Love her or hate her, Angela Murray has just entered the “Big Brother” record books for a pretty impressive feat. The season 26 hothead is now the seventh person in the history of the reality TV show to win the title of “Head of Household” twice in the first four weeks of play. The last time this rare feat was achieved was during “BB18” with Paulie Calafiorewhich means we’ve had eight seasons without a repeat HOH within the first four weeks.
Before Angela and Paulie there was Shelly Poole in “BB17”, Frankie Grande in “BB16”, Rachel Reilly in “BB13” And in “BB12”, Jessie Godderz in “BB11” and Janelle Pierzina in “BB7.” (Note that in seasons 17 and 16, there were two HOHs each week, so this twist increased the chances of someone winning twice.)

Angela won the first Head of Household competition of season 26 by rolling balls onto an LED screen and scoring the most points. During her reign, she got on the nerves of most of her houseguests with her power-hungry attitude (remember the whole “crazy eyes” fight with Matt Hardeman?), which led to her being nominated for eviction in weeks 2 and 3 by Chelsie Baham And Cedric Hodgesrespectively.
In Week 4, the 50-year-old real estate agent from Long Beach, California, just rose to Head of Household again by dominating the “BAD AI” competition. This time, she’s promising to do things differently by not making waves in the house. And she might be able to keep that promise thanks to Quinn Martin not-so-secretly takes over her nomination powers thanks to his “DeepFake HOH” upgrade. In other words, Angela doesn’t have to smear her hands with blood and is safe from being put on the hit list.

Last week, Gold Derby conducted a poll of viewers asking them why they hate Angela so much. The results are quite interesting. A whopping 76% think she is a “tyrant,” while 10% claim she is “too emotional” and 8% say she is “just there to be famous.” The remaining 6% of survey respondents said they are Angela fans who “love” her on the show.
In the future, CBS will air a special episode of “Big Brother” on Tuesday, August 13, featuring commentary from former winners Jag Bains, Taylor Hale And Cody CalafioreThe regular competition will then continue on Wednesday, August 14 (Veto episode) and Thursday, August 15 (Live Eviction episode).
