To anyone wondering how Survivor legend Cirie Fields is doing on Big Brother season 25, as well as her son Jared Fields and Cory Wurtenberger (Survivor 42 Zach Wurtenberger’s brother), this is the place for you! 

This will be a time-pending cover of how Cirie, Jared, and Cory are doing in the show as long as they remain in it. These articles will also be significantly helped by Taran Armstrong’s entire season’s coverings, which can be viewed or listened to on the Rob Has a Podcast website and YouTube channel.

COVERING DATES: Late September 13th – Early September 20th, 2023

CIRIE FIELDS

  • On night 50, the houseguests receive a clue in a word scramble puzzle hinting at the upcoming double eviction. There are also rumours there might be a battle-back competition as the press for the week was cancelled a few hours before the episode aired.
  • On day 51, Jared and Cirie, by association, remain the primary targets for the rest of the house. 
  • Cameron is evicted unanimously, which makes Cirie ecstatic as she votes him and his hair out. (Cirie’s words as she evicted Cameron).
  • Cirie competes for the next HOH, but several houseguests, including Cory, Matt, and Jag, make it impossible for her after they continuously pick her to continue playing against them.
  • After Cory wins HOH and nominates Jared for eviction, Cirie tries to save her son. Jared is later voted out unanimously but comes back as a “zombie” for a possible second chance in the game. 
  • Cirie and Jared have a serious discussion with Felicia as the latter is trying to reform the Deadly Seven Sins alliance without both of them after she finds out they tried to save Izzy last week instead of her. Cirie defends herself by telling Felicia it was her fault due to her inability to hold information. Cirie also argues with Mecole about Mecole no longer working with her and Jared. 
  • The “Zombie Twist” stops the game for the week as there aren’t any nominations or veto competition. 
  • Cirie takes advantage of the next couple of days to do what she does best: regroup, excel at the social game, and bond again with the other houseguests so she isn’t a target moving forward. Cirie is successful as no one is targeting her.
  • Blue has grown closer to Cirie and keeps feeding her information, which Cirie can use when/if Jared leaves the game. 
  • Cirie’s alliances so far:
  1. The Fields trio: Cirie, Jared, Izzy (extinct alliance)
  2. Brown Sugar Babes: Jared, Cirie, Felicia, Mecole.
  3. Bye-Bye Bitches: Cirie, Felicia, Mecole, Izzy, Bowie. (extinct alliance)
  4. Felirie/The Bookends: Cirie and Felicia
  5. The Professors: Cirie, Felicia, Mecole, Jared, Izzy, Bowie, Hisam, Red. (extinct alliance)
  6. The Crossroads: final four with Jared, Cory, and Izzie. (extinct alliance)
  7. The Seven Deadly Sins (formerly the Savage Seven): Cirie, Jag, Blue, Matt, Izzy, Felicia, and Jared. (fake/extinct alliance)
  8. Legend 25: Cirie, Izzy, Felicia, Red, Cameron, Mecole, Matt, and Bowie. (fake/extinct alliance)
  9. For Real For Real alliance: Cirie, Jared, Cory, Mecole, America, Felicia, and Izzy. (extinct alliance)

JARED FIELDS

  • Due to his horrible gameplay, Jared remains the main house target for the double eviction, as well as Cirie due to her being his closest ally. 
  • Cory wins the double-eviction HOH and nominates Jared and his showmance, Blue, for eviction. 
  • Jared, Blue, Cory, Matt, Jag, and Mecole play for the veto, which Matt later wins. Matt decides not to use the veto, which seals Jared’s fate.
  • Jared is voted out by everyone (except for Cirie). However, due to the “Zombie twist,” Cameron and Jared return to the house for the rest of the week and will compete in a series of comps to become a houseguest once again. 
  • Jared and Blue fight about not sharing information that could’ve helped Jared know he was the target for the double eviction. They later reconcile.
  • Jared and Cameron decide to share information to help the one returning to the competition. Jared tells Cameron to protect Cirie as she’s a valuable ally if Jared exits the game for good. 
  • Jared is still struggling with the fact he might leave the game as Cameron is most likely to win the final competition. 
  • Jared’s alliances so far:
  1. The Fields trio: Cirie, Jared, Izzy. (extinct alliance)
  2. Brown Sugar Babes: Jared, Cirie, Felicia, Mecole.
  3. The Professors: Cirie, Felicia, Mecole, Jared, Izzy, Bowie, Hisam, Red. (extinct alliance)
  4. Family Style: Jared, Matt, Reilly, Blue, Cameron, America, Cory, Jag. (extinct alliance) 
  5. The Crossroads: final four with Jared, Cory, and Izzie. (extinct alliance)
  6. Final two with Cory: Cory doesn’t plan to uphold it. (extinct alliance)
  7. The Seven Deadly Sins (formerly the Savage Seven): Cirie, Jag, Blue, Matt, Izzy, Felicia, and Jared. (fake/extinct alliance)
  8. For Real For Real alliance: Cirie, Jared, Cory, Mecole, America, Felicia, and Izzy. (extinct alliance)
  9. Showmance with Blue

CORY WURTENBERGER

  • Cory wants Jared or Cirie gone in the double eviction. Cory says he would throw Jag and Matt under the bus to Cirie if she won the HOH, though it’d be his worst-case scenario. 
  • Blue confesses to America she would use Cory as a pawn if she won HOH, and they later make a final two. America tells this information, and Cory says he would return the favour. 
  • After Cameron is evicted, Cory wins the next HOH. He nominates Jared and Blue for eviction after telling Blue he can’t risk her winning the veto and playing it for Jared. 
  • Cory is happy his target (Jared) is evicted but is stricken to find out he and Cameron can get back into the game as Cory showed everyone his cards.
  • Cory wants Cameron to return to the house instead of Jared, as he thinks there isn’t a feasible way for him and Jared to work together again. 
  • Cory’s game started out excellently as he had America as his number one ally and the rest of the house against Jared/Cirie. The Zombie twist hinders Cory as Jag and Matt realise Cory/America are the new power duo playing all the sides of the house.
  • At this point, Cory has become the house target. Also, Cameron wants to target Cory due to his infatuation with America. 
  • Cory wants to target Blue in the upcoming HOH with the excuse of backdooring Cameron, as Blue is also targeting Cory for putting her on the block against Jared. Cory’s alliances so far:
  1. Family Style: Jared, Matt, Reilly, Blue, Cameron, America, Cory, Jag. (extinct alliance) 
  2. Mecory: has a deal with Mecole to look out for one another. 
  3. The Crossroads: final four with Jared, Cory, and Izzy. (extinct alliance)
  4. Final two with Jared: Cory doesn’t plan to uphold it. (extinct alliance)
  5. Final two/Showmance with America: real deal for Cory 
  6. For Real For Real alliance: Cirie, Jared, Cory, Mecole, America, Felicia, and Izzy. (extinct alliance)
  7. 3-Way/The Reliable Rats: Cory, America, and Matt. (Matt doesn’t like America)
  8. Working with Felicia and America
