Big Brother 13 Houseguest Profile: Rachel Reilly
July 12, 2011 |Brendon and Rachel, otherwise known as Brenchel, are the power couple of Big Brother 12and one of three “dynamic duos” brought back to compete against the eight new houseguests of Big Brother 13. This duo ruled the house for a number of weeks during their season and they are out to do it again in the new season.
Big Brother 13 Houseguest Profile: Rachel Reilly

Rachel Reilly, who was 26 when she was first cast on Big Brother 12, was a chemistry graduate student and cocktail waitress from Las Vegas, Nevada. We are pretty sure her cleavage has been either artificially enhanced or are the most fake-looking natural breasts we’ve ever seen. Rachel enjoys “painting, working out, doing anything outdoors… getting dressed up and going on dates.”

Rachel’s least favorite thing about living in the Big Brother house was “having your entire life televised.” To which, we said – Rachel, you do understand what reality television is, right? If you hate having your life “televised,” why the hell did you apply to be on the show? Considering that she has now come back for another season, we’re guessing having her life in the Big Brother house broadcast night and day wasn’t all that bad after all.
More Tidbits About Rachel Reilly
Rachel truly lived up to her strategy for winning Big Brother 12 right from the start. “I would hustle like I do at work when I get men to buy me champagne,” Rachel said before the season started. She certainly succeeded in hustling Brendon! Although, frankly, we think most of the rest of the guys in the house were not impressed much with Rachel’s… assets.
Rachel told Zap2it.com she planned on surprising “everyone in the Big Brother house with how smart I am.” At this point, we can say it would be pretty shocking if Rachel turned out to have more brains than she demonstrated during her run in the house. She may have been a science student, but she comes across as full of hot air in her head as well as her chest!
During Big Brother 12, Rachel was the center of 9/10ths of the drama going on in the Big Brother house while she was there. If there was some insanity going on, she was pretty much guaranteed to be in the middle of it. Seems like she is pretty much trying to continue that trend on Big Brother 13 as well.
Inside the Big Brother house on season 12, Rachel and Brendon proved to be a strong power couple in the house. Despite groans over their endless PDAs, Rachel’s whiny bitchiness and Brendon’s lack of spine, the couple managed to manipulate their way through quite a bit of the competition before finally getting the boot. Rachel pissed off seemed to piss off every single houseguest on a continuous basis during her stint on Big Brother 12. Often, Brendon seemed just as annoyed with her as everyone else even though they were getting it on after dark.

Sleuthing Rachel:
In addition to her student and waitress responsibilities, Rachel has done a fair bit of (somewhat tawdry) modeling along the way. Most of her “modeling” has involved wearing skimpy bikinis or other quite revealing clothing. Although, we did find some rather not-so-sleazy photos of Rachel (with normal hair!) here. She’s also a pageant girl like several other Housguests – sort of – though her pageant wins – like Ms. Planet Beach Nevada 2008 – usually involve thongs rather than crowns. (You can listen to an interview with Rachel about her win in that contest at PageantCast.com.)
Rachel, who hails from Concord, North Carolina originally, has a Facebook page here, where she now lists herself as engaged to Brendon Villegas, her season 12 cast-mate. She also has , as well as a Twitter page here.
According to her Facebook page, Rachel LOVES being on camera and being the center of attention, which is pretty evident from her run on Big Brother 12 and Big Brother 13 so far. Despite, of course, her being all about how she doesn’t want her entire life televised. Whatever. Rachel is also apparently is a fan of the Star Wars saga, The Big Bang Theory (TV show) and, somewhat surprisingly, Grist.org - a non-profit environmental journalist site we are fans of as well.
Rachel also had a profile page at RockSaga.com with a very saucy pic of herself in a gold bikini with her trademark flaming red locks. The profile was posted when she was 24 and claimed she was 123 lbs, had a 34D bust and a 24 inch waist at the time. We think that bust measurement has got to be off…
You can check out a whole slew of Rachel Reilly photos in various states of undress here- including several of her as a Sturgis girl posing with Aerosmith‘s Steven Tyler.
