WLBB’s Eviction Interview with Jeff Schroeder from Big Brother 11
Posted on: Friday, September 4, 2009 at 9:04amWeLoveBigBrother.com spoke with Jeff Schroeder the morning after his eviction from Big Brother 11. Read what he has to say about the remaining houseguests, Jordan, and his expected time in the jury house.
Hi Jeff, this is Brian Scheffler from WeLoveBigBrother.com. I think we saw the biggest reaction from a live audience last night when you walked out the front door. As the winner of the Coup D’Etat you must have expected that you had some fans out there, but were you shocked to receive a standing ovation during your eviction walk?
Jeff Schroeder: OY, YEAH. I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY THAT KIND OF RESPONSE. I DIDN’T REALLY KNOW ABOUT THE STANDING OVATION THING (I THOUGHT THEY DID THAT FOR EVERYONE) UNTIL JULIE MENTIONED IT. IT DEFINITELY EASED THE PAIN A LITTLE BIT COMIMG OUT OF THE HOUSE… A RESPONSE LIKE THAT.
WLBB: How do you think Jordan will handle her remaining time in the house without you, both emotionally and with game-play?
JS: I THINK SHE’LL BE ALRIGHT. THERE’S ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS LEFT… I THINK THE FIRST DAY OR TWO WILL BE THE WORST FOR HER TO GET OVER THE SHOCK OF ME LEAVING. BUT, AFTER, I THINK SHE’LL ADAPT TO THE SITUATION AND, HOPEFULLY, KEEPS HER HEAD AND MAKES IT TO THE FINAL TWO.
WLBB: via @hawkeyefan91 on Twitter.com/wlbb: If you never met Jordan and never became close with her, would you have made it this far in the game? Or did she help you in the game?
JS: JORDAN HELPED ME EMOTIONALLY AND WITH MY MINDSET. I COULDN’T IMAGE THE GAME WITHOUT JORDAN (CONSIDERING I’D NEVER DONE IT BEFORE… SO, I DON’T KNOW ANY OTHER WAY).
WLBB: When you found the key to release Kevin from Pandora’s Box, were you hoping it held another “wizard power” to help you in the game?
JS: ABSOLUTELY… NOT ONLY WAS I HOPING… I WAS DEPENDING ON IT!
WLBB: If you had the chance to exchange all of your extra prizes from competitions for a pass into next week, would you have taken the risk to stay at least one more week?
JS: ABSOLUTELY… WITHOUT QUESTION… I FEEL IF I’D HAVE STAYED ONE MORE WEEK, I WOULD HAVE WON THE GAME.
WLBB: On the show you stated that if you don’t win you would like to see Jordan win the game. Who does Jordan have the best chance of winning against in the final two? And do you see that as a possibility or reality?
JS: I FEEL THAT JORDAN HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF WINNING AGAINST NATALIE IN THE FINAL TWO… ONLY BECAUSE NATALIE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING THROUGHOUT THE GAME AND JORDAN AT LEAST WONE ONE HOH AND POV ALONG THE WAY. YES, I SEE THAT AS A POSSIBILITY.
WLBB: Do you still intend to take Jordan to a Bears game? You’ll be happy to know that the football season is starting up because a Bears pre-season game interrupted your eviction in our area but we’ll watch BB11 when it airs at midnight!
JS: OH, FOR SURE… WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT!
WLBB: via @OliviaRoy on Twitter.com/wlbb: Would you ever consider doing The Amazing Race with Jordan?
JS: OH, BOY… I’D DO “THE AMAZING RACE,” MAYBE NOT WITH JORDAN, THOUGH. WE MIGHT KILL EACH OTHER 
WLBB: via @AmandaGlov on Twitter.com/wlbb: Since you won the trip to hawaii, are you planning on taking Jordan?
JS: THE HAWAII TRIP IS STILL A QUESTION MARK …IF SHE WINS, IT MIGHT SWEETEN THE DEAL …KIDDING.
WLBB: Thanks for taking the time to talk to WeLoveBigBrother.com!
