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.
