DuringBig Brotherseason 26, evicted houseguest Joseph Rodriguez compared his gameplay to that ofBig Brotherseason 2 winner Dr. Will Kirby, and now hostJulie Chen Moonvesweighs in on whether Joseph was delusional for saying this. Joseph’sBig Brotherseason 26strategy was to not win any competitions like iconic player Dr. Will.He wanted to win the whole game without winning any competitionsduring the season. However, when Joseph threw the week 7 Power of Veto competition, he left himself vulnerable to being nominated by Head of Household (HOH) Quinn Martin, which led to his eviction.
“Delusional is an exaggeration.”
In an interview withEW,Julie was asked if she thought that Joseph was"delusional"when he compared himself to Dr. Will onBig Brother 26. She responded that it would an “exaggeration” to call him “delusional.” However, Joseph “has a point.” Julie went on to say that Joseph"did indeed copy Dr. Will by not winning a competition and being chill about it. But people probably think he’s delusional for drawing the comparisons because Dr. Will was charismatic about it. Joseph is liked by all in the house."

Joseph is a different type of person from Dr. Will. Joseph was laid-back and under-the-radar, whileDr. Will was an evil genius. However, Joseph did help pull off T’kor Clottey and Kimo Apaka’s blindside of Cedric Hodges by flipping. Joseph made a mistake by not winning competitions becauseBig Brother 26is a very different game fromBig Brother 2, and players are more savvy because they’ve learned so much in the two-plus decades since Dr. Will played.Dr. Will’s strategy simply couldn’t work in modernBig Brother, especially with the BB A.I. Arena competition throwing in a third nominee.
Julie is right that the houseguests are most likely keeping Angela in the game because they aren’t threatened by her. However,it’s fascinating that they don’t see Angela as a threat when she’s won two HOH competitions and managed to escape eviction four times. She could definitely creep up on them and win the whole game if they’re not careful. If she did, Angela would be the first wife and mother ever to winBig Brother, which could get her sentimental votes. Whatever happens next, theBig Brother 26houseguests should learn from Joseph’s eviction and always"expect the unexpected."
Big Brotherseason 26 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EDT and Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. EDT on CBS.
