Hmmm thought about this a lot....essentially think they both did a very good job of keeping their interest in each other, while in the house, on a refreshingly adult, moral and respective level. They both seem to know that while being cast on a television show was not the place to pursue a new, romantic encounter. Considering Jeese/Lydia and others in previous years, this was such a pleasant change and a delight to watch their interplay.

I would like to think that they, privately, decided to keep their 'status' to themselves which just might give them a chance to develop something in the real world.

Wish them both nothing but the best, whether or not they become a couple.

I have no idea whether or not they will be a couple in "real life". They have just been through the wringer for 3 months. At least they both came out with $$$$. I wish them both the best and I'll definitely try to keep tabs on them every so often to see what's happening with them.

They both may have held back telling their feelings for each other after the show, not really knowing how the other felt...saves them from looking like a fool.

Whatever will be, will be...their long distance will probably be their downfall tho

Interesting that in her list of how to spend the money, she didn't mention the Bears tickets she's been promising Jeff all season. Guess she'll buy her own diamond earrings now, but will she still expect to go on the Hawaii trip? Will she pitch in for the taxes and other expenses?

I agree Aero that they are being cautious until they can decompress some. Maybe I've been reading Mary's comments too long, but I honestly believe they really like each other. I wish them the best individually and collectively.

Chere-Ah Ha! My optimism finally got to you! I have hope they will at least try to date and are trying to keep their feelings to themselves.
Wendy, I didn't hear her say that? I am glad she did. :-)

bless her heart...but she's promised alot of things to a lot of people. don't think she understands that she isn't going to be able to do everything. hope she has some good financial counseling out there.

Well, I went to a website that estimates taxes- paycheckcity.com, and based on just the 500K and the state Jordan lives in, here's her estimated taxes:

Annual Gross Pay
$500,000.00
Federal Withholding
$151,966.10
Social Security
$6,621.60
Medicare
$7,250.00
North Carolina
$37,940.00
Net Pay
$296,222.30

According to real estate site trulia.com, the median house price for a single-family home in Matthews,NC (where Jordan lives) is $210,000- so Jordan could make a good down payment on a house (or even outright buy one) and still have some money left...

Thanks for the figures Wilson. Jordan can use whatever money she has left over and enroll in remedial high school.

UhOh... there goes the car and sending her nieces through college (as if). Plus, have to finish paying off twin peaks, credit cards, pay her brother back, and get a hair cut. I'd advise her to play some slots in Vegas. I've never seen someone with her kind of LUCK in my life. lol

This is a cute short interview with Jordan. BUT her face lights up when talking about Jeff and she says he's someone "You can take home to mom" I am telling you all they will date!

I thought Jordan's mother just bought a new home in a nice area? Jordan knows this, so it's confusing that she still wants to buy a new house. Will her Mom sell the house she just bought?

Thanks for the info re how much money she'll actually have, Wilson. After buying a new car, putting down on a house and putting money away for her cousins' college, there won't be much left. I would hope she would invest some, or I see her working @ many low paying jobs the rest of her life. A house is a good investment if it's in her name. I guess she wants to live with her Mom for quite awhile. It might be a good time for her to move out on her own, but her Mom seems to be more of a friend than a Mother, so I guess it could work for them.

I don't know why, but Jordan's win keeps reminding me of Lisa's win.

Cricket that's exactly who Jordan's win reminds me of. The only difference this time is that I liked and rooted for Jordan. I was a raging Danielle fan during BB3 and it took me a long time to get over her loss.

In his Fancast chat, Kevin said there will be no Jordeff.

Kevin thought Jordan would pick him too & that he would loose against Nat. Kevin was wrong. He's wrong about J/J too. BTW-I asked Kevin the question on the chat. He seemed very negative against Jeff. I think he was jealous of Jeff.

It was a lot like that, Cricket...however, I think the difference was that Jordan did realize there was a game going on. I never got the feeling Lisa did. I am fine with Jordan winning.... still resent Lisa! I think Jordan had to get by on personality and she knew it...Lisa had smarts, intuition and guts and chose not to play. (And I would probably love Lisa as a person. Just got frustrated with her as a player.)

It doesn't seem to me that either Jordan or Jeff have the perception that any long term romance will develop outside the house. Possibly they are both just hiding it, but I think they both know that their lives don't really fit. Jordan is not going to leave her family, and while I think she entertained Jeff in the house, he also was irritated with her passive nature often. I think in the day-to-day world that would get in the way. I think both are pretty self-aware and know their limitations. Still I think they will be great and supportive friends forever. And I am glad they both played...they were fun to watch.

I don't know that he was jealous, Kevin just seemed upset that Jeff wasn't a BB fan, but rather that Jeff was looking for some future entertainment opportunities. He seemed to only want the "true" BB fans to play or win the game. Very gracious to Jordan though and gave her props for winning when she needed to.

Kevin always made comments about Jeff not being a smart player and was only there to look good in front of the cameras. I don't disagree with Kevin on that point. But I also think Kevin had a little resentment towards Jeff after he won the CDT because it confirmed that Jeff was a fan favorite. I never got the feeling Kevin appreciated that even though he benefited from the CDT as much as Jeff and Jordan.

Anyhow, I respect Kevin's feelings as he played an excellent game as a true BB fan and am glad he got his opportunity. Unlike Natalie and Ronnie, he represented the fans well. However, before throwing stones at Jeff, he should know that both his BFFs Lydia and Chima were recruited for the show while Jeff actually applied via an open call.

Re Kevin's comments about not being a Jordeff. It's just one man's opinion. I'm drinking the kool-aid Mary!

Actually, I think buying a house might be the best thing- we've got to get out of this recession eventually, and she's young enough for the house to appreciate in value- plus, she could own it outright if she wanted, so no mortgage to worry about.
