Rachel Reilly was the fifth person evicted from the "Big Brother 12" house, becoming the first member of the jury. She talks to Zap2it about why she was such a target and her relationship with Brendon.Why do you think you were such a target? Was it more of being a strong player or more of a personality clash?
It was being a strong player with a strong personality. I think they were scared of me as a competitor.
If you could go back in time, would you do anything differently?
No - I have no regrets about the game. I fought really hard and I tried my best. I obviously did what I could.
Who do you think will be coming into the jury house next? Why?
If Brendon didn't win HOH than I think it will be him. I think the whole house is gunning for him. He is an easy target. Why would they want to turn their backs on each other when they don't have to yet?
Who do you WANT to come to the jury house next? Why?
Ragan because I want him out of the game NOT because I want him in the Jury house with me.
Who are you rooting for (other than Brendon, obviously)?
If Enzo competes more than Enzo. I like Enzo. I like his game. I just want to see him compete and fight more. I also respect Matt. He got me out but I respect his game. I'll have to wait and see how it plays out.
Any message to your fans?
Thank you! Thank you! I tried really hard to fight for the fans to give them a good show and to win this competition.
"Big Brother" airs Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday nights at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Rachel...you're a skeezy ***** (please see above picture for clarification).
You are not only ugly on the outside, but your facade of a ditzy girlie girl makes you ugly on the inside as well.
Wake up, or you'll continue to be the laughing stock of society.
You did fight very hard Rachel, good job, don't let bad opinions get to you, it's their opinion. Some people don't understand for this game, you gotta do what you had to do especially when they all turn on you. Keep your chin up, you did really well! Also, go easy with the over the top jealousy when it comes to other "people" talking to your man. Be understanding and know that Brendon loves you. I would like to hear from you and what you think about the brigade once you find out, k? Good Luck to you in your future.
Rachel, you may have fought hard but you didn't fight smart. You openly made a showmance, you ruined strategic moves (like when you used matt as a pawn) cause you're gullible, you made enemies purely out of personal issues: ex. I don't see how kristen was a threat to you and immediately saw her as one when you found out about her showmance. You like to act snobby when you have power and you pretty much annoy the hell out of everyone. You were blissfully unaware of what you did to make everyone turn on you and I'm glad you're out of the competition. No offense, just pointing out what everyone else knows and I don't want to be like the other people who are on your side just because not everyone else is doing isn't. Everyone else isn't for a reason. P.S. Stop saying you fought hard like everyone else didn't cause they tried their best in each competition and you have no right to act like you deserve it anymore than they do. No ones trying to get between you and your man. They're simply trying to get rid of you two.
Rachel was a good competitor, but not a player I liked. I'd liked to have seen her without Brendon. I think together they got on my last nerve. I would definitely vote for her for All Stars- she's a player I loved to hate and she caused all the drama this season. I would like to see her without "My Man."
I was one of the first people to hop on the Team Rachel fan club bus... and I'll never regret it. Rachel was the reason I watched. Every day, through the TV show, Facebook and subscribed to the feeds. She was... fun, unpredictable, giggly, emotional, girly and feminine while being a strong competitor. I realize that with her gone, the game has really begun ie: the real backstabbing and eliminating of friends will begin. But, Rachel was the girl everyone loved to hate (which is why I LOVED her!). I didn't necessarily think she'd win (sorry Rach!) But, I wanted to cheer for her and her partyself for as long as possible! I am so thankful she made it halfway, and I pray we haven't seen the last of her yet!
Rachel wasn't a good player or she'd still be in the game. She and Brendon are the epitome of poor sportsmanship....sore losers and classless winners. Rachel...they wanted you out because you are a despicable human being.
It is very interesting to see how people see this game and how people play this game. Rachel did make a lot of mistakes in this game(sorry rach) but she was a good competitor(or else she would'nt of won 2 H.O.H. Comps).Wonder how things will go down after this week ends. Also do the Houseguest's really think that once Brendon is gone, the house is going to be a nice place to be....really...are they that delusional?? Maybe :)
Rachel may get her wish with Ragan joining her in the jury house. I hope if Ragan is evicted in the next two weeks, America will vote him back in. Once three people are in the jh, I'm thinking they will let one return. Crossing my fingers....
Rachel was not a good competitor as far as the overall game is concerned. Yeah, she won a couple of competitions (one of which involved having a 50/50 chance of getting each question right even if you didn't know it, which she obviously didn't for the last one), but her and Brendon's entire "game" strategy relied 100% on winning HOH. That's about the worst game anyone has played in the history of big brother. I mean, first, create an almost instant 2-person alliance and let everyone know about it? And she wondered why everyone had been targeting them the whole time? Brendon and Rachel appeared to seperate themselves from the rest of the house right from the start. Horrible, horrible move.
These two were the worst players in the history of this show. If Matt hadn't been so silly with his nominations the first time he was HOH, they'd both already be gone.
I was really sad to see Rachel go. She kept the show interesting all season with her, at times, crazy antics and being a target since week 1. I cheered for her when she won her 2nd HOH comp and I felt sad for her when she mad the mistake of getting too cocky. I have little hope for the rest of the season being as fun without her. I hope she returns for all-stars.