Unfortunately, Rachel’s ModelMayhem.com profile was removed last year – but it appears she did have one on that infamous D-List modeling site. Too bad, those are always interesting (and usually have very fun photos).
Interestingly, a Rachel Reilly is also listed on RateMyProfessors.com at the College of Southern Nevada as an “easy A” chemistry teacher who “never shows up on time” but is smoking in the “hotness” category. Graduate students do sometimes teach or assist and this description does seem to fit our BB Rachel.
Our Thoughts on Rachel:
We originally thought Rachel was going to be a pretty stereotypical more-boobs-than-brains girl and she never really disappointed. It’s obvious she planned to latch on to the first man she could get her claws into on the show in order to have an ally in the house. Brendon, unfortunately, was that man. We think Brendon might have been a favorite to win if not for Rachel, but we’re pretty sure his showmance with Rachel put the nail of doom in his coffin.
Rachel, we were pretty sure from the beginning, would use anyone and anything she could to get the top and stay there on Big Brother 12. We don’t think, however, she counted on nearly everyone in the house detesting the sight of her after only a few short weeks. She probably thought she could schmooze most of the guys in the house into liking her, but we doubt she would have stood a chance at that even if she hadn’t started snogging Brendon nearly immediately. Rachel isn’t subtle enough to play nice-nice with a bunch of people to stay safe.

After Big Brother 12 wrapped, Brendon and Rachel actually kept dating — as shocking as that seems. We really thought Brendon would get sick of her at some point and dump her. Well, he didn’t break up with her, but he DID sort of cheat on her. Not long after Big Brother 12, Brendon got caught having some naked penis cybersex with some chick online via Skype. Yet, despite his very public betrayal, Rachel forgave him after he posted a whiny apology video online where he cried like a baby. The two actually then got engaged on Valentine’s Day. Yuck!
We gave Rachel virtually no chance of winning Big Brother 12 right from the start and we never changed our minds. We were relatively sure she would stick around for a while because she’d hook up with someone very early on and have an alliance with them to hold her up. Unless something absolutely insane happened in the house, however, we never saw her making it much past mid-season. We were pretty right on with that one. Now we just have to see how far Rachel can manage to get her and her boy toy Brendon in the Big Brother 13 house!

Let’s not get overly flattering about Rachael being smarter than Jordan. Jordan is laid back and quiet. Just because she doesn’t flare up and get all hyper doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a game face. Let’s all remember what a loose cannon Rachael really is. Jordan has calmed her down since Brendon has been evicted. Part of the game, friends. I am glad to see Rachael be a real person. She doesn’t live being “real” most of the time in the house.
Go Rachel!!! I hope you & Jordan make to the final 2……
I think J&R are going to be final two. After watching BB after dark it appeared as if Rachel had won HOH.
EVERYTHING ABOUT RACHEL MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH! ” JUST SAYING” WHAT A WHINEY BOBBLEHEAD!
Rachel, You have made a real change for the better -never thought I would say that! Keep it up! Much more becoming.
I have been following with BB Live for the first time this season and am hooked – be glad when the season is over -I need to get back to my housework!
Hope you or Jordan or Adam win. Good luck.
Hi .. I love to see Jordan and rachel.. This one as change so much.. more calm because Jordan is confort her … I like Adam to… So .. the best would win.
Omg!!!! I LOVE Rachel!!!!!! She Is My Favorite On Big Brother!!! <3. I Hope She Wins(:
Was Rachel ever on Jerry Springer? This had to be years ago.
I love rachel and jordan together! I love the way rachel has changed sence being friends with jordan, and I love the new jordan also, she joins in talking and laughing and joking. The two are really good for each other, hope they stay friends. I want them as the final two. love you both
Have you noticed how Rachael is whiny and menstrual when she is with Brendon and since he left she has taken on a whole different persona with Jordan? I think Jordan earned 500K just making that happen. She has been a good influence. (on everybody)
I agree things are alot better between them since there men are gone But i do think they make great couples…….I just hope Kalia is gone next i can’t stand to her her talk……
I watched Sunday nights Showtime. I thought I would scream at my TV at Kalia to shut the F*** up and stop talking with your mouth full! Her incessant yammering is making me violent. I think it is having the same effect on everyone else, except Porch, who reminds me of a zombie.
