Big Brother Season 27‘s latest episode had a trick up its sleeve in the form of the White Locust twist, which ultimately led to the elimination of veteran Rachel Reilly. The sudden twist, which saw the contestant get eliminated through a surprise challenge and not through the standard elimination process, left many fans disappointed. In a recent interview, Reilly opened up about her departure and called it “extremely frustrating.”
Rachel Reilly says getting eliminated from Big Brother by a twist ‘was really frustrating’
Rachel Reilly is not new to Big Brother. So, when she came in, she had massive expectations. To add to that, Reilly did quite well throughout the season. But this new episode served up a surprise that few had expected.
In the latest challenge, participants had to solve a puzzle within a given time. Then, they had to pick who goes next. Each contestant got a minute less to complete the challenge. By the time Reilly had the chance, she only had three and a half minutes and couldn’t finish the challenge withint that time.
“Yeah, so being eliminated by a twist in a hamster wheel, it was really frustrating. I felt that if I would’ve had a chance to talk my way out of something or have another shot to win another competition, maybe I could have,” Rachel told Entertainment Weekly. “I think when I originally saw the hamster wheel of death, as we like to call it, I just freaked out a little bit and unfortunately I wasn’t able to pull it through.”
When asked about her gameplay till that point, Reilly shared, “Yeah, it is extremely frustrating to play such a good game all season, and I truly feel that I set myself up for this jury.” She continued, “I made this whole jury of people that would’ve voted for me.” Reilly also spoke about the relationships she’d established “to strategically play this game and to navigate through the game in a better way that I feel that I ever played Big Brother before.”
