#886. Big Brother royalty is in the house—literally. Rachel Reilly, one of the most iconic players in the show’s 27-season history, sits down with Kaitlyn just weeks after this season wrapped and wastes no time spilling everything. From the moment the doors locked behind her to the exact point she knew the game had shifted, Rachel opens up about why she came back, the truth behind that viral comp everyone swears she threw, and whether she really believes she had the win locked in.
She pulls back the curtain on life inside the house today vs. a decade ago, the three-week whirlwind leading up to her return, what actually goes down in jury, and the burning question on every fan’s mind: Is another All Stars already in motion?
This episode isn’t just a recap—it’s a reality TV reckoning. If you think you know the game… think again.
