Summary

  • Big Brother 25 starts with surprising twists as the first HOH has emerged, after the nominees were chosen.
  • The inaugural HOH of the season was named on August 3.
  • The unpredictable Scramble-verse turned the game on its head, resulting in an unconventional week 1 on Big Brother 25.

Big Brother season 25 is already full of twists and turns as the Scramble-verse twisted the game during the premiere so that the week 1 nominees were named before the first Head of Household (HOH) was crowned, but now the first HOH of the season has been named. During night 1, Jared Fields, Kirsten Elwin, Felicia Cannon, and Cory Wurtenburger came in last in their multiverse competitions, and became the first four nominees of Big Brother 25. This was highly unusual because the HOH normally nominates two people for eviction.

According to the Big Brother 25 live feeds, Reilly Smedley won the first HOH competition of the season on Thursday, August 3. The competition seems to have involved something physical because, after it was over, Blue Kim said that her foot got stuck, and she hurt her elbow like a rug-burn during it. After Reilly won, Felicia told her that she was so happy she won, and it was power for the girls. Kirsten told Survivor legend and Jared's mom Cirie Fields that Reilly said that she is good.

Big Brother 25 Week 1 Nominees Have Already Been Determined

Since the Big Brother 25 week 1 nominees were already identified on premiere night, it'll be interesting to see what Reilly's responsibility will be as HOH. Perhaps she will choose two of them to remain on the chopping block, and the others will be safe. Then a normal game could resume, continuing with the Power of Veto. Whatever happens, Reilly's win is the perfect end to her birthday, which was on premiere night.

Big Brother 25 was one of the most-anticipated seasons ever, and it has already lived up to its high expectations. From shaking up the game to the addition of Cirie as a 17th houseguest, the Time Laser twist unleashed by Danielle Reyes, Britney Haynes, and Frankie Grande, has breathed new life into the game. It'll be interesting to see what Reilly does with her HOH reign, especially since she's already proven herself to be a competition beast in the Scary-verse game. Her physical prowess and mental focus to avoid being pulled into the Nether Region was very impressive. Perhaps she will win the Power of Veto too and hold all the power.

Because of the Big Brother 25 twist, Reilly's HOH reign is already one of the most unusual in the show's history. However, she will definitely receive safety and the HOH bedroom, which are two perks that will help her through the rest of this first week. Maybe she will even have a new, never- before-seen power. Reilly seemed to have great potential on night one, and her HOH win confirmed that. It's still very early, but she seems on a strong path to winning the $750,000 Big Brother grand prize.

Big Brother airs Sundays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT and Thursdays at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS.
