White Locust Twist Removes Rachel Reilly on ‘Big Brother 27’ as Timed Maze Upends the Game

The producer-devised format bypassed nominations and a vote, intensifying questions about the show’s fairness.

Overview

  • Tuesday’s episode confirmed Rachel Reilly was sent to the jury after failing a timed maze challenge that replaced the usual eviction process.
  • Alum Tyler Crispen returned as the Mastermind’s concierge to unveil the White Locust event, where Ava Pearl first won safety.
  • Ava selected Vince Panaro to start the chain, which proceeded to Lauren Domingue and Morgan Pope before Rachel attempted the maze with 3:30 on the clock and fell short.
  • The format gave the first competitor 6:30, reduced one minute per subsequent player, and awarded Head of Household to the fastest finisher.
  • Backlash intensified as live feeds had foreshadowed the twist ahead of the delayed Tuesday broadcast; former players including Brendon Villegas, Janelle Pierzina, and Evel Dick Donato criticized the move, and CBS says the Power of Veto airs Wednesday with Julie Chen Moonves interviewing Rachel during Thursday’s live eviction.
