Rebecca "Becky" Burgess was a HouseGuest on Big Brother 17. Becky initially played a quiet game, slowly building trust with most of the HouseGuests. She was considered a major competition threat, often placing high in many physical competitions, and winning 2 HoH's and 1 BotB. When she became the permanent Head of Household, she chose to target puppet master Vanessa, proving her strength as a strategist. However, pawn Shelli was evicted instead.
Following Shelli's eviction, Vanessa began to target Becky the following week. After surviving the double eviction, Becky was the ninth HouseGuest evicted, placing ninth and becoming the third member of the Jury.
Becky is notorious for surviving a train collision that left her in poor physical condition but recovering in less than 8 weeks.
On the outside, Becky is the "All American" girl next door who the men will fall in love with and the girls will want to befriend, but inside she's a strategic and aggressive competitor they should fear. Having grown up in Denver, she's always been athletic and outdoorsy. She's not afraid to get dirty and has been known to out-climb her dates while hiking 14,000-foot mountains in Colorado. She knows her looks give her an edge in life but doesn't rely on them because she's the total package.
Becky won the third most competitions for a female in Big Brother 17, with 3 wins (2 HoH's and 1 PoV). Liz and Vanessa who have won more competitions, with 5 and 7 wins respectively.
