Reilly Smedley On Big Brother 25
An elated Reilly couldn’t hide her excitement when she spoke to Parade.com about being on the show. “I can’t even believe I’m here in general. Like, this isn’t real life. I keep pinching myself and I’m not waking up. So I’m assuming this is real. I’m super excited to be here. I’m honored that I was chosen to do this,” she said.
Asked why she was on Big Brother 25, Reilly claimed to bring a flavor that is not common to the franchise. Describing herself as a natural-born spaz, she believes she should have a TV show dedicated to her.
Talking about her strategy for the season, Reilly insisted on embracing her situational awareness and keeping her head on a swivel. She also doesn’t believe in making a plan. Adopting and not floating are her two key strategies on the show.
Moreover, Reilly doesn’t believe she can hold a secret. On Big Brother, she had plans to act like an open book. She seemed equally nervous about being in a house full of strangers. In her words, “I think it’s just all brand new. This is a totally crazy once-in-a-lifetime type of situation where you’re just kind of planted in this isolated house with random strangers and you just have to figure it out. And so that’s one of those things that’s super uncomfortable.”
Surprising everyone, Reilly became the inaugural HOH of Big Brother 25. As a result, she received safety and HOH bedroom.
