Reilly Smedley has addressed what appeared to be the beginning of a showmance with Matt Klotz on Big Brother's 25th season and whether she thinks there's hope for them as couple after the show.

"I think the world of Matt, he is so wonderful. I went into this not wanting any sort of showmance," Reilly told Us Weekly following her eviction from the Big Brother house, which aired on August 17.

"I wanted to focus on making it to the end, without any love. But, you know, I didn't expect to meet someone like Matt, and I think he's wonderful."

As for what the future holds, the 24-year-old Nashville bartender teased, "We'll have to see when he gets out of the house where that goes. But right now, I can think of him as a really wonderful friend, regardless."

On Big Brother's latest episode that aired on Sunday night, Matt, a 27-year-old Deaflympics gold medalist from Cameron Park, CA who currently resides in Baton Rouge, LA, was shown crying over Reilly's departure.

"I can definitely say that I had some feelings for her," Matt confirmed, before footage showed the swimmer telling Reilly that he found her "really attractive" and he had "a little crush" on her.

"I would've liked to have longer in this house [with her] to see where [our relationship] would actually end up."

Reilly went from being the first Head of Household of Big Brother's 25th season to being voted out at the second live eviction of the season, even thought she had "fought like crazy" to stay up until "the last 10 minutes" before the live vote.

"I tried my best. I think I should have stayed," Reilly said. "But obviously, they're going to do what they have to do."

Reilly was voted out of the house through a unanimous 12-0 vote instead of Cameron Hardin. Even her own allies -- including her best friend Jag Bains -- decided to join the house and vote against her to prevent making waves and rubbing Hisam the wrong way.

"I think I'm a very intuitive person, so I totally can see when things are going to happen," Reilly said.

"I was just trying to tell them both, like, 'Listen to me.' But also, it was their power. It wasn't my decision in the end. They did what they had to do for their game so, you know, I can't be too hard on them for it."

Reilly started off the game strong with a solid five-person alliance called "The Handful," which included Matt, and then the group added three more players to make an eight-person majority alliance.

However, Hisam Goueli came into power by winning two Power of Veto competitions as well as a Head of Household competition, and he gunned for Reilly knowing she had been targeting him days earlier.

In fact, Reilly admitted to Hisam's face that she wanted to take him out.

"He's a person who really is trying to play an honest game and be straightforward, so I wanted to return that to him and be honest about where my intentions were," Reilly explained of her decision to be so candid with Hisam. "I wasn't shy about that."

Hisam was certainly honest, as he announced during a Veto Meeting that Reilly had split up the house and he wanted her gone. Hisam even openly campaigned for the house to join forces with him in taking Reilly out.

Although Reilly cried after Hisam's speech and felt it was a little harsh, she told the magazine that she has no hard feelings against the geriatric physician and Cabaret dancer.

"[That] was just him being honest in Hisam's way. He's a very direct person," Reilly noted.

"Whatever he felt like he had to do to improve his game is what he was going to do, so I respect however he had to do that."

After Reilly was evicted from the Big Brother house, Matt and Jag hoped to become the new Head of Household in order to avenge Reilly and gun for Hisam.

Felicia Cannon ended up winning HoH, but she's also targeting Hisam, a fellow member of her "Professors" alliance, because he was coming across too arrogant and controlling when trying to make decisions with their allies.

Sunday night's Big Brother episode concluded with Felicia nominating Cameron and Jag for eviction, but her goal is to backdoor Hisam.
