‘Big Brother 17’ finale: Shelli Poole on Clay, tough moments, and more in backyard chat

“Big Brother” named Shelli Poole the first jury member many weeks ago, or we should say the houseguests made the move. Are we surprised? A little bit, if for no other reason than that we thought that she was someone who had some of the tools to make it to the end.

So what did Shelli have to say about Clay, the season, and much more? We’ve got plenty of highlights from the CBS live feed interview with Jeff Schroeder below!

On her feelings now that it’s over – “I am sad that it’s over, because I am happy that people are so excited for our season! And I was just so excited to see Clay.”

On seeing Clay – “On stage, finale night, was the first time I had seen Clay’s face in seven weeks … I’ve known nothing about what has been going on his world. When I saw his face, I knew that he was missing me too … She went to Atlanta, visited with Jace and Audrey and they all went out and met my brother. Apparently my twin brother and oldest sister are here tonight. After all of this over I’ll be going to Texas for our date, and meeting Clay’s family.

On this season overall – “I don’t know how it is being portrayed, but I was at first wondering ‘are we a boring season?’, but then a lot of game moves started to happen and I thought [it was a good season].”

Would she do “Amazing Race”? – Well, the answer is yes. She said that she and Clay had never been out of the country, but they are hoping to do something like that in the future.
