A mother and son team will be competing in Big Brother 25.
Jared Fields was introduced as the progeny of Cirie Fields, a survivor legend.
Additionally, Jared seemed to be playing the game by himself when the Big Brother 2023 season started.
Cirie, however, was unveiled as the 17th house guest at the conclusion of the season premiere.
Since then, Cirie and Jared have been protecting one another in secret.
Izzy Gleicher was aware of the familial connection, but after being evicted, she moved in with her family in secrecy.
Is Jared helping or hurting Cirie on Big Brother 25?
Big Brother fans have debated whether or not Cirie would be doing better without her son in the house.
Several times, Cirie has had to clean up messes that Jared created, possibly putting her own game at risk.
But having someone she can count on is an advantage to the game.
Red Utley even called the show “rigged” for Cirie to win the $750,000 prize.
On the other side of the coin, Cirie hasn’t won a single challenge on Big Brother 25.
Cirie may have only survived due to Jared winning two HOH Competitions.

Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves stopped by for a new Watch What Happens Live episode on Bravo.
During her segment, host Andy Cohen asked Julie a fan question about Jared and Cirie.
“Julie, do you think Cirie’s son Jared’s gameplay is helping or hurting Cirie?” Andy asked.
Julie stated that Jared is helping this week because he wins challenges. By becoming HOH again, Jared likely kept Cirie from being nominated.
“If he could win more challenges and stop talking….” Julie elaborated to some laughter from the audience.
Below is a video showing Julie answering that question.
But with a Double Eviction coming up, Cirie may need to win a challenge to save the Fields family.
Spoilers from the Big Brother live feeds reveal the targets for the second eviction that night.
