Many Big Brother fans on social media appear convinced that Rachel Reilly is part of the BB27 cast.
Rachel first appeared on BB12, cementing her legacy on the show when she poked fun at “floaters” during her time on the show.
The former Vegas event hostess would return for BB13, competing against a cast that included both newbies and alums vying for the $500,000 prize.
Rachel won Big Brother 13 over Porsche Briggs. That season also included Adam Poch, Jordan Lloyd, Jeff Schroeder, Shelly Moore, Kalia Booker, Daniele Donato, Brendon Villegas, Cassi Colvin, Keith Henderson, Lawon Exum, Dominic Briones, and Dick Donato.
That was the last time Rachel played Big Brother, as she was pregnant during filming for Big Brother: All-Stars 2 (BB22).
Fans seem convinced the BB27 cast features Rachel
As previously reported by Tea on TV, the first few cast members of BB27 were revealed. They star in a new television commercial running on CBS. No, Rachel isn’t in that commercial.
However, since then, numerous posts on social media by fans have convinced them that Rachel is the “Mystery Houseguest.”
Adding to the situation was a post by Big Brother legend Janelle Pierzina, who seemed to confirm the news. But was she trolling? She has done it before.
“Dude I’ve called Rachel Reiley’s phone 10 times to chat about our next BB Cruise and it goes right to voicemail. Did she seriously not tell me that she’s going back into the Big Brother house?!??! That woman tells me everything!! #BB27,” Janelle wrote.
She also made follow-up posts that continue to spur the rumor and create buzz.
Several fans have noted that Rachel’s Cameo page has gone inactive.
Another fan referenced a previous interview done by Rachel.
“Just remembered this RHAP interview with Rachel during this season of the traitors… it’s definitely Rachel #bb27,” they wrote.
“If Angela ain’t coming i’m at least glad it’s Rachel #bb27,” wrote someone else.
They were referring to Angela Murray, who stirred up some drama and excitement on the BB26 cast.
“We are about to live in a universe where Rachel Reilly becomes the first ever 2-time winner of Big Brother #BB27,” posted another viewer.
That could cause some debate. Nicole Franzel is already considered a two-time winner after winning BB18 and Big Brother: Reindeer Games.
Is Rachel Reilly really on Big Brother 27?
Many interviews have been given by host Julie Chen Moonves and the producers about the upcoming season.
All of those interviews stated that there are no returning players on the BB27 cast.
Still, it hasn’t stopped the rumors. Many people are still convinced that Rachel will be competing again.
Maybe she is appearing on the show, but not as a player?
Here are some clues from Julie herself. She spoke about what fans can expect, and it should be a drama-filled summer.
More from Big Brother
Here’s the July BB27 episode schedule. The month is packed with content. The first episode is on July 10.
Unfortunately, the season begins several days earlier. Much footage will be pre-taped for airing on CBS later.
This also means the Big Brother Live Feeds are delayed. That’s a disappointing revelation.
