Exclusive: Big Brother's Jeff Schroeder Guest Stars on The Bold and the Beautiful Jul 18, 2013 by Michael Logan As one of the most popular players in Big Brother history, Jeff Schroeder has been exposed to a whole lot of lying, cheating and backstabbing — so he should fit right in at a daytime soap! TV Guide Magazine has learned that the reality-show fave and CBS.com host will be seen on The Bold and the Beautiful August 27 in sequences involving the production of Room 8, the show-within-a-show starring Maya (Karla Mosley) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor). Schroeder gave us the lowdown on his suds gig, the state of his romance with Big Brother 11 winner Jordan Lloyd and, of course, those scandals that have been rocking Big Brother 15! TV Guide Magazine: This isn't your first time on B&B, right? Didn't you and Jordan cameo in a prom sequence a few years back? Schroeder: Yes, but I had forgotten all about it until I showed up on the set this time! We had appeared on the soap in this 1980s flashback scene right after Jordan won Big Brother. Immediately after. Like, two minutes after! And it was all such a crazy blur for us, a real whirlwind because of all the media stuff that was going on. But how could I forget it? Jordan had the big '80s hair and I had the puffy shirt. It was a supercool experience, exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time. TV Guide Magazine: And, now, four years later? Schroeder: [Laughs] I'm still screwing up my lines! I had a scene with Karla who was super-awesome but, when we were on set, it was all so real and she was looking right into my eyes and I got caught up in the moment and forgot what I was supposed to say! I got it on the second take, so I didn't embarrass myself too badly. I play a production assistant—slash—janitor at the Room 8 show. I have a mop and a huge garbage can, but I really felt at home cleaning floors because I got into a little trouble in high school and had to be a janitor for the rest of my senior year. TV Guide Magazine: Do tell! What kind of trouble? Schroeder: Let's just say it's a long story. TV Guide Magazine: I got the time. Schroeder: It was nothing illegal but I was bad, let's just put it that way. It wasn't, like, jail time. It was community service and it really taught me a lesson. TV Guide Magazine: A lot of wannabe actors who've diligently gone to school, paid their dues and pounded the pavement for years would die for a few lines on a soap. Any of them ever give you grief? Schroeder: That's a fair question. Serious actors do not take too kindly to us reality-TV people, because we're getting a lot of opportunities. But I feel very lucky and grateful for this kind of work. I don't take it for granted. I know there are a lot of people who want to act but I want a career in this business, too. [Laughs] I feel bad but not that bad. I gotta keep in the fight! And it's not like I'm stealing major motion pictures from anybody. TV Guide Magazine: You're also hosting the live Big Brother chats on CBS.com. What's your take on the racism, sexism and homophobia that's rampant in the house this season? Schroeder: I am so surprised! The houseguests know they're on camera 24/7 and should be much more aware of what they're saying. Now they're going to have to pay for it once the game is over. Some have already paid by losing their jobs, though they don't know it yet. Hopefully, they'll learn from what they've done wrong, but I don't think the answer is spreading hate with more hate. I've seen a lot of things being said about this situation online and some of the viewer responses are just as ugly as what's being said in the house. I don't like all this public bashing. Fighting hate with hate doesn't work. Don't get me wrong. I don't condone the terrible stuff that's being said in the house, nor am I trying to protect those players but I believe educating them when they get out is the key. You can only hope they'll learn from their mistakes and become better people. TV Guide Magazine: You and I interviewed each of the houseguests at the Big Brother press junket before they entered the game. Could you see any of this coming? Because I sure as hell didn't. Schroeder: Not at all! I'm with you 100 percent. I thought each of them had a great personality and a great energy and that they all brought something positive to the table. I didn't get a whiff of this. Nothing even close. TV Guide Magazine: Someone who was cool then and is still cool is Amanda, who told me she flirted so outrageously with you during your interview that she was sure you'd be suing her for sexual harassment. Comment? Schroeder: Yes, Amanda was very playful and flirty but I definitely used Jordan as a deflection. I said, "Amanda, you know I'm taken!" TV Guide Magazine: And that brings me to my last question: Why have so few Big Brother showmances survived? There's you and Jordan, and Brendon and Rachel. Schroeder: And Daniele and Dominic are married now, so there are three successful couples to come out of the show. I don't know why there aren't more. Maybe because they weren't real to begin with? Of the three, Jordan and I are the only ones who still haven't gotten married. TV Guide Magazine: Well, I'm sure you take enough crap for that at home so I won't give you any more! Schroeder: Yes, I get it every day, so I appreciate that!

