Rachel Reilly<\/a><\/strong>has found a way to survive another wild twist in the Big Brother<\/em><\/a> franchise.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m here. I\u2019m alive. That was a crazy experience,\u201d Rachel, 41, shared via Instagram<\/a> on Thursday, July 9, after making a surprise appearance on the CBS reality show\u2019s season 28 premiere. \u201cNow, I can officially say that I have never been evicted from the Big Brother<\/em> house for two seasons in a row.\u201d<\/p>\n During Thursday\u2019s premiere, host Julie Chen Moonves<\/strong> surprised the contestants by announcing Survivor<\/em>\u2019s Rick Devens<\/a><\/strong> and Big Brother<\/em> alum Angela Murray<\/strong>would be joining the show.<\/a><\/p>\n In another twist, Rachel also entered the house to participate in a challenge. Ultimately, her visit was cut short when she was pushed by a velociraptor into a volcano to her fiery death. (A new reality TV legend is expected to take her spot in an upcoming episode.)<\/p>\n \u2018Big Brother\u2019 Alumni Speak Out After Rachel Reilly\u2019s Controversial Elimination<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cSo, the volcano was extremely hot,\u201d Rachel said after the show. \u201cIt was much better than the White Locust because that was horrible. But I will say, once you hit the volcano, you just evaporate. You\u2019re good. No big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n Rachel \u2014 who won season 13 in 2011 \u2014 is no stranger to the game. She first competed in season 12, where she met her husband, Brendon Villegas<\/strong>. The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, took their talents to The Amazing Race<\/em> that same year.<\/p>\n The reality TV star also competed on season 27, but was sent to the jury house after failing to complete the White Locust challenge in time.<\/p>\n After Thursday\u2019s season premiere, Julie reflected on seeing a beloved cast member return to the show.<\/p>\n \u201cRachel Reilly RIP. Only the good die young. But then again\u2026 knowing Rachel Reilly, she probably has made the lava her minions, faked her own death, had Brendon in the dinosaur suit, and is coming back for revenge on Angela for celebrating her demise,\u201d Julie, 56, joked to Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a> in an interview published Friday, July 10. \u201cAlthough one must always expect the unexpected in the BB World, in Rachel Reilly\u2019s world, you should always expect her to somehow get the last laugh!\u201d<\/p>\n
