Rachel Reilly Returns to Big Brother with a Twist: She’s a Houseguest…and Part of a Bigger Game
Reality TV legend Rachel Reilly entered Big Brother 27 as a supposed mystery houseguest, only to be revealed as a regular competitor…with a secret accomplice!
“Floaters, Grab a Life Vest!” – Rachel Reilly Shakes Up Big Brother 27
The premiere of Big Brother 27 delivered a major shocker: reality TV legend Rachel Reilly (known for her appearances on Big Brother 12 & 13, The Amazing Race, and The Traitors) entered the house – not as the anticipated 17th “mystery houseguest,” but as a full-fledged competitor!
The twist unfolded after host Julie Chen Moonves was seemingly “kidnapped” by a masked figure known as “The Mastermind,” who stole the Head of Household relic. After a series of challenges to recover Julie and the relic, The Mastermind revealed that Rachel was actually the 16th houseguest, and that another houseguest is secretly working as their accomplice.
“I’m back, bitches! I’m here to show these newbies how to play Big Brother,” Rachel declared upon entering the house, instantly re-establishing her signature competitive spirit.
The Mastermind’s Game: A Hidden Accomplice
The revelation of an accomplice adds a complex layer of strategy to the game. Houseguests must now identify who is secretly working for The Mastermind. If they succeed, the accomplice is eliminated. If they fail, the accomplice remains in the game, gaining a significant advantage.
“It is up to the other houseguests to identify the accomplice and if they identify them they’re out of the game, if not they’ll stay in play,” reports TheWrap.
