On Saturday, however, viewers saw the live broadcast abruptly interrupted, leading social media users to speculate about the cause.
Big Brother immediately addressed the issue in its Instagram stories, writing: “Hey Big Brother fans! The live feeds might be down longer than usual today due to a classic Veto competition and the ongoing AI Instigator twist.”
“See all the fun and drama in this week’s episodes.”
Still, fans shared their predictions about what happened, with many pointing the finger at Leah.
“This is all speculation, but it is believed that someone said something inappropriate and that is why the live broadcast was down for nine hours,” wrote one fan in a popular online thread.
The user then said that there were rumors circulating that this person was Leah because Tucker (Des Lauriers) had claimed during a conversation with Rubina (Bernabe) that his co-star had gotten into trouble before.
“The only indication we have that Leah caused the interruption in the broadcast is Tucker’s speculation that Chelsie (Baham) was hurt by something Leah said,” another responded.
“When he said that, Tucker didn’t know it either. He was doing the same thing we’re all doing now,” they added.
Viewers have previously criticized Leah for her unfiltered comments on the show.
Fans took issue with Leah talking to Rubina about her feelings for Tucker on the July 27 episode.
Many complained online that it was wrong for Leah to discuss this with Rubina, as she also had a crush on Tucker.
“Leah talks to Rubina about her feelings for Tucker. It’s totally weird to me because talking to Rubina puts her in a position where she has to say, ‘Yeah, girl, take him down!'”
“I have to admit this is very embarrassing behavior. I’m all for Leah when it comes to funny feeds but this is silly. She and Tucker haven’t even developed a real rapport yet but I feel like she’s just pushing Rubina out of the way,” commented a second.
“The thing is, Leah can’t fathom that Tucker likes Rubina…” said a third.
