Rockin Reporters Get Real with Jordan Lloyd & Jeff Schroeder

Travel free-k Jeff Schroeder is doing what we'd all die for Around the world With no dollars The man has a face that belongs in GQ, is in a job that allows him to travel the world, and what clinches it is that he gets to see the world for free! Jeff Schroeder is living the “goodlife”. Jeff is now a name and face that is synonymous with reality television and has garnered quite the fan following, which has now reached Bangalore. After sharing space on “Big Brother, America” and “The Amazing Race”, he is now the main man on “Around The World For Free”. So how does this work? Jeff travels around the world with nothing but the bare essentials, his camera man, Zsolt Luka and Saint Christopher (Saint of travel) for company. The men have no itinerary, no agenda and no money, yet they have spanned the globe starting from New York and fanned their way through Japan, Korea, Cambodia, and other countries and have now found themselves in India. Through their eyes “The audience pays for everything, but it's a two way thing, they help us and we help them in return. We want to open the eyes of peopleacross the globe through the show,” says Jeff about the show. The show is a popular topic on networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Jeff and Zsolt are living with radio jock Kenny Jones from Radio Indigo and his wife, Erica, here in Bangalore and were on air with him on his show. Within minutes the two who had no place to go from Bangalore had offers pouring in from across the city, inviting them to places acrossthe country. It was Erica's mother who told her that Jeff was on his way to India and before Erica knew it one thing had lead to another and she was playing host. Fourteen hours in the country and Jeff and Zsolt had already mastered the art of eating with their fingers. “We went to Gandh iBazaar and ate naan and the ‘dip', and I think I did a pretty good job of eating with my fingers,” says Jeff. Jeff's beginning in television with “Big Brother” was a complete fluke. “I knew nothing about the show, but ‘Big Brother' was good time,” he says. ‘“Amazing Race' was awesome, because I always wanted to travel, and when people ask me if I want to become a movie star, I say no, I just want to travel.” Jeff has also done a couple of commercials and a little birdie on the Internet also tells us that Jeff has made a special appearance on the eternal “The Bold And The Beautiful”. The decision to do “Around The World For Free” was immediate for Jeff, “I said yes right away, as soon as I knew it was legit and not a crank call.” “We came to India in Season One as well, but we did not have the right papers and were deported from your country. It did make for a fun story though,” says Zsolt. With his camera and his laptop, Zsolt has his entire production unit in his backpack, which makes the show possible. “In all the countries people have been so kind to us, without exception,” says Jeff. The two were stuck in Bangkok airport with nowhere to go but within hours, with the help of social networking and a little bit of kindness they had a place to stay. “The show has been tag-lined the ‘Ultimate trip in humanity',” says Zsolt and you suddenly realise that it couldn't have gotten more precise. People are willing to open their homes to a set of strangers in the name of goodwill, feed them, and make them a part of their life for a while. Visit cbs.com and be a part of Jeff's journey.

