If we can survive "Big Brother," we can do anything.

Three words to describe you: Fun, bubbly and effervescent.

Favorite hobbies: Working out, making clothes with glitter and hiking with my dog.

What famous person reminds you of yourself? Lucy from "I Love Lucy."

What famous person reminds you of your teammate? Ricki from "I Love Lucy." He's a fiery Hispanic and I'm the ditsy, flighty redhead.

What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? My B.S. Chem degree. I worked really hard. My magazine cover with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. Winning "Big Brother."

What scares you most about traveling? I love it.

What excites you most about traveling? Meeting new people, experiencing new cultures and seeing the world.

Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on The Race together? Brendon is impatient.

Pet peeve about your teammate: Impatience. He's always rushing me.

What country and place would you most like to visit and why? Africa, on a safari. I'd love to go to Egypt and Kenya.

What do you hope to accomplish by running The Race (other than winning one million bucks)? Traveling around the world, bonding, falling deeper in love and working together as a couple.


Big Brother

Reilly was previously the winner of Season 13 of the CBS reality competition series "Big Brother." She was initially paired up with Villegas, whom she first met in 2010 while they were competing on Season 12. She came in ninth place that season. At the time, Reilly was a chemistry graduate student and VIP cocktail waitress from Las Vegas, Nevada.

When asked what three adjectives best describe her, Rachel Reilly says bubbly, effervescent and adventurous. Her favorite activities are painting, working out, doing anything outdoors, watching movies with friends, playing with her dog, getting dressed up and going on dates. She thinks the most difficult part about living inside the "Big Brother "house will be having her entire life televised.

Her strategy for winning: "I would hustle like I do at work when I get men to buy me champagne." She would not choose to live with negative people inside the house — "those who don't see the beauty in life and don't understand how fortunate we are to be alive." Of all the past "Big Brother" contestants, she likes Laura the most because she stuck up for what she believed.



She hates spiders and says her life's motto is: "Try everything out the world has to offer and always keep a smile on your face. Make the world a better place."

She says, "I have so many facets to my personality. I'm a model, a cocktail server, a chemist, a student, a charity head ... I have life experiences to share."
