We will close out Big Brother 25 Week 5 tonight with another houseguest’s eviction, so that means it’s time to take another look at how the houseguests are performing. Every week this season I’ll be grading each houseguest based on their gameplay, social skills and competition prowess. These scores will result in a final ranking of each houseguest. So let’s get to it.
Big Brother 25 Houseguest Report Card: Week 5
Cirie, 95/100 — Cirie remains on top this week because no matter how much anyone wants to deny it, this season is designed for her to win. And the way everyone believes she’s on their side is remarkable. Last week we watched so many missteps take place, but this week everyone seems to be thinking more clearly. Cirie realizing along with Izzy that Red needs to go this week boosts them both in our rankings. Last Week: 90
Matt, 90/100 — Matt’s spot in the game is one of the most solid. And with Cirie really on his side now, he can get deep into the game. Of course, like everyone up against Cirie and Jared, he will have to make some kind of move eventually or he’ll never make it beyond Top 5 at best. Last Week: 88
Izzy, 88/100 — Izzy is getting some extra respect this week as she actually really led the charge with the whole “why the heck would we keep Red in this house” thought. And she’s actually aware of how bad an idea it is to go to the end with Cirie and her SON. So Izzy has her own ways to navigate the game, but only time will tell if they work out for her. Last Week: 79
America, 88/100 — Even though America has a huge target on her back, she worked some magic this week to get it off her this week at least. Her thing with Cory is doing her no favors, but she does seem to now have Cirie and Izzy backing her a bit so they can maybe use her to take out some of the guys they’re working with. Last Week: 82
Mecole, 87/100 — Mecole continues to prove she is the one houseguest who is actually using all of her brain power all the time. And she continues to lay low and come off as one of the least threatening houseguests. Like Matt and everyone else, though, she’s going to have to find some way to break past those running her alliance and the game. Last Week: 87
Cory, 85/100 — Cory holds onto this score this week because while he dropped last week for some missteps and his budding showmance, this week he kind of starting looking at the game differently and says he’s now ready to really start playing. So let’s see how that works for him and we’ll reassess his score next week. Last Week: 85
Jared, 80/100 — I guess I need to give Jared some credit for barely winning HOH this week. It’s really hard for me to give him any credit because I think he’s playing a terrible game and he’s not enjoyable to watch, and his showmance with Blue is annoying. But he’s got Cirie keeping him safe, and for that reason, everyone is on his side. He’s never going anywhere. Last Week: 69
Felicia, 77/100 — Felicia sinks this week after her name was going around by much of the house last week. Cirie no longer trusts her and is tired of her thinking she’s running this. There was a lot of talk about Felicia’s “arrogance,” even though I haven’t noticed that. Not sure Felicia has much of a path after this week. Last Week: 80
Jag, 70/100 — Jag climbs a bit after his survival last week and his likely survival again tonight. And the fact that he’s only the target after Cameron next week, he has two weeks to try to regain some leverage. Last Week: 60
Blue, 68/100 — Oh, Blue, do you know what game you’re even playing? She constantly says the wrong thing, has no sense of anything really going on, but then talks mad sh*t in the DR. Her bark is definitely bigger than her bite. And to top it all off, she’s in a showmance. Last Week: 68
Cameron, 67/100 — Cameron drops back down this week after his flopped HOH and the fact that he’s still everyone’s target. He did win the veto this week, though, so that keeps him just above the failing mark. Last Week: 85
Red, 60/100 — Red is likely out the door this week. And he tried to find his footing in the game the past week by distancing himself from Cameron, but it was too little, too late. Even if Red did survive tonight, he has no where to go. Last Week: 77
Bowie, 58/100 — Bowie holds onto the very bottom, even below the person getting evicted this week. I just can’t bring myself to rank her even higher. I haven’t seen a more useless player in a long, long time. Last week: 58/100
