REILLY SMEDLEY:I sadly am houseguest number two to be evicted.
Hisam Goueli and Reilly Smedley on ‘Big Brother’ season 25.CBS
So I am here.
We saw you shed some tears this past week.
How much does it sting to go this early?
Reilly Smedley and Cameron Hardin on ‘Big Brother’ season 25.CBS
I am such a competitor.
I’ve been competitive my whole life, especially with myself.
But I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Reilly Smedley and Matt Klotz on ‘Big Brother’ season 25.CBS
This has changed my life, and I’m so thankful for the experience.
It’s always an interesting thing starting off withBig Brotherand that first HOH, right?
A lot of people say, “I don’t want any part of that.

Keep that away from me.
You went for it.
Do you think that ultimately hurt your game?
I think it had something to do with it.
I honestly was one of those people who said, “I don’t want it.”
I’m super proud that I got that position in the house so early.
So if you could do it again, you would just throw it?
I don’t know if I’d throw it.
I wouldn’t be so determined to win it though.
What did you make of that?
It was definitely a shock.
But he’s totally entitled to say and do what he needs to do to get further.
So I wish Hisam the best.
Is that honesty going to get him in trouble?
We’ll have to see.
It seems like your entire alliance wanted to keep you over Cameron.
So why didn’t any of them vote to keep you?
I didn’t want them to blow their game up.
I knew that if they voted for me, it wouldn’t be a majority vote.
And everyone’s like, “I don’t want to go against the HOH.”
But these votes are in secret.
Someone could have thrown you a vote or two and actually caused a little chaos in the house.
So why not do that, because no one’s going to know who it is?
So I just said go play in my honor and just vote with the house.
Who was your ride-or-die in this game?
I had more than one ride-or-die.
And I really love Blue.
I think those three were my ride-or-dies.
At first it was Jag, a hundred percent.
Tell me about your connection and friendship with Mattand doing that for him in the house.
I care so much about Matt.
He is such an amazing person, and his story is super inspiring.
He’s one of my best friends.
Who’s been playing the best game in the house so far?
Man, that’s a tough one.
There’s a few, but I think right now, Jared.
He is working both sides of the house.
That blew my mind and is why I think Jared is playing the best game in the house.
He’s in two alliances!
I mean, I can’t even believe.
I thought she meant a romantic relationship.
I was like, “Wait, who?”
[Laughs]That is crazy.
I can’t wait till the other houseguests find out.
They’re going to lose it.
What did you like the most and the least about playing this game?
It’s just the coolest experience.
It’s just a melting pot of all different types of people.
And some of these people I will be friends with forever.
And in two short weeks, having that feeling is so amazing.
I don’t think I disliked anything about this.
I love this game.
It’s definitely a pressure cooker in there.
But like I said, all love forBig Brother.
I would do it again in a heartbeat.
What is that all like?
I definitely am going through the stages of grief.
At first, I didn’t believe it.
Now I’ve had a little bit of time to myself and I’m reflecting a lot.
I want to be in there so bad.
Are you going to go watch all the episodes immediately or give it some time?
It might be heartbreaking, but I’m probably going to watch it.
I’m a curious cat.
