Recently eliminated Big Brother housemate Adrian's exit interview with Taran Armstrong aired on August 1, 2025. They talked about Adrian's time in the house, strategy, and his unexpected elimination from the show.

He also talked about Lauren's time as Head of the Household (HoH) and how she played it "safe." While recalling the lies and liars from the Big Brother house, Adrian mentioned Mickey's lies about the power.

Adrian mentioned that when he gave Mickey a chance where she could have told him about the power, he said:

"Like if I was still in the house and Mickey still had used her power, then she would know that if she remembers that she lied to me when I asked about the powers, and I would try to play it cool, act like I didn't remember it. But I think it was supposed to set up in that way that people did want to work with me because I was honest with them."

While reflecting on his time in the CBS show and how he was being lied to, Big Brother housemate Adrian shared his thoughts on the matter. The host, Taran Armstrong, asked him:

"If everybody lies, how do you distinguish between like which lies are the bad lies and which lies are worse than other lies? Because everybody's lying, right?"

Responding to that, Big Brother's Adrian said it was exactly the thing how he could easily spot the lies from housemates.

"It would also force people to rather do two things: tell me the truth or face my wrath, right? So, it was more like that. And, especially if I had won, people were like, Dang, you can't get Adrian out. But you know, he's honest, I've been honest with him. But yeah, it depends on the lie."

Talking about lies, Adrian noted how Mickey had lied to him about having the power. He also stated that earlier Mickey opened up about having powers; however, she might have forgotten about that conversation.

That was the reason why Adrian tried to "play it cool." He also mentioned that he was very clear and honest about his wanting to vote for Zae. Because he was honest about that, all the housemates except Rachel knew that.

"Like I don't think Mickey would have wanted to work with me or told me what she told me if she didn't believe that I was an honest player, that I would keep my word," added Adrian.

Later, Big Brother housemate also tried to give Mickey an "out." He recalled that he asked her if she knew "who" had the power. But she responded that she didn't know. However, she didn't know that Adrian knew that she had the power.
