He doesn't bother me too much, but I wouldn't want to hang out with him. I find him to be a bit dull.

Gentoo said: Every other HG in there has SOME sort of personality and every other HG has done SOMETHING for us to watch, criticize, admire, laugh at, etc.

Since when is being a decent guy who lives by his standards not something to admire. This man walks away from situations he finds uncomfortable (blatant sex talk among the girls) but doesn't push his views on someone else or expect them to change how they act around him.

You hear so many times about how nice guys finish last.. I, for one, hope this nice guy is the last HG standing. His strategy might not be all "up in your face" but he definitely has a strategy and he's smart about it too. If he was playing the way some of the others are, people would be complaining for another reason.

Good luck to Jason.. just keep on being who you are.. and playing the game your way... it's obviously working.

I think that most people who say they don't like him fall into one of 2 categories (not that I would ever categorize anyone :) ) Either they have a problem with his strong religious convictions, or they are caught up in TV mode where everything has to be dramatic and exciting.

In real life, Jason would be the best one to have as a friend. Really caring and someone you could talk to on a day to day basis. I think Jason is a lot deeper than his critics give him credit for. The quite ones usually are.

For me:
1) Marc would wear thin really quickly. He'd be funny for the first 5 minutes, but his superficial/bitter personallity would get to me.
2) Amy and Kiki are too needy and that gets old too.
3) Roddy is too pompus. We would have interesting conversations, but I would tire of him talking down to me.
4) Gerry ... a little too ecentric for me.
5) Danielle - She's ok. I would be interesting to see what she would be like on the outside. I don't know how much is play and how much is real.

My point is that most of these people exhibit many traits that would wear thin over time (some quicker than others) and would eventually become friends that I would see only once a month (if that).

I think Jason exhibits that traits that make a true friend. Compassionate, loving , good listener, non-hurtfull sense of humor, nice, etc. Over time, this is the type of person I would want to be friends with.

But, "Ohhhh, he's boring!" some say. Well, I gotta be honest with you, there is too much drama in my life already. The rest of the HG would just add to it. I don't need someone who talks about everyone and cares only about themselvesand hurts others. That's the exciting people that Jason's critics like. Maybe that tells you something about Jason's critics. Give me someone who truly cares about me any day of the week.

JMO.

I like Jason, both in the way he is playing the game and how I would assume he lives his life outside the house. He does have a game plan of keeping under the radar as long as possible, but he does have flaws in his game, he is alligning with Danny and allowing her to make all the decisions, he needed to be more assertive on the last vote. He let Danny tell him how to vote yesterday and he should have told her he was firm on who he wanted out and she had to agree.

As far as personality, he seems like a very nice kid, who does come up with a few good one liners to and about the other hgs, he also seems to be opening up a little more as time goes by.

Beserkknight2, that passive-aggressive spineless boy is using his own strategy. Gee, Roddy and Chira couldn't get the spineless "boy" to do their bidding. I find it rather "telling" that you refer to this wonderful man as a boy and can imagine why. He has strengh in his convitions, and that is to be commended in this day and age.
We all sit back and love to "hate" the HG for their evil ways, and now that we have a young man in the home that has, and lives by high moral standards people think he is boring.... I think he is inspirational. God Bless him. I am glad to see that most people support Jason, and welcome a bit of "good family values" into their livingrooms. His parents should be very proud.

Jason is this year's Curtis without the wit and wisdom. BB needs "nice" as a contrast to the rest.

I wasn't going to post in this thread (cause I LOVE Jason) but I do want to reply to Beserk. If you pay attention, which you have to do since he only has very short verbal outbursts of stratgety then they go away for a long time lol, JASON is the one who told Dani that Roddy had to go. Jason is the one who said he is evil. Dani didn't tell him the plan he told her.

The perception problem has been because Dani and everyone else in there goes on and on and ON about strategy, whereas Jason waits and waits and when necessary speaks what he is thinking aloud.

So the way I see it Jason IS most definately playing the game. He is just trying to do it honestly, with as much respect as possible, and without hammering away at the same point. :)

I'm not a big Jason fan but I don't dislike him. He seems like a very nice guy and yes he is playing the game with as nuch respect as possible. Would love to see him have an outburst or two just for the entertainment of it. He is just a little too "pure" for my tastes, but if I had a daughter his age, she would be waiting for him the day he walks out of the house. He will make a great husband and father.

Beserkknight2 said "I don't find it attractive that a man would sit back and wait for a woman to "tell" him how to vote. Doesn't he have a mind of his own?? What kind of spine does this show? He's a passive- aggressive, pineless "boy" to me. Sorry."

I beg to differ, I don't read it the same way. It appears to me that Dani and Jason have reached the level of trust that one word commutes the intentions of the other. Yes TRUST a noval concept for this game isn't it. Either way I find it vastly entertaining to watch these 2 dance circles around the rest.

Lurk, I also noticed on last night's show that it was Jason who was telling Danielle what to do. That thrilled me. I think Jason is great. I wish I knew more people like him who are confident in themselves and their convictions. I think he is a lot stronger than people give him credit for. I get a kick out of listening to him stumble through conversations with the houseguests and then hearing him so well-spoken and confident in his diary room entries. More and more you can see his personality and humor coming out. I hope he stays in the game long enough to "come out" and start playing in the open. I think a lot of people will be surprised.

I can't say I dislike Jason. But I can't say I like him either.

He is kind of like Pablum. Nothing much to him.