Jeff may be good looking but Big Brother on TV made him look much different than the feeds most of the time as far as the way he treated Jordan. He constantly put her down, and to say on National TV, “I’m just trying to make her a better person”…Jordan is a wonderful person. She is who she is. No need to change that. There were many other things he would say and react to her. If I was Jordan’s Mom I hope she realizes Jeff is abusive and has anger management issues and will get that across to Jordan. Plus he told Russell to “Man Up”. Though I didn’t care for Russell’s stragety, Jeff didn’t take his own advice to, “Man Up”. His Speech when asking for votes at Eviction time was very childish and uncalled for. I believe if I was on the fence about my vote I would have given my vote to Jordan after hearing that. He threw Jordan under the bus, then didn’t even give her the goodbye kiss they had planned…a bitter and angry goodbye from Jeff. He would not have gotten a standing ovation from me.
September 4, 2009 at 9:44 amSorry but I think Jeff played a great game and left Jordan great advice.
September 4, 2009 at 10:27 amJeff was not mean to jordan at all…he was always very kind to her…i watch the feeds and after dark so i know both side of jeff…and I think the comment about making her a better person was really meant to say better at the game…he was trying to get her to memorize stuff for a competition it had nothing to do with her as a person…over all jeff was pretty good considering the game…he never turned on jordan even in the end he tried to get votes to stay but never said anything bad about jordan to get them…jordan would be lucky to he a guy like him…and he would be lucky too
September 4, 2009 at 10:34 amI have to disagree, I also watched the feeds and Jeff is what brought life to the house. Everyone in that house made bad comments to each other. Kevin did, Natalie did, Lydia has, Braden, Russell and certainly Chima. We don’t realize the pressure these people are in day to day. I am not excusing the things they say, because they are wrong. But, guaranteed they said them out of anger and in the moment. Jeff is a human being like many of us. None of us our perfect, maybe that was who Jeff was supposed to look like, but the truth is he isn’t. He is a human being. We all make mistakes and they all did in that house. Period.
What Jeff did do was bring tons of laughs, and tried to stay positive throughout the experience. Thanks for giving that to us the audience, Jeff. I will always remember this summer of Big Brother 11 because of Jeff and Jordan. He made Big Brother 11 a great experience for me. He cracked me up on the live feeds.
People can say what they want, but he’s a great guy and I can see it, both inside and out.
He definitely would get a standing ovation from me!
September 4, 2009 at 10:35 amObviously Jeff isn’t perfect, but he is a really great guy. I watched the feeds every single day from morning to night. When I watch BB, it takes over my life. Sure Jeff said some things I didn’t agree with at times, but we all do that. We’d be lying if we said we didn’t talk about some people behind their backs or lose our temper. Most the time he did it, it was done in confidence while venting to a friend. Just because it’s on camera now doesn’t mean it’s any different than real life. It’s expected. It happens. I don’t take offense to houseguest bashing in the house whether it’s against my favorites or my least favorites. It’s just not a big deal to me. It’s life.
What Jeff definitely brought to the house and game was the fun and excitement. He had some of the best one-liners of the season by far. He’s so incredibly witty. Even without winning, he became my favorite houseguest. It’ll be tough for others to try to steal that spot from him, I don’t really see it happening any time soon. He will be missed.
September 4, 2009 at 10:56 amI think Jeff was a great presence in the house, not only a great player, but a real, what you see is what you get person. I thought him and Jordan were adorable, they got eachother from day one, he would get frustrated and she always knew how to calm him down, and he knew how to encourage her and keep believing in herself, they were ying and yang together. He says he wouldn’t change a thing, he would still stick by her if he had to do it all over again. They made eachother laugh every day, they enjoyed eachother, and they simply just grew on one another more and more as time went by. I think Jordan’s family should be happy she had Jeff to lean on, as Jeff’s family happy he had Jordan to stick by him when he was way down that first week. He totally cares for Jordan and wanted to do everything in his power to get them at least to the Jury house and hopefully the final two. Before leaving he encouraged her to win this thing, to stay positive and get her ma a house. She knew he protected her and encouraged him to fight to stay in the house, they rooted for eachother, they have a true friendship, that who knows some day may become more!! I always said go Jeff and Jordan, now that Jeff is gone, Go Jordan do this thing!! Thanks Jeff for a great season and being a great player, now that your in the jury house the show will not be the same!!