Exclusive: Big Brother Fan Fave Guest Stars on Bold and the Beautiful Sep 18, 2013 09:07 AM ET by Michael Logan Howard Overby won't be winning the grand prize on Wednesday's season finale of CBS's Big Brother (9:30/8:30c) because he was evicted from the game weeks ago. But the popular houseguest still has reason to smile. He's landed a guest spot on his mama's all-time favorite show, CBS's The Bold and the Beautiful! TV Guide Magazine spoke with Overby — a youth counselor from Hattiesburg, Miss. — about his two-day suds gig, airing October 24-25. TV Guide Magazine: You sure know how to make your mother proud! Overby: This is so exciting! A blessing! I got a call out of the blue from The Bold and the Beautiful asking if I'd like to appear on the show. I said yes without knowing any of the particulars because I was raised in a house with a lot of females — my mom, my grandma and two older sisters — and everyone watched the CBS soaps. And The Bold and the Beautiful is the one my mom loves most. [Laughs] Her only problem is that it's only half an hour long! So getting that call really floored me. It's crazy. There's nothing better than making your mom happy. TV Guide Magazine: I hear you're playing the DJ/Host on Karaoke Night at the Bikini Bar, when Wyatt and Hope drop by with some of the Forrester Creations international buyers. Overby: Getting to work with Darin Brooks and Kim Matula was great. We get a real happy-go-lucky, very sexual but laid-back vibe going in the bar. To be at CBS with all that soap-opera and game-show history was a frickin' dream, man! I've done some plays and a little extra work in films with Sylvester Stallone and Nicolas Cage, and have always wanted do more acting. [Laughs] So let's pray for that, America! While I was at CBS, I got to meet Kristoff St. John [Neil] from The Young and the Restless. The whole day I had goosebumps. Rachel Reilly, Brendon Villegas and Jeff Schroeder from Big Brother are also in the same episodes, plus Malcolm Freberg from Survivor.

Diane's Recap of the New York State Fair Okay ya’ll here goes! Hope this was worth the wait….. Sunday finally arrived & we woke up to a rainy morning…We all decided after breakfast to go on over to the fair & get a lay of the land…This was the smartest thing to do b/c we found the stage where the event was being held & it was kind of a little hidden…We left & went back to be prepared for the evening in case the rain decided to hang around b/c we weren’t missing Jeff & Jordan even if we had to sit in the pouring rain LOL…We arrived back at the fairgrounds at around 4 to clear but humid weather..We decided to make our way straight to where the chat was being held & an event was just finishing up so we got seats in the third row..JeJo took up the entire row as there were 8 of us (myself, Marcie, Marilyn, Colleen, Deena, Joanie, Mary & her sweet husband, Bob)….Even though we had over 3 hours to wait it was worth it b/c honestly when I tweeted that it was SRO I was not kidding…Every seat was taken on the ground & the grandstands & about 20 ppl deep lined up on both sides standing & watching… The time finally arrived & B/R were announced first & y’all know how R is so she didn’t come out & just take her seat but had to grab the mike & tell some jokes which imo fell flat…J/J were announced & came out holding hands as you can see in the video to very loud cheers & applause…Take a moment to watch that video as you’ll hear Jeff say that he didn’t have any jokes LOL…They were both waving to the crowd & people were just yelling Jordan’s name & she just kept smiling & waving at everyone…I think they were both surprised at the size of the crowd to be honest…(Just a side note if you look at the videos posted about JeJo coming out & Jeff amazed at the turnout you’ll see a woman in the video w/a black floral shirt on & a man to her right in a light green shirt..this is Mary & Bob so you can see how close we were to the stage) If you look at the pics/videos you can see how far apart B/R chairs are in comparison to J/J b/c the minute Jeff sat down he got right back up & moved his chair closer to Jordan..Was the sweetest thing! Marcie has the chat pretty much on video so I’m not going to touch too much on that as you can watch & see for yourself..Lots of awes when Jordan told the story about Grandpa writing her the letter & you