“Big Brother 25” began last week with one of the biggest twists of all time: “Survivor” legend Cirie Fields would be joining the game to play with (or against?) her son, Jared Fields. In the backyard, four separate comps took place with the losers of each one being automatically nominated for eviction: Jared, Kirsten Elwin, Felicia Cannon and Cory Wurtenberger. So who won Head of Household on Sunday night, and what power will they have during the first week of this 100-day competition?

8:00 p.m. – “Previously on ‘Big Brother’!” In the first episode, Julie welcomed the first 16 contestants into the house, but teased someone else might soon be joining them. Four competitions took place in the backyard, with Jared losing in the “Scramble-verse,” Kirsten losing in the “Humili-verse,” Felicia losing in the “Comic-verse” and Cory losing in the “Scary-verse.” That meant they were all automatically nominated for eviction. When the players returned to the house, they were shocked to see the 17th houseguest, Cirie, welcoming them with champagne. Talk about a twist!

8:03 p.m. – With Day 1 off to a scrambled started for the mostly superfans, the players knew who Cirie was when they walked in from the nomination challenge to learn she’d be joining them in this summer-long journey. Cirie never won “Survivor,” but she still considers herself “somewhat of an expert in these games” and is “known for her powers of persuasion.” But with her son in the game with her, the initial plan is for their relationship to each other to remain undetected. Unfortunately, Izzy Gleicher immediately knew that Jared is her son because she recognized him from Cirie’s social media. Jared pinky-promised Izzy that they’d keep it a secret between them, potentially forming a bond that he may have to turn into an alliance out of necessity.
