## Season History

**Rekha Udayakumar** is the winner of Big Brother 2 (US), and first competed on Big Brother Canada 1.

Known as a dominate player strategically, socially, and physically, Rekha entered the house with the mindset of playing like a lion, and making sure she has enough people to vote with her whenever she wants someone gone. During the 1st week of the game, she was known as the main causes of Jaime Coxx and Jessica Galvan's eviction. The next week, she managed to win the Power of Veto competition to save Marius Khalique from the block, however she only did it so she can show Marius that she can trust her during the season.

On Week 3, Rekha threw both the Head of Household and the Power of Veto competition to future winner, Ariana Silva, since she knew he wasn't going to nominate her, she later on caused DeAndre Knowles to be evicted from the house unanimously, the next week, Rekha won both the Head of Household and the Veto, and managed to get the house to evict Marius from the house due to his threat status. Rekha continued getting close bonds with several different houseguests.

During Week 5, she lost her ally Britt Herpes to a close 3-2 vote, however she didn't let it stop her from gaining some new allies during the Jury phase of the competition. Rekha managed to maintain a strong social and strategical game during the jury phase, causing almost every eviction in the jury phase (execpt Skylar Reddy's). Due to all of this she had a strong chance at winning the season.

However for Rekha, she was later on nominated for eviction on Week 8 by her close ally, Skylar. She failed to win the veto, leaving her a final nominee next to Brayden Prince. When it came time for the live vote and eviction, Rekha had one of the strongest speeches in the history of Big Brother, however it wasn't enough as Ariana decided to evict her over Brayden due to the whole Jury loving Rekha, making Rekha the 10th houseguest evicted and the fourth jury member.

Rekha was known as one of the best players in Big Brother history due to her strong gameplay and her jaw-dropping speech during the final 4, because of this she was later on invited to compete on Big Brother 2 (US) as a twist houseguest that entered during the Jury phase of the game.

Entering the Big Brother 2 (US) house once the Jury phase begun, Rekha managed to get along with a lot of the players despite joining the season later than the other players. She became one of the biggest powerhouses of Big Brother 2, due to her social skills and competition wins. Rekha decided to align with fellow BB2 player, Chantal Lovelace, and both started dominating the game together and making sure they kept each other safe.

Rekha was the cause of every single jurors eviction during Big Brother 2 (US), and later even evicted her own ally, Chantal, on the finale night due to her becoming a jury threat. During Rekha's stay she managed to tie with season 1 player, Shareeta Coudhury, for the most competition wins in one season, with 10. Due to this, plus her dominant gameplay, the jury gave her the win in a 9-0-0 vote against Luxx Shook and Henry Styles making Rekha the 2nd person in *Big Brother* history to play a Perfect Game.

Rekha also won the Fan Favorite award during Big Brother 2, making her the first person to win the Fan Favorite award twice, and the first winner to be crowned Fan Favorite. Rekha is also the most wealthiest winner, with winning a grand total of $1,465,000.