definitely hear it in her voice how much that letter meant to her & touched her heart & you can tell by Jeff touching her cheek & then putting his arm around her & caressing her arm that he knew it as well…They are just so in snyc with one another! One of the moments that wasn’t captured on video was after Rachel talked about hosting & such & then Jeff talks about doing the CBS chats & having some big projects coming up which of course gets lots of applause from the audience..Once Jeff finishes talking R has to bring some attention back their way & mentions that Brendon will be finished w/school in June & then B says that he’s studying Alzheimer's which got him a very small amount of applause..Jeff then says & Jordan graduated from cosmetology school & the crowd went crazy with cheers & B laughed & said “Yep Jordan gets more applause then me).. Once the chat was over J&J did walk over to the edge of the stage & shake a few hands & wave before they were taken to a back room before heading to the tent area set up for the meet & greet…We then turned to get in line for the meet & greet & could NOT believe how long it was! Joanie went up to the front to check it out & said they were seated at a long table & ppl were allowed to go behind the table & get pics & autographs & such…Bob also walked up & was told by security that not everyone would get to see them b/c the line was much longer then they expected & were stopping at 10…Needless to say this didn’t sit well at all…We were told there were at least 800 people waiting to see them….Jeff did know that he had some ppl from the fansite there as we took a pic of us all the night before holding up our margarita glasses & Deena had sent it to Bob (The Baub Show)..He told Deena on Sunday that he sent it to Jeff & that Jeff was looking forward to seeing us..Bob (Mary’s husband) suggested that we go up to the front & stand by the tent & maybe we’d at least be able to hand them the things we had for them before they left well thankfully we had Deena with us as she made friends w/the security guy & was able to get Jeff’s attention & he said for us to stick around that he would talk to us after… Jeff looked out at the line & said “holy macaroni” as he was shocked at how long the line was. We all stood up there & watched as ppl went in to see them & get their pictures taken as you handed your phone/camera to the security & he started taking pics the minute you got in the tent so you got pics of yourself walking up to them as well as posed pics..At this point they had pushed the table to the side & the four of them were standing & you got your picture taken with both couples…It was so neat standing there watching fans reactions to meeting them.. One little girl came in & made a beeline for Jordan & just plowed into her to hug her making Jordan have to step back to keep her balance lol but sweet Jordan just wrapped her arms around that little girl & hugged her…She then went to Jeff & did the same thing..There was also another boy that had made drawings of both Jordan & Rachel so they held them up while getting their pictures taken with the boy..After a bit Brendon said he had to run to the bathroom & asked Jeff & Jeff said yes he would go as well (see not just women that go to the bathroom together lol) & Jeff came out & was right in front of Deena who he then hugged as he remembered her from Nashville..Colleen was standing right there & she asked if he recognized her voice..He said he did but didn’t know why so we gave him a few hints & then the light bulb went off LOL…He said Bob sent me the pic of all of you boozing it up LOL & said stick around & they’d talk w/us afterwards..We continued to watch as fans went in to meet them.. There were these twin boys who were about 7/8 years old & they made a beeline for Jeff & just hugged him like crazy! They had their pics taken w/the group & then Jeff took selfies of them w/him…After every kid left Jeff did the whole let’s blow it up thing w/his hand w/them..It was so cute & the kids just loved it..I believe there are also selfies of Jordan w/a little girl….They also thanked everyone for coming to see them & for waiting in line for so long.. There was one woman that just loved Jeff & she only wanted a picture with just Jeff & kept saying “You so handsome, you so handsome” & just kept hugging at him..It was so