Tripwaste | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 09:44 pm     Jason, poor Jason ... he became this year's unfortunate son ... although he did fall out of the Final Two by his own missed guesses during quiz-play, you gotta feel for the guy, faraway so close ... Some points to ponder: * Upon his exit, Jason's utter lack of bitterness was totally righteous ... however, his unflagging all-out enthusiasm for Dani's campaign, while commendable on certain points, was sort of cringe-worthy ... certainly his parents love him, but as they ran out to greet him, couldn't help but think whether or not his folks rued their son's missed chance for fortune ... * On a totally general level, it might be noticed that Jason played the soft enforcer a la Hardy to Danielle's Nicole ... in which, Jason, as Hardy had, won a bulk of competitions that put him in an executive power position, forcing him to chop off competing heads, while Danielle, much like Nicole, was afforded the luxery of sitting back, calling shots, without the heat ... * Danielle so much eschewed pro-active responsibility (blown HoH competitions and such) that even with the single HoH she did manage to win, afterwhich she nominated Lisa & Amy, it still put Jason in the hotspot as being the one having to execute one of them ... (sidenote: If Danielle was playing end-game, she failed on at least two counts: a.) her Final Two partner failed to make it there with her; b.) despite her aversion to public enemyizing, she self-sabatoged that by needless behind-back character assassination of other houseguests. * Like Hardy, who was supposed to be Nicole's solid 2, Jason did not make it to the end, although his partner, Dani, did ... there must be a term for this ... Jason got Hardyed or something ... * Who else thinks that Roddy will passive-aggressively make Jason feel bad for teaming with Danielle?? * Even though Jason did blow the decisive personality quiz against Lisa, Danielle sold Jason out during the pool-boat challenge in a deal she didn't even have to make. * What If? What if Lisa had picked Jason instead? It might be a pretty even matchup for the grand prize. Or, if Jason and Danielle had both made it? He'd be stylin'. Regardless, despite his positives, neutrals and minor negatives, gotta say that Jason has to be one of the classiest houseguests to ever come down the pike, and most likely the classiest out of this bunch. |
Superfan | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 09:50 pm     Agreed, if the game was about class, Jason would win hands down. Actually, I'm glad & relieved to see that his fate was in his own hands tonight. |
Jimmer | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 09:55 pm     I still don't see how Dani sold Jason out in the pool by trying to get Lisa to pick her to go to the final? What should she have done - not tried to go to the final? How is that selling Jason out? She sat there in that pool for over 4 hours for crying out loud. |
Maris | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 09:58 pm     she got lisa to agree to take her to the final and threw the HOH competition, thus guaranteeing her spot and sacrificing Jason. She knew Jason couldnt win the HOH. |
Crossfire | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 10:00 pm     Superfan: Actually, this game IS partly about class. That is why Jason is not in the house anymore. Lisa said she had to do a selfish thing during the eviction. She had to remove Jason because he was too classy to have in the end. Jimmer: The reason people are saying that Dani sold Jason out, is because instead of sticking it out, or just giving in, she made a deal to save her butt before willingly tossing it in. Understand, there is nothing wrong with that, its fair turnabout in this game, but that move put Jason on the spot just as much as it saved her. |
Jhezzie | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 10:03 pm     I liked Jason, but I think he beat himself by keeping Lisa. |
Demeter | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 10:07 pm     I have a feeling that Jason threw the final HOH. He wanted Danni to be in the final and he did not want to also take away Lisa's chance for some of the money. I think for Jason, a large part of being on the show was the experience itself. He probably would not have minded winning the money, but it didn't break his heart to lose it either. He knew he played a good game. And I think Julie was right when she said he would go far. |
Jhezzie | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 10:11 pm     Ya know, Demeter, you may be right, although he looked like he was trying... He said he would do anything to help Dani get into the final two. He knew of the deal that Lisa and Dani had. |
Wcv63 | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 10:12 pm     Love Jason and love his heart and his spirit. He is class through and through. |
Spunky | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 10:59 pm     Absolutely!! Tripwaste I feel for the guy... I'm afraid he'll be even more terrified of women from now on... |
Wrat1010 | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 11:37 pm     Ya know, Demeter, you may be wrong. The best way to help Dani to get to the final 2 would be for him to win the HOH and take her there himself. |
Meggieprice | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 11:50 pm     Don't forget that Jason put Dani in that position in the pool when he lost focus after only 45 minutes. I am really feeling his loss tonight. |
Eden | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 12:08 am     Danielle did not sell out Jason, she merely cemented a place for herself in the final two. Two totally different scenarios. I have no doubt that were it within her control Danielle WOULD have chosen Jason for the final two. Jason lost this game HIMSELF. His performance tonight in the final phase of the HOH was terrible! He fell out of the raft competition before an hour passed. Jason can only look to himself to see why he didn't win. He knew he HAD to win tonight in order to make it to the final two. He didn't. Stop blaming Danielle for things beyond her control. If Jason had hung on to his key HE could have had the agreement with Lisa for final two, he didn't. If Jason had played tonight's competition better he would still be in the house. Jason knows HE blew it for himself. Period! |
Eden | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 12:11 am     Maris, since when is Danielle psychic? How was she to know Jason couldn't win HOH? He had won HOH competitions before. Does Jason bear no responsibility for his own failure to assure himself a spot in the final two? He blew it. No "sugah" coating the obvious. Jason lost this game all on his own. |
Letmeinthere | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 12:12 am     I miss Jason. Her certainly deserved to be in the final two.
