‘Big Brother 27' star Zae Frederich explains ‘terrible reason' why the cast isn't targeting Rachel Reilly
Don't come for the queen. Zae Frederich was the first person evicted from 'Big Brother 27' after he failed to convince the house to oust Season 13 winner Rachel Reilly's closest ally, Amy Bingham. In an exclusive interview with The Post, Frederich, 23, opened up about why the majority of the cast aren't going against the former champion. 7 Zae Frederich on 'Big Brother.' CBS 'I can see two reasons. I don't think either of them are good reasons,' the 23-year-old salesperson said. 'But a lot of the people are kind of fanboys, fangirls, and they just like being there with her. They think she's cool. It's not even a game aspect as much as it is a personal aspect.' 7 Rachel Reilly on 'Big Brother 27.' CBS 'They're like, 'Well, it's so cool a 'BB' legend is in the house with us,'' Frederich continued of Reilly, 40. 'Which obviously I'm not like a super fan or anything, so I didn't know who she was walking down the stairs. So that meant nothing to me at all. If anything, I was like, 'Okay, that's more reason to get her out.'' 7 Zae Frederich from 'Big Brother 27' during his interview with The Post. New York Post Frederich believes that the other houseguests are 'scared' of Reilly. 'She hasn't done anything to make herself scary. She hasn't done crazy in the competitions like she used to back in the day. She's done really nothing,' he stated. 'But people are scared to go against her because they feel like if they stand up against her they're gonna get voted out like I did.' The Arizonian native even claimed that Lauren Dominigue told him she couldn't vote for him to stay because she was 'scared to vote against Rachel.' 7 Rachel Reilly on 'Big Brother 27.' CBS 7 Zae Frederich, Kelley Jorgensen and Amy Bingham on 'Big Brother 27.' CBS 'I think it's a terrible reason to have mentality of if you can't beat them, join them, because obviously if everyone has that mentality Rachel's gonna coast her the way to the top five,' Frederich added. Despite Reilly's early success in the game, Frederich told The Post he doesn't believe she necessarily has an unfair advantage against all new players. 'Maybe it's not fair in the sense that she has more experience than us, but at the end of the day, 'Big Brother' every season is so different that I don't believe that means she has a ton of an upper hand on us,' he explained. 7 Rachel Reilly on 'Big Brother' Season 27.

CBS 'I tried to play that into that a lot, say that she's a threat because she's played again, but really, I don't think it plays into it a ton,' Frederich continued. 'It might help her a little bit to know certain ways where she can direct things. But for the most part, this season's probably very different than the last season she played in. So I don't think it's going to mean that just because she won a season means she's going to win this season.' 'Big Brother' airs Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and streams on Paramount+.

Black Stripe Alert! Redshirt freshman Miles Lockhart loses black stripe
Black Stripe Alert! Redshirt freshman Miles Lockhart loses black stripe We have our first black stripe alert of 2025 and it comes courtesy of second-year cornerback Miles Lockhart. The Ohio State defensive back was a four-star prospect in the 2024 class out of Chandler, Arizona, and was rated as the No. 31 cornerback in the nation according to 247Sports composite ratings. Lockhart would redshirt his freshman year with the Buckeyes and did not see any playing time in his first year. With plenty of depth in the secondary, Lockhart will be facing an uphill battle to find the field again in year two. Ohio State has some of the best corners in the nation chomping at the bit for their turn. Davison Igbinoson will have one side of the field locked down, while Jermaine Matthews Jr should lead the way on the other side. Guys like Aaron Scott, Bryce West, and five-star freshman Devin Sanchez will be vying for playing time behind them. Lockhart will most likely be in a battle for playing time with redshirt senior Lorenzo Styles Jr. for the slot corner position. Even though Lockhart is from Arizona, his passion for the Buckeyes is evident. Need proof? Look no further than the melee that took place after the loss to TTUN last year and you'll see Miles Lockhart ripping away the flag that Michigan players are trying to plant at midfield of Ohio Stadium. Lockhart may be an Arizonian by birth, but he clearly bleeds Scarlet and Gray. Welcome to the Brotherhood.
