#BB27 In 25 years of watching Big Brother, and 8 years of covering the show, I don’t think I’ve ever seen former players so unified around an elimination like this before.
Considering the wide swath of people who have competed on this show, to see this rally is unbelievable
#BB27 We’ve been invested in this season for nearly two months, and as a longtime fan it’s hard to put into words how I feel about last night. I’m not grieving Rachel being gone…I’m grieving the way she left. No houseguest this season deserved to exit like that…let alone the queen of Big Brother.
It could’ve happened to anyone, but after 60 days in the house, every HG deserves the same opportunities we’ve seen all season: at least the Blockbuster, a chance to campaign, and sometimes the Veto. Rachel didn’t get that.
I understand “expect the unexpected,” but changing how someone leaves the game just doesn’t sit right. Survivor, TAR, The Traitors…they wouldn’t send someone out this way. Even a house vote on whether she should stay or leave after the safety chain comp would’ve been (even slightly) more fair.
I’m heartbroken for Rachel and her family, but I’ll continue to update for the 16,000+ of you who love this game as much as I do. For those stepping back or boycotting, I completely understand. Hopefully production hears the feedback and reflects on how much this impacted the fans.

This whole thing has just left a bad taste in my mouth. A core part of the game is being sent out the door by eviction votes. It hits even harder when it’s a winner who was somehow doing the impossible and not even hitting the block.
Legend status forever.
Rachel Reilly.

It's genuinely so sad how my favorite show goes so far out of its way every single year to make itself worse and worse. They had such a good season on their hands and just actively decided to play roulette with it #bb27
I'm sorry, but every person that enters the Big Brother house should have to be evicted by a vote.
Being evicted by a twist, is lame as fuck.
How many other people in BBUS have been evicted by a stupid twist?
Let's not count first night evictees...
Shout out to Jodi & Glenn
This makes me mad, because
now I feel sorry for Rachel.
What a stupid way to be evicted...
But I will be looking forward to the family response and how the seasons ratings will plummet into the toilet
I'm gobsmacked. Rachel came back after 14 years. She was playing the best game she's ever played. She made it to jury without ever touching the block. She was the FRONTRUNNER. Gone. No eviction vote. No Blockbuster. No exit interview. Due to a twist. Fuck this awful show. #bb27
I'm livid re: Rachel. #BB27 I can imagine production or Julie saying "expect the unexpected" and to that I say "you hypocrite"! If you had eliminated Dan before Dan's Funeral--before his chance at manipulation and strategy--that's big brother HISTORY you've tampered with! #FAIL
