It seems Rachel Reilly Villegas can’t play Big Brother without a fierce rivalry, and season 27 is proving no different. Known for her explosive confrontations in past seasons, Rachel’s iconic feud with Ragan Fox still makes the highlight reels of Big Brother’s greatest fights. So far, she’s been living up to that reputation once again.
While Rachel’s ongoing clashes with Keanu have been grabbing attention on the live feeds, the real tension might be brewing elsewhere, with Ashley.
Rachel and Ashley both share a close connection to Amy, who is central to their dynamic. As Amy’s two closest allies, Rachel and Ashley find themselves in a subtle yet persistent tug-of-war over influence. While many assume Rachel and Amy are an inseparable pair, Amy often appears more in sync with Ashley, which has quietly fueled the friction.
Ashley approaches Big Brother 27 with confidence and a sense of ease, almost as if she’s mastered the game already. This self-assurance often leads her to dismiss Rachel’s suggestions or strategic input, something that irks Rachel. Their power struggle over Amy has only intensified this mutual irritation.

Ashley’s blunt personality and unwillingness to sugarcoat her opinions have also rubbed other houseguests the wrong way. Minor things, like her refusal to help clean the bathroom, have only added to the tension building around her.
So while Keanu and Rachel might provide the fireworks, the more complex and strategic rivalry could be between Rachel and Ashley, and it may have long-term implications for how the rest of the season plays out.
As the game progresses, the house may be forced to pick sides — especially if Amy finds herself caught in the middle. Whether this tension explodes into a full-blown rivalry or remains a slow-burning power clash, it’s clear that the Rachel vs. Ashley dynamic is one to watch closely in the weeks ahead.