funny to watch! At one point Marcie was standing there taking pics & this man leaned over to her & said “looks like everyone is pretty much here just to meet Jordan” he then went on to tell Marcie that he called his wife at work to tell her that they were going to be at the fair & when she found out that Jordan would be there she just started bawling…Everyone loves Jordan! Watching fan reactions as they exited the tent was great b/c they were saying things like “OMG I can’t believe I just met Jeff & Jordan & I’m shaking & I swear I’m never going to wash my hand again”….Rachel said something to Jeff when it was getting close to 10 & Jeff said yes let’s just stay until we see them all…So EVERYONE in line got to go in & meet them & have their picture taken… The line was finally finished & we got our chance LOL…Jeff said come on in & in we went & he took us back to Jordan where she was very excited to see us & wanted us each to say our names & our twitter names & the best part was she actually recognized them & it was obvious to us that she does read whats on twitter & knows the people that tweet her a lot. At this point Jordan asks where we are all from & when I said Charleston she said how she loves Charleston & going to Folly Beach..I told her that I usually go to Isle of Palms but had been to Folly for the first time this summer & liked it & then I pointed to Marilyn & told Jordan that Marilyn was headed there on Tuesday & she got so excited & told Marilyn that she had to go to a certain restaurant but she couldn’t remember the name & says to me “I’m sure you know it” & then asked Jeff who had no clue LOL..She told me that she tells Jeff all the time she wants them to move here & I told her they’d always have a place to stay at my house LOL..She didn’t remember the name of the restaurant but we were able to figure it out later by her description.. This is where I know Mary & Deena will have things to add b/c there were times I was over by Jeff & they were over by Jordan & vice versa… I also just have to say that on TV/online Jeff & Jordan are GORGEOUS but let me tell you they are even more so in person…Their eyes are beautiful & their personalities just shine through…We were only in there for a minute or so & a couple stopped & asked if their daughter could have her picture taken with them as it was her birthday & she loved them so we all moved aside so that Lauren could have her picture taken..We all said “happy birthday” & it was just so sweet…Marcie then suggested we do the little video for Bob so we did & then Jordan said “Do y’all want a picture” so we handed a phone to Brendon & I handed mine to Rachel to take our group photo LOL…Brendon included a selfie of himself on Marcie’s phone that she didn’t find until after we got back to the hotel which made us all laugh…I’m going to add this small part about B/R & then onto who you really want to hear about LOL..Rachel left the tent after taking the pic for me as she knew we were a JeJo group & she had Liza from BBCan outside the tent waiting for her but Brendon hung around just outside the tent & several of us did speak w/him & he was very personable & he too knew we were JeJo fans..I told him that we did applaud about him graduating & wished him luck & he said he was kidding when he said Jordan got more applause then him & I do believe him as he was laughing & smiling when he said it..He talked about BB with me & his take on Derrick…I know that a few others also spoke to him & also felt he was personable & easier to talk to w/out R around LOL but they can tell you that for themselves LOL…I told Jordan that I thought she looked great & she proceeded to tell me that Peyton helped her & kept her motivated as he’s very honest & would help her with areas that she needed to work on..She said her Mom would just tell her she looked fine & that Jeff was the same way so she liked asking Peyton b/c he was honest but not mean & helped her…(I know some worry that she’s too thin but honestly she looks GORGEOUS & TONE & not too thin imo) She told us how Peyton gets up at like 4 in the morning 2 days a week & works with a personal trainer then goes to Bible study & then onto work…Marcie mentioned about Peyton coming out to LA & she said “I know I’m trying to get him to come out for his birthday but he thinks people in LA are crazy & Marcie said “well