Jeff was voted "Fan Favorite" both times he played Big Brother; being the only houseguest to do so.
In both of the seasons that Jeff played in, he won two POV's and one HOH. Interestingly, whenever Jeff won his first POV, he took himself off the block and whenever he won HOH, he also won POV and backdoored another houseguest. After this reign as HOH/POV holder ends, Jeff was nominated and evicted.
Coincidentally, his only reign as HOH was during Week 7 in both seasons.
In both of his seasons, Jeff has been evicted by a tie breaker. Whenever Jeff was
Jordan and Jeff's promotion Picture picture for The Amazing Race 16

Each time he was evicted, he was nominated next to an ally.
Jeff is the only person to be evicted by a tie breaker twice.

Beginning in Big Brother 15, Jeff began interviewing the new contestants for CBS.

Jeff has been criticized for his homophobic comments.
During a conversation with Kalia about Dumbledore from Harry Potter, he was disgusted by the fact that Dumbledore was gay, stating "you don't make a guy gay when he's in charge of a school for kids," implying that gay people are pedophiles.
His views on the LGBT community must have changed as gay contestants Wil Heuser, Frankie Grande and Jason Roy are fans of Jeff as well as transgender houseguest Audrey Middleton. Not to mention, openly gay former NSYNC member Lance Bass is a friend of Jeff.
