I’m Not Usually A Fan Of Former Big Brother Houseguests Returning To The Game, But Season 27 Is Changing My Mind

It’s solely week three, and Big Brother Season 27 has been a multitude. I imply that in one of the simplest ways. We’ve seen sporadic sport play, staged and actual fights, and beautiful robes. So many pretty robes. One of many important individuals bringing drama and mess is Rachel Reilly.

We knew we might count on this from such an iconic participant like Rachel. Nevertheless, I wasn’t anticipating her to vary my opinions on returning gamers. I will probably be frank, I hate returning gamers — not them as individuals, simply the concept of placing somebody again in the home who performed earlier than.

That is an opinion I developed from years of seeing comparable storylines play out on the Big Brother Stay Feeds and the episodes. Even when it’s a participant I like, I don’t need to see them again… properly, I didn’t till this season.

Rachel Being On The Present Reminds Me That Returning Gamers Can Nonetheless Be Enjoyable In The Proper Circumstances

Nevertheless, Big Brother 27 has actually endeared me to this model of Rachel. It’s additionally made me admire and recognize her love story with Brendon. Listening to her discuss her life with him and their love story exhibits how deep their connection is and was. I might solely study to understand it now, listening to the way it has stood the check of time. It’s a real-life romantic film.

It’s Not The Rachel Present

One other factor that always bothers me about returning gamers in a sea of newbies is that the newbies typically turn out to be background characters to the vet. Rachel is a serious presence on Big Brother 27, however she’s not the one one occupying quite a lot of display screen time. There are such a lot of large personalities and gamers who need to be seen.

If Rachel is evicted, the season received’t battle to search out new characters to deal with, as a result of there are many them. I do know gamers like Jimmy, Kelley, Keanu, Ava, and Vince simply in addition to Rachel as a result of they’ve been featured on the episodes loads. And as an avid Stay Feeds watcher, I do know the individuals stirring the sport like Mickey, Zach, and Morgan, even when they are not featured as a lot on the present.

Big Brother 27 has felt balanced when it comes to highlighting Rachel as a serious determine and never ignoring these new vital gamers. It’s giving the newbies a highlight simply as a lot as it’s Rachel. The identical can’t at all times be stated in comparable seasons with one or a couple of vets and a bunch of recent gamers.

I Am Not assured Rachel Will Make It Far Or Win

Nearly each season of Big Brother and Big Brother Canada that has included returning gamers has had a returning participant within the finale. Yearly, the houseguests make the error of letting the returning participant keep too lengthy and find yourself being betrayed by them.

In addition they discover themselves extra pawns within the vet’s sport than truly orchestrating a lot. This may occasionally not precisely be the case this season. Many of the Big Brother 27 houseguests need to hold Rachel round till jury begins, however to not the top.

Rachel additionally hasn’t been profitable competitions but. Due to this fact, it looks as if she could also be on the mercy of different houseguests as a result of she can’t take management with competitors wins. Moreover, not like with earlier seasons, these houseguests appear very conscious that Rachel is a risk who mustn’t make it to the top.

In week one, Zae additionally known as out Rachel for desirous to be the primary two-time Big Brother winner. As a result of individuals know the way a lot she needs that title, they might not give it to her out of spite. So even when Rachel makes it to finale night time, her win doesn’t appear assured. Rachel already looks as if she may have a tough highway to victory, which exhibits this season could not observe the identical sample as previous seasons with vets. That makes it extra enjoyable to look at.

I Respect Her Love For The Sport And Present, And It Makes Me Respect Her Extra

Like most Big Brother followers, I’ve a love-hate relationship with the sequence. Nevertheless, I actually am that annoying fan who doesn’t get pleasure from watching individuals play who don’t respect and love the sport. The Big Brother casting group appears to have shifted its focus from superfans to primarily recruited gamers. These gamers typically don’t know the historical past of the present, nor care to study it. Some simply need their quarter-hour of fame. Some even don’t need to win the cash. These gamers frustrate me.

Rachel is so refreshing to look at on Big Brother 27 as a result of she has skilled the present twice earlier than and loves and respects the sport and expertise. She will not be essentially the most strategic Big Brother participant of all time, however she’s enthusiastic about it. And generally that’s sufficient. It’s sufficient to simply care concerning the sport, need to play it, and make the present entertaining.

Seeing Rachel’s love for the sport is a pleasure to look at, and seeing the way it’s inspiring among the gamers who had been perhaps unfamiliar with the present earlier than to search out their ardour for it.

I’m nonetheless conflicted on the subject of returning gamers on Big Brother (besides in a restricted format), but when they provide the sequence the identical vitality and leisure as Rachel, I’ll gladly welcome them.
