Quinn Martin had about the worst luck of any Houseguest in Big Brother 26 , which makes his great sense of humor all the more impressive. That mirth was on full display even during his eviction night, when he got the crowd laughing with the revelation of a "Hidden Immunity Idol" that he forgot to play ahead of eviction to keep himself safe. Following his bold move referencing Survivor on the BB stage, I learned from Quinn that he'd intended to use that joke much sooner.
As fans start preparing for the changes ahead of Survivor Season 47 , CinemaBlend had to ask Quinn how long he was sitting on that immunity idol joke before bringing it out for the viewers watching and streaming Big Brother . As we suspected, he came up with the idea before he was evicted and shared the details about it during a recorded Q&A ahead of officially entering the jury house: I've been sitting on that Hidden Immunity Idol joke since the first time I was on the block by America's hand. I had it in my pocket! I was going to make the joke but I think I just got flustered at the idea of declaring my love for Ice Spice that I just forgot.
I was disappointed that I didn't use it during my speech, but I had a job to do. . .
. But yeah, I've been sitting on that bit for a hot minute now. As he mentioned above, Quinn was put on the block after America's Veto was activated, and he had the prop gag in his pocket, ready to whip out in the middle of his plea to the rest of the Houseguests.
Of course, he ended up .
