Can someone explain Jason and Danielle's strategy to me? They both seem like relatively perceptive people, and on the show we've seen them make accute observations about their fellow HGs. They've even said that it seems like there's an alliance between Josh, Roddy, Eric, and "the girls". And it seems pretty obvious that they're not being included in it...not just from the fact that they're not being asked to join an alliance, but also from the way the other group seems to hang out a lot together, and from the way the alliance seems to suddenly shut up (or bring up some inane topic - like Josh saying, "And that's how a bill becomes a law!" today) when Jason or Danielle enters the room.

So knowing this...why aren't they acting? Why haven't they at least talked to the other people (Amy, Marcellas, Gerry, and possibly Lori) to suggest that they're on their side? They don't have to form an outright alliance if they want to stay UTR, but it seems like they should make it clear that they're not part of the alliance, and that they shouldn't be put up for nomination - for example, Gerry should not put Jason up against someone from the alliance, because that would just backfire.

It's very frustrating to see HGs just doing nothing when virtually everyone else is scheming. Especially when you like those particular HGs. :)

They are in the middle of the two alliances (or coalition as the classy ones call it). They are just rolling with the punches right now. They have no reason to tip their hands just yet. They know what's going on, everyone likes them and they can flip flop between the alliances as it suits their purposes. Danielle is always scheming internally - you can see it in her face. Jason has more of a poker face. He mills around quietly a lot picking up needed information. People hardly notice when he is within earshot.

Laying low can be advantageous... the last 3 survivor winners didn't seem as if the were winners, they played other people throughout the game after laying low. I will not win BB for them, but that might be their strategy.

Camel - Ain't it the truth? I spend half an hour trying to find Jason when he's RIGHT there!

Does anyone remember in Big Brother I that there was someone who used to pretend they were sleeping and hide under the blanket? I htink they were always carefully lurking about. Was it Jamie?

They seem to be employing that strategy. blend inot the woodwork as much as possible. keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut as much as possible.

There is waaay more to Jason than "the good boy"
The other day he very quietly and offhandedly let Chiara and Tonya know that someone disapproved of their "shower" and then let them pull the name, "Amy" out of him. Keep an eye on "bible boy"

Oh, please, please don't let this be another case of a reality contestant claiming to be a good Christian while behaving dishonorably in front of a national audience. It was embarrassing enough when Vecepia did it. I was already unsure about him when he made that alliance with Josh and kept kissing up to the Vile Ones. I was just hoping he was only being naive.

They're playing the best game so far. Danielle keeps her cool although you can tell she's about to burst, and Jason, the innocent, is playing the part beautifully. Who would target him at this point in the game?? It would seem cruel even to Josh!!

Okay, while I admit that I'd be a little disappointed if Jason ended up being a malicious manipulator, I don't think it's fair to expect him not to play the game. I don't think lying is necessarily wrong if it's part of a game. Other people might not like it (including me, depending on the circumstances :)), but it seems a bit harsh to say that someone is not a true Christian, or that they're a hypocrite. If Jason ended up just playing Josh, for example, I'd say good for him.

(Btw - I was also kind of annoyed by Vecepia, but that's because she claimed that she felt she was sinning but kept doing it because she could always ask God for forgiveness later...I just didn't get that kind of thinking, even though I felt lying in the game wasn't really a sin :)).

I don't think you can get kicked out of Christianity playing a game of strategy. By the way, does this standard also apply to Josh?

I personally don't hate Josh because he plays the game. I hate Josh because he's annoying, stupid, nasty...okay, this could go on forever. I'll just leave it at that.

Jason is at an advantage because everyone else in the house is so trashy. He's GOT to keep quiet--what can he contribute to those depraved conversations except silence?

I am not sure if the laid back approach is good all the time though...if the others don't get to know them then it is easier to vote them out!?

jason really doesn't have much to contribte to most of the conversations in the house at night....they are mostly about sex

I really admire the way Jason and Danielle have managed to mingle with both groups and not make any enemies. I think they are playing it cool right now too. They will show their hands when they have to. Right now the strategy is working for them. I really hope to see those two in the finals.

I have now noticed them talking to each other about how they're going to vote and avoiding being targets. Last night I couldn't make out too much of what they said because of whispering and running water but they are very aware of their position in the house and are wisely going to one another for feedback.

No person with Christian values would even enter this game. The motivation for the game is greed or vanity -- take your pick. They know it is about sex for the cameras and about lying and cheating to win. Jason's biblical orientation is all an act. Not a bad one. But that is all it is.

Unfortunately, if he is naive and did not know what this show was about,(yeah right!) it will simply add to the belief of many that Christians are dumb and easily duped. And if it is a deception, as it must be, it will simply serve to further the view that Christians are hypocrites.

It is too bad CBS allowed Christianity to be used like this. I wonder if they would have done it with Islam, Judaism, Buddhism or any other religion.

The goal of this game is to be the last one standing at the end. Jason and Danielle easily survived eviction number 1. This is a marathon, and the person evicted at the beginning is forgotten quickly. Danielle and Jason have the morals and intelligence to last for the duration, even amidst the disgusting moral decay of those around them. The veto challenge will nullify the "original six", and the eventual winner will be the one that makes the fewest enemies.
