His bio at CBS.

To date, the accomplishment he is most proud of is playing running back for Benedictine University.

Even though no one's ever heard of it.

[LonePirate]

From his bio, he's as bland as can be. He better stir things up or start up a fast showmance or I will probably become bored with him very quickly.

[TedHinD]

He's the Tim Tebow twin.

Has Jeff ever watched any past seasons of BB? He is way too verbose and brings too much drama so early in the game. He is creating too many dynamics of conflict with his long-winded defensive speeches. He is generating too much talk about strategies and the game. This has to all backfire and get him evicted.

[Captain Astro]

Taking all personal feelings out of it, Jeff confuses me.

For WHATEVER reason, Jeff and his group aren't clicking. Forget whose fault it may be. But when he throws the veto competition, which he has directly acknowledged, shouldn't his cliquemates have a right to be upset about that? That looks like he is getting all the perks and none of the blood on his hands.

[SugarRachisMe]

I'm pretty sure I'd like him a lot less if he was actually clicking with these twits in his team. Just saying.

so. pretty.

I'm still annoyed at Russ for being such an ass to Jeff. Getting mad because he went to Lydia to see how she was and was in the same room as her when she went to cry? Um, hello meathead, that's the same bedroom as his! Where was he supposed to do, only go to the bedroom allowed by the meathead? He went to his freaking bedroom after the nominations, Lydia happened to also to go to her bedroom, and it just so happened it was the same one. Not that huge of a deal if you ask me.

I really wish he could just co-host, wearing nice well-cut suits, wearing tight jeans or a Speedo, because I'd rather not have to see him play the game. He's so beautiful, but he's not much of a player, and he will be lucky to even make it out of this next week.

[spaceshuttle]

He's like a cross between BB8 Mike and BB9 Ryan. It's divine!

[Mita_Jo]

So, I'm glad that I'm not the only one totally smitten with Jeff. He's so cute!! I wish he would suck up to his team just so he gets to stay for a while. Then I could have something pretty to look at this season.

[Captain Astro]

Jeff is just not a good player. He should have faked buddying up to the athletes, just to be able to get information. It might have backfired eventually, but it would be a heck of a lot more useful than what he's doing now, complaining and peppering the house with the F-bomb constantly.

I will give Jeff credit for one thing, though. Last night Jordan said, "If our side had won, we wouldn't be celebrating like they are," to which Jeff replied, "Yes we would." I give him credit for admitting that.

[Former Nun]

I think Jeff is a genuinely nice guy, sweet*, soft-hearted and probably a great friend--one that everyone can count on. I don't think he's the smartest of the athlete clique... and definitely can't fit into the brains group. He has no strategy so he won't be on our screens long. Too bad; he is a good-looking guy. *Even through all those F-bombs.

ALSO, lots of Catholic kids in the U.S. would be familiar with Benedictine University, around 30 miles outside of Chicago.

He reminds me of Charles Dera.

I agree with this assessment. My immediate first response to his bio was totally negative, but he turns out to be the one I like the most. On a personal level, that is. As a game player, not so much. He is an honorable guy, and straightforward, and he is playing the game against a houseful of deceitful backstabbing morally bankrupt miscreants. In othe words, he doesn't have a chance. But I hope that at least being an athlete will keep him at least to the jury sequester. When watching the feeds, I always gravitate to the cams where Jeff is. Not only 'cause he's nice to look at, he's also very witty and fun. Even the others are easier to tolerate when they are with him.

[sofa addicted]

I think Jeff's a great guy but I honestly can't imagine how he sells advertising because he is terrible at reading people. They can be squirrelly and evasive and eye-darting all day long and Jeff still believes whatever lies are coming out of their mouths instead of watching how they act while they're talking.

On the other hand, if Jeff walked in to my place of business in a fitted white shirt and a tie, smiled at me and asked if I'd like to buy what he's selling......Yeah, maybe he doesn't need to read people to sell advertising after all, but he sure needs a crash course in it to survive BB.

This experience may be good for him. He was telling Jordan that this same kind of fucking over happens to him in real life, getting bamboozled, etc. Even though I just said I do see how he sells successfully, his lack of people-reading skills could be killing him when he's dealing with cutthroat competitors, backstabbing coworkers, and bosses who plan to give him the shaft a little way down the road. I hope he leaves the game with his personal standards intact but now understanding just how shitty people really are and not taking them at face value anymore.

[weaverhi]

I just don't see how he sells anything, he is way too negative. Whereas he has been darn lucky that Jessie has won HOH twice, he moans and groans about how "his side" can't win. He never took advantage of being on "his side," that is the athletes. Jordan has more strategy than Jeff does.

Jeff came in with no game plan whatsoever. I wanted to root for him, but just can't.

[sissykay]

I just don't see how he sells anything,

He's handsome with great eyes. Pretty people can do very well as sales people.

[steve91199]

There is no advantage to being with the athletes, aside from being safe if they win HOH. Otherwise it's all about what Jessie wants or who he likes. The only exception is Natalie, because Jessie has a crush on her.

[shantastic]

Actually, I've always thought Jeff was the only one who is using this whole clique thing to his best advantage. If people in your group can't put you up, why would you care if they're in your tight alliance? At some point the cliques will break up, and Jeff has gone a long way to forming close relationships in the house. The only disadvantage I see is he can't put up his nemesis now.

But if I went into the house this season (ha!!), I would have tried my best to be on OK footing with my co-cliquers and try my damnest to make inroads with those in other cliques to try to change/influence their choices wrt nominations.

[Qwerky]

What I wonder is, how the heck is this guy still single? What a sweetheart, he looks good, takes care of himself, he cooks, he's witty and charming and fun to be with. If only I was 20 yrs younger!! Naturally Jordan's mother approved, who wouldn't want a guy like this for a son-in-law. He's almost too good to be true.

That being said, not a good BB player I'm afraid. Too honest and like Russell says, he wears his heart on his sleeve. He's not the smartest, but he makes up for that by being the best all-around good guy by far. And maybe with help from Michelle and Russell, he can make it pretty far.

[Gladys4351]

And maybe with help from Michelle and Russell, he can make it pretty far.

I hope this is true because I'm worried about this week with the double eliminations!

[Former Nun]

Is it too late for BB to create the Big Brother's Jeff Calendar of 2010?

[HighMaintenance]

I may be prejudiced by the pretty, but I bet Jeff smells like lilacs and chocolate chip cookies.

[MethodActor05]

His face is just amazing. So ridicolously masculine, yet so pretty and nice to look at. It's like it was manufactured by Mattel.

He's got a nice body as well.

[shantastic]

Let's hope his body is not like it was manufactured by Mattel. . .

[Arizonaguy]

I love-hate Jeff. He has a great body, but his big loud-mouthed Chicago-esque accent gets on my nerves. IMO he puts on this facade of being the "nice guy" when I think in reality he is a dick!

[empty2]

"How come you didn't hug meeee?"

My god he's a whiny child. I love that Michele and Jordan both laughed at him. Maybe now he'll seek validation in other, more age-appropriate ways.

[ByaNose]

I thought the whole "hug" thing was a joke on Jeff's part. I'm hoping he can pull this out and make the final 2 and win it. I always pull for the good guy/girl to win in the end. Now, I have heard the feeds show a slightly different side in his good guy role, but overall I think he is a nice guy. I also like Jordan (pretty hot), but she really doesn't deserve to make the final 2. Like Jeff said, he has been doing all of the dirty work and getting blood on his hands. It's sort of like Rob and Amber on Survivor: All-Stars. Oooops! Amber won that season didn't she? Nevermind.