I think Rachel is a total BITCH she thinks her —- don’t stink and I wish she would of never been back on Big Brother
find something else to say.. rachel is one of the best player ever on on BB. Mayebe everyone does not like her,but she is a good player
I think Rachel is a total Bitch she should of never been on the Big brother
no she is not
I can’t stand that girl and especially her laugh
Hope she looses I would rather have Jordon than Rachel
I would like 2 see Jordon win again, & either Rachel or Brendon win the 25,000… It could go nice toward their wedding…
I really like jordan. But if you go by who played the best game its Rachel. Jordan won 1 HOH and only because they let her (Jeff & Brendon) I wish Jeff would win the 25,000.
Rachel has come a long way in attitude and likeability from last season. Just be careful, R, – from what I have seen this season B has done a lot of scolding and scolding and scolding – his apologies mean nothing if he keeps talking down to you. I don’t think you have to put up with that from anyone!
I agree, Peg. She needs to drop Brendon. He has some self esteem and control issues. I think he is neurotic to the core! I feel kind of sorry for Rachael’s insecurities and think they are due to Brendon’s treatment. She has come a long way since last BB and even the beginning of #13. But, only after Brendon left the house and she became aligned with Jordan.
dear rachel
i love you.you r the person how i would love you to be in my family. and i hope one day i could mean you. and if big brother whats people to vote i will vote for u every time (only good things). love you
Rachel, I watched the show 9/8/11,(I’ve actually watched every show) been watching live feeds. So proud of the way you have grown this season, great to see you and Jordan build a friendship. Your going around in circles right now with Porsche, watching on live feed and you’ve got this, hang in there.
They can’t watch the feeds while in the house, or read these postings.
It’s nice to see Rachel playing with less of the emotional baggage of Brendon on her back. Her emotional attachment to him last season did her in because she was a strong competitor. Now that he is gone, she is much more level headed, it seems anyway. Rachel, even though you cant hear me or see this, take Adam to the final and then you’ll win it, unless Danielle votes petty and gives it to someone that doesnt deserve just because she hates you so much. P.S. I hope yours and Brendons wedding is broadcasting!
rachel, you are absolutly one of the best people to ever play big brother, thank you for the ride. you look stunning by the way, screw the haters. they wish! good luck.
I agree RACHEL is the best player of all times, even better than evil Dick.Play it to the end girl and good luck
agreeeeed!lool
Posted on You have bruoght up a very fantastic details , appreciate it for the post. The great object is, that every man be armed. Every one who is able may have a gun. by Patrick Henry.
I think BB is rigged this year.The clear winner is Rachel.They made it every way possible for her to win.
I don’t think they can rig those shows. I think Rachael should win now that Jordan is gone. And, I am hoping that Adam takes her to the final two. Porche certainly doesn’t deserve to go. But, Adam is such a wimpy guy when it comes to making a decision and might be easily swayed by Porche. He flipped and flopped all summer. Follower. Ashamed. Only one of the better players left.
I was a fan of Rachel last season and of course loved Jeff and Jordan in their season, so I was excited to see them back in the house. I have been so pissed off all season long though watching people blame things on Rachel that she wasnt doing. She stayed true to her alliance and played hard for her and Jordan. I am So Proud of you Rachel !!!! You have played extremely hard this season and deserve to win that money and plan your dream wedding. you are an amazing competitor and should be prould of the game you have played and making it to the final 3. I do however have you in my prayers and will be watching anxiously on finale night.
I have been voting for Jordan to get the $25 grand. She deserves it for so many reasons. She is a decent person – one who anyone would like to know. She supported R all season and helped her get to the end of the game. It hurts me that Shelly turned out so badly and did so much harm – hope J can put it in perspective and see Shelly for what she really is – a horrible person, mother, and wife. She deserves all the pain she feels when she watches this season of BB. However S will find an excuse for everything she did – and try to whitewash herself to her family and (friends???)
Hope R wins – she deserves it. Porche (even her name is fake) has been a compulsive showoff all season taking every chance to ‘preen’ herself in front of Adam. I will hate it if she wins.
