Big Brother spoilers and updates tease that one of BB fans’ favorite alum, Rachel Reilly has a long history with reality TV and she is not stopping anytime soon. The mother of two is married to Brendon Villegas who she met on Big Brother 12. Although she didn’t win that season, both she and Brendon returned to BB for season 13 as part of the dynamic duo twist. Brendon was evicted early on, but Rachel, who was then in the house without her significant other, played the game wholeheartedly, dominating competitions, winning an amazing four Head of Household and two Power of Veto comps. In a very narrow margin of 4-3, Rachel won the season and $500,000.
Big Brother Spoilers – All About Rachel
Rachel lives in Las Vegas, Nevada and before reality TV, she was a Chemistry Graduate student and VIP Cocktail Waitress. In the BB house, she had a hard time making friends because she constantly irritated the other houseguests with her grating laugh and frequent crying. But as a player, she is considered one of the best in BB history because of her having won every endurance comp she has competed in. Although she is terrified of spiders, she welcomes “expect the unexpected.” And, her life motto, is “try everything out the world has to offer and always keep a smile on your face. Make the world a better place.” She was actually called to compete on BB22 but because she was pregnant with her second child, she could not participate. Aside from BB, she has competed on a BB edition of Price Is Right, she and Brendon competed in the twentieth season of The Amazing Race and finished third. This summer, Rachel will be competing with BB alum Cody Calafiore, winner of BB 22, n an all-new reality show called “The Traitor” hosted by multi-talented and award-winning Alan Cumming, and she will also be competing in “Snake In The Grass” alongside BB fan-favorite Janelle Pierzina, with other reality TV alums.
Big Brother Updates – The Pitch!
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, when asked if she would ever again return to the Big Brother house, Rachel had this to say, “Let’s make that Best of Big Brother season happen in a 3-week shortened version and I’m there. I would love more than anything to play again. It’s just hard to take 3 months off of life at this point, but I would try to make it happen because I would love to play again.”
Wouldn’t it be great to do a shortened version of Big Brother for fan-favorite alums as they do for Celebrity Big Brother? A lot of the problem with getting the alums in a regular season is that many of them have now gone on to have children and busy lives, and just don’t have the time to devote to an 82-day season like BB24.
What do you think? Would you like to see some alums participate in a shortened season?
Big Brother returns to CBS on July 6th for its 24th season with fan-favorite host, Julie Chen Moonves for a 90-minute premiere. Be sure to catch up on everything happening with Big Brother right now. Come back here often for all the Big Brother spoilers, news, and updates.

[…] This will be the first time that there will be no non-elimination legs. These are always predetermined legs where the last team to arrive at the Pit Stop is not eliminated and has a chance to continue racing. Each race would have a number of these predetermined non-elimination legs where the teams are not told in advance which legs they would occur on. In season 34, the franchise has decided to do away with the non-elimination legs, but it’s anyone’s guess at this point if they will return in a future season. So, Phil will be saying “the last team to arrive will be eliminated,” rather than “the last team to arrive may be eliminated.” Arriving in last place in a non-elimination leg usually resulted in a penalty. When you think of it, there still is a penalty, the team will no longer be racing and sent home! […]
