The 41-year-old reality star made another surprise return during the CBS competition series’ season 28 premiere on Thursday night (July 9).

“Now I’m back, with a vengeance, ready to get that double crown,” she added.

Rachel‘s return, of course, brought shock and excitement to the rest of the cast on premiere night.

Fellow returning houseguest, Angela Murray, expressed in a confessional, “I did not expect Rachel, honestly. My mouth, you could pick it up off the floor. I don’t want to get paranoid, but she can build an army against me if she wanted to.”

This marks Rachel‘s fourth time on Big Brother, following her turn in season 12, winning season 13, and returning once again in BB27 as the mystery houseguest.

However, this time around, she didn’t last very long.

At the end of the episode, Rachel was quickly eliminated after being chased into a volcano by a velociraptor…

Prior to the season airing, CBS teased that “additional surprise houseguests will be revealed on air.” Could we see more BB alums returning??
