#i had no strong opinion of reilly as a person or player (it was def too early for me to be attached to her) but i felt bad for her.

honestly reilly being the second evicted houseguest was so good for matt's game. he never really had the danger of being involved in a showmance but he scooped up all her allies that were most loyal to her. that and the next week hisam, who was his side's most obvious next target, was backdoored by his own allies, so he had no real enemies. he did just well enough in comps to be a sought-after ally but not too well that people were clamoring to get him out, nor did he stir the pot enough socially to make himself a target. he just sat back being a pretty mediocre bb player overall but always in a good spot. as much as reilly's early exit was like the handful alliance's sad tragedy it benefited all of them.

#im rewatching the earlier episodes in the season still like i mentioned i was doing last night #bb25 #text post #i remember regretting that they didnt keep reilly bc i was always anti-cameron lol #and as cameron kept avoiding eviction by these and those means i was more and more wistful like goddd what if reilly were here instead #but i honestly didn't care for that side of the house as much as i did the professors' alliance overall. #i had no strong opinion of reilly as a person or player (it was def too early for me to be attached to her) but i felt bad for her. #now that cameron's been out for awhile i dont have that wistful what-could-have-been feeling about her and im like yeah. they got her out #at the right time. sorry reilly. i actually dont really wish you lasted longer in the game #hisam's backdoor was much more regrettable. i mean i still geeeeet why they did it but THAT makes me ponder much more #i gave him a few of my afp votes even though i know he has no chance #he should've just been less intense about all his gametalk. things could've gone swimmingly for him.
