    Joseph Rodriguez blames his two closest allies for his eviction on “Big Brother 26.”

    The 30-year-old video store clerk went home on last Thursday’s episode due to what he described as “a series of unfortunate events,” which involved Leah Peters using the Power of Veto to save Angela Murray , and then Quinn Martin putting Rodriguez on the block.

    “They were both terrible decisions,” Rodriguez exclusively told The Post in his post-eviction interview. “I think it was bad for both of them.”

    Between his two allies, Rodriguez thinks Peters, 26, made the bigger blunder that got him evicted.

    ‘Big Brother’ star Tucker Des Lauriers is still in disbelief over Angela’s betrayal: ‘What is going on?’

    “Quinn was, through his own ineptitude, in a tough spot because he had overpromised people like, ‘I got you, I got you, I got you,’ ” Rodriguez explained. “And then he was like, ‘I guess I gotta put Joseph up now because I’m backed into a corner.’ “

    “Whereas if Leah had just not used it… and I think it was short sighted of her to be like, ‘I need to keep Angela around just for one jury vote,’ ” he continued. “That was her explanation for it — I don’t know how authentic that was. But in my head I just feel like that’s short sighted. That’s one vote.”

    Rodriguez also pointed out that Murray, 50, has been unpredictable all season long, noting that she turned on their ally Tucker Des Lauries before his eviction two weeks ago.

    “You don’t know if Angela is gonna vote for you,” he said. “She can change with the blow of the wind. The people she’s been loyal to the whole game she’ll turn on them.”

    “That made me really upset, me and Tucker could’ve gone to the end with her. That would’ve been a great spot for me. And she couldn’t sit still. She couldn’t chill out and just let things happen.”

    Due to Murray’s questionable gameplay, Rodriguez reiterated that Peters’ decision to save the real estate agent didn’t benefit her in the game.

    “With Quinn, you could be like, oh, he was making other people happy, maybe he’ll get in good with them. But his was bad too,” he said. “They’re both bad.”

    “It took a series of unfortunate events,” Rodriguez added about his eviction. “And there’s some mistakes on my part. I didn’t hammer home with Quinn how bad of an idea it was to put me up. But I never trusted him, and I didn’t want to throw T’Kor [Clottey ] under the bus, and then him go tell T’Kor and then T’Kor hates me.”

    He went on, “And with Leah, I was concerned with her. I got this vibe that I felt the more I pushed with her to not use it, it would make her want to use it more because I was constantly lying to her in the game. So I just felt like I didn’t have that capital with her to push her to do what I wanted.”

    “I just didn’t think she was going to use it because it made no sense to me,” Rodriguez said. “But that is also on me for not finding a way to get her to not use it.”

    “Big Brother” airs Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays on CBS.
