Marcellas Reynolds

Marcellas Reynolds was a houseguest on Big Brother 3 and later appeared on Big Brother All-Stars.

In Big Brother 3, Marcellas was infamously known for winning the Golden Power of Veto (which had first come into play during the Final 5), and refusing to use it on himself since his friend Amy Crews was also a nominee. Ultimately, HoH Jason Guy evicted him in a tiebreaker. He placed 5th and was the eighth jury member. Marcellas's move would come to be recognized as one of the worst moves in Big Brother History.

In Big Brother All Stars, the old rivalry between Marcellas and Danielle Reyes was reignited. Marcellas was evicted in Week 6 by a unanimous 6-0 vote, placing 9th and becoming the first jury member. Marcellas was the only jury member to vote for Erika Landin to win.
