Who is the accomplice in Big Brother 27, and who did the contestants think it was?
Big Brother 27 has revealed the identity of the Mastermind's Accomplice in Episode 2, and all the houseguests got it wrong!
When Rachel Reilly, the season 13 winner, joined the 16 new contestants, the Mastermind revealed she was not the 17th houseguest and that he had an accomplice who was secretly executing tasks.
As per the rules, the houseguests were allowed to guess the identity of the accomplice, and if they were right, he or she would be immediately removed from the house. If not, the Accomplice would join as the 17th houseguest.
Who is the Accomplice ?
The Accomplice was revealed to be Amy Bingham. The insurance agent from Stockton, California, is a self-declared 'girl's girl' and wishes to be part of the larger women's alliance on Big Brother. In her role as the Accomplice, Amy has already shown her ability to remain cool under pressure and has also proven she has the smarts to last on the show by forming an alliance – dubbed the Mon Squad – with Big Brother legend Rachel Reilly.
While Amy's identity was kept a secret from houseguests, the audience was made privy to the fact, with Bingham revealing it was she who pushed a button, causing a timer to start that eventually led to the lights going out. She also had a special remote in her pocket, which was used to make the HOH relic disappear, and she was the one to pull the lever to a portrait upstairs, making way for the entrance through which Rachel entered the house.
Who did the houseguests think the Accomplice was
Eleven of the houseguests bet on Rylie Jeffries being the Accomplice, while five went with Zae Frederich. Given that Jeffries got more votes, he was considered the official contestants' choice, but they were unfortunately wrong. Amy, being the Accomplice, did not vote.
Notably, when Amy made her Big Brother entrance, some eagle-eyed viewers caught onto the fact that she had something in her pocket and said as much on social media, but the houseguests remained clueless.

Stepehen Colbert Net Worth: How much does the 'cancelled' late night host earn from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert?
Big Brother is watching, and the censoring has just started. In a shocking move, CBS announced this week that it is going to end 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' next year, exiting the late-night TV scene altogether. The cancellation, supposedly driven by financial pressures, will take effect in May 2026, coinciding with the usual end of the TV season. This decision to axe the top-rated late-night program comes just weeks after CBS's parent company, Paramount, settled a lawsuit with President Trump, raising questions about Colbert's future, given his frequent criticisms of Trump on air. During a recent taping, Colbert shared the news with the audience, saying, 'Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending our show in May. It's the end of 'The Late Show' on CBS.' Helming 'The Late Show', which has been a staple of CBS for over thirty years, Colbert had big shows to fill. What David Letterman started in the 90s with his signature elements, later passed the torch to Stephen Colbert in 2015, who infused the show with sharp political humor. Colbert, having a background with Paramount through 'The Daily Show' and 'The Colbert Report', came in sharp and strong, armed with his wit, political insight, and critical stance, and made his mark through 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Not only did Colbert amass a loyal base of followers and triggered a cultural influence that caused the uproar upon the news of the cancellation of the show, but the late show host also built his empire worth millions of dollars. Let's take a look. Stephen Colbert: Net Worth According to various financial sources, Stephen Colbert's net worth is estimated to be around $75 million as of 2025. With a diversified financial portfolio, Colbert's earnings come from multiple sources of income. His earnings from television play a significant role in his financial success, with whopping figure salaries from iconic shows like 'The Daily Show', 'The Colbert Report', and currently, 'The Late Show'. Salary from 'The Late Show': In his 2015 debut year, Colbert reportedly earned $6 million annually. Four years after his debut, a contract signed in October 2019 reportedly escalated his pay to $15 million per year. In June 2023, he secured another three-year extension, which is going to last through May 2026. With approximately 168 shows produced each year, this translates to an impressive per-episode earnings of roughly $89,800, further solidifying his status as one of the leading figures in late-night television. Income from other ventures: Apart from 'The Late Show', Colbert has also made a fortune with book sales of 'I Am America (and So Can You!)' and 'America Again'. He has lent his voice to various projects, including 'Monsters vs. Aliens', has made his mark on Broadway, and continues to foray into various production ventures, showcasing his skills both as a producer and an actor. With roughly $150 million earned from CBS over a decade, Stephen Colbert is set to bid adieu to 'The Late Show' next May. There's no denying that 'The Late Show' has been expensive to produce, costing over $100 million per year, including Colbert's salary and a 200‑person staff. Although highly successful and culturally significant, the show struggled financially, losing approximately $40 million annually, and CBS decided to pull the plug. Colbert's farewell in May 2026 marks the end of an era, but Colbert has yet to announce what he will take on next. Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' Axed Weeks After Trump Deal Criticism

