Reilly Smedley was the latest houseguest to be evicted on Big Brother. The TV Watercooler had the opportunity to chat with Reilly following her eviction to hear her thoughts on the Cirie/Jared connection, why the house went along with Hisam, and her advice to Matt, Jag and Blue before she left.
What are your thoughts on Cirie and Jared being mother and son? Were there any moments that stand out now that could have been clues to their relationship?
That was crazy when Julie told me! My mind was blown. They are hiding that secret really, really well. They totally bamboozled me and I think they’re playing a great game.
Jared has one side of the house, Cirie has the other. So, if they can keep it up, they are going to go really far in this game.
I had a conversation with Jared and it was shown during the live feeds where Matt and I were saying how Cirie and Felicia really just seem like our moms [in the house]. Especially towards Jared and me. We were just so close to them. And Jerod’s response was like, “I know!” It’s so funny [thinking back] I could sense the relationship they had and how tight they were, but I never would have guessed that they were actually mother and son.
I’m so shocked!
Who do you think will take a shot at Hisam?
I think that many people are going to take a shot. That was the plan when I left the house. I think if Matt had the opportunity, he would. We’ll see about Cameron – I don’t know if he’s going to align with him or take a shot at him.
I think a lot of people might fall back on the Hisam target because he was just kind of a common denominator when I left the house.
If everyone felt that way, why do you think they still went along with his plan to evict you?
Because I think people might have been worried about me and my core alliance, and then what would happen to them once Hisam left the house. I think that when they did the math, the viewed Cameron as more of a “free agent” than me and maybe they could bring him over to their side.
They just felt like they couldn’t penetrate the alliance that I had. I think that’s ultimately when I went home.
Is it safe to assume that you’re missing Matt he most?
I definitely miss Matt so much! It was really tough to watch Sunday night’s episode and see him so upset [following my eviction]. He was really my best friend in there.
I [also] really miss Jag and Blue as well. Those are my buddies. I’m rooting for them! I want them to kick some ass for me!
I also want to crawl back into that house and give them all a big hug.
Did you offer any guidance to the three of them before you left?
I just told them to take home the W. Win that game for us all!
I also told them to align with Cirie because I trust her and that she’d be beneficial to them. And that if they can work with Cirie and not just Jared, just so there’s no leak of information on her being left out of any plans.
Basically, I told them to kick some ass and that I’m going to miss them.
