Big Brother27 started off with a bang as a group of new houseguests moved into Hotel Mystére and were greeted with competitions, twists, andthe return of aBig Brotherlegend in a new and exciting way. ThroughoutBig Brotherhistory, there have been returning houseguests who have come in to give their all in the competition a second, third, or fourth time.
Big Brotherhasn’t had a returnee season in years, and when the cast was announced, it was shared that there would be 16 all-new houseguests joining the game, butBBwas keeping a secret that they hid in plain sight throughout the pre-season.Big Brother27’shidden houseguest, aBBlegend, joined the gameduring the shocking 90-minute season premiere.
While there were twists and turns elsewhere in the game that led to two shocking powers, a new Head Of Household, and a turn of events that no one could’ve predicted,Big Brother27’s premiere brought back alegendand released them into the game. The houseguests, who were floored at the reveal,have to contend with someone who’s played the game twice before.
Big Brother Legend Rachel Reilly Was Released Into The Game
She’s The Actual Sixteenth Houseguest In The Game
DuringBig Brother27’s 90-minute premiere,Rachel Reilly was brought into the game as the actual 16th houseguest of the season. In a twistBBhas been previewing for the last week, Rachel entered the game after the first HOH competition had been played with her iconic catch phrase, telling the floaters to"grab a life vest"as she made her way down the stairs.
Rachel, who was a pre-juror onBig Brother12 and wonBig Brother13, hasn’t been in theBBhouse to play since 2011, but has appeared on other reality TV shows in the interim. As a veteran of reality TV,Rachel knows how to bring the drama and is a massiveBBfan. Bringing her into the game may be polarizing, but will be excellent TV.
The New Houseguests Were Met With Some New & Interesting Twists
They Played Two Competitions Before The HOH Was Crowned
Big Brother27’s new houseguests were met with a different style ofBBmove in day, reminiscent ofBig Brother26. After splitting into two teams to find Host Julie Chen Moonves, who was taken by theBig BrotherMastermind,the houseguests had to play in two separate challenges, unlocking two powers. In the first competition, Zach Cornell won $10,000.
During the second competition, Jimmy Heagerty won the chance to choose the four houseguests who would compete for HOH. He choseto compete along with Ashley Hollis, Adrian Rocha, and Vince Panaro. Neck and neck,Vince took the HOH title over Jimmy, excited to be safe for the first week of the summer. Then, the houseguests were surprised by Rachel & a major twist.
The HOH Competition Led To The BB Mastermind Announcing Their Accomplice
Someone In The Game Is Playing To Sabotage
As Rachel made her appearance, the houseguests were shocked to learn thatshe was the actual 16th houseguest, and one of their own was a saboteur called theBBAccomplice. Helping out the Mastermind throughout their first hours together,the houseguests were tasked with discovering who the Accomplice was. If they were able to, the Accomplice would be immediately evicted from the house.
If the houseguests aren’t able to figure out who theBBAccomplice is, however, they’ll continue to wreak havoc on the game. As the houseguests got started trying to figure out which of their own was suspicious,things in theBig Brotherhouse changed for good. With the return of the AI Arena, now rebranded as theBBBlockbuster competition,Big Brotheris off to an exciting start.