September 4, 2009 at 10:58 amJeff was NOT mean to Jordan!!!…they had a playful side to each of them and cracks were part of it. When Jeff said he was helping Jordan be a better person it is because Jordan does have self esteem issues…it’s obvious. Everyone including Jordan saw it! She needs that bucking up from Jeff whom she has stated several times in the house that she looks up to him as being wiser….Flashback it yourself!…what else is Jeff supposed to do with that?
September 4, 2009 at 11:40 amAnyone who says jeff was mean to Jordan was NOT a 24/7 feed watcher. They had many very, very tender loving true friendship moments along with some times when they go ton each others nerves…who wouldn’t locked up 24/7? Jeff has stated Jordan helped him so much. I think he deserves tremendous props and respect for his treatment of her….in all honesty she did get annoying at times due to her naivety.
Now that jeff is out I am too! I want Michele to win but CBS needs to learn to pick better players with way more integrity than Natalie, Kevin, Lydia and Chima. Maybe with my boycott of the show and feeds they will think twice next year. I realize this is a game but the quality of house guests needs to be a lot better.
Jeff should feel like a real ass about the way he has patronized Jordan throughout the last month of this game of BB. He may not have come out and said “you are stupid” but he let her know it in every way. As a teacher, I believe that Jordan has ADD (attention deficit disorder) since she said her brother is learning disabled. This causes serious problems with concentration and focus, as we all saw. Chastizing a person is the worst possible way to help out, and like the above poster, Jordan would not have been made a “better person” had she been able to win the comps necessary to clutch the $500,000 for Jeff. (and thus earned the trip to Hawaii that he is still dangling in front of her nose like I would my dog a special treat)
Jordan, you are one kind and selfless girl and I also hope your Mother will reinforce this in you. I also hope you hold onto your dreams of going back to school and never find yourself needing a man (especially one with an ego like Jeff’s) to berate you and act like a Father to you.
Jordan or Michelle FTW!!!!
September 4, 2009 at 12:07 pmJeff was a great choice by the producers. A real leader and personable kind of guy with a great sense of humor.he should go on to do biger things. It is interesting that the people in the Jury House said they would have voted for him. Now there are no outstanding guests and the end will be a slow grind this year. Just watch the ratings drop! One website said the fans “groaned” last night. I am sure the producers did also.
September 4, 2009 at 12:15 pmI loved watching Jeff on the show and while he would get snippy with Jordan occassionally that occurs in most relationships. I was sorry to see him backdoor Russell and I believe when he sees the tapes he will realize that that move was his downfall. Great game Jeff and hope it brings you some good things in the future!
September 4, 2009 at 12:24 pmso sad to see the sharpest player in the game leave. i hope jordan tteams up with michelle and kicks gnat and kevins butt out of the game i’ll miss my eye candy 3 times aweek
September 4, 2009 at 12:50 pmJeff made the show I just love him and jordan.he never was mean to jordan I think he deserved to win big brother.I don’t even want to watch it anymore he was a great person whoever thinks not are silly I think him and jordan will get together.jeff your awesome and I love you I am your biggest fan.
September 4, 2009 at 2:49 pmJeff and Jordan were awesome to each other. Nothing Jeff said to Jordan was meant to hurt her, and she knew that. She’s a big girl. She could (and did) defend herself if she thought Jeff was being a brat. Jeff is freaking awesome!
September 4, 2009 at 6:12 pmNo way was Jeff mean to Jordan. I watched BBAD everynite since it started, except for tonite. Can’t stand Knat anymore. Jeff was kind & protective of Jordan. She has a naive way about her. She says stuff that is very surprising to hear. Like, what’s the Vatican? She does not know the difference between a peach & a nectarine. Come on, she’s not book smart, but she is sweet & kind. She’s totally lost without Jeff. Hope she can get back to concentrating on her game.
