Big Brother’s Rachel Reilly Reveals How She’s Preparing for ‘Survivor’ Just in Case: ‘My Dream’ (Exclusive)
After competing on Big Brother and The Amazing Race, Rachel Reilly now has her eyes set on another CBS reality show.
“Yes, I would love to do Survivor,” Rachel, 41, exclusively shared with Us. “That’s, like, oh my gosh, my dream. I talk about it all the time with my husband Brendon [Villegas].”
Both Rachel and Brendon, 46, competed on season 12 of Big Brother in 2010. Although they came into the game as complete strangers, they fell in love while filming and are now married with two kids.
“Brendon is in the process of teaching me how to get a really good fire going,” Rachel shared with Us. “What else did you say you’re going to work on with me?”
Brendon replied, “Eating one handful of rice a day. Building a shelter.”
Although Rachel is confident that she knows “how to do that,” her husband of more than 10 years remains doubtful.
“OK, let’s see,” he said with a laugh. “Hey, we’re in Alabama. We got plenty of stuff to practice with out here. Surviving mosquitoes for 10 minutes.”
During the season 28 premiere of Big Brother, host Julie Chen Moonves revealed Survivor alums Dee Valladares and Rick Devens would be competing this summer.
While Rachel made a surprise appearance on the July 9 episode, her visit was cut short when she was pushed by a velociraptor into a volcano and, ultimately, her fiery death.
Back home in Alabama, Rachel and her husband make quite the team as they raise their two kids. While Brendon may be considered the “fun” parent, Rachel said she is likely the “strict” and “mean” one.
“Brendon’s a really good dad,” she told Us. “I’m so lucky. I love watching him with the kids.”
Brendon added, “It’s really fun. We love being parents. It’s really cool because you get to relive all of your favorite things that you got to do growing up and do it with the kids.”
When asked about a return to reality TV, Brendon said he has his hands full working full-time as a medical physicist. If his wife got the call to compete in a show, however, he’d make it work.
“She’s made me be a soccer coach. She was signed up to be a soccer coach, and then she went on Traitors and was like, ‘Oh yeah, hey, can you take over the soccer?’” Brendon recalled. “I was like, ‘You went to one game, and you’re making me coach the entire season.’”
Big Brother airs on CBS Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.