Jordan's HOH BLOG Posted On July 21, 2011 WOW... this has been one week as HOH. I was so nervous last Thursday at the HOH competition because I felt like Jeff and I would get sent home if one member of our alliance didn't win. All the hours of practicing paid off and thanks to Jeff and brandon for letting me win! I was so happy to get a letter from home. I miss my family, friends, and dog Maggie so much. When I read my letter, It made me want to try a lot harder to be here, because I know everyone back at home is cheering me on. I want to make my family proud. I hope everyone watching is enjoying this season so far. All the house guests are so awesome. For the most part everyone gets along and we have fun together. shelly is the "mom" of the group. She's always cleaning and doing laundry. She has a heart of gold and loves her family so much. whenever I get married, I hope I have the relationship and love that Shelly and her husband have. Spending the Summer with Jeff has been GREAT! I hope Jeff and I make it far in this game. I'm worried about this next HOH competition because I don't want us to get separated for the Summer. I'm so happy to have Jeff in here because he takes my mind off the game and we can have fun. We have are moments where we bicker but what couple doesn't. I love how Jeff always has my back and wont let anyone mess with me..haha. The whole argument at the veto competition with Jeff and Rachel is squashed. I think she was just upset cause I chose not to take slop and she did. I think sometimes she just really gets into competitions and doesn't mean what she says. Rachel isn't as bad as she seems. she's very sweet and caring. I think she just has such a big personality that some people get a little aggravated with her and her comments. Rachel means well. Brandon is so funny. He's a very calm person and I think him and rachel balance each other out. I think he is also very intelligent and nice. Cassie is a beautiful person inside and out. She's the girl that gets along with everyone and is very laid back. I enjoy talking to her and shelly because you know their good people. Lawan and Kaleigha are HILARIOUS together. I love them. Lawan's always happy and dancing and kaleigha is fun to talk to. Her and I can talk for hours about everything and we both like to gossip haha. I told her were like Deon and Cher from clueless. Dominique's like everyones little brother you pick on. He's such a good kid. You can tell his mom raised him right because he's very polite. Adam's crazy! who would have thought that someone like him who loves heavy metal is obsessed with 90210. Adams a very nice person and is so happy to be here! Every time he talks about BB he just lights up. Danny is great to have around because she tells you like it is and I love how she's a little sassy. I enjoy laying out with her at the pool and feel like she's a good alliance member. Were all sad Dick had to leave. He's a very nice man and very entertaining. Jeff and I would have loved to play this season with Dick because there's never a dull moment with him. This has been a emotional week for everyone. At the veto ceremony I had to put up Shelly and Cassie and that wasn't really what I wanted to do. I felt like Shelly, Cassie, Jeff and I would have made a great team together. I felt awful when I put them on the block. I almost cried during my speech and then after the ceremony they were crying so I started to because I felt like I disappointed them. Its hard being HOH with this many people in the house because you cant please everyone. I couldn't turn on my alliance because it would be dumb on my part this early in the game. I have to look out for Jeff and I and whats going to further us in this game and I felt like that was the best decision. Besides all the emotions and drama between the girls this has been a great summer so far and I'm so happy to be here again and hope to make it far with Jeff!

HOH Blog: Jeff Posted on Aug 25, 2011 10:30pm ­­hey everyone its big jeff here your new HOH. let me start off by explaining the 3rd person nickname "big jeff". it started off as just a joke between me and my buddies, and some how in the BB house it got out of control a little bit so sorry about the the 3rd person references in the DR, just having fun. i wanted to give a little shout out to my brother scott for all the great pic's of me, my parents, nieces, himself, and my HOH basket. thank you marley and macy for the wonderful letters you wrote me, really made my day and gave me more motivation than ever to understand what i was playing for and why i'm here, TO WIN!! my sister in law ali got the shaft from from my HOH pic's but i was still thinking of you! i also have another older brother people might not know about with a wife and 5 kids and i wish them all the best as well. my parents, family and good friends thanks for all the support! love you very much!!! i'm gonna do my very best to get jordan and i to the final 2, im determined and extremely motivated!!! really quick just wanted to say hi to dick sorry you had to go brother, hope all is well! Also keith, cassi, & dom, can't believe you guys were locked up that long, it was good seeing you all again, looking forward to the final so we can all hang out again! now as far my new house mates, casey