 |
Tripwaste | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 12:13 am     So therefore, Dani's sellout was totally unnecessary. |
Ministryoftruth | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 12:35 am     I'm sorry to see Jason go home empty-handed, but I don't think we've seen the last of him. He may just be the first hampster to have some actual success in the entertainment industry. I agree with Julie . . . he'll go far. |
Eden | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 12:38 am     Jason deserves only what he would have earned. He didn't win tonight. I wish he had. That would have been the sweetest ending to BB EVER! Jason blew it tonight. His fault. Wish things had been different! |
Wendo | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 12:48 am     You know, I wonder if the roles had been reversed, Dani lost the boat challenge and Jason hung in for four and half hours, if Lisa would've made a deal with him as well. As we know from her DR tonight, she waited with Dani until the right time to broach the subject of a possible deal. IMO, I think Lisa would've done the same thing with Jason as she did with Dani. As Dani was tired, Jason would've been too since both were intent on getting each other to the end. And, as Jason and Dani had said many times before, sometimes you have to make deals that help yourself over helping the team. (Both did this many times.) While I don't think Ja would've caved easily, I do think he probably would've taken a deal eventually. (He did, afterall, take the 15K for the phone competition.) Would've been an interesting scenario. |
Wendo | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 12:50 am     Eden, I have to agree, his performance during the third part of the HOH competition was an absolute bust. Such a poor performance, when in the past, he performed so well. Honestly, I think he choked. He was very nervous and Lisa, well, she really believed she was going to be in the final two. That's a powerful thing. |
Cathie | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 01:02 am     Yeah...he either threw it or he really choked--how could he not remember that Amy called him 'Precious', so that 'Sweet' had to be Lisa, not him! I think he was so stressed and nervous that he just totally screwed up. |
Cmore | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 01:43 am     No way Jason would have cut a deal with Lisa in that pool, he may have given up, quit, whatever, but he would not have cut a deal against Dani. The guy has something that Dani never will have....Class and integrity Jason knew that Dani cut the deal, but did you see him approach Lisa for a counter deal? Nope, not a chance. Unlike Dani he remained true to his convictions to the bitter end. Another thing, Dani clearly stated in her DR that the money was more important to her than Lisa or JASON. That alone says loads more about her personality then any other single thing she did in the house. Kick a true friend in the ass for money? Either this woman has no shame or soul, or she has never known a true friend in her life. Jason was a TRUE friend to Dani, but I hope he sees that DR and realizes it was a one way street. Cathie, I made the same mistake as Jason during the live show, since Amy always called Jason sugar, I wrongly related that to sweet. |
Wendo | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 02:55 am     Cmore, I'm just speculating that's all. Jason had made moves in the game for his benefit only and they didn't include Dani. While I think it's nice to assume he wouldn't have, there's no way to know for sure. It would have been an interesting scenario is all. As I said in my post, he was willing to sell out the other HG's for 15K and a phone call, that included Dani. Who's to say what he would have done with a guarantee from Lisa for a shot at half a million dollars? Additionally, of course the money is more important to Dani. That's why she went on the show. The money would be for her family. She should be loyal to a man she's known for two and a half months over her family? Is that what you're saying? Be more loyal to a stranger than yourself in a competition such as BB? I find that so odd. True friend. Hmm. Yes they're friends. And, I do believe they may become true friends. I just can't believe you're suggesting that someone on a "game show" should be loyal to another game show player when they really don't know each other all that well. You may not agree with what Dani did by taking the deal with Lisa. However, it was a good tactical move on her part to ensure herself into the final two. And, I also think Jason himself would disagree with you. He said as much about what Dani did during his interview. She wasn't playing for him, just as he wasn't playing for her. |
Dagny | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 03:08 am     I can't help but think Jason felt defeated when Dani told him she made a deal with Lisa. "It' me and you to the end"... Well after Dani made her deal with Lisa...it obviously wasn't. (who could really predict if Dani would stand true to her deal to Lisa or to Jason? .. And we will never know) |
Sia | Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 04:50 am     I agree with Jhezzie: Jason would have won the $500K if he'd evicted Lisa and kept Amy. Danielle would have won the $50K. |
