Big Brother 26<\/em><\/a> fans who are rooting for Leah Peters<\/strong> and Quinn Martin<\/strong><\/a> to get together may still have hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m willing to keep an open mind [and] see where things go,\u201d Leah, 26, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> on Friday, September 27, when asked whether she and Quinn, 25, might strike up a showmance in the jury house. \u201cBut overall, I would like to keep him in my life as long as possible, because he and his relationship mean a lot to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leah shared that while she \u201creally [has] no idea\u201d whether romance is in the cards for the duo, she knows that they are \u201calways going to be very close.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely missed him since he\u2019s been gone,\u201d said Leah, who was evicted from the Big Brother<\/em> house on Thursday, September 26, two weeks after Quinn became the first member of the jury. \u201cI think that he\u2019s just a phenomenal person.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIt\u2019s tough to win Big Brother without some sort of alliance \u2014 but it\u2019s even more difficult if you\u2019re one half of a showmance. However, that doesn\u2019t stop competitors, time and time again, from pairing up while in the house. Thank You! You have successfully subscribed. Subscribe to newsletters Please enter a valid email.

Quinn\u2019s feelings for Leah seemed one-sided for much of the season, but that changed when Leah admitted to having \u201ca crush\u201d on him<\/a> during a September 12 episode.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t tell anyone,\u201d she joked in the diary room, covering her face with her hands.<\/p>\n

The pair were tight all season, and Quinn memorably showered Leah with praise when she won the power of veto earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are sick nasty. You are incredible. You looked really cool in yellow,\u201d he said in a much-memed speech. \u201cI like your smile; you treat people with kindness; you are really funny; you are really good at cooking. There\u2019s a lot. The word \u2018sensational\u2019 comes to mind when I think of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Quinn will no doubt be glad to reunite with Leah in the jury house, he\u2019ll likely be shocked by how she got there. Makensy \u201cMJ\u201d Manbeck<\/strong>, whom Leah has been close with all season, put her up as a replacement nominee this week after learning that Leah expressed interest in targeting her ally Chelsie Baham<\/strong>. Chelsie, 27, tried all week to get MJ, 22, to nominate Leah, and eventually succeeded.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Big Brother motto is \u201cExpect the Unexpected,\u201d and the CBS reality series has served up some satisfying blindsides over the years. Living together in a house cut off from the rest of the world often means that houseguests sniff out exactly who their fellow houseguests plan to vote for on eviction nights. However, contestants [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI think that MJ nominated me because she let a lot of people get into her ear and talk to her and convince her that I was maybe a threat to her game and that I was considering putting her up, and that was just never the case,\u201d Leah told Us<\/em>. \u201cI was never considering putting MJ up. I would never have risked our relationship and I honestly wanted to protect her and keep her in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