Peg, I couldn’t agree more. If Porche was my daughter, I would have been disappointed and embarrassed to death. However, a daughter I raised wouldn’t dream of cheapening herself to behave in such a manner. I think most of them behaved badly, except Jordan. Her family should be proud with the way she conducted herself during this summer. I would be.
Ommmg, i love Racheaaal. Screew all the HAAATERS. Everyones jelous of her caause we all know shes gunna win! Shes THE BEST competitor ANYONNe has seeen. GO RAcheal, yooou deserve it ALLL/ girl.
I have grown to like Rachel this season. Was she always perfect this season? No, but she’s not as bad as she was last year. I think the REAL Rachel showed when Brendan left for good in his second eviction. Rachel had to change her whole thinking and gameplay, and it changed for the better. Rachel lacks social game sometimes and comes off bitchy to others, especially since she’s such a competitor, and that’s what turns everyone off, but she changed that, and I can appreciate that in her. For everyone wanting her gone, she fought really hard this season, and I think she rightfully deserves to win, so much more then Adam and Porsche. Rachel fought for both her and Jordan, and I thought that was so nice of her. Rachel had the muscle to win, and Jordan had the social game, and it was nice to see them paired together. Who would have thought the sweet girl and the fire cracker would have been friends in the house? Rachel definitely played a better game without Brendan, and you can also see a decent Rachel when Brendan isn’t around. They seem like a nice pair, but watching Brendan sometimes talk down to her, it just felt so wrong and I felt bad for her. Plus, Brendan has a wondering eye. There were rumors of him having eyes for Dani, and lets not forget those nasty pics of him cybering with another girl. Rachel seems to have a really kind heart, and I think she means well, and it must say something for her to be friends with Ragan, Matt and Kristin, the ones that hated her the most in the house during her season. Ragan is even going to be part of her wedding ceremony. I guess what we sometimes see inside the BB house, isn’t what it always appears to be.
My bestfriend look exactly like her!!
Nooooooooooo I don’t!!!!!
Yes Took I agree she is the only one left that even comes close to deserving to win.
And she does play a much better game without Brandon around.
I think he kept her from thinking straight at times.
Nothing against their relationship But the only thing they really do good together is a computation………
But I do wish them luck if they Love each other it is just best to wish them luck it is their decision to make………
Brandon is a great lucking man .
Adam & Porsche don’t deserve to win………their game was full of lets kiss ass to who is in HOH………
Back biters & back Stabbers is all they are good at……..And Shelly was the worst…………
Adam just wants to look at Porsche, have you noticed how red he gets when she smiles at him?
In the real world a Man like Adam would not have a chance to even be seen or talk to a Women like Porsche.
She is the type of B- – - – that would stick her nose up in the air & put her Ass in his face as she walks away laughing………….and we all know it………..
They are both fools in this game………..
Hey, Blue…Tits and ass do not a hottie make. And, that is coming from a woman who knows the difference. Are you a guy? Because you write like one. Just an observation. Agree with you on all other counts.
No dear Im far from a man. Im a Women that has been through and seen it all!!! And if you don’t see what i do and many others then you are blind……
Sorry. Then you must be learning to speak and write english. Keep it up. It will get easier.
When Rachel is answering the jury members’ questions, I hope she thinks, “How would Jordan answer?” Also she needs to act the way Jordan would act. A little humility and a few soft spoken words might sway the votes of the women who just need a reason to turn in her direction. In the jury house I wonder if Shelly has awakened to see her insanity yet? She is capable of changing in a snap if the source of information inspires her to do so.
Who knows! And, you are absolutely correct about Rachel. I hope she watches her attitude and mouth. If she does that, she can’t loose. I don’t think anyone but Dani and Kalia will vote for Porch. Don’t expect Adam will get any. Maybe a sympathy vote from someone. As for Shelley, she is the biggest looser. I hope her mother hasn’t watched the show!
I would not pee on Rachel if she was on fire
i’m sure she wouldn’t let you get that close to her even if she was on fire. She is way to good for your likes?????????
YEAH RACHEL GIRL WAY TO GOOOOOOOO. PART3 HOH!!!
