Who is the accomplice in Big Brother 27, and who did the contestants think it was?
Spoilers ahead for episode 2! 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. (Big Brother/Instagram) 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.

Big Brother 27 Premiere: Vince Panaro named first HOH, mastermind twist threatens early eviction, return of Rachel Reilly
Big Brother 27 kicked off with the new 'Mystery of Summer' twist, where host Julie Chen Moonves was kidnapped by Mastermind, who also hid the HOH relic. In the first challenge, houseguests were split into two groups; one was sent to rescue Julie, the other to track down the relic. Zach Cornell found Julie and bagged $10,000. Jimmy Heagerty cracked the relic hunt and earned the power to decide who'd battle it out for the first Head of Household. Jimmy nominated himself, Vince Panaro, Adrian Rocha, and Ashley Hollis for the next challenge, which was a test of balancing weights on bars. Vince completed the challenge in one go and walked away with the win, becoming the first HOH of the season. But his power came with a major twist. Julie announced that the AI arena from earlier seasons is back, but now it's renamed BB Blockbuster. Now, Vince has to name three nominees, and those three will battle for safety before the eviction.

But she's not the 17th contestant. Not yet. One among the original 16 houseguests is the Mastermind's accomplice. If the others figure out who it is, that person gets instantly nominated. But if no one unmasks them, they stay and officially become the 17th houseguest. Vince might think he's calling the shots as HOH, deciding who stays and who walks. But if someone outs the Accomplice before eviction night, his nominees get spared (unless, of course, one of them is the Accomplice). That could blow up Vince's game early. Two of the three nominees are guaranteed to stay, and if someone plays the Power of Veto card, Vince will end up making more enemies. In his pre-show interviews, Vince said he'd rather play honest than cutthroat, but also hinted he'd change if the house vibe demands it. He walked in unemployed, eye on that $750K, and looks ready to play hard.

She's reality TV royalty, having done projects like The Amazing Race to Worst Cooks in America. She is tough and knows the game inside out. Fans think Vince should play smart as an ally and not target her, because if he comes at her and she survives, he's got a big enemy with serious game. Speaking about Rachel's return, Julie, in an interview with EW, said, 'I loved the Rachel chant when they saw her, but these houseguests are shrewd. They know this is not good for their game. She defied all odds with the whole house against her, no allies left, and won the game. She is a BB legend!'

Sands Hires Its First Corporate Team Member Through the Hiring Our Heroes Program
Las Vegas Sands After participating in the Hiring Our Heroes program at corporate headquarters this past year, Sands hired its first program fellow in early 2025. Chase Jackson recently completed his service in the U.S. Air Force as a Technical Sergeant, Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) journeyman/Joint Terminal Attack Controller instructor and was matched with Sands as an HOH fellow last fall. He joined the company as a cybersecurity analyst at the culmination of his fellowship in January. It's no coincidence that Sands' first HOH hire was in cybersecurity. The company was introduced to the program by Doug Medley, director of Cybersecurity, who also participated in HOH. 'HOH was one of many Department of Defense SkillBridge opportunities presented to me during my Transition Assistance Program briefings,' Medley said. 'As an HOH alum, I felt it was important to add a pathway for separating service members to work in positions not associated with the government. Since I saw first-hand the win-win situation the program offers, it only made sense to bring it to Sands.' The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's HOH program is offered to military service members, veterans, and military spouses. Launched in 2011, Hiring Our Heroes connects the military community with American businesses to spur economic opportunity and a strong, diversified workforce. The program aims to create meaningful employment opportunities through hiring events, digital programs, upskilling opportunities and fellowships. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation connects participating host employers to its rich pipeline of military talent for a 12-week fellowship. Candidates are carefully matched with participating companies based on their specific skills and company needs. Once fellows are assigned to a host company, they undergo exclusive on-the-job training and are able to gain work experience in the private sector. This real-world training is augmented by weekly educational sessions held for the HOH cohort working in various company assignments. 'The host company gets access to a large group of professionals with a wide variety of skillsets and experience levels to grow and sustain their team,' Medley said. 'They also get to know a candidate and determine suitability for a role without all the costs associated with hiring a team member or paid intern. Service members get to learn about a company while still receiving their military pay and benefits. This allows them more flexibility and opportunities to find a job that is the right fit for them.' Jackson found Sands and the cybersecurity team to be a great fit for his desired professional environment. 'The individuals who work here respect people who are willing to work hard,' he said. 'Co-workers go above and beyond to help those that want to learn. Management goes above and beyond to accommodate personal life events such as appointments, emergencies, etc. This means a lot to me because added flexibility provides more control in personal 'life' situations.' With his positive experience, Jackson encourages other members of the military community to consider the opportunities that Hiring Our Heroes can offer. 'I think the benefits of the program are awesome for people who know the company they want to work for as well as those that have no idea what company they want to work for,' he said.'From personal experience, we usually have no idea what we want to do after leaving the military. HOH gives transitioning service members the chance to market their skills for roles outside the military, honing in on what fields best suit their learned skillsets. I honestly could not have had a better experience.' Sands' participation in Hiring Our Heroes is part of the company's ambition to contribute $200 million globally to workforce programs from 2021-2025. As of the end of 2023, Sands had contributed $181 million to programs in this area and will update on its 2024 progress in its next ESG report to be published this spring.
