Did she play the shrewdest game ever? Hell to the no, but Jordan Lloyd – the 22-year-old waitress from Matthews, N.C. – still managed to sway four jurors (and America!) to give her the $500,000 while her showmance Jeff Schroeder snagged another $25K in pocket change. Here, Lloyd talks about how she’ll spend her spoils (and how she proudly remained chaste in the house) while Schroeder reflects on life in the jury house and sparring with an oh so lippy Lydia. After watching, be sure to check out my finale interviews with Natalie and Kevin, as well as a chat with executive producer Allison Grodner, who responds to some of this season’s biggest controversies.

Congrats guys! It was fun to watch you two all this season. Congrats again!
I agree. They were a great contrast to the sheer insanity this season. I also wish Jordan would have pointed out how mean and arrogant natalie was to everyone, but i guess it doesn’t matter now. No one even wants to talk to nat.
Congrads jordan and jeff. All through the season you two was my favorite on the show.
Congratulations, Jordan – laying low during the first half of the game is the only valid strategy. Wait for the maniacs and the revenge-seekers to pick each other off, and then pick up your game in the second half with alliances…and when it counted, Jordan beat both Kevin and Gnatalie heads up. Even when she didn’t win a competition, Jordan still beat the Gnatster…Pathological lying is not a valid strategy – it’s a way of life. Gnatalie is so driven by lying she actually told Chima to say the Mic slipped out of her hand not realizing a dozen cameras were watching the whole thing. I’m just sorry she won $50,000 – and I feel really bad for that “fiance” of hers….oh, and Gnatalie’s poker playing career is now over since everyone now knows she is bluffing every hand.
Thanks for saying what I was thinking. Lying appears effortless and so easy for Natalie. Second nature? Pathological lying?
Lying about her age, lying about her boyfriend visit. She was rewarded for “playing the game”.
Lying and deceit has its own rewards different than life.
Karma
Jordan might not be that sharpest knife in the kitchen, but she got me $20 from my Aunt by winning so I do owe her that. And as for Natalie, As Kevin would say, WHAT NOW BISNACH
You hit the nail on the head and said everything I wanted to say…
We’ve heard a lot of players, this season and in the past, talk about taking on a character in the house, or being a character.
Jordan HAS character. It’s as simple as that, and that’s why she deserved to win. She was nominated and lost valuable allies, but never let herself become vindictive or spiteful. She lost competitions and didn’t consider herself a failure…won competitions and didn’t consider herself an “alpha” player. She may even have fallen for a guy, but had the character not to run away with that experience while surrounded by cameras and onlookers. She had the kind of character that viewers can look up to without feeling like they were wallowing in “trash TV.” Go, Guccie!
Totally agree! It is so nice to see a sincere, honest person win (with some morals). Good luck Jordan & Jeff!
When will the Jeff and Jordan show!
be airing? I would view it faithful. I hope wedding bells will ring, as I saw it; it was nearly love at first sight. I hope the cold claws of life don’t take control from what it should be. True Love
Awesome!! Go Jordan. I would have liked to see with Jeff Michele or Jordan win this game. Go Jeff for getting the $25,000 and Im still mad that natalie gets anything grrr ..scrappy
This could possibly be one of the WORST final two in reality tv show history- it was like choosing between a stabbing and a shooting! On another note: while I voted for Jeff to get the “wizard” power, he became power hungry just like the rest of them. I thought he came off totally arrogant last night, but since America has their Jeff-blinders on, he can do no wrong. When Lydia defended Kevin, he got mad at her, but then did the exact same for Jordan. When Casey said it was a dumb move to get out Russell, he still got upset about Russell and Michelle having a final two deal which had nothing to do with their final four deal. At that point in the game the six individuals had coupled up anyway. Of course if I was Jeff, I wouldn’t want to admit I’d been duped by almost everyone in the house either. And what’s the easiest way to deflect negative attention upon yourself, use the bully mentality of raising your voice and talking down to others. I feel much better now that I’ve vented!
you say wa?
Did Chima write this?
I agree. This nasty comment could only have been posted by Chima.
I am so happy for Jordan. I only wished Kevin had received the 50K, not GNATaLIE; she didn’t deserve anything with all of her lying and backstabbing.
america wants more more of jeff
I agree. He may have gotten beat by liars, but he is a genuine guy!
I’ll be looking forward to the “Jeff and Jordon” TV series to come. What a hoot that would be. Couldn’t get enough of those 2
Jeff and Jordan would be PERFECT TOGETHER in a reality show. CBS do not disgard this idea. They are naturals & we love to watch and listen to them. I adored their easy banter about what kind of animal would you be..I would watch and so would America.
Jacquie, I loved the banter about “what kind of animal what you want to be” Jordan was so cute w/her “I like to be a squirrel” and Jeff saying “a squirrel” ??!! LOL I had to play it back a few times.
OMG, I was thinking the same thing! I was a little sad that the show was ending only because I’ll miss Jeff and Jordan. Unfortunately their is the curse of Reality TV Couples (i.e, John and Kate, Nick and Jessica, etc.) I do wish them the best and hope we will see more of them in the future!
