EvictedBig Brotherseason 26 houseguest Joseph Rodriguez revealed the producers prompted him to say which past players he was modeling his game after, which is why he compared himself to legend and season 2 winner Dr. Will Kirby. Joseph was evicted from theBig Brotherseason 26house after his ally, Quinn Martin, named him as a replacement nominee when Leah Peters saved Quinn’s original target, Angela Murray, with the Power of Veto. This greatly angered Joseph, who vowed to come after Quinn next week. However,Joseph was evicted by a vote of 4 to 3 over Kimo Apaka.
“They prompted me that in the Diary Room.”
In an interview withParade,Joseph revealed that the producers were the reason that he compared his game to that of Dr. Will. When asked about his overconfidence and making the comparison, Joseph replied,“They prompted me that in the Diary Room. They asked me for comparisons and of who I was modeling my game after. And I said, Dr. Will and Dan [Gheesling]. That was not me being like, ‘Oh, I’m as good as them,’ or anything like that.“Joseph had said that, like Dr. Will, he wanted to win the game without winning a single competition.
Although Joseph and Quinn were closely aligned, his fellow superfan nominated him for eviction. Joseph said that he wanted to be careful with his wording, but"Quinn really got on my nerves a lot of the time.“He said that their personalities clashed, even though"he’s a nice kid.“Joseph admitted that he found some of Quinn’s game decisions"very puzzling, very bad,“such as nominating him and, earlier, Cedric Hodges. Joseph went on to say that Quinn"was such an obvious liar in the game, and somebody who was exposed early on by people as being a liar.”

It’s interesting that Joseph said hiscomparison to Dr. Willwas prompted by the producers becausehe also used it in a conversation with Chelsie Baham(see the clip shared via theBig BrotherYouTube page below). While they might’ve helped Joseph come up with the idea, he ran with it. However, his comparison seems to have come more from a place of admiration rather than arrogance. Joseph’s mistake was thatBig Brother 26is a very different game fromBig Brother 2, so Dr. Will’s strategy of not winning competitions couldn’t work anymore, especially with the BB A.I. Arena.
It’s also strange thatJoseph called Quinn a liarbecauseJoseph was the one who was instrumental in flipping the vote on Cedric after T’kor Clottey and Kimo Apaka came up with the idea. He blindsided the Pentagon alliance, who was also in the Collective alliance with him. Joseph also had some puzzling game moves throughout the season, but his worst mistake was throwing the week 7 Power of Veto competition, which could’ve saved him. Joseph is a good guy, but his game decisions onBig Brother 26got him evicted.
Big Brotherseason 26 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EDT and Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. EDT on CBS.
