Marcellas showed himself to be a real spinless whoos tonight by not sitting next to Jason. When he got up he was only acting self-rightous and petty. His act, strictly for the other houseguest benifit, was the most childish act of all the houseguest in my opinion. When Jason shared nothing but love for all his houseguest tonight. Everyone on the outside seemed to have "Made Up" and forgave each other, he was a disgrace.

Cc1976, you're right that Jason had had time to see tapes of the show and to watch live feeds after his eviction. That could have changed his mind as to his vote, but I feel he voted according to the decision he'd made before he left the house--and I think that's how all the hamsters should have voted. I don't like that the evictees are allowed to get together to compare notes; I really feel the hamsters should vote for a winner as part of their eviction interview. I expected Jason to be loyal to Danielle because he'd had a strong alliance with her from the beginning and he is a man who would keep his word.

That Jason's was the only vote Danielle received shocked me. I thought I had the voting figured out before-hand. I thought Josh, Lori, Gerry, Amy, and maybe even Chiara would vote for Danielle. I think they felt duped and angry with Dani and couldn't get past that, even after acknowledging that she'd played a good game. Now, if Jason had been in the final two with Lisa, I think the hamsters would have had a tougher decision; I feel the evictees would have had a good deal of resentment against Jason for having kept his alliance with Danielle so well-hidden from them. I feel CBS got the winner it wanted for BB3.

Wow, that Jason, what a man! Yes, he showed strong character tonight and every day he was in the house. I so agree with Houselover . . . Truly the "Spirit of God" was demonstrated by His son Jason. I believe that Jason was on this enertaining show to deliver His message to millions of people and Jesus and Jason did it!

Did Jason show character tonight? I vote 'yes' on this one. I don't think his vote had anything to do with sympathy. I think it was completely about thinking for himself in spite of the group mentality going on. And for that alone, I respect him.

Sybilbb3oracle said, "I agree with Wendo; Jason showed no Christian Character nor charity when he never asked the others to contain their vile remarks."

Actually Sybilbb, this is not what I said in my post. I think you've misinterpreted what I was trying to say. I suppose I wasn't clear. I do believe that Jason showed character and had shown character throughout the game.

However, what I was trying to say in my post was that most of the HG's participated (either actively or passively) in the trash talking this year. And, since they're all adults, they should've nipped it in the bud way back when before it spun out of control. I don't think this means they all have bad characters. On the contrary, I think many of them do have solid characters. I consider it more of a human flaw, among many human flaws we all have and exhibit.

(I still wonder if it would've been as bad this year had Mar not been in that house. He, imo, was the most egregious and started many of the trash talking sessions. *shrug* Who knows.)

Everyone hated Danielle because she was the one who stayed the longest in the house. I wonder what will be everyone's opinion of Marcellas and Roddy if they ended up in the Final 2.

Jason showed his true great character.

Wendo, I agree with all your posts, as usual. Did Jason show character? ABSOLUTELY!!!! What a ludicrous question.

QUOTE:"
If somebody is nice to you, but treats other people badly...does it show character if you defend that person because they were nice to YOU?"


This is REAL LIFE. People in general act like that. Only a minority would speak out against a bully. You would act the same way if your friend or family member was a bully/bytch to other people but nice to you. You would defend your friend/family member and go along with the bulliness/bytchiness.

Did Jason show character in last nights show? I have to say yes!! Bottom line is that EVERYONE in that house had something negative to say about the others...even Jason. Remember the last time Jason was HOH and they had the food comp. and Lisa, Danielle, Amy, and Marci were in teams and they didn't eat all the nasty food and Jason was POed and he said that in the diary room. He was mad at them all for not trying and he said he would have done it no matter what.
Anyway I agree with Bastable that any true Christian does not judge other people only God is the judge.
I also agree with Houselover about Marcellas....When did he get so innocent?!?!?!?!
PLEASE...He said mean things about people all the time, him and Amy gossiping...and they didn't even do it to win the game they did it to just plain be mean!!! So whatever Marcellas...shut your pie hole!!
In closing....
I THINK JASON SHOULD HAVE WON!!!!!If not Dani.

Jason is now being considered awful when Marc got up and moved away from him like a little child? Marc is one who was very vile to some of the other HG's and I thought HE was hypocritical in his actions on the show last night.