And no, I don’t believe she has ADD (attention deficit disorder). I have a son that has it & Jordan does not have it. Jordan needs more formal education. Ten percent of the population has ADD, mostly boys, very few girls.
Jordan & Jeff were great together as a team. Hope all works out for them.
September 4, 2009 at 6:40 pmNO WAY IN HELL WAS JEFF DELIBERATELY MEAN TO JORDAN! Been there, done that & GOT RID OF THAT IN MY LIFE.Besides,not that it’d have a major bearing,but odds are, Jordan is more than likely as WHOLESOME & as pure as freshly fallen snow..she’s still INNOCENT to the[evil] ways of the world.. In short..unlike the rest of SOME of us, she’s not been TAINTED by the REAL WORLD..not to mention the age difference btwn the two of them..for pete’s sake, think back to when you all where once- YOUNG, DUMB & well YOU know the rest.No, I believe there’s PLENTY of room for their relationship to grow.Jordan can hold her own when she’s had enough, we already saw that when she took on Russell WITH A CHEST BUMP might I add!
September 4, 2009 at 8:43 pmHey quick question to everyone.. Where are you signing in from / on when leaving a posting here..? I come directly to the We Love Big Brother .com website, but I noticed some of the names posted are hi-lighted while others aren’t
September 4, 2009 at 8:56 pmMy only means of internet access is via my mobile phone
September 4, 2009 at 8:58 pmOf the final 4 anyone of them has played a better game than Natalie. She is the most dishonest of all and such a sore loser. She thinks its admirable to put people down to their face. She’s lucky I’mnot in the jury house.
September 4, 2009 at 10:33 pmMy husband and I decided we wouldn’t watch the show anymore, since Jeff was evicted. He and Jordan made it so much fun to watch. Their honesty and sweetness was so refreshing…unlike egomaniac Jesse and witch Chima! It was nice that their strategy wasn’t built on lie after lie! Of course Jesse let his three bimbos do all his lying..he would be a real good cult leader! How sickening to see those supposedly mature girls crying over him! Wonder what Natalie’s boyfriend thought of that? Jeff and Jordan showed more class than any players I’ve ever seen. I think Natalie is the biggest liar of all,but she’ll probably win the money…that’s why we’re not watching anymore, except the final show (to see Jeff and Jordan again). I’ll bet The Bachelor/Bachelorette shows will be contacting them. Natalie, on the other hand, was a liar from the beginning. Why wouldn’t she be proud of her age and her Tae Kwan Do accomplishments, instead of her poker expertise.It sure gives you a clue as to what kind of person she really is in real life! We liked Kevin at first, until he starting teaming with the liars…he sure lost a lot of respect from many viewers. And Michele…well, I have known many brilliant people in the medical field and some of them were just like her-not a good memory and not very good at lying either. Also, wish they had given Jeff a safety net for finding the key…that would have really have been the “icing on the cake” for Kevin and Natalie. Makes me also wonder what Natalie’s boyfriend thought of her is Jesse’s bed all the time and being so jealous of Lydia. It wouldn’t surprise me if Chima’s mommy and daddy didn’t hire a lawyer for her to sue Big Brother! She’s the most unclassy person I’ve ever seen. Can’t see any man wanting to be around her for very long…she’s totally rotten (just like Natalie).It sure shows the true personalities on the Big Brother After Dark show. Even Jesse lost respect for Natalie for lying about her age and said he wouldn’t vote for her.Well, you know Jordan and Michele are gone, so it’s no fun to watch anymore until the final episide. I sure wish Jordan would win so she could buy her mom a house. What sweethearts she and Jeff are!
September 4, 2009 at 11:41 pmJeff your the best and i wish you were the winner, i dont really care who wins now, iam sad, ithought you were going to win.
