When America gave him the power of coup d’etat, Jeff Schroeder wielded used it without ever really mastering its pronunciation. When that same power finally came back to bite him in the BB rear, season 11’s golden boy suddenly developed a keen grasp of the French language. “C’est la vie,” he said as he headed out the door. “I lost.”Jeff’s worst fears had come to fruition and with his back against the eviction wall, he had only one shot at surviving another week. “Work on Natalie,” he said, detailing his last-ditch plan, “get that vote and keep it completely out of Kevin’s hands.”
The first problem with his plan was that those hands were the same hands Natalie has been eating from since Jessie got ousted. When Jeff approached Natalie in an effort to sway her, he never even got to say “hello” before she quickly snapped, “I can’t vote for you.” Later, Natalie was even more forthcoming, saying, with no small amount of pleasure, “Jeff going to the Jury House will be my present to Jessie. Karma is a bitch!”
Michele was campaigning for him, Jordan practically threw herself under any passing bus and Jeff was even able to sweeten the deal that he had laid out for Natalie, guaranteeing her a free ride to HOH, a week of security and a pass to the final three. “If she doesn’t take that deal,” Jeff said, “she’s an idiot and I’ll go home because there are idiots left in this house.”
His eviction ceremony plea focused entirely on Natalie and the advertising salesman did right by his profession by playing to his customer’s weaknesses. But the pitch fell on deaf ears. When the vote went to a tiebreak, it was Kevin who got the last word. “Nice desperate try,” he hissed. “You’re out of here.”
Though he’s headed for the not-so-cozy confines of the Jury House, Jeff received a standing ovation from the studio audience. Is it because of how he played the game or that he looked damn good doing it?
While Jeff greeted Julie Chen and an adoring throng, Natalie went to work on winning her first HOH competition at the most crucial of times. With four contestants left, and Jordan packing her bags each week and Kevin’s eyes looking like actual dollar signs, this season may turn out to be a battle between Natalie and Michele, two girls who have one thing in common — they know how to lie.
Friday morning, Jeff was interviewed by Julie Chen at CBS' "The Early Show". Watch the video below as Jeff does a good job in explaining himself and as always being the guy that America fell in love with.
