‘Big Brother 27’ star Zae Frederich explains ‘terrible reason’ why the cast isn’t targeting Rachel Reilly
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.
“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.”
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.”
“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.