some of them are” & Jordan then told us a story of how she was at Ralph’s (the grocery store) & had a few items & was flipping through a magazine while waiting in line & a woman pushed past her & got in front of her & told Jordan she either needed to go to self checkout or to a line of 15 items or less…I believe it was Colleen who then brought up about finishing school & then Deena asked her what she had to do to cut hair in LA & she said “Oh I’m ready to pull my hair out! I have to pay to take my written & practicals all over again & then pay for these other 2 papers that I’m not even sure what they are but they’re stupid LOL” So she’s working on that for all those wondering…We asked Jeff if Jordan had cut his hair yet & he said no she’s scared & then she told us that she had only cut 2 guys hair in school so that was why…Jeff had his phone out at one point texting & said “sorry my buddies that were my roommates in LA that live near here are waiting for us at a bar close by & blowing up my phone LOL” We talked about BB with Jeff & he really feels that Derrick could win it all & he said that Derrick was his pick from the beginning & we told him that we remembered him saying that when he had Kevin Fraiser on before the first show..I told him that his predications were proving better then Kevin’s as Kevin had picked Brittany as one of his & she was out early..B/R had also picked Brittany & were shocked that Jeff had picked Derrick from the beginning so he told them he had it on video & would tweet it out LOL (That convo was on stage btw)… As you can see from the one video they LOVED Donny & Jordan got so stressed watching the DE as it brought back memories from BB13 that she called Peyton so he could tell her what happened LOL..Oh & also a video of telling Jeff it was JeJo & not GeJo & we found out it was Rachel that got him saying GeJo & not JeJo lol..Marilyn told him to just remember his name starts with a J & that’s how you say it LOL…Marcie asked Jeff about the future projects as she mentioned in the rambling thread so go there to see that..Jeff at one point got the hand sanitizer off the table to put on & handed it to Jordan & I said to her “here I have a special one for you & Jeff said “oh that has to be warm vanilla sugar”. Jordan tried to give it back to me but I told her to keep it…They spent about 20 minutes with us & then we all said we’d let them go as we knew they had friends waiting on them..They thanked us for waiting (can you believe it) & we said no thank you for spending time with us..As we were getting ready to leave we heard Jordan tell Jeff that they had to go back to the hotel before going out b/c she wanted to take the gifts we gave them back to the hotel so they wouldn’t get misplaced..We all got hugs goodbye & were walking on cloud 9 back to our cars…We had walked for a bit & when suddenly the vehicle driving them starts to drive by us & we waved & they waved (Brendon was up front w/the driver & J&J were in the middle seat w/R in the back w/Liza)..The vehicle then stops & Jeff rolls down his window waving & thanks us all again for coming out & told us to have a good night & drive safely all the while Jordan was leaning forward & waving as well & saying safe travels.. That to us just was the cherry on top of a great night! We all did a group hug & headed back to the hotel! Hope I didn’t ramble & you all enjoyed reading this as much as we did experiencing it LOL..I’m sure if I missed anything (which I’m sure I did) Mary, Deena , Colleen, Marcie or Marilyn will add it…We are very blessed that Marcie filmed a lot of it so you can experience it all first hand! PS: There is a cute story about Rachel photo bombing a photo & someone bringing Jordan a funnel cake but I’m leaving that for Deena as it was her pic getting photo bombed LOL I just remembered a cute little story! It was so hot & humid after the rain earlier in the day & especially hot in the tent that they were in...We were watching them & at one point before the next person came in Jordan sniffed her armpits & said to Jeff "my armpits stink" & then told him to smell & when he went to "she was not don't" LOL..We were all chuckling outside the tent so when we got to go in I said to Jeff that I was chuckling at her with the armpits & he said "yeah & then she told me no don't smell me" haha...So reminded me of BB11!!!

