Marcellas Reynolds was a houseguest on Big Brother 3 (US) and Big Brother 7 (US).
In Big Brother 3, Marcellas was instantly targeted by Josh Feinberg, and he was nominated by first HOH Lisa Donahue as the target. However, Gerry Lancaster won the Silver POV and went against his alliance to save Marcellas from the block. After being saved, Marcellas then aligned with Amy Crews, Danielle Reyes, and Gerry, although he didn't fully trust Gerry in the game. Marcellas then won HOH in Week 2 and decided to target Josh. During the week, Tonya Paoni started an argument with Amy and Marcellas, causing Amy to vote to evict Tonya keeping Marcellas’s target Josh in the house. As he was aligned with Danielle Reyes, Marcellas was kept safe for the next few weeks. During this time, Marcellas started to align with Lisa Donahue as well. In Week 8, Marcellas won HOH for the second time; he decided to target ally Amy as an 'intervention' for her behavior in the house; however, Danielle and Jason Guy convinced him to change his target to Roddy, and Roddy was evicted. Marcellas' behavior towards Amy in Week 8 turned the other Houseguests against him, and after he informed Danielle that he was going to target Jason, Marcellas became the house's next target for eviction. In Week 9, Marcellas was nominated by Jason against Amy, and he was convinced that Amy would be evicted. Marcellas was so confident of his safety that after winning the Golden POV, he decided not to use it to save himself, leaving himself on the block. In an infamous move, Danielle Reyes betrayed Marcellas and voted to evict him from the house, and Jason Guy cast the tiebreaker vote to evict him. Marcellas was evicted by a vote of 2-1, placing 5th and becoming the 8th member of the jury.
In Big Brother 7, the old rivalry between Marcellas and Danielle Reyes was reignited, however, they later made amends, and began working together. Marcellas also developed a rivalry with the ChillTown alliance, being the only person in the house to consistently target them. In Week 6, despite his ally, Janelle Pierzina, winning Head of Household, Will Kirby infamously convinced her to nominate Marcellas, after Janelle's target, Danielle, won the POV and took herself off the block. Despite Janelle thinking Marcellas would be safe, she was blindsided when he was evicted by a 6-0 vote, placing 9th and becoming the first jury member. Marcellas was the only jury member to vote for Erika Landin to win.
