Big Brother alums really mad at new twist, here’s what they said

Big Brother alums have had much to say about the latest twist, and none of it has been good. Many fans agree with that sentiment. Some said they are “done” with the season after what happened with the feeds turned off.

As previously reported by Tea on TV, Rachel Reilly got eliminated from the game. No, it wasn’t by an eviction. And no, she didn’t have the opportunity to campaign or save herself. Instead, the show sent home a player due to the results of a secret competition.

Rachel’s husband responds to Rachel’s elimination

Much like how Brendon Villegas responded when Rachel was accused of cheating at the game, he has now responded to his wife getting sent to the jury house. Brendon did a live session from Instagram on Saturday morning, letting fans know that production had given him the heads up about Rachel being eliminated. He had a lot to say about the ugly comments Ava and Kelley have made about Rachel on the feeds following Rachel’s removal.

Below are additional words that Brendon shared:

Big Brother has some upset alums

Fellow Big Brother alum Janelle Pierzina pulled no punches when she posted on X.

“Woke up at 3am to the awful news. Cancel the whole f*****g show! No one cares about anyone else winning. Rachel is BIG BROTHER. I’m disgusted. A bunch of furniture left in the game and one of them can’t even f*****g talk. What in the actual f**k #bb27,” Janelle wrote.

“No Blockbuster No Veto No HOH No voting No Eviction …. Just a s****y twist that shouldn’t have happened. #bb27,” Janelle added in a second post.

“Just saw the #BB27 Rachel news…,” Big Brother winner Dan Gheesling wrote on X.

“Was rooting for her to be the first 2x winner – can’t even imagine how devastated she must be. Always having a chance to fight to stay in the game & knowing it’s never over until the final vote is cast is what I’ve always loved about Big Brother. Maybe this will help return the franchise to less severe game mechanic twists or even no twists at all,” Dan added.

Big Brother 15 winner Andy Herren also had a lot to say.

“I’m gobsmacked. Rachel came back after 14 years. She was playing the best game she’s ever played. She made it to jury without ever touching the block,” Andy wrote.

Andy also felt that Rachel could have won the show. Furthermore, Andy felt Rachel could have won.

What do you think about this mess? Did they do Rachel wrong here?