Amber & Boston Rob are still together. They were on Survivor (each twice)and Amazing Race.
I think their relationship is over. After the show ended did you see their awkward talk. Jeff was just standing there and Jordan was standing there talking a little to her family then started talking to Jeff. I think they were very uncomfortable especially Jeff. I don’t think he realized how much his and Jordan’s relationship was broadcast and that everyone has made up this romantic relationship between the two. Jordan seemed uncomfortable around him after he made that comment that she was on the short list and he didn’t say he was playing either. So I don’t see them together. But I wonder what Jeff will say on the Bonnie Hunt show tomorrow about Jordan. Maybe the same thing he’s been saying in every interview about how they are friends.
Awwwwwwwww the wonderful Sina, the Jeff hater is here again. Why must Jeff take Jordan on his trip to Hawaii? Hell Jordan just won 500K, she can take herself. See if your such a Jeff hater, (going by post you have written on BB) why do you care what Jeff says or does? I bet you watch him tomorrow on the Bonnie Hunt Show. You secretly love him, don’t ya? lol
I dreamt I was at their wedding!
I would watch the Jeff and Jordan show!
They need to have Jeff on the Bachelor. How great would that be???? Thee is just something about him that is so freakin intriguing.
yay! sooo happy she got it and not NataLIE!!! This was teh most exciting finale of Big Brother EVER! love the panel questioning BEFORE the winner reveal. Awesome…
Congrats to you both! love you guys, you made this season fun!!
I am so happy for jordon she is humble and has character she may not have win competitions through the game, but won when it counted most —– you go girl stay humble.
The Landmans comments are right on…Natalie was a skank and Jeff and Jordan deserve to walk into the sunset together..Those two were made for eachother and Jeff is such a great guy. The way he threw that HOH comp for her..What a guy…God Bless
well kids i was with you throughout the game — i am proud of you both and hope things go well in Hawaii — Jeff — with the short list and Jordan a special goodluck for you and your family.
Love love love Jeff and Jordan, the chemistry between the two of them makes me smile, and I do hope they develope a relationship outside the BB house. They are too cute ! Congrats to Jordan – I was rooting for you girl and just knew Jeff would win America’s favorite !!!
Congrats Jordan! What a sweetie.
OMG….what now? I can’t look at blogs…no more spoilers…no counting down to the next show. I’m having serious withdrawals already
I dooo want to see more of Jeff & Jordan! COME ON CBS! Bring them back!
I soo agree that jeff and jordan should do a show together on cbs.I believe as well that all of america would watch too! America loves jeff and jordan,they are awesome!
I totally agree, bring back Jeff and Jordan. Sign them for Amazing Race, Survisor, anything so we can watch them. Please
This would be totally COOL! I would definitely watch. We want more – to the marriage & the kids with her accent!
I think the showmance between Jeff and Jordan is over. Jordan seems to think Jeff is taking someone else to Hawaii, as in a female. I think she did feel more for him than he did for her. I know the video’s show Jeff just googoo eyes for her but like Jeff mentioned in his interview, “Thanks BB for the great editing”. I could careless if I never hear from Jordan again, NOW Jeff, he is even funny to watch when he is giving one liners to Lydia. I think Lydia kinda is crushing on Jeff, and I KNOW Michelle is. Just HOW close did Jeff and Michelle get that last week in the JH? Mmmmmmmmmmm.
I can not agree with Mick. I think Jeff liked Jordan more than vice versa. Jeff looked at Jordan with stars in his eyes. His smile, while listening to her silliness, was the most real smile…and it wasn’t him laughing at her, which he also did sometimes. Him giving her HOH, “trying” to teach her what a quarter hour is, trying to kiss her, etc was what made female America fall in love with him. We ALL want a true gentleman. The fact that he was gorgeous, pretty intelligent, had HUGE humility, and didn’t let the jerks bait him didn’t hurt either. Jordan was the anthesis of the “curvy” girls, we’ve seen every season, planning on using their sexuality and shomance to the end. Jordan, 22, stated she thought she might be too young to get into a serious relationship with Jeff who’s much older. She showed moral character through out the game and didn’t want her family to see her “hook-up” on TV. I think they may date some after leaving the house, but Jeff thought Hawaii would be romantic (read “sleep with me”), whereas Jordan thought of Hawaii as snorkling and sight-seeing. The girl knew when to “play dumb” too. See knew what he was saying and what he meant, but she could play hard to get…which worked well for her. But I do think they have a special bond that will last a very long time! PS…I LOVED when Jordan stood up to Russell in the backyard. When she ran into him yelling “You think I’m afraid of you, Russell?” I laughed so hard. I was saying, “You go girl. Get him!” Thought Jeff would have to jump in and save her…but she pulled herself together and backed off. I was proud of her. Russell’s tirade/torture-fest were ridiculous. I was surprised that BB producers allowed that. Great season. Two “good people” winners in a row. Dan and now Jordan!!
Yes! Yes! Yes! We need to know.
OMG love Jeff’s interview which followed Jordan’s. What a babe!