September 5, 2009 at 12:41 amJeff you will be a star, so just see how many fans you have, your a grat player and a good looking guy and you have the world waiting for you Tammy
September 5, 2009 at 12:43 amBye for now!!!! Jeff your great
September 5, 2009 at 12:46 amomg you people are crazy. 1st of all i watched the live feeds 24/7 and jeff was mean to jordan at times when they both won back to back hoh. but i wouldnt say that was his true nature. when they were the underdogs and in the BY all the time jeff was sweet but once he got hoh and was up in the hoh room all the time and got paranoid he did start getting mean to jordan. and dont say he didnt becuz if u truely did watch 24/7 u would have heard jordan say her self that jeff was being mean. there were a few times where jordan looked upset and just wanted and apology but jeff wouldnt do it. and as for being a great player well your wrong there too. jeff made a good play using the cdt but after that he made some extremely dumb ones. 1st he should have gotten rid of natalie instead of lydia. lydia was the worst at this game. instead he kept natalie who had cried hystericle when jeff used the cdt to get him out. did he think she already got over it? lydia wasnt a threat to anyone. then he got rid of russ to early. if he was a great player he would have taken out nat. then taken out lydia but at the same time made a final 3 deal with kev and jordo and if kev won hoh he was to take out russell this way he wasnt the one to break the final 4. then jeff mich and jordan could have taken out kevin cuz he couldnt play for hoh but if kev happen to win pov he would take out mich if jeff would have done this he definetly would have made the final 3 with himself jordan and either kev or mich. and jeff kept saying that if russ won hoh he was gona get him out the next week if he didnt get rid of russ. well thats wasnt possible. even if russ won hoh and put kev and jeff on block michele and jordo would have voted to evict kevin. jeff always thought that the hoh decides who goes home well thats not true its the other hgs who vote to evict that person out. i am a jeff fan but he didnt understand how the game is plaxed. i think if jeff would have not stayed up in the hoh room when he won i think him and russ would have stayed close and he could have not back doord him.
September 5, 2009 at 5:02 amDid anyone notice when Jeff was Evicted, Big Brother didnt show him goodbye messages ? Wonder why or what happened. Just rewatched it cuz i have it on my dvr and everyone else who was evicted except of course “Chiman” Got a few select goodbyes. HMMMMM? Makes U wonder
September 5, 2009 at 7:47 amYes I did notice that do you think he might come back into the house?that would be awesome…….
September 5, 2009 at 8:05 amUhhhhh, mean to her? No! I don’t believe he carried her either. I think they helped each other get further in the game! Yeah, they both got a little irritated with one another but are you serious? After 60 days of being in a house, if anyone here thinks they would be any better, you are FOOL OF SH*T!
You’re the man Jeff!
September 5, 2009 at 8:32 amok lets see what jordan thought. there were times on the live feed when jordan said the actual words ”jeff your being mean and i dont like this jeff”. and the look on her face was that of someone who was upset and hurt. she even asked for an apology and he said ”for what’?’ and then you could tell her feelings wer hurt. even jordan said he was being mean and she was the person it was happening to. being mean doesnt have to be someone hitting someone or cursing at someone. . now i do think that being in that house can make someone act different so maybe he wouldnt act like that outside of the house but the fact that when she felt hurt he couldnt say he was sorry to her says alot. listen i like jeff i think he was the nicest guy on bb but the bottom line is he was mean at times to jordan.
September 5, 2009 at 10:25 amI think Jeff played Jordan. He never once agreed to her game/deal…take her on his Hawaii trip and buy her the earrings she wanted in exchange for throwing the game his way. He would only say, “I have to win first,” which is a way of avoiding the issue.
The correct answer, Jeff, would be, “Sure Jordan, if I win, I will do those things for you,” if he had any intentions at all of complying to her wishes. And when and if he did act like he was entertaining the idea, it was only on the condition that she have sex with him. Remember him saying, “We can become boy/girlfriend on the flight to Hawaii and break up on the flight home.
