Big Brother sees there are some new occurrences with Rylie Jeffries targeting Katherine Woodman in the BB27 house – he’s been doling out some serious gaslighting. With the Wednesday and Thursday episodes ahead, I have to wonder if the curated CBS edit will ignore all the red flags to fit the showmance narrative that Julie Chen and production seem to be pushing.

Let’s get into the ick happening in the house and how Rylie’s upping the creep factor with Katherine. With no other showmances blossoming, I just wonder if CBS is clinging to this one even though it’s troubling. Also, we’ll look at how Mickey Lee‘s rewriting history and Zach Cornell‘s begging fans for help.

Big Brother 27: Rylie’s Red Flags Pile Up as Mickey Rewrites History

Let’s start with Rylie’s gaslighting and all the red flags – more red flags than a communist rally! In case you didn’t know it, Katherine’s mom died a year ago, and she told Rylie last night that she was really sad about it.

Katherine seemed to want some alone time. Of course, Rylie wasn’t having it and was all over her instead. Based on their interactions on the live feeds early this morning, fans think he was trying to leverage Katherine’s grief to get her into bed with him.

Then today, the Rylie ick factor escalated to a new level. Have you ever seen the movie Misery? If you have, you’ll know what I mean when I say he’s Katherine’s #1 fan…

Rylie’s Disturbing Quotes on BB27

They’re talking, and here’s how it goes – I’ll let you judge for yourself. These are exact quotes, no paraphrasing:

Rylie: “I’m being with you outside of this, whether you like it or not. I don’t care.”

Katherine: “What if we break up in here?”

Rylie: “We’re not going to, why would you even say that?” “You need to stop thinking about stuff like that.” “I’m going to marry you after this.”

Katherine: Not thrilled, not accepting the proposal, just a low-voiced “okay.”

Rylie: “I’m going to wake up next to you forever.”

If Katherine (who called herself in her package a raging feminist) is gaming Rylie hard to get ahead, I mean, I guess that’s a strategy. But since he’s a rodeo rider, I’ll quote the Breakfast Club: “You mess with the bull, you get the horns.”

Either way, whether Katherine’s using him or just trapped in a Big Brother hostage crisis, Rylie seems like a stage-three clinger, lust and rage-filled barnacle who’s attached himself to Katherine and will not let go.

My favorite comment today on X was a person comparing Rylie to Gollum with the ring, but Katherine’s his precious. Rylie is giving stalker!

Big Brother 27: Family Members Speak Out

Meanwhile, Katherine’s stepmom Tracy came out on social media and said Katherine’s “not into Rylie, it’s just for the show.” She said, “Not sure what life’s going to be like after BB27, but what I can tell you is Rylie will NEVER be my son-in-law. He’s not her type. JS.”

Someone else messaged Katherine’s stepmom worrying about Rylie’s “nasty temper,” and her stepmom may have been freaked out by what she’s been seeing with Katherine because she said she’s been “reassured by a show insider that production is on top of it. Let’s hope that’s true – I just want to hug her right now. This is so hard on all the families.”

Katherine’s aunt also spoke out, saying she knows her niece and “love is not in the air” with Rylie.

Also, if for some reason Rylie persists in stalking Katherine outside the show, she should know she’ll be a stepmom to two kids.

Rylie’s Real-World Drama

Rylie has one daughter by a woman he seems to have broken up with after October 2023, when I confirmed they were together for their daughter’s third birthday. By the way, you guys, if you didn’t know it, I’m an actual journalist, but I usually don’t deep dive into houseguests’ lives unless their behavior in the game warrants a closer look.

So Rylie’s first daughter should be turning five this fall. And he’s got a second daughter on the way with another woman he’s no longer with. That baby is due any minute now, if she’s not already been born. This second woman, Reagan, says Rylie’s only interested in drinking and chasing women.

Okay, enough on the creepy rodeo clown – I just hope we don’t see this on a true crime show a year from now or a ripped-from-the-headlines episode of Law and Order SVU!

Big Brother: Zach’s Desperate Fan Appeal

Also of interest on the live feeds, you’ll find out on tonight’s episode that Zach screwed up and didn’t play his $10K power to get off the block, which he had to play at the end of the veto meeting or he can’t play it this week. CBS confirmed it to Global TV.

I don’t know if Zach was being stupid or greedy, but after the veto ceremony, he realized it was a bonehead move. Then on the live feeds, he asked America to bail him out. As if what – we can call Allison Grodner and ask her to give him a pass? Plus, why is it the fans’ job to save Zach from his own dimwit behavior?

Another note about things fans can’t control – but would like to see happen – a recent poll shows BB27 watchers prefer to see Vince Panaro out on Thursday. Zach’s the second choice for evictee, and most don’t want Keanu Soto ejected from the Big Brother house.

Mickey’s Confrontation Tour on BB27

Also, Mickey spent Tuesday confronting others in the house, drawing a target on herself and terrorizing Morgan Pope. Then today, Mickey woke up and was back at it. Lauren Domingue was first on her list. What’s funny is Mickey was crap-talking Rachel Reilly all day yesterday.

So today, Morgan and Mickey were working out, and Rachel came into the gym and plopped herself on the exercise bike between them. Morgan offered to swap bikes, and Rachel’s like, “Nah, I’m good.” I feel like she’s deliberately being in their face, and I’m here for it!

After they left the room, Rachel said to the cams, “Yes, obviously I don’t like her, thank you.” However, Mickey’s not worked up the nerve to confront Rachel directly. It’s been all behind-her-back stuff all over the house.

It’s pretty funny that Mickey’s not figured out that chaos is Rachel’s comfort zone in Big Brother. So if Mickey does decide to come at her, it’s going to be World War III nuclear Rachel Reilly. And I’d be totally down to see who wins that fight!

Big Brother 27: Mickey’s Historical Revisionism

By the way, Mickey was crying Tuesday and talking about how she missed Jimmy Heagerty – the ally she intentionally and strategically blindsided as a renom on her HOH. Mickey was trying to reframe it that she sacrificed him for the team and blamed it on Morgan, saying Mickey let Jimmy go for Morgan.

Yet in the next breath, Mickey remains determined to get on a witch hunt to find that second vote to save Jimmy.

That’s it for now – we’ve got Big Brother tonight, a 90-minute episode! Then we’ll be back tomorrow with an update on where the votes lie, our eviction prediction, and the latest drama on the live feeds.