CONGRATS JORDAN KNEW YOU COULD DO IT ! AND SO DID JEFF.. YOU MADE THIS THE BEST BIG BROTHER EVER SERIOSLY THANK YOU
yES JORDAN N JEFF NEED TO BE SEEN AGAIN SOME HOW SOME SHOW SOMEWHERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 BRING THEM BACK
Why on earth would you want to see Jordan and Jeff on a show that voice on Jordan alone is enough to drive someone INSANE and then the foolishness that come out of her mouth (blahhhhhh) They made a great couple on the show but I don’t think it would last in real life because they don’t know each other! And all of you are hating on Natalie for palying the game of BIG BROTHER, but she made it to the final two and the only reason Jessie didn’t vote for her was because he wanted he and she choose her boyfirend. He would have did the samething. I was a Jessie fan until his fianl move not good Sir.
don’t know each other??? after 2 mos. of 24/7? 2 mos. of sharing wonderful small talk. 2 mos. of high end stress? most of the couples who get married should know each other so well!
I want to see another All Stars and bring back some of Big Brothers best teams. Like the 4 horse men, Evil Dick and Daniel, Jeff and Jordan, Dan and Memphis. That would be a great show, would they stay together or some great backs stabbing and new heroes and villians!!!!
Maybe Jeff & Jordan will try Amazing Race next.
Great idea, what a hoot that would be. They could “test their relationship” to see if it could go to the “next level” not. So many couples have done that so far on AR and it sure doesn’t seem to work out to well for very many of them.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE JORDAN AND JEFF ON THE AMAZING RACE…..
I AGREE…reading this thought the exact thing…my “OTHER” favorite show. I liked Jeff from the beginning…just a nice guy; same with Jordan being a nice person.
They would be hilarious in a foreign country.
NO WAY would they survive even one or two shows of Amazing Race. I love Jeff and Jordan, but Jeff would literally have to “carry” Jordan. It’s difficult to figure out the stunt/game/navigation parts of AR while pulling on her hair and pulling on her shorts!!! Sorry, but it’s true! Jeff would be yelling at Jordan the WHOLE time. She would cry, and he would be frustrated with her. We would all hate him. They should write a modern version of “Green Acres” for them. He could be devilishly handsome, rich, and crazy about the ditsy, blond, sweet-as-pie Jordan. They would be adorable…AND not to hard an acting job for either of them!!
You are right! Jeff would have to carry her the whole way on amazing race…I want Jeff on the Bachelor!!!
i really hope so i would for sure watch
We are all so happy for Jordan! Nice girls don’t have to finish last…good for her! And yes, somewhere, somehow, Jordeff need to reappear, and finish what they started! Thanks for the Good times BB!
best bb ever jordan and jeff need to get together and let the rest of us know how things turn out
Jeff it wouldnt have been any fun if you and Jordon were not in the house. Please don’t miss out on what might be love for the two of you… give it a chance!!! That feeling you described to Jordon in the house is LOVE!!!!! WE APREASH YOU TOO! THank god you got Jessie Gone!!!!!
WHAT AN ENDING!!!!! Hoped and prayed for both of you! Jeff, throw away that list, you are lucky to have Jordy!! Great to watch my two favorites all summer, we had a blast with you.
I think it is great that Jordon Won. I wish Jeff could of been beside her. He did his best in the jury house. This is the best BB of all I have watched (everyone) BECAUSE of Jeff and Jordon. They would make a great team in anything. Like Jordon says BFF. I hope its more but that would be great. Michell was great also and played hard and clean. Nat -LIE needs a keeper not a husband. Thanks BB for the best one yet.
I stopped watchingh Big Brother when my favorite Hottie got voted off which was laura
Hey Fred…Why is it that a large, fake breasted, no butt bikini model with attitude could win over the man?? (You) Granted, Laura IS very intelligent, but not smart enough to keep her mouth shut and called out the GAMER with an alliance??? Woooo! Not so smart. While the real blond, curvy, Southern girl doesn’t do it for ya??? This is what’s wrong with men in America today. They would rather convert their paycheck into dollar bills and go to the strip club than honor and protect a sweet, real woman!!! Team Jordan!!!
Jordan you are a sweetheart.I have been with BB from the 1st. and this is the first time some one won that I wanted to win. You are great. Always be you’r self
Congrats to Jordan winner of Big
Brother 11. You’re a wonderful
person and could make it work with
Jeff, but make sure he doesn’t have
any hidden temper issues or else
it won’t work out. And it’s not
fair for your nudity to be placed
in the internet for everyone to
see.. Even though you’ve got a
great body, and not a weight
problem to worry about. Good luck
to a wonderful future, stay safe,
and keep you’re faith with GOD,
you’ll never go wrong…
WHAT??? Jordan isn’t fat? Her legs are like an elephant, and she needs to have her boobs reduced so she doesn’t look like 5 by 5…Jeff will tire of this young lady before they even take the trip. God, she is making it hard for him to refuse, though.
What the heck was Natalie sayin…the network should shoot her wedding??????????