September 5, 2009 at 11:05 amWhenever Jordan said Jeff was “eman” or she didn’t like that Jeff, it took maybe 15 seconds before they both started smirking and laughing. Jordan never looked hurt or distraught, devastated, etc. She had a great personality and when she got pissed, you knew it..hello, Russell? Jeff and Jordan had each other’s backs. They were the best of BB11. I hope they get together and live a long and thrilling life. Go JORDAN!!!!
September 5, 2009 at 2:24 pmEr, sorry. LOL. Not “eman” I meant “mean”
September 5, 2009 at 2:25 pmhey jeff you playrd a great game. best of luck to you, a Chicago fan!!
September 5, 2009 at 4:55 pmJeff you were awesome! I really wanted you to win the game! Good luck in the future… I’m sure some modeling agent will be calling you. LOL! You are so sexy!
Oh and please take Jord-o to Hawaii with you!
September 5, 2009 at 7:23 pmJeff needs to come back for all-stars!
September 6, 2009 at 8:46 amGnat wins everyone should never watch this show again. CBS should give everyone’s money back for the live feeds. Watching Gnat everyday was exhausting. I am sad that this is my last year, I am so upset I am having problems with this message Please everyone don’t watch anymore make a statement to CBS. I thought Evil Dick was bad but Gnat……
September 7, 2009 at 5:49 amBB11 is boring now and not worth watching since Jeff was evicted. Can’t take the compulsive and preditable liar, Natalie.
September 7, 2009 at 1:17 pmCan’t wait for this to be over. Too much scheming & backstabbing for me. Jordan, Jeff, and Michelle made it interesting & fun. Knat has become intolerable! Can’t stand to see her face or hear her voice.
September 7, 2009 at 5:28 pmI watched the 24/7 live feeds and After Dark everyday. Jeff was very nice to Jordan. At times, he would get frustrated with her which we all would if you had to be around each other 24/7. He never made her feel stupid. If they had any kind of disagreement he was the first to say he was wrong and to apologize. Jeff is a charming, witty an all around great guy. When he said he wanted to improve Jordon on the live show, he was referring to her game. He protected Jordan. Jordan calmed him down and think things through. They were awesome together and provided hours of entertainment. I was hoping they would win. The show is terrible without them.
September 8, 2009 at 4:58 amJeff is a jerk and i witnessed several potentially abusive, dysfunctional situations between Jeff and Jordan. Many abusers appear “charming” to others and this allows them to get away and continue with unacceptable behaviors.
Go Natalie! She came on the show to play and she’s doing the show justice. I’ve read comments from BB11 fans that have been far worse than anything Natalie has done. She has been as loyal as the game has allowed.
September 8, 2009 at 7:36 pmJeff made me feel proud of the way he would look at Jordan with a smile on his face even when she messed up in some way. He was very protective over her. He is a true MAN who sometimes surprised me about the caring way he spoke about Jordan and was not afraid to let the other males know of his feelings toward her. Jeff was also a true gentleman and Jordan was a true lady. They became true friends. Now that is a good basis for a good relationship. Hope Jeff or Jordan win the $25,000!
September 9, 2009 at 6:10 pmIt has not been the same with Jeff gone, boring! I hope he takes Jordo to Hawaii you never know what could happen. They seem to have geniun feelings for each other. I can’t stand that burger picking, boy looking Natalie, or Kevin. If they make it to the final two, it will be a travisty.
September 9, 2009 at 9:01 pmnatile have to go, she did nothing in the game, she never tried only lied.
September 11, 2009 at 8:50 am[...] post is by admin onIn short..unlike the rest of SOME of us, she’s not been TAINTED by the REAL WORLD..not to [...]

September 16, 2009 at 2:30 amI THINK JEFF IS A DOWN TO EARTH PERSON. I HOPE HE COMES TO BROOKLYN. I WOULD LOVE TO SHOW HIM AROUND. HE WOULD HAVE A BLAST. LET ME KNOW JEFF IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON COMING TO BROOKLYN!!!!!
September 29, 2009 at 7:36 pmHI JEFF, IF YOU COME TO BROOKLYN. WE CAN CHECK OUT OUR COOL SPORTS BARS!!!!!!!!!! LUCY6269@aol.com
