WARNING! THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS ABOUT BIG BROTHER 27!When the Big Brother 27 live feeds went down after the week 8 live eviction episode, fans speculated that there was going to be a surprise eviction, and their theory was proven right when the feeds returned over 24 hours after they were turned off. After Mickey Lee was evicted by a vote of 6 to 1 over Ashley Hollis, the Mastermind returned to announce that the houseguests would be invited to the mysterious White Locust Resort, but one wouldn’t be checking out.
When CBS announced that the Big Brother 27 live feeds wouldn’t return until after the West Coast airing of Big Brother Unlocked, during which a sneak peek of the White Locust Resort was revealed and Taylor Hale announced that one houseguest’s game would come to an end and air during the Tuesday, September 9 episode, fans took to social media to share their theory about a surprise elimination that they thought took place while the feeds were down.
The Big Brother 27 live feeds have now returned and confirmed that Rachel Reilly was eliminated from the game in the White Locust twist while the live feeds were turned off. Ashley Hollis was seen saying that Rachel was “sacrificed,” and Rachel’s picture was gray on the Memory Wall.
Fans Are Outraged About The Big Brother 27 White Locust Twist
Even Rachel’s Haters Believe The Twist Was Unfair
When the Big Brother 27 live feeds returned, fans were outraged to see that Rachel appeared to have been eliminated due to a twist, rather than an eviction, and even her haters believed that this was unfair. Some called the twist the worst in the show’s history, especially because Rachel is a Big Brother legend and the season 13 winner.
Rachel Reilly Deserved Better From Big Brother 27
Rachel Was Playing A Masterful Game
Rachel deserved better than to have been eliminated from the game while the feeds were down. She was playing a masterful game, showing the newbies how it’s done. The queen beheaded her enemies ruthlessly, especially when, during her HOH reign, she took revenge on Lauren for saving Vince Panaro with the Power of Veto and named Lauren’s ally, Rylie Jeffries, as the replacement nominee, which led to his eviction.
It’s a shame that Rachel left the game so unceremoniously, and Big Brother 27 won’t be the same without her. It’s going to be intriguing to see exactly what happened when she was eliminated. The remaining Big Brother 27 houseguests will now be playing the game without her as a threat, so it’ll be interesting to see who they view as the biggest target next. The White Locust twist was a shocking reminder that Big Brother fans should always “expect the unexpected.”