Social media makes us more nosy. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's ‘scandal' is a symptom
Not gonna lie. The news of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his HR chief Kristin Cabot getting caught on a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert was refreshingly amusing. Both Byron and Cabot — who frantically hid their faces once the camera turned its lens on them, cosying up — are married, just not to each other. We have always been told that actions have consequences, and it felt strangely satisfying to see it actually play out. As the day unravelled, social media expectedly blew up with memes, some outrageously hilarious. Sample this: 'Coldplay hasn't made a single in years. Last night, they made two.' Short, smart and great wordplay. Irony died a thousand deaths with this one: 'The face you make when 20,000 people witness your HR violation in 4K. Live by the policy, die by the Jumbotron.' And for once, the targets of all the trolling were actually in the wrong (Would that still be called trolling? And is it then justified?). With footage barely ten seconds long, Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot's personal business — which until a day ago wasn't even in the knowledge of their respective spouses — had now become everybody's business. So much so that netizens have dug up the identity of the visibly embarrassed woman standing next to the pair — Alyssa Stoddard, the newly appointed Vice President at Astronomer — and deduced from her reaction that she was aware of Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot's 'affair'. It would, however, be unfair to solely put the blame on social media for our nosiness. Even before we had a screen in front of our eyes 24×7, reality shows like Big Brother, Bachelor, and closer home, Big Boss and Splitsvilla, which quite literally had a camera following the contestants inside a 'house', disrupted whatever little understanding we have of the idea of privacy. It no longer felt inappropriate to watch a stranger in their personal space. The viewers, almost unintentionally, transformed into Peeping Toms, and the behaviour was legitimised by TRP ratings. What social media did was invite participation. The ability to offer your two cents on absolutely anything from the other side of the screen, with no tangible consequences, emboldened our inherent voyeuristic tendencies. Now, people do not hesitate to contribute to and create discourse (or controversy) on any trending topic, irrespective of how qualified they may or may not be to do so. Climate change? Yes. Communal riots? Sure. An actress' body type? Of course. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's affair? Why not? According to the latest findings on what is now being called the 'Coldplay kiss cam scandal', Andy Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan, dropped her last name from her Facebook profile after the jumbotron footage started doing the rounds online. Kristin Cabot, who had apparently known and worked with Alyssa Stoddard at several places, has deleted the latter's appointment announcement from her LinkedIn account. Byron has allegedly put out a 'heartfelt' apology letter to his wife and children online, which was later dismissed by an Astronomer spokesperson as 'fake'. Wait, there's more. As of this morning, there is already a report speculating that if Andy Byron and his wife were to divorce, it would cost him over $30 million. Cabot's relationship history has been made public — that she is married to Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum, and that she was married previously to Kenneth Thornby, with whom the divorce was finalised in 2022. There's also a new video of Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot 'locking lips' before the concert began. Now imagine it is you getting 'caught', smoking or kissing your date or casually meeting a potential rival employer, in the background of one of the hundreds and thousands of influencer videos that go viral.

Shaan on quitting Sa Re Ga Ma Pa against Himesh's advice, boosting Aditya's fame
Popular singer Shaan recently revealed the reason behind his abrupt exit from ZeeTV's longest-running show 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa'. This followed after the show's producer-director left to join 'Voice of India'. That decision arguably played a key role in boosting actor-singer Aditya Narayan's a recent interview, Shaan recalled how Himesh Reshammiya had advised him against quitting the show, with him saying, 'You are doing the same mistake as Mahima Chaudhary.'advertisementSpeaking to Mashable India, Shaan recounted the circumstances, 'After the end of one season, makers were prepping for a new season. During that time, something went wrong between ZeeTV and Gajendra Singh. He then left to join Star and started a new show called The Voice of India. Between the two shows, there was a gap. Himesh told me, "Don't leave 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa or Zee TV'. But, I was in guilt. I said the man who hired me had left the show. Then how can I be? I missed that season for that reason and Aditya Narayan stepped in.'He continued, 'When I took the decision to not anchor the show, Himesh told me a very interesting thing. He said, 'The decision you have taken is similar to what Mahima Chaudhary had done to herself.' At that point in time, I didn't understand his statement. Then I learnt that the makers of 'Big Brother' first wanted Mahima Chaudhary to join the UK series, which she didn't accept, and then it was passed to Shilpa Shetty, who took it up. She became a phenomenon post that.'For those unaware, Shilpa Shetty went on to become the first Indian celebrity to appear in the British reality television series. She eventually won the show, securing 63 percent of the public vote. This success also led to her hosting the second season of 'Bigg Boss'.According to Shaan, Himesh felt he should have stayed on. He continued, 'So here, Aditya became Shilpa Shetty and I became Mahima Chaudhary of my story. However, by God's grace, 'Voice of India' also did well, and I kept getting reality show gigs.'Earlier, in a conversation with TellyChakkar, Shaan had said, 'When I left Zee after 'Little Champs' and Aditya took over as host, he made the show popular. He is doing a great job. I think the success of the show primarily depends on the talent of the contestants and the rest is secondary.'Aditya Narayan stepped away from 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' in 2022. Sharing the news on Instagram, he wrote, 'With a heavy heart, I bid adieu to my hosting duties for a show that gave me my own identity as an adult, SaReGaMaPa. From an 18-year-old teenager to a young man with a beautiful wife & baby daughter! 15 years. 9 seasons. 350 episodes. Time really does fly (sic)."Currently, Shaan has several upcoming projects, including live concerts and work in films. He is scheduled for a live concert in Mumbai on October 18, celebrating the anniversary of Jio World Drive.- EndsMust Watch