Excerpt: JEFF ON HOW HIS LONG-AWAITED ENGAGEMENT TO JORDAN PLAYED OUT: When we recently got engaged, I wasn’t trying to steal thunder and step on any toes, but there was a little pressure from my fiancée. It has been five years and I had not proposed, but we weren’t rushing anything to be in front of the cameras, and we would go at our own pace. Finally, now was the time! The producers always asked me if and when I was going to propose, and so I said this was the year. I proposed on September 5th, and it aired on Sunday, September 7th. Jordan thought we were going to CBS to host a competition, and that is how I got her there. CBS went the whole nine yards, sent emails and said, “Here are your scripts” and what to wear, everything so she would not know what was going to happen. JORDAN ON GIVING JEFF A HARD TIME ABOUT NOT GETTING ENGAGED PRIOR TO THE WEEK OF THE PROPOSAL: I feel bad now, because the week before he proposed, I was like, “Listen! I am breaking up with you, if you don’t do anything.” And, I thought he was cheating! He changed the password on his iPad, his phone would ring and he would flip it over, and the day he went to get the ring he was like gone for four hours! Then, I call my mom, and my mom already knows that Jeff is going to propose. So there I am talking to her for about an hour going, “Mom, Jeff’s cheating! I know he is!”(Laughs) I felt so bad. JEFF ON HOW HIS INITIAL BIG BROTHER EXPERIENCE HAS LED HIM TO FIND LOVE, BECOME A HOST, AND APPEAR ON THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: When I got on Big Brother, I wasn’t going on the show to find my future wife, which I found, and I thought nobody was watching this show, and then we got on The Bold and the Beautiful, and then things progressed to Amazing Race and then Big Brother, and then a bunch of shows I did on CBS.com, and then we did a few together, and then now I am doing hosting for all of CBS Interactive and I love it. JEFF ON WHAT HE AND JORDAN WILL BE DRESSED AS FOR THE HALLOWEEN EPISODES OF THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: I love costumes because the first time I got on The Bold and the Beautiful we had 80’s costumes and Jordan’s hair was all big! I love getting in costume! We don’t have a costume unfortunately this year, they just told us to be in beach wear. Cody … I am sure …will have his shirt off, though! (Laughs)

FUN FACTS ABOUT JEFF SCHROEDER As our TVGrapevine readers know, we are huge fans and supporters of Big Brother. We have spoken to several of the contestants and give 24/7 coverage during the season. When I was presented with the chance to catch up with fan favorite Jeff Schroeder (engaged to Jordan Lloyd, past winner and another fan favorite) I jumped at the opportunity. I was always a fan of him and his videos on CBS during the Big Brother season, but I was curious to see what he was doing now. By the end of the interview, I felt as if I’d made a new friend and had an all new respect for the man. 1. Now that Big Brother is on hiatus (He works with CBS.com doing video interviews with contestants and bringing us highlights) he is working with a company called DreamJobbing. He had worked with the people involved in the past and decided to collaborate with them again. What is this project? Jeff, along with a team of people help find someone to join him in a commercial for Lucky Bruddha Beer, which is actually a favorite of Jeff’s. Contestants have to find a way to use the beer creatively and submit a video of themselves doing so. More details can be found on www.DreamJobbing.com/LuckyBuddhaBeer 2. Jeff says that he loves the creativity of the videos and how this is an outlet for people to live their dreams. He also loves seeing the amazing, worthwhile things people come up with and that he can’t wait to see it come out in the commercial. So what would he do if HE were entering the contest? He says he would somehow incorporate his love of painting into it, all while drinking the beet and seeing what others in social media were doing. 3. Once this wraps up, Jeff will be gearing up for the next season of Big Brother. While he did not confirm or deny if he was returning to the CBS.com videos, he did say that he hopes to work with them again, He adds that he is also working on another project with them, but as alf right now, he can’t say much. He is, however, excited to work with them again. 4. What is his advice to those auditioning this season? It is simple. Be yourself, and remember that it is a long journey in the house. He says that a lot of times, people audition because they want to be in the spotlight, but it ends up being the opposite of what they were hoping for. He adds that people should be kind, enjoy the experience and when doing a video or attending a casting call, remember to show who you are, talk about yourself and why you are who you are. Another thing Jeff mentioned was that people auditioning should not mention other people or have them in the video. He reminds us that it is a crazy ride and people should be careful what they wish for. 5. As for the Amazing Race, he also loved that experience and says it was an awesome, amazing ride. He says it does go by quickly and for him, it was interesting because he and Jordan were still getting to know each other. He says that he would love to do it again because he thinks that this time, they would be a better, stronger team. As for this season, he is rooting for Matt and Ashley, but he loves different things about each team. He is sad that #TeamNewKid is gone because he knew they were having a blast. 6. As for everything else in his life, Jeff says things are going great right now both professionally and personally. He is working, planning his wedding to Jordan and ‘riding the wave.’ meaning that he knows there are highs and lows, but he is staying level heading and being happy with what he has in life. Thank you to Jeff and his team for this opportunity and keep checking back for more news!
