episode 5)
By Diana Nosa
Angela Murray, our very first Big Brother season 26 Head of Household of the season, took a jab at three houseguests this week— Kimo Apaka, Kenney Kelley, and Lisa Weintraub. Lisa pulled herself off the eviction block by winning the Golden Power of Veto, which made Angela have to put up Matt Hardeman as a replacement nominee.

During the first live eviction of the season, Kimo, Kenney, and Matt faced off in the first AI Arena competition of the season. The competition was called "Glitch in the System" and each houseguest was required to memorize sixteen videos to see which houseguest was displayed in the video the most times. The person who clocked in their answer the fastest was granted the victory and pulled themselves off the block.
After it was all said and done, Kimo was the fortunate houseguest to win the AI Arena competition and take himself off the block, leaving Matt and Kenney as the final two houseguests on the block this week. But only one can head back into the house with their head held high, while the other has to walk out of the Big Brother season 26 house, ending their journey to winning the $750,000 grand prize.
Here's who the houseguest who America had to say goodbye to first!
Matt is the first evicted houseguest of Big Brother season 26
