Jeff came into the game alongside his The Amazing Race partner, Jackie Ibarra. Jeff played a low-key game, making several connections, and not being open about his true intentions. However, in Week 3, he soon became a target to Austin Matelson, when he began having a flirtatious relationship with Liz Nolan, and figuring out Liz could have a twin in the house playing as her. It resulted in Austin convincing his alliance members that Jeff was a danger to their game. Vanessa Rousso and Austin then staged a fight with Jeff to make him public enemy number one, so that they had a reason to send him out the door, instead of large target, Audrey Middleton. After being thrown onto the block by Vanessa, he was evicted by a vote of 7-4, placing 15th.

Jeff admits he's finally ready to transition from douchey guy to gentleman-someday soon. He says he only dates attractive women but knows that he needs to start focusing on what they have to offer besides their outer shells. He is an aggressive guy who negotiates business deals on a daily basis, so he knows that he has the competitive edge it takes to win the game of Big Brother. He is a sore loser who will do anything to ensure that he wins every competition. Most recently, he competed on the 26th season of The Amazing Race with a blind date partner he met at the starting line.[1]
Jeff and his wife Catherine announced the birth of their first child, Winston Matthew Weldon on March 2, 2022.[4]
