Entertainment Weekly can exclusively report that the former Big Brother winner, who came back to compete this summer on season 27 of the competition franchise, will also be making a triumphant return to her other TV home away from home! Which is to say that fresh off being released from the jury house, Rachel will once again be guest-starring on <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/the-bold-and-the-beautiful\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Bold and the Beautiful;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Bold and the Beautiful<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rachel will again be playing her legendary role of \u201cRachel\u201d \u2014\u00a0a Bikini Bar server. But expect the unexpected because this time, there\u2019s a twist! It seems her character has a side hustle as an \u201cenergy healer and spiritual cleanser.\u201d And, in a fitting nod to her reality TV past, the character of Rachel has \u201cexperiences with toxic houses.\u201d (No word on if the spiritual cleansing involves the use of life vests in any form or fashion.)<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"JPIStudios 'Big Brother' stars Elissa Reilly Slater, Brendon Villegas, Rachel Reilly, and Amber Borzotra on 'The Bold and the Beautiful'\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"445\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/d6663603f4ac3dad43bd739be84a8240.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>JPIStudios &#8216;Big Brother&#8217; stars Elissa Reilly Slater, Brendon Villegas, Rachel Reilly, and Amber Borzotra on &#8216;The Bold and the Beautiful&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The woman dubbed Iconica on her <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/big-brother-season-27-comic-book-covers-revealed-exclusive-11806610\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:BB Comics cover;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">BB Comics cover<\/a> will appear on two new episodes slated to air on Thursday, Nov. 13, and Friday, Nov. 14, and is filming her episodes today. She will be sharing scenes with Don Diamont\u00a0(who plays Bill Spencer),\u00a0Heather Tom\u00a0(Katie Logan), and\u00a0Scott Clifton\u00a0(Liam Spencer).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI shook the Big Brother 27 house with boldness, beauty, and a touch of betrayal,\u201d Rachel tells EW about returning to The Bold and the Beautiful. \u201cSo naturally, I\u2019m stepping back into the Forrester world \u2014\u00a0where drama meets couture. As an icon, I serve both and couldn\u2019t be more excited to be back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While Rachel is best known for her three times playing Big Brother \u2014\u00a0including the past season where she was taken out in a controversial twist and ended up as the first jury member \u2014\u00a0she has also competed on other shows including <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/the-amazing-race\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Amazing Race;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Amazing Race<\/a> (twice), <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/the-traitors-8662587\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Traitors;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Traitors<\/a>, Celebrity Fear Factor, and <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/tv\/snake-in-the-grass-survivor-big-brother-rachel-janelle-cirie-stephenie\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Snake in the Grass;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Snake in the Grass<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But she is also, at this point, a certified soap opera veteran, having starred on The Bold and the Beautiful in a string of episodes between 2010 and 2014. The two new installments will mark her 30th and 31st appearances on the popular daytime program that has been on the air since 1987. That marks the most for any Big Brother alum crossing over to the soap opera, followed by husband Brendon Villegas, who has appeared 18 times. Even sister Elissa Reilly Slater has guest-starred six times, also as a Bikini Bar server, as evidenced in our <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/tv\/big-brother-bold-and-the-beautiful-crossover-gallery\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:gallery of Big Brother and Bold and the Beautiful crossover stars;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">gallery of Big Brother and Bold and the Beautiful crossover stars<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It&#8217;s been quite a year for Rachel. Even though she did not win in her third appearance on Big Brother, she was a force of nature during her time in the house, and was never even voted out by her peers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI would argue that I played the best game of\u00a0Big Brother\u00a027 of the people in the jury house,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/big-brother-season-27-jury-speaks-exclusive-finale-interview-11819368\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:told EW right before the finale;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">told EW right before the finale<\/a>. \u201cI was never nominated. I went home by never going through an eviction. I went home on a twist. And I would argue that most of the evictions this season were due to the strategic gameplay that I played\u2026. I have to say I think I played the best game this season, and I hope that America feels like that, too, of the jurors \u2014 actually, maybe of everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And now she goes from one show filled with drama and backstabbing right into another.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Want to be kept up with all things Survivor?
