Brooklyn Rivera was voted out of the “Big Brother 26” house last week. Here’s what she is saying now that it has been a few days since her eviction.
The longtime CBS show “Big Brother” has had a few Oklahomans grace the screen with large characters, including three-time player and Tulsa transplant Britney Haynes, Durant native and season 5 runner-up Michael “Cowboy” Ellis, and Edmond native Nathan Goodwin.
But a new Oklahoma native is making his way. The show’s most recent “Oklahomie” and current Head of Household is Quinn Martin, who has occupied much of the game in its pre-jury phase.

Who is Quinn Martin?
Quinn Martin claims Lawton as his hometown, though he has moved to Omaha, Nebraska, where he is a nurse recruiter. He is an alum of Doane University in Crete, Nebraska, where he played soccer throughout his collegiate years.
What is ‘Big Brother’?
CBS’s “Big Brother” is a reality competition show that has been on air since 2000. In the show, contestants live in a house documented 24 hours a day as they compete for $750,000.
What has Quinn Martin done in ‘Big Brother’?
When the season premiered on July 17, Quinn Martin won the “AI Chip Install” competition awarding him the “Deepfake HOH” power to become the Head of Household in disguise and make nominations in secret. He eventually would use this power during the fourth week.
He now is the Head of Household for Week 7.
Has Quinn won any competitions?
Quinn has won two competitions so far.
How has Quinn been received by viewers?
Quinn has garnered a mixed reception from viewers. Initially, he was seen as a fan favorite, but over time has lost some of his appeal due to game moves like accidentally getting his ally evicted from the game in Cedric Hodges.
How do other ‘Big Brother’ players feel about Quinn?
We have only gotten to hear thoughts from the first five houseguests to be evicted and all have expressed just as divided of opinion on Quinn. When Brooklyn Rivera was evicted on Aug. 22, she said she was the most betrayed by Quinn but still recognized how talented he is at the game.
“For him to not believe that Chelsie Baham and I weren’t loyal [to our alliance], and kind of throw us under the bus to save himself. It sucks, but that’s ‘Big Brother.’ I think he is going to win if Chelsie doesn’t,” Rivera said to host Julie Chen Moonves on Aug. 22.
