Whether you were entertained her antics, her awkwardness and her directness with others or whether that turned you off, Kelley wasn’t a poser or a counterfeit personality in the house. What you saw is what you got. Kelley is now on the Big Brother jury after saving her game singlehandedly time and time again.
John Powell: You and Rachel never grew close as house guests or players. Why was that? What stood between you?
Kelley Jorgensen: I don’t know how to answer this. How many more times am I going to have to answer this? (sighs) I want to make sure I don’t have to say the same thing over again. Rachel and I never saw eye to eye on a game level. I’m not sure where our wires got crossed. I think it was day one. Though I really like her as a person, I’m excited to get to know her when the cameras are off, we never did get along.

John Powell: As you detailed, Vince betrayed you and other allies often. What do you think of his overall gameplay and him as a person?
Kelley Jorgensen: Vince betrayed me and all of our other allies on a weekly basis. The last thing he said to me before he voted me out was: “I wish I could be the kind of player that could just backstab and not care about how this affects people on a human level.” (shrugs her shoulders). That’s how I feel about him as a person.

John Powell: You admitted that you could be a bit of a bother at times but you did always stay true to yourself. You enjoyed stirring up trouble and drama around the house. Do you ever regret any of those moments? If so, why, and what was your goal in creating drama?
Kelley Jorgensen: Did I have a goal for creating drama? I’m not sure. I do admit that I was a bit of a bother to my other houseguests and that I was a little bit of a drama stirrer. I think that was partly strategy but mostly just for fun! (laughs)
John Powell: How was it to play from underneath all the time and on the block routinely and how did you keep your spirits up?
Kelley Jorgensen: Man, it was really, really hard playing from on the bottom for basically the entire game. I was thankful to Ava for giving me that space to breathe and then Rachel for continuing that space to breathe and then back up on the block again, time and time and time and time and time again. It was really, really difficult and there was no keeping my spirits…well…I kept my spirits up by adding whimsy to the house and having fun, trying to bring back any sort of fun to our house when tensions were high. I’d put party hats on the animal statues or I’d sing a little stupid song, or I’d make a little joke. So adding fun to the house was the only way to keep my spirits up.
John Powell: Who do you hope follows you into the jury house and why?
Kelley Jorgensen: I hope they got Vince out in that double right after I left. I hope I see his face today in the jury house. He got me out. He ended my game. I hope his ended right after mine.
