Amy Bingham has important insight into her eviction from “Big Brother 27.”
The 43-year-old insurance agent exclusively told The Post how her relationship with Rachel Reilly caused her to become a big target in the game — even before the live feeds turned on.
“So initially what people don’t see is the live feeds from Tuesday to Sunday, before Showergate happened, right away people were saying, ‘You’re putting yourself as a target because you’re close with Rachel, you’ve got to distance yourself, you can’t be close with her. They want her out,’” Bingham recalled.
“Everyone was telling me that was a problem — but I couldn’t help it. I’m still gonna be friends with her,” she continued. “So I knew that was putting me as a target because they couldn’t get her out because she was saved. So that’s what was being said to me first before Showergate. So Showergate happened after all these conversations and being told I was being put on the block because of that.”
But Bingham clarified that Reilly, 40, is “absolutely not” the reason why she went home in the second week.
“I’m the reason I went home because of my stupid conversation I had with Vinny,” she explained. “That was what targeted me with Jimmy.”
Bingham noted that house targets Keanu Soto and Kelley Jorgensen winning powers that saved them from the block doomed her, as well.
“It was bad luck,” she said. “This might sound crazy, but I was praying two days before I left the house, and I woke up and I had a dream I was sitting and talking to Julie [Chen Moonves]. So, it was like, ‘I’m going home this week. This is my sign. This is my message, all the powers against me.’”
In addition, Bingham acknowledged she made a huge mistake telling Vince Panaro that she didn’t trust Jimmy Heagerty.
“He’s a lying snake because he is, and I knew that on day two, and I was dying. Like, you guys pay attention, he’s lying to everybody!” Bingham expressed of Heagerty.
“And Vinny reminds me of my brother, so there was some familiarity and comfortability I think by telling him. Dumb move on my part. That was my downfall. Essentially that was why Jimmy had it out for me and was petty and wanted to put me up as a renom, even though strategically, it wasn’t best for his game.”
Bingham, however, stands by her decision to call Heagerty a “snake” as she walked out of the house.
“I knew I was going out the door anyway if I didn’t win the Blockbuster,” she said. “It was already like a done deal. So once I didn’t win the Blockbuster, which sucks, I knew was going home for sure.”
“Big Brother 27” airs Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays on CBS and Paramount+.