I think Jason showed a lot of character tonight. He stuck with his loyalty the same way Eric stuck by his ( Lisa is his woman) and Chiara stuck by hers (by making her decision based on Roddy)and Amy stuck by hers (stick with Marc no matter how sick the relationship is)...etc.

What Jason did that none of the other clueless were able to do is tell the truth..They all behaved badly and said unkind things about each other or manipulated a situation to gain favor (he included himself in that statement). Of course he got cut off as usual by Marc showing his vile side once again (which I considered the final act of manipulation by this sad little man).

and yet!!! they all voted for the one who didn't say things about them personally..now that's a lack of character!!!

Wendo, you are completely correct.

yes! Jason has always showed character! this is not a fair question to Jason, because if he would have voted against Dani there certainly been a thread up here about Jason turning on his trusted freind and that would have not shown character. I also agree that Marc has showed his true character.,., a self ritous spoild angry LITTLE man(?), who was hypocritical with all that he said and done.

Did he show character, yes he did, he promised Danni his vote and kept his word. He voted for who he thought played the best game, he stated that he did not agree with some of Danni's comments about the other hgs, but he still beleived she played the best game, so that is how he voted.

He stayed loyal against the odds. He showed character. If he had caved in to pressure, I would have lost all respect.

I don't believe I could agree more with Wendo or Beocca. I was beyond proud of Jason. It takes a lot to stand up and say what you believe to that group of people. I definitely feel that there was a double standard when it came to Danielle, but give them all a few days and they'll all be in love again. The most insincere apology came from Marc in my opinion. All for show as was his little dramatic scene in moving from Jason. I'm really glad I don't have to watch his antics anymore. Way to go Jason!

I thought Jason did show character. I was amazed at some of the hypocrisy coming from the people in the house. Amazed. Seeing how Chiara turned on Lisa and badmouthed Amy, Lisa, Gerry. Seeing Roddy making first allaince wiht Lori others and then abandoning it for the better one. (Lori mentioned she was suprised by this and even Roddy amdited he had a deal with Lori. Tonya´s mean comments about Gerry and Amy. Marc was the worse person in the house he continuosly went back on deals.

Jason kindly pointed out that everyone said bad things. Jason did mention that Danielle´s did do a bad job in the diary rooms. (in interviews). But, I think he was right on. He who is without sin should cast the first stone, and practically no one in that room was without sin.

Jason has always shown himself to be a wonderful, kind and caring person who is not only honest with himself but honest with others as well. He held onto his beliefs and ideals and truly personifies kindness and integrity.

i thought jason was great.....nothing about that show was REALITY. in real life, jason would never wear a speedo, eat pbj for days and tolearte constant bad-mouthing. in the context of the game, they ALL did things they wouldn't do normally. he was loyal to dani as she was to him (til that deal with lisa in the pool...IMO). had i been jason, i might have considered voting against her on that point alone, but jason saw past that. i truly don't believe he has an evil or vindictive bone in his body, but i'm pretty sure he does have human ones.....

I agree with many of the above posts regarding the strength Jason showed to stand up against the popular opinion and also the total hypocrisy of the other.

In psychology there is a syndrome where a family chooses one member to bear the collective problems and angst of the family-that person manifests the emotional disease for everyone. I couldnt help feeling last night that Dani had been chosen to be the bad one so that all of them could pretend that they had been good. Jason was the only one who did not do that. I was proud of him.

I have to add that I used to like Marc a lot- he made me laugh ... his display last night destroyed all remnants of those feelings. He is completely delusional at this point.

Jason is a wonderful person . I just wish he had:

*Evicted Lisa not Amy
*Held on to the key
*Answered the questions better in the final HOH competition.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda.

Better that the winner was Lisa as opposed to other hamsters.

I commend Jason on his decision. Even though he was aligned with my least favorite houseguest, I think he is an honorable man.

People keep saying Jason should have spoken up against the trash talking. OK. Let't look at the people who spoke up against the things they thought were wrong. First Lori. Spoke up against Dani's trashing Jerry. Lasted one week. Jerry spoke up against what he saw as unacceptable behavior. Whether or not he was right and whether or not he handled it correctly, he still spoke up against something he saw as wrong. And how was he rewarded? He was trashed, bashed, and isolated, treated with contempt and voted out as soon as they could. Sure, step forward and tell the other houseguests they are doing something wrong. Then go pack your bags because you are gone. Besides who made Jason the conscience of the house? He was a contestant, not the shrink.
