'Big Brother' Season 25: Tension, Tears and Awkward Speeches Lead to Decisive 2nd Eviction (Recap)

etonline.com:

Big Brother, one contestant is already proving that brutal honesty can have serious consequences. Especially if your honesty feels more like bullying in the eyes of all your fellow houseguests.Leading up to Thursday's live eviction, Hisam Goueli had won the Head of Household competition and nominated previous HOH, Reilly Smedley, for eviction — as well as Cameron Hardin, who he put up as a false target of sorts.Hisam has said a big deal about wanting to play an «honest» game.

So, he didn't mince words when he told Reilly that she was his ultimate target and that he was going to do everything in his power to get her kicked out of the house.Currently, the house is divided into two large alliances — The Handfuls (i.e.

the younger players), and The Professors (the older players). Both Cameron and Reilly are members of The Handfuls, so regardless of who goes home, The Handfuls are losing a member.

But which member they lose is very important to everyone in both alliances (because obviously there are countless other machinations and schemes being formed in the background).The only hope for Reilly seemed to be if she — or one of her allies — won the Power of Veto competition.