Romans, I have no doubt that Jason would make a great friend. He seems like a really good guy. But I can't say I really care for him as a player in this game. He just doesn't seem to have done a whole lot other than to join up with Danielle.

I think everyone is underestimating Jason. When I saw the conversation with Dani in the early morning hurs and also the conversation he and Dani had in the HOH room, I was struck with the impression that he is calling the shots with Dani. Jason votes the way Jason wants to vote and more importantly I would look to see him distance himself from Dani.

She made a big mistake telling him to change his vote in front of others. The other night in the HOH room he was adament with Dani that nobody see them together and that they do not even talk to each other in front of the other HGs. I am betting that Jason may think that Dani is a loose cannon and he will quietly back away. If Roddy stays in the house, look to Jason to form an alliance with Amy and Marcellas.

I love Jason and would like to have him at a personal level.

However, I must admit that I have issues with him on the show. Yes, BB's edit made it look as though he was calling the shot, but if you read all of the live feeds, it isn't really that.

BB's edits do wonders. Remember they also made it seem as though Lisa was making her own decisions and was very unsure about how she would vote. It may be true, but they suppressed the part where she was asking Chiara whether she wanted to stay and told Chiara she would get that. And then the part where Lisa was agreeing about evicting Roddy, asking Amy questions per Danielle's order and script.

The aim of BB was to make it seem as though each persons made decisions themselves. They even skipped the part where Danielle offered Amy votes provided she didn't put up Jason. From the edit, you would think that it was all Amy's decision without any influence and Amy was pushing for Danielle to give her what she Amy wanted that would guarantee Chiara's depature.

Edit does wonders. I was glad to see Jason speak for himself, but I'm afraid that the edit skipped too many things. I am hoping strongly that Jason makes decisions himself, but one would have to explain why Danielle would pull the "opposite" game if Jason is determined however.

Basically, I lost interest in supporting him in this game because of his association with Danielle, worst of it all seeming to be a puppet.

I still love him though. I love when he says those sweet things to Amy because they seem so real and look so cute. :D

I admit though that he seems boring as portrayed 24/7. He's invisible. However, on the edit version, Jason seems quite active compared to the live feeds. I think it is all about the role BB gives him.

Maris, I was just going to post something similar. Don't overlook Jason. He's playing the game, just like everyone else.

I absolutely LOVE Jason! Because of him, I realize that there ARE some good and decent men left in this crazy world!

I'm sick to death of hearing people refer to Jason as a kid or a boy. He is neither! Just because he has religious convictions, doesn't swear and is a virgin does not make him a child either mentally or emotionally! I find him to be a mature and articulate person. If you watch his behaviour and his conversations on the LF or read the LFP you realise that he is a well rounded adult.

I think the tantrums, the petty vengeance games, the nasty name calling, and the attention seeking games the other houseguests play are a lot more childish than anything Jason says or does. Jason is a lot more adult in that he knows who he is as a person and has chosen the moral path he wants to follow. Can you say that for some of the others?

In terms of the game, I think his strategy was excellent. However, it is very unfortunate that Dani blew things so bad this week and he's going to have to do a lot of work to keep himself in the game the next couple of weeks.

I agree with many of you.. Jason is a Big Brother "expert" and is playing this game very well... He *knows* that nothing is gained from going out swinging early on.. I mean, there are still 8 people in the house, the last thing you want to do now is attract attention to yourself!.. Josh did, and look what happened to him.. Now Roddy might be gone, and I wouldn't be surprised if Dani is gone soon too..

However, Jason is waiting for his moment.. I can see him aligning with people we may not expect, but in a very subtle way.. Maybe he will quietly work a deal with Gerry and Lisa, but let Roddy (assuming he stays) Marcellus and Amy think they run the show.. But if they start picking of his alliance, he will just casually drift back into their alliance and help break it apart..

I wouldn't be surprised if it is Lisa and him in the finals, and if so, I think he will win it all.. He just has to keep flying under the radar for a few more weeks, and I think he can do it! I mean, even this week, when it was the first time anyone even considered nominating, he was almost certainly 100% safe..

For the purpose of our entertainment Jason is boring - for HIS purpose, which is winning 500k and not makign himself look like a fool on National TV - he's doing great.

I wish there were more people like Jason in this world. I think he's a trustworthy and upstanding guy.. and someone I'd be proud to call a friend. However, that being said, I think he needs to crawl out from under Dani's skirt. As a game show contestant, I also find him quite boring.. but like others have said we need to have a balance in that house. An entire house full of drama queens would be a bit overwhelming, to say the least.
If in the coming weeks, Jason comes thru independently, I'll be rooting for him to win in the end. If and when he ever loses Dani, I think his game will finally begin.

Ryn I agree with you..he would have been the perfect player in BB1, tho. I barely think of him being on the show, he is so far UTR.

Karuuna, you are right, the speedo factor is a nice benefit.

i WISH jason would get HoH this week!! that way he is forced to show a "dark side" by nominating someone......

Jason, you cant please everybody all the time!

It has been interesting to watch Jason's reactions during nominations, as twice now his has been the last key out of the box.. He looks very nervous, and it would be interesting to see how he would act as a nominee too.. Whether he would be "cool like Curtis" or "kooky like Karen & Kiki".. I have a hard time believing he would change, but he might finally start to show some personality if he knows he is in danger.. But I agree, I would personally prefer him winning HoH, not being nominated
