Rachelle

**Rachelle** is a houseguest on *Big Brother 18: Blood vs. Water 2* and *Big Brother 22: Second Chances*.

In *Blood vs. Water 2*, similar to the previous cycle, Angela was on the outs of an ironclad alliance that intended to get Final Three together from the beginning of the season. Victor won HOH, and he nominated her alongside his ally Joseph as a pawn, but also to stay loyal to his overall allegiance to Rachelle. For the fourth straight time in a row, Angela won the POV, and saved herself with it, forcing the majority alliance to turn on each other yet again. Rachelle went up in her place, and after thinking of his gameplay and decisions throughout the season, Joseph realized he had been on the bottom within his alliance with Rachelle and Victor. Because of this, he worked on Angela to not only save him over Rachelle, but even potentially form a Final Two deal; he figured that if he got to the Final Three with her and Victor, he’d ensure his spot in the Final Two regardless of who won because they both would take him. Angela was successfully convinced, agreed with the deal, and used her sole vote to evict Rachelle, making her the eight jury member.

In *Second Chances*, the two houses merged into one in Cycle 5, and Derek went on to win the first HOH of the new dynamic. He preferred to keep his former House 1 housemates safe because he already knew of their dynamics, so that left Amadeus, Blaineley, Brielle, Bruce, Choco, Finnegan, Josiah, Lacey, and Rachelle to be considered for nomination. Not too long into Derek’s HOH reign, Blaineley immediately spilled her former house’s dynamics: *BB17* alums Brielle, Finnegan, and Josiah were at war, and formed counter-alliances against each other; Brielle and Josiah had the support of Lacey and Rachelle while Finnegan was closely aligned with Amadeus and Bruce. Later on, the dueling rivals confirmed exactly what Blaineley exposed: Brielle and Josiah campaigned for Finnegan’s eviction, and Finnegan did the same for them; they all threw each other under the bus. Through all of the chaos and friction, Derek realized the benefit of keeping them all around, as they won’t be targeting him for a while. He regrouped with Blaineley, and they formed an allegiance to each other; they were going to play the middle and pit the two sides against each other. At the nomination ceremony, Derek ultimately nominated one person from both sides: Bruce for Finnegan, and Rachelle for Brielle and Josiah. They were both all around threats to Derek, so he was fine with either going. The alliances meanwhile were up in arms about the nominations and going into the POV competition talked with the rest of the house about plans for the future. Through this, Finnegan gained the support of Garrison and Joanna while Rachelle’s social game allowed her to gain allegiances from Kimberely, Simon, and Thomas. At the POV competition, Blaineley ended up winning, and ultimately didn’t use it in order to not cause any further waves. Going into the eviction, both nominees and their allies campaigned to stay, and eventually it came down to Bryant as the swing vote; the rest of the voters were adamant of their friend staying while the middle ground players like Blaineley and Choco chose to keep Bruce around in order to even up the number of the alliances. While Bryant was distrustful of Finnegan, since his closest ally Garrison was firmly on his side, Bryant ultimately decided to vote with him in order to maintain Garrison's trust and keep Finnegan from targeting him. In the end, Rachelle was evicted in a very close 7-6 vote.
