WARNING! THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS ABOUT BIG BROTHER 27!Big Brother 27 week 6 has a new Head of Household (HOH), season 13 winner Rachel Reilly, and she’s about to shake up the game and teach the houseguests how to play after over a month of the weakest strategies in the show’s history. Rachel is a Big Brother legend who’s played the game twice before. She placed 9th in Big Brother 12 and won Big Brother 13.
Throughout her first two Big Brother runs, Rachel was a very bold player, who was fiercely loyal to her allies, and a competition beast. During those two seasons, she won every endurance competition in which she participated. Rachel is now tied with Cody Calafiore for the most HOH wins in multiple seasons with seven.
Rachel was also known for her showmance with her now-husband, Brendon Villegas. Nicknamed Brenchel, they were a force to be reckoned with in both of their seasons. In addition, Rachel is famous for her iconic quotes, including, “Floaters, you better grab a life vest!,” in season 12. Now that Rachel is finally HOH in Big Brother 27, she can teach the newbies how it’s done.
Big Brother 27 Has Had Some Questionable Gameplay
The Houseguests Have Made Major Mistakes
Big Brother 27 has had some of the weakest strategies in the show’s history, as the houseguests have made many major rookie mistakes. During week 4, HOH Mickey Lee turned on one of her own alliance members, Jimmy Heagerty, which resulted in his eviction. It was a huge mistake for her to have one of her own allies evicted so early in the game, especially because Jimmy would never have voted against her.
During week 5, Zach Cornell made one of the biggest Big Brother blunders ever, when he decided not to use his BB Buyout power to save himself from the chopping block. Zach had the power to use a $10,000 prize to buy his own safety, but, because he didn’t want to see his alliance member, Morgan Pope, take his place on the chopping block, he decided not to activate it.
As a result, Zach ended up getting evicted. He thought that he was playing the game selflessly, but it was simply a really bad move. Even host Julie Chen Moonves jokingly smacked him in the head with her cards during his eviction interview. These are just two of the rookie Big Brother 27 mistakes that have had fans yelling at their TVs in frustration.
Rachel’s HOH Reign Is Already Better Than Everyone Else’s
Rachel Is Being Smart About Her Nominations
So far, Rachel has already had a smarter and more sensible HOH reign than other Big Brother 27 houseguests. The Big Brother 27 live feeds have revealed that she’s told Keanu Soto, Ava Pearl, Will Williams, Ashley Hollis, and Kelley Jorgensen that they’re safe this week.
It seems that Rachel will stick to her word, unlike Ava, who told Zach that he was safe during her HOH, but then nominated him, and Vince, who did the same to Ashley when he was HOH.
In addition, Rachel is keeping her cards close to the vest when it comes to revealing her nominations. However, she voted to evict Vince and clashed with Morgan, so they’ll most likely be on the chopping block this week. She’ll also probably nominate Mickey. Rachel’s strategy of not blabbing her nominations to anyone will keep everyone guessing, which will make her a more intimidating HOH.
Anyone who’s crossed Rachel so far in the game should heed the warning that she gave to the first Big Brother 27 evictee, Zae Frederich: “I’d be careful coming for the Queen. You will get beheaded.”
Since Big Brother 27 began, Rachel has admitted to struggling with the modern way of playing the game, which is to hide alliances and stay under-the-radar. She’s used to old-school Big Brother, with its in-your-face style of gameplay, and now she can bring it back.
The Big Brother 27 houseguests have been playing so scared, and their weak strategies have proved that they have no idea how to play the game. Now, the Queen of Big Brother is about to teach them a lesson they’ll never forget.
