They had visions of $750,000 dancing in their heads.
Those dreams, however, were cruelly dashed one by one as players were evicted from theBig Brotherhouse.
But for the six most recent contestants that were ousted, they merely moved from one house to another.
The ‘Big Brother’ season 25 jury.CBS
What is the best thing about being in the jury house?
What is the worst thing?
Which pre-jury member do they wish were in there with them?
Cameron Hardin, Blue Kim, and Cirie Fields on ‘Big Brother’ season 25.CBS
Whom would they choose as a permanent roommate?
And, most telling of all, which juror do they feel played the best game?
What is the best thing about being in the Big Brother jury house?
Cameron Hardin and Blue Kim on ‘Big Brother’ season 25.CBS
There’s a home theater.
I mean, this place is just terrible.
It’s the worst place there is to hang out and rest.
American Lopez and Cory Wurtenberger on ‘Big Brother’ season 25.CBS
So yeah, the best thing about hanging out in the jury house is definitely the rest and relaxation.
CORY WURTENBERGER:For me, it’s definitely the no cameras.
I mean, I’m a person who really appreciates my privacy and wants to have time alone.
Blue Kim and Cory Wurtenberger on ‘Big Brother’ season 25.CBS
BLUE KIM:I personally love being in the jury house.
I feel like I’m on a vacation.
I can say whatever I want.
There are no cameras.
Me and the other jury members can actually talk the talk now no game talk, no paranoia.
AMERICA LOPEZ:The best thing about being in theBig Brotherjury house is definitely Cory.
I missed him a lot that week that we were apart.
We’ve been inseparable ever since I got here.
It’s definitely my favorite part.
I love being here with him.
I love spending every second with him and just relaxing.
CIRIE FIELDS:The pressure of being in the house is over.
What is the worst thing about being in the Big Brother jury house?
I miss my Stevie Rae so much, so I can almost taste the finish line.
CORY WURTENBERGER:The worst part is you don’t have much to do.
And I want tonotthink about the game, but that’s just not how my brain works.
But it’s gotten easier, especially since America’s been here.
I’m not actually even in the game anymore other than another vote close to the finish line.
So that is the worst thing about being in the jury house.
AMERICA LOPEZ:The worst thing about being in theBig Brotherjury house is not being in the game.
It sucks, and I’m still beating myself up for it.
I really, really wanted to win this.
I really wanted to get further than sixth place, so it just sucks that I’m not there.
So yeah, I guess that would be the worst part.
But other than that, it’s great.
So I love it here.
CIRIE FIELDS:Being in the house is over.
He’s a good pool shooter, and we would just kick it.
Nobody in the house really likes my kind of music much.
They weren’t exactly the most pleasant to spend time with.Reillywas chill.
I’ll say Jared.
I bonded really well with Jared.
Obviously, it’d be nice for Blue to have Jared in the house.
We’d have this nice little double date couples retreat… plus Cameron?
This sounds like a great time.
I would love to have him in the jury house.
I would love to chill by the pool, jacuzzi it up, maybe a glass of wine.
But obviously he would be my number one pick for pre-jury house member.
AMERICA LOPEZ:Honestly, okay…
So, I don’t miss anybody that went out pre-jury.
Not even going to lie.
I didn’t get close to any of them, and I guess that was for the best.
That was for a reason.
Whatever they went out pre-jury, I don’t miss them.
It’s going to be fun to see them all finale night and see everybody’s faces.
But yeah, I don’t miss them.
I don’t care for them.
CIRIE FIELDS:Surely, you jest.
Of course, my boy Jared.
Because I love him.
I’m his mama.
FELICIA CANNON:I wishMimiwould’ve been in the jury house.
I heard a couple of things, but I enjoyed Mimi.
Mimi kept her cards close.
CAMERON HARDIN:I would probably choose Blue.
Blue and I just have this pretty cool, just fun connection.
We basically sit and read books in the same room as each other, which is pretty cool.
And I’m her sous-chef.
So I’d love to hang out with Blue.
CORY WURTENBERGER:Yeah, this is a tricky one.
BLUE KIM:If someone had to be my potential roommate… surprise, surprise.
I’m actually going to choose Cory.
I think he and I hobby-wise as well as interests align really well.
We watch a lot of the same shows.
We love cartoons, animation.
We have a lot of the same hobbies.
But his food preferences, that’s kind of where I draw the line.
AMERICA LOPEZ:So this might come as a surprise, but I would love to room with Cory.
He’s my boo, and I think we make a good pair.
If I could room with him for longer than this next week, I would love to.
FELICIA CANNON:It would be Cirie.
I would be roommates with Cirie.
She and I actually really got along.
Who among all the jurors played the best game and why?
CAMERON HARDIN:Oooooh… who amongst the jurors played the best game?
I would have to currently give my vote to Cory.
kindly don’t tell him I said that.
He’ll get a big head.
I think that he played a pretty solid mental game.
I know I did myself.
So I think that he probably played the best mental game of the house.
CORY WURTENBERGER:I’m going to exclude myself from the answer.
Sometimes I think it probably was Cirie or America.
They could have won some competitions and brought this thing home, where Cirie really had no chance.
So I’m just going to say America, because she got to the final six.
If she wins that HOH, she actually has a pretty good shot.
Cirie, it was never really a world where she could win this thing based on who was left.
So I’ll say myself, obviously, then probably America.
AMERICA LOPEZ:Oh my God, I’m such a girlfriend.
I think that Cory played the best game for sure.
But I think up until that point, Cory had been playing the best game.
He was on the block day one, and he maneuvered his way out of that.
He was in danger week two duringHisam’sHOH.
I think, as a viewer, he would be my favorite by far.
He played the best game and he played his heart out up until that last day.
We were up on the block next to each other and he had a great campaign.
It was so great that I was even hoping that it would work a little bit.
I think that’s just classicBig Brother.
I think that’s great gameplay and I think he’s the best player here.
I tried to genuinely be me through the whole game.
I never played a role.
I was the real Felicia for 96 days.
And that meant something to me.
I felt like you’ve got to treat people the way you want to be treated.
And they were always being more conniving.
So I think I played the best game out of the jurors that are sitting there.
