Jordan Lloyd has become one of the most lovable houseguests to ever appear on Big Brother. Whether it was watching her blossoming love with her future husband Jeff Schroeder, her true to self diary room sessions, or seeing her unlikely run to the finale, the season 11 and 13 alum was never dull.
One of the best parts of watching her on the show was seeing what she had to say. It seemed like every time she opened her mouth, a memorable quote would come out. Her list of quotables could stretch for a mile, as she has some of the best quotes in show history.
One of Jordan's Most Defining Moments
“I Always Hated Those Kids You Were Trying To Cheat From That Would Cover Their Papers”
In arguably Jordan's most character-defining quote, the season 11 winner gave a quote that many can relate to as well. The hilarious quote about people who wouldn't let themselves be cheated off of may have been something Jordan hated in the past, but on season 11 of Big Brother, she proved she didn't need to cheat.
Jordan was able to win her first season on the show, powering on even after her closest ally, Jeff, was evicted. It was an impressive feat that showed that she was capable of achieving far more than she initially thought she would be able to.
The Lovable Jordan And Jeff Scene
"When People Say A 'Quarter To,' I Always Say What Time Is That"
Jordan and Jeff are one of the best Big Brother showmances to ever appear on the show, and the conversations they had together are one of the main reasons. They were an endless supply of cute entertainment on the live feeds, and their conversation about how analog clocks work was one of the most iconic.
While laying with Jeff, Jordan revealed that she was unsure how to read analog clocks and was also confused by what people meant when they said "a quarter to" when describing time. Jeff eventually explained it to her, but not before a hilarious back and forth with Jordan trying to figure it out.
Jordan Talks About What Animal She Would Like To Be
"I Would Be A Squirrel Cause They Run Fast And They Crawl Up Things Fast."
This was another iconic conversation between the fan-favorite showmance, a term only true Big Brother fans will understand. A fairly common fun question to ask to get to know someone is what type of animal they would most want to be. Common answers could be lions, birds, dogs and...squirrels?
When discussing what animal they would want to be, Jordan, to the shock of Jeff, said she would want to be a squirrel. Her initial reasoning was because they can move and climb quickly, before adding in another quote that could only come from her; "They hang out in neighborhoods and stuff...they’re friendly." At the very least, she has to be respected for always staying true to herself, even if it sounds unorthodox.
Jordan Talks About How Contestant, Dick, Makes Her Feel
"Dick Makes Me Feel Like Chopped Liver...And I Hate Chopped Liver."
Known as one of best villains in Big Brother history, "Evel" Dick Donato inadvertently made Jordan feel like one of her least favorite foods. The two appeared on season 13 together, albeit for a short amount of time, before Dick had to leave the game during the first week.
As Dick made his first introductions to his fellow housemates, he made the incorrect claim that he was the only past winner in the house. Jordan, who also was a winner, went into the diary room to say how she felt like chopped liver after he said that. She also added how she hated that dish, showing that it really bothered her. Poor Jordan.
Jordan On Having Manners
"I Usually Pee In The Pool. Since This Is Big Brother, I Won’t"
People initially think of Big Brother's maneuvering and cutthroat strategy when the show crosses their mind. However, another aspect of the show is sharing a house with fifteen other complete strangers. Having manners and being respectful of the others living with you is a key aspect of making it far in the show.
Thankfully, Jordan decided to be respectful of her fellow housemates. Each season has featured a communal pool in the backyard. Realizing it wouldn't be just her in the pool, Jordan decided it would be best to not relieve herself while in the shared waters. Other houseguests probably would, so it was refreshing to see her have some decency.
Jordan Has A Moment Of Realization
"OTEV...Veto...Oh It's Veto Backwards!"
The OTEV veto competition, one that has become a Big Brother tradition by occurring yearly, was still in its infancy on season 11. There was in seasons 7-9, before taking a break in season 10 and returning in 11. The competition is called what it is because it is 'Veto' backward. However, not everyone had realized that quite yet.
While talking about the competition in the diary room, Jordan came to the realization of this in real-time. It was great TV to see the exact moment she figured this out, adding some fun to the usually stale and rehearsed diary room sessions.
Jordan's Response To Jeff's Proposal
"Is This A Joke?"
After appearing together on season 11, Jordan and Jeff remained publicly together. As their relationship continued over the years, fans began to wonder when Jeff would finally pop the question. He answered everyone's question five years later on season 16.
Jeff decided to come full circle and propose to Jordan in the location he initially fell in love with her, the BB backyard. He proposed to her with a square-cut diamond, the exact ring that Jordan said was her favorite five years prior. It was extremely romantic, with Jordan seeming shocked, wondering if it was for real. It very much was real, as the two remain married to this day.
Jordan On Her Feelings For Jeff
"Jeff Is Really Cute, Like Days Of Our Lives, Like A Model Type Looking Guy"
One of the funnier things at the end of each season of Big Brother is reviewing what houseguests said about each other on day 1. A lot of the time, people who would go on to target each other said complimentary things about each other in the diary room. With Jordan though, it was a true storybook journey.
From day 1, Jordan was instantly drawn to Jeff. She revealed her attraction to him in the diary room, comparing him to someone who may appear on Days Of Our Lives. That show is known for having some of the best couples to ever appear on a soap opera, a fitting comparison considering the ending they would have.
Jordan Lets Her Feelings Out
"The Only Reason You Are Still Here Is Because You Are Jessie's B***h!"
In a rare moment of aggressiveness from the usually gentle Jordan, she roasted Ronnie in the diary room. Ronnie was generally disliked by his housemates during the game, as he was perceived as being overly deceitful and was referred to as a rat on multiple occasions.
Jordan usually tried to play nice, but this week, she was done. Ronnie's ego was through the roof, and Jordan thought that was undeserved because he was riding Jessie's coattails. It was a great moment though, as it was good to see her show emotion, especially against someone like Ronnie.