THATA GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!! KICK SOME ASS……
I may not be the biggest Rachel fan, but that picture makes her look hot!!!
Im so Happy for you Rachel.
You worked for every bit of what you have won Enjoy being the winner of Big Brother…2011 You & Brandon enjoy your life together…… You both are a cute couple…..
And I can tell you both really love each other.
People want to complain that BB desont know what they are doing, that the game is fixed ect. First of all the game isnt fixed, second BB knows exactly what they are doing, and third bringing back brenchel was golden. Its all about the ratings and comments people, and there ratings are soaring the chat forms are loaded with comment after comment. Yes there are alot of people who dont like brenchel however they are the most watched and talked about HGs this season and last season. People always want to hate on Rachel and make comments like this is the worst season and so forth, but yet there were 310 hits on u-tube in the first 15 minutes of her peeing on live tv. People are always asking where she is if they dont see her on screen or what is she doing or what is she saying what is she wearing an so on. For someone who is so hated she is the most talked about person in the BBH. So that tells me BB@cbs knows exactly what they are doing cause people cant stop watching or talking about the most hated HGs.
Congrats Rachel. I knew you could win. Best of luck on your marriage, hope you have a grand wedding with your winnings. Thanks for making BB an interesting summer.
Never in a zillion years did I think I would be pulling for Rachel – but YEEEEESSS!! Congratulations Girl – you deserve it!!! Have a WONDERFUL wedding!
Mel & Rob you both have the mind of a child…..so you must be..Im glad this year is over for BB for i don’t have to weed through post like yours……your not worth it…..
Hey, Blue….Hope I still have the mind of a child when I want it to come out! And, kiss my white Texas ASS!
Rachael, you are a winner, in more ways than one. I was so glad to see your attitude change for the better. That is what made the difference between winning and loosing. Don’t bother with the bitter, sour grapes people. They are just blindly jealous! Have a great life. Hope to see you and Brendon on BB All Stars! Best wishes. oxoxoxox
i love rachel i act like her i dress like her i do my hair like her and talk and laugh like her
I have hated Rachel SO much since last summer, so much that it surprised me. I kept saying, up to the finale night, that if she won I would never watch again. But then last night I actually cried when she won. It was crazy! She was just so vulnerable and nervous, and you could tell that it hurt her when nasty comments were made. And she was the only one there with NO family or friends in the audience. It’s clear she doesn’t have an easy life, and she probably needed that money the most. (They showed her apartment at the beginning of BB12 and it was pretty bad.) So, I am pulling for her now and I’m actually thrilled that she won!
I think they showed her family?? a sister, mom and dad
Did they? Good, that made me sad.
If you didn,t get to see “The Talk” show today, you missed another win for Rachel. Brendon was there, too, in the audience. She won a trip which she said would be a honeymoon.
Sorry I missed her interviews. The reaction of her win was so priceless. But, the reaction of Adam was too. He is such a looser.
Rachael, you grew up! Congratulations! You deserve a happy life. I hope that Brendon appreciates you! Hugs and best wishes. Mel
This change in Rachel for the better may actually make her unattractive to Brendon. It all depends on how much he needs to be constantly hyper-vigilant to Rachel’s behavior. If he wants an independent woman in his life, then this change can be for the better for both people. Time will tell.
Rachel and Brendon have decided to tie the knot in Las Vegas this weekend. What a week for Rachel!!! What is next? Maybe there was a bun in the oven. Who knows?
If Brendon is getting financial aide for his education, it would be dollars and cents wise for them to put off their marriage until Brendon is drawing an income. Getting through med school is not cheap. Getting help every way you can will keep the best peace in a marriage. Rachel may want to get an advanced degree so she can fall back on her education in the event that their relationship doesn’t hold up for the “ever after” picture. Being young has it’s perks and it’s downfalls. Time is the best measure of success. Living together without being married is more acceptable than ever and has a lot going for it these days.
This article makes Brendons comments in sesaon 12 about the vote to evict racheal being a ‘witch hunt’ not sound so stupid.
How do you like her now? at least a bunch of the comments here are pro rachel……
your boobs are big amd boys dont like you. get a life.p.s you suck
