Big Brother's recent evictee, Kelley Jorgensen, attended the Press Pool Interview on September 20, 2025. After she was sent home, Kelley shared her thoughts on various topics and incidents from the BB house.

In her interview, she talked about the hardest thing she had to go through during the show. For that, she stated that the 10 weeks she spent without letters and pictures were the "hardest" thing she had to do.

"10 weeks with no letter and pictures was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. And yes, I want...I needed that letter. I needed those pictures. It was really, really hard to play without having confirmation that my family still loves me," shared Big Brother's Kelley.

Big Brother 27: Kelley reflects on being "annoying" to her fellow housemates, and how it worked out for her

In her recently aired interview, Big Brother star Kelley talked about the letter and the pictures she had received. Before that, spending 10 weeks without those pictures and the letter, she said, was "really, really" hard for her. Receiving those meant that she learned about her family and that they still loved her.

She also faced questions from when she had her exit interview with Julie Chen Moonves. Fans might remember that Kelley noted that her goal was to be "annoying" on purpose with fellow housemates. Whether that strategy worked or backfired, Kelley said:

"Annoying on purpose. Yes, outside of...here, I am a very regular person and I'm... I'm always itching to instigate, and I took full opportunity to instigate inside the house. My only regret is not playing more chaotically, and I loved being annoying on purpose."

Big Brother's Kelley revealed her favorite "annoyance" fight. It was when Keanu and Jimmy got into an intense argument. Additionally, she noted that none of her fellow housemates knew she was the one who started that fight.

"One that backfired was definitely the wine gate incident, where I simply narrated that Rachel had two glasses of wine, and that sent us into a tizzy. I did love starting fights, though," added Kelley.

Kelley was also asked about being in an alliance with Vince and how the two agreed upon being the "final two." However, it clearly didn't work out as Vince chose her as the tie-breaking vote, and that resulted in Kelley going home.

For her parting words about Vince, she said it was only from the surface.

Being referred to as the "queen" of earning safety in the BB House, Kelley talked about having her back against the wall.

"Absolutely. Having my back against the wall the entire time for sure impacted the way that I played the game. When you're on the block, it's really, really hard to make connections and to form alliances. And we called it the Block Plague. It's when you enter the room as someone on the block and the room clears. Everyone leaves the room."

However, Kelley said it wasn't only she who faced this. Other housemates also faced similar situations.
