Rachel Reilly has vowed that she will become the first two-time winner of Big Brother once she plays again, and revealed that she would love to compete on Survivor with either her sister Elissa Slater or her husband Brendon Villegas. The fans first got to know Rachel and Brendon when they competed on Big Brother 12. That was also when Rachel and Brendon met each other and started their everlasting showmance. The pair came back a year later for Big Brother 13, which had a twist of bringing back returning players as "iconic duos."
On BB13, Rachel Reilly outlasted Brendon Villegas and went on to win the $500,000 grand prize in the end. While some jury members argued that Porsche Briggs should win the season, Rachel took home the crown by a 4-3 jury vote. Brendon went on to propose to Rachel in February 2011, and the two got married in September 2012. The couple's first daughter, Adora Borealis Villegas, was born in April 2016. They then welcomed their son, Adler Mateo Villegas, in November 2020. Unfortunately, Rachel's second pregnancy coincided with the airing of Big Brother 22: All-Stars, which made it impossible for her to compete on the season.
Now, Rachel Reilly took a break from parenting to hold an Instagram Q&A and talk about reality TV as a whole. When a fan asked, "Do you think you'll be the first-ever two-time winner of Big Brother?" Rachel started out saying that she has no plans to go back on the show for now, as she's currently too busy raising Adora and Adler. With that said, Rachel is still certain that she'll go on to become the first two-time BB winner of all time at some point in the future. Another fan asked Rachel who her favorite houseguest was. She started out explaining that she felt obligated to say that it was Brendon or Elissa, but that her honest pick was Janelle Pierzina.
Later in the Instagram Q&A, the fans asked if Rachel would ever venture out of Big Brother to be on a competition like Survivor. Rachel replied that she would absolutely go on Survivor, adding that she'd love to do that show with either her sister Elissa Slater or her husband Brendon Villegas. When a fan asked if she considered Big Brother or The Amazing Race to be harder, Rachel said TAR is very physically demanding, but that BB is harder. She also remarked that Big Brother takes a much longer time to film, which is another tough element to deal with.
A lot of Big Brother fans would definitely love to see Rachel Reilly on a future season of the show. Hopefully, she'll feel ready to compete again sometime soon!
