Big Brother 27’s first fight broke out on the live feeds last night ahead of the show’s first live eviction of the summer, leaving BB legend Rachel Reilly going toe to toe with one nominee, who may have just ended their game. Throughout BB history, fights have bubbled up between houseguests. Rachel’s no stranger to a fight, but her first in years was shocking.
During the early hours of the morning on Thursday, July 17, Rachel and Isaiah “Zae” Frederich got into a verbal spat that left the house reeling. After Rachel confronted Zae and Keanu Soto for talking about going after her, Rachel ruffled Zae’s feathers by giving him a quick “game on” and sparked a massive argument in front of the house.
Zae, who’s currently nominated for eviction, was on the receiving end of some incredible lines from Rachel, who started things off quickly by warning him, “I’d be careful coming for the Queen. You will get beheaded,” and following it up with, “You wanna act like a child & come for me, I hope you can back it up.” Flabbergasted, Zae had minimal response.

While Zae was flustered, he tried to have a conversation wherein he rehashed their argument in private to a mostly unresponsive Rachel. When she didn’t give him an apology or answers he liked, Zae probed, to which Rachel responded that she was bored and moved on. With the vote looming, Zae’s behaviour may have cost him his BB game.
Zae tells Rachel he will potentially nominate her.

Zae, who was shown to have used a slur in the Big Brother house and has since used that same slur again, has been openly talking about nominating whoever votes against him in the eviction. Rachel, who’s been campaigning for her ally Amy Bingham to stay in the game, would be one of those votes against Zae, should he still be on the block.
While Zae wasn’t necessarily saying Rachel’s name, he also wasn’t refuting the idea of going after her throughout the week to others, which trickled back to the BB legend. Rachel’s particularly sensitive about her experience, and while she’s been doing well socially this BB season, in the past, Rachel hasn’t been a well-versed social game player, instead relying on competitions.
With Rachel’s social game having shifted, things are changing for the BB legend. After the fight, Rachel retreated and took some time for herself, while Zae over-talked to the majority of the house about what happened, making things awkward. It’s likely that if Zae remains on the block for eviction, his actions and reaction will cause others to evict him without much thought.
