Big Brother 27: Janelle Pierzina Teases Rachel Reilly Is Returning To The Reality TV Show?

Big Brother 27 (BB27) is set to premiere for an all-new season on Thursday, July 10. CBS has not yet released the new cast, but social media and former cast members are busy making predictions about who could be on the show this summer.

Janelle Pierzina, a Big Brother legend, took to X to tease a major casting rumor. Her good friend, BB13 winner, Rachel Reilly, has been out of communication. Pierzina shared that Rachel is not the type to “leave her on read.” Even worse, Janelle said her calls are going straight to voicemail.

Big Brother’s Cast Release Coming Soon

Typically, Big Brother releases the casting photos, along with their bio videos, a few days before the premiere. With BB27 starting on Thursday, CBS should update the viewers with the casting scoop soon.

Dude I’ve called Rachel Reiley’s phone 10 times to chat about our next BB Cruise and it goes right to voicemail. Did she seriously not tell me that she’s going back into the Big Brother house?!??! That woman tells me everything!! #BB27

The Big Brother promo revealed a new house design, indicating that AI will likely be part of the game for the second consecutive summer. The promo also revealed there will be someone in the house who is difficult to get along with, and a BB legend will be part of the cast.

In another promo, CBS showed a fight between Rachel and Ragan Fos from Season 12. It was a tease for the viewers, considering the rumor of Rachel returning to the show.

Janelle’s Concern Turns Into A Wild BB Theory

Big Brother legend, Janelle Pierzina, shared her concern for her friend, Rachel. She indicated she has been calling her (over 10 times) to discuss their BB cruise set for early next year. She said the calls are going straight to voicemail.

“Dude, I’ve called Rachel Reiley’s phone 10 times to chat about our next BB Cruise, and it goes right to voicemail. Did she seriously not tell me that she’s going back into the Big Brother house?!??! That woman tells me everything!! #BB27,” Janelle shares on X.

One of her followers replied, “Maybe she went on vacation to Greece or something?” Janelle shot that notion down, stating, “She would tell me if she went on vacation. We talk once a week, at least.”

Most of the Big Brother fans don’t believe Rachel will be moving into the house this summer. The general consensus was that Janelle was stirring up drama to create buzz for the show. However, it is strange that Rachel suddenly went radio silent when Janelle called her.
