Luther’s Rylie Jeffries Joins 'Big Brother' Season 27 Cast

A new season of Big Brother kicks off tonight, and Oklahoma has a hometown hopeful in the mix.

Rylie Jeffries, a bull rider from Luther, is one of the houseguests on Season 27 of the hit CBS reality show. He says being in the Big Brother house still doesn’t feel real, and that he’s determined to make the most of the opportunity.

“Everybody that watches it is like, ‘I want to go do that, I want to go,’ and I’m like... I’m here!” Jeffries said. “I get a chance to actually go win this deal, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... You know what I’m saying? I’m not going to let it slip out of my fingertips. They’re going to have to try to yank. They’re going to have to pull this from me as hard as they can.”

Jeffries also shared that his entire family is longtime fans of the show, and they’ll be cheering him on from Oklahoma as he competes for the $750,000 grand prize.

Season 27 of Big Brother airs Thursday nights on CBS and streams on Paramount+.
