"Big Brother's" Brendon and Rachel Soap Up for "The Bold and the Beautiful"
Oct 18, 2010

She's back, bitches!

"Big Brother 12" firecracker Rachel Reilly, a Las Vegas cocktail waitress before she became a reality-TV villainess, has landed a recurring role on "The Bold and the Beautiful". She'll play a waitress at the show's tropical hangout Bikini Beach, and be joined by her "Big Brother" beau Brendon Villegas, who will play a bartender.

They first air October 25-26, then return November 18-19.






Gotta love that CBS synergy! You guys wasted no time landing "B&B" right after the "Big Brother" finale.
What's next, "The Amazing Race"?


Rachel: I'd love it if we could be like ["Big Brother 11's"] Jeff and Jordan and do "The Amazing Race" — that would be a dream come true — but nothing could top being on this soap opera!

I've been watching "B&B" since I was eight so this is totally surreal. Growing up with Ridge and Taylor and Brooke and seeing their lives unfold and then getting to actually meet them is so crazy. They had me so starstruck I was shaking inside.



Brendon: My grandma is a huge soap fan and when I was younger I spent a lot of time at her house, so I've known about "B&B" for years. She's so excited I'm going to be on it.

I think all those soap-opera twists and turns are hilarious. Our whole lives were a soap opera on "Big Brother", so to take part in a real one is really fun and cool. But I don't think it's easy and it doesn't come naturally for me.



Rachel: And we're not extras. We actually have scenes — real scenes! They even let me give relationship advice to Hope Logan [Kimberly Matula]. And Brendon has a scene where he recognizes Amber [Adrienne Frantz] from the past.

They also put a famous Rachel Reilly "Big Brother" quote in the script. One of my lines is: "Don't get between me and my man!" [Laughs] I could never in my lifetime have imagined this happening to me!

When the producer for "B&B" gave us a call the day after the "Big Brother" finale and asked if we'd be interested in doing the soap, I didn't even wait to ask Brendon! I just said yes for both of us.








Ever consider a career in acting?


Rachel: Never as a profession or even as a hobby, but being on the set I fell in love with it. I had so much fun on the soap that I think I want to pursue it.

I've fallen in love with all the actors. They're such nice people and the crew is so amazing. How could you not want to do that? And Brendon is a natural — he definitely has that hot "B&B" look!
