Jason Stutters Badly
Charlieann | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 04:22 am     My heart was breaking for him. He was really struggling. The secondary behaviours ( fidgeting, tapping the cup as a diversion) the switching of words and hemming and hawing were all too familiar to me. I've stuttered my whole life, I'm suprised I didn't noticed this before but last nights show was really the first time Jason spoke at any length and he was also under stress. Stuttering is a cruel mask, it hides almost everything about you, your personality, your humor and your intelligence. I now know for sure that there is alot we don't know about Jason because he's unable to fluently express himself I think he's doing wonderful |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 04:32 am     I've seen him struggling before on the feeds. I bet going into radio really helped him work on the stuttering. I missed the show. (I am going to say this is every thread because I can hardly believe it.) It came on at midnight and I FELL asleep 5 minutes into it. I had read the thread about the show and I heard about how hard he struggled with the vote and how emotional the pressure was making him. I don't blame him for wanting an easy week. I just hope he doesn't stop playing the game. |
Hillbilly | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 06:01 am     ..i's jest thinkin he was havin trouble speakin because it were a confrontational situation...i's don't think Jasonboy does confrontation well... |
Grannygrunt | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 06:14 am     Hillbilly, I agree. I think he's just such a good guy. He just tries to find something good about everybody and with this crew sometimes that really hard to do. So instead of saying something negative, he just hems and haws around the situation. I really did feel sorry for him, you could really tell he struggled with the noms for a while. I still really hope that he comes to his senses and uses the veto and puts Roddy up. nuf said......... |
Hillbilly | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 06:21 am     ...granny...it was sorta like watchin 'daniel in the lions den'...i's still can't decide if NOT putin rodster up was a good think er not...it shor will make for GOOD TV (*snicker*) ta see rodster and dani agoin head ta head like 'the clash of the titans'....<okay...i's got to quit watchin so much tv... > |
Ellenkats | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 06:23 am     No doubt if his stuttering does give away when he's nervous or avoiding a question, Roddy had it figured out the first week. I hope it won't affect Jason's game any. |
Willow_Woman | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 06:28 am     Wcv63, maybe it was good you fell asleep. Watching Jason struggling so (with stuttering and trying to decide to nominate and then the emotions after) actually made me cry. (First time I've ever done that over a television show.) And no, if you saw his crying over the noms, you would know there was no way he was "playing." It was truly heartfelt. Now had that been Roddy, on the other hand... |
Hillbilly | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 06:33 am     ...everybody comes inta this game asayin...i's don't know these people and i's gonna play the game...but ya can't help to get connections with folks (for good er bad) when's ya's cooped up together fer so long....ain't that what they say ta do in a hostage crisis...try ta establish a human bond with tha kidnapper person so's he has a harder time a hurtin ya... i's jest think jasonboy didn't count on this part o' the game...findin the personal, human side ta these folks and likin em and all...that makes it harder ta nominate and ta play the game objective like... |
Missy2 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 08:28 am     I didn't even notice it until the pointed it out. |
Jaysgal | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 08:35 am     Funny, I was just thinking about his stuttering as I woke up and thought abut BB 3 again. I was stuttering last night after trying to imitate Jason. That was scary. Well, I have said in the past that he stutters. It's just, I was not so sure of when he stutters. He says that it happens when he's nervous, which seems pretty true. What makes it sad is that it happens so often, so it means that he's often nervous. I hope that he doesn't let anger build in him and explode one day. I think that he can overcome the stuttering. It's kind of cute when he doesn't do it so much, though. He's such a cutie. |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 08:39 am     Thanks Willow....I already have a soft spot in my heart for Jason and I'm sure that would have cinched it for me. I don't care if he made the wrong decision, I will root for that man to win till my fingers go raw defending him. I'm putting everyone on notice. I'm pretty tenacious <cough cough>, some have called it stubborn but I disagree with them. As far as Jason is concerned he can do no wrong in the game. I have officially donned my rose colored glasses, put up the blinders, and have focused on my newly stated mission. |
Lombadier | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 08:51 am     I also stutter when I am nervous, so I can really empathize with Jason. I like this guy more and more every day, he seems to be a genuinely nice guy. He was having a tough time with the nominations and I felt sorry for him as I watched him cry on Saturday night's show. |
Grannygrunt | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:03 am     Wcv, I am with you. I will defend him until the dying end. Rose colored glasses, blinders, the whole nine yards. BLESS HIS DEAR SWEET HEART. |
Woofy | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:09 am     OK, I may be wrong but what Jason has is NOT a stutter, its a stammer. There IS a difference. |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:13 am     I think we need to start a coalition. JRCGD(Jason's Rose Colored Glass Defenders). Applications are now being taken. The line forms to the left. EOE |
Sisalou | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:16 am     It was very heart wrenching. Jason really is a good person. It definitely is