is hilarious in his banana suit! no wait, that was the other season haha. seriously its a total different game this time around! of the remaining house guests lets start with shelly. shelly is awesome, so down to earth, easy to talk to. now on a totally different subject lets go to rachel. rachel rachel rachel, what a handful to say the least. i truly think she means well but just has a bit of growing up to do. but like i said i think her heart is in the right place. i'm learning more and more how to understand her each day. adam's turn. adam is a great guy, big heart, full of laughs and his best attribute to me is how he takes jokes so well. some people in here are way to sensitive and adam is the opposite. i'm glad he's here to cut up with on a daily basis. good people. okay daniele's turn. what do i say about daniele? i think me and daniele are very similar in a lot of ways but just play the game very differently. i would have loved to work with her but the way things went down early on, it just wasn't meant to be… she's not to happy with big jeff at the moment so will just move on to the next person. kalia…. well kalia does a lot of talking and also a lot of sleeping haha, its true! early on i thought that kalia was pretty cool, but im not sure its kalia who is left in this house anymore? she seems to have been drinking whatever juice daniele has been giving her and has made a visible change in her personality.. but once we get outta here im sure she'll come back to her normal fun kalia self. porsche……… your guess is probably better than mine on how porsche is. i think i talked to her about an hour in total in 54 days. she's seems like a really fun girl, seriously, but im not sure if she's really as bubbly as she puts out, or if she a BB mastermind and has been playing us all along? haha, honestly, i don't have a clue? she likes to bake and she's good at making things out of clay. good job porsche! ha now lets do JORDAN!! jordan is of course the best as im sure you all can see, she is trying really really hard and is more competitive than i have ever seen her!!! kinda turns me on! haha. but the best thing is she hasn't lost how sweet and kind she is, that girl is truly one of a kind!! she did a wonderful thing when she gave up that phone call to home, because i know how much she wanted to talk to her mom! but she did the right thing and that's one of the many things i love about jordan to say the least! without her here i'm sure how i would get through this!! we are both happy we made it this far and that we are the last couple remaining in the house! but were not done yet, trust me! in closing just wanted to say thank you so much again to my family for everything, hope im not doing anything to embarrass you too badly… my friends, also people watching the show who like big jeff, thanks for all the support!!! if you don't like big jeff you should not be reading this and you should be doing something more productive with your day other than correcting all my grammar mistakes losers! haha PEACE IM OUTTA HERE!!! Jeff

Hey Big Jeff this is B.B.A.D Radio and thanks for answering some of our questions. We heard right before the live show that there was a big blow out between you, Shelly, and Adam. What sparked this so close to the live show and what occurred? It was just to call Shelly out. She made three deals with other people in the house. That might have been my demise, but it happened the way it happened. I wasn’t scared of anyone in the house, but ultimately that was my demise. Either way, I’m out and they are in. If you had known prior that there was going to be a double eviction yesterday, would your strategy had been any different? I don’t know what I could have done to prepare even if I had known…But I definitely would not have had it out with Shelly. You didn't seem like the same Jeff from Season 11 as you were this season. We saw a lot more intensity out of you. Was this your plan from the beginning to play so hard? No – it wasn’t. It was just a very stressful situation and I didn’t enjoy that. I don’t like to feel that way, but unfortunately that is the way it turned out. How different was it playing this season as opposed to your last season? My first season…I think there were more personalities inside the house. People were not afraid to express who they were. This season -- people didn’t express their personalities or maybe they just don’t have personalities worth expressing? Do you regret any of your decisions and would you have done anything differently? Wish I wouldn’t have been a target. Why didn't you put Daniele initially up on the block? She very well could have won Veto and taken one of your noms up and you would have put up one of your alliance members. I took a chance -- if Daniel would have won, she would have still thought we were working together. If she didn’t win, I would have gotten rid of her. Either way I would have been safe. Are you surprised you were voted out against Rachel who most everyone seemed to not like or annoyed with? I’m still shocked. Do you wish you would have kept Dominic over Adam? No. Dom ultimately wanted to backdoor me so absolutely not. As the weeks progressed we started hearing you refer to yourself as Big Jeff more and more. What's up with the "Big Jeff"? That was just a nickname that me and my California buddies joke around with…it became a joke inside the house and I was just having fun with it. With Brenchel's trashbag wedding, did the wedding bug hit you? Maybe, but I would probably class mine up a little bit. You had said it was difficult to worry about keeping yourself and Jordan safe. Do you think you would have had it easier if you played the game without Jordan? Yes and No. Yes, because I would not have to worry about both of us. I know Jordan can take care of herself, but it’s just my nature to protect her. No, because I have never played without her. She keeps me sane inside the house. I would rather have her there. Which houseguest would you like to see follow you into the jury house next? Shelly Source: http://bbad.forumotion.net/t984-bbad-radio-exclusive-interview-with-jeff-schroeder#13358

Big Brother 13: Exclusive Interview with Jeff Schroeder by Gina Scarpa Things change quickly in the Big Brother house and nobody knows that better than Jeff. One minute, he was HOH and backdooring Daniele and the next minute, he was following her to the jury house after playing a week's worth of the game in one night. Today, we talked to the fan favorite in an exclusive interview about broken alliances, the fight with Shelly, and what he thinks of Rachel's and Jordan's chances in the game. Q. Gina, RealityWanted: You and Jordan have gained a lot of fame from being on Big Brother and The Amazing Race. What brought you back to play the game a second time - money or the desire to compete? A. Jeff: It was such a great opportunity to do it twice. It was mentally challenging, but it's a blessing to be able to play again. How many people get that chance? After the initial shock of last night wears off, it will be a great part of my life. Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What was the fight this week with Shelly about? Is it because she told Rachel that you threw the cornhole challenge? A. Jeff: It was just to call Shelly out. She made three deals with other people in the house. That might have been my demise, but it happened the way it happened. I wasn't scared of anyone in the house, but ultimately, that was my demise. Either way, I'm out and they are in. Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Are you surprised that she suddenly turned on your alliance? A. Jeff: Shocked. I thought I would be friends with Shelly after the game - and I want to say that it is all just a game - but for Shelly to do something like that really hurt. Right now, it stings, but we'll see how I feel at the finale. Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Playing a week's worth of Big Brother in one night might be great television but it seems pretty terrible if you're a player and end up on the wrong side of things. Could things have gone differently if tonight's events took place over the course of a week? A. Jeff: I don't know what I could have done to prepare even if I had known, but I definitely would not have had it out with Shelly yesterday. Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Jordan and Rachel were both very upset that you left the house. Do you think they can make it to the end if Adam sticks with them? A. Jeff: Yes I do. Rachel is a strong competitor and Jordan gets focused when I'm not in that house. I think they are twice the competitors that the other girls are and I think they have a good chance Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What do you want to say to your fans? A. Jeff: To the people who were rooting for me, thanks for all the support. And to those who didn't love me, congratulations, I'm out of the house. Source: http://www.realitywanted.com/newsitem/4634-big-brother-13-exclusive-interview-with-jeff-schroeder

We caught up with Jeff Schroeder this weekend and got his thoughts on Daniele, the Big Brother 13 double eviction and his future plans with Jordan. Chloe: Does it feel a little like deja vu right now? Jeff: No because the double eviction is blindsiding. The last time I left I had a week to come to terms with it. This is what I feared most. People only had to look me in the eyes for 30 seconds last night. I have a lot of unfinished business in that house…at least I am in good spirits. Chloe: Do you think things would have turned out differently had you kept Daniele in the game? Jeff: I could never trust Daniele after she tried to backdoor me. Do I think she would have done it again? Yes. My best move was getting rid of Daniele. Chloe: Who do you want sitting with Jordan in the final two? Jeff: Adam Chloe: Who do you want to see evicted next week? Jeff: Shelly, Kalia or Porsche – any one of them would be great. Chloe: Have you and Jordan talked about marriage at all? Is that a possibility anytime soon? Jeff: After this time on the show, we’ll need some time to decompress. And then we’ll definitely start taking the next step…we’ll leave it at that. Chloe: If you could change one move you made, what would it be? What does Jordan need to do to make it to the finals? Jeff: I don’t know. The way I play the game is opposite of all the remaining HG. Maybe she will have to take more naps like everyone else in the house. I think Jordan will do fine. I’m out and she is in – she did it without me last time and she can do it again.
