'...spilling his seed...' is a biblical phrase and something that a good Southern Baptist boy might say. Then again, it could just be Roddy -- who knows.

Still, when asked a question I don't care to acknowledge much less answer, I shoot the questioner my fiercest glare and ask, "Why do you need to know that? Are you writing a book?" That usually stops the line of question.

I'm all excited that there is thread where I can speak of Jason in glowing terms!! Jason has made it point to get to know every person in the house. He really listens to them when they talk. EVERYBODY in the house likes him and that is why he is considered a threat.

Jason is a sweet and charming young man. He has impressed me with his quiet strategizing and knowledge of previous BBs. He, unlike the others in the house, is a true fan of the show.

Note to Off2see: Thank you for the information! There was a question about that very thing in the Q&A thread.

I have a very good friend who is a Youth Minister and he has chosen the same road as Jason. He does this because he believes he can set an example for other youth who would not be as strong. He is on call for them 24/7 just to help them out of the rough places and he is excellant at what he does. Yes he would love to get married, have kids and all the rest but until a girl comes along that really turns his head he is willing to "practice what he preaches". So for some it may be a true calling and for others just a scam but I truly believe Jason is one who believes it is a true calling. Not everyone can do that. We all have choices. Some good and some bad. But I really respect those who can make that commitment and stick to it. Yes, it's bound to be hard but then so it life when you really think about it. To me this is no different than a married couple saying they will be true to each other and not get caught up in a situation that would cause them to be unfaithful to each other.

Jason is a breath of fresh air. I agree with CurlyQ that he is a true BB fan and is relishing every minute of his BB stay. I also admire his religious convictions and the way he respects people. He is the opposite of Roddy in that he doesn't need to toot his horn. His actions are enough testimony to his character.

I too have seen nothing bad about Jason.. He is up there with Curtis as the most likeable BB contestant.. Only thing I wonder is how someone like him would ever a) become a fan of BB (especially after last year's antics) or b) apply for something like this, knowing what he might be "exposed" to.. In some ways, it shows that he is a very strong individual, in that he is able to tolerate the behaviours and still maintain his integrity while enjoying himself in the process.. Hard to believe (but reassuring) that people like that exist, are willing to participate and are selected for a show like this..

"Why do you need to know that? Are you writing a book?" That usually stops the line of question.

This was a conversation between Jason and *Roddy*, right? Somehow I don't think that would have been too effective in this case.

". . . it truly shows that he is attempting to lead a surrendured life to Christ."

I was just watching the live feeds and M was in the HOH with Amy and Jason calling Gerry Jabba the hut and making other equally cruel comments. Amy and Jason were laughing it up.

If Jason were truly living a life surrendered to Christ he wouldn't laugh at Marcellus' cruel ranting about Gerry.

Jason's biggest problem winning the game, is as a self proclaimed "Christian", the others are going to hold him to a higher standard when it comes down to the end (unlike Will for example, who essentially was held to no standard and therefore had nothing to defend).

Jason's a nice guy but let's remember that he's also VERY aware of the cameras and editing and all that. I'm not saying I think he's evil deep down--just that he's holding back a bit.

And let's not forget, he's also human with faults like the rest of us.

Saying goes "all the good ones are taken or gay" (and I might add.. or both) But Jason show's that's not always true.....>:)

While I think he's great... he does seem a tad 'boring' though (no offense Joshua) but Jason does..he's not very animiated...excited...doesn't really get into any really intense / emotion or interesing convo's and maybe that's all a part of his game plan but if it's not he's not the type of guy I would recommend to a friend (too young fer me hehe) cause um... it'd turn out like those 'boring' guy things usually do... now I'm NOT saying he's boring... he knows this game and this show and the banners and all that and he may just be smart enough to be playing it very low key..ie boring...>:)

I don't know Jimmer. Jason doesn't go around trying to impress the other hgs with his Christian values or trying to promote his religion. He just "is" who he is; a nice, decent guy playing a cut throat game for a whole lotta money.

Here's proof that Jason is not the good little saint he plays on TV: He's allied with Danielle!

I have a 20 yr old niece who is getting married in Dec., she is a virgin as well as her fiancee. They both grew up in the same small town, and have been able to "go-together" through High School and will be graduating from College together.... All I can say is "Yes, Virginia, there are still virgins in the world.... And I hope Jason uses this to help alot of kids to choose the same path. Being a virgin does not make you naive or unknowing of users, liars and cheats ....Jason has the God-given good sense to play this game, as well as Roddy....

Uh....I don't think Roddy would say that his strength is "god-given"! :-)

Lujie somehow I missed your earlier comment. I was watching that convo and Jason started to say something and Marc interrupted him and said, "I always feel bad being mean in front of Jason."

Jason is quietly showing the way without recriminations or scenes....

Wcv I missed that part then 'cause I just know that Marc was going on and on and calling him Jabba and the troll and talking about how he eats more than anyone else (they just joke about Yum Yum eating a lot - yeah right) and then after he left the room Jason was saying how funny Marc was. Marc isn't funny - he's cruel.

Jason has many qualities that make him my favourite player. But what stands out most for me is that he sees this game for just what it is. He is not expecting it to be a life altering experience; even if he wins the money, he will be the same person and have the same priorities. Unlike some other HGs (past and present), he doesn't use the show as televised therapy session. He's playing a game and having fun.

I agree Jason does have great qualities and seems to be a really neat kid. I just don't think he is ready to be sainted yet. It really bothered me when he was referred to as "the Messiah" and I'm sure it bothered him as well.

Lujie...I agree with your last post completely.

Wouldn't it be great if there were more Jasons' in the world? On saying that I am not just speaking about his virginity and his religion. He is a shining example of someone who does not compromise their principles and remains committed in his choices.

I truly believe that Jason revealed his true self originally and when we found what his true nature was he then set the stage for what we should expect of him in the latter part of his game playing. Nothing wrong with that. What a guy!

Jason's one of my favorites,too,but before I put him in the same class as Curtis or even Cassandra,I'd like to see him under the same kind of pressure.And I don't believe for amoment their's one HG in their right mind or not as the case maybe :) that will want Jason standing beside them at the end. At this pt. in time I hope he wins. Under the radar he's not!

I believe that Jason is a nice person because so far he has maintained his composure and even more than the virgin thing, he's always kept his mouth in line. He always tries to say something nice about everyone,that has GOT to be hard in a house with Chiara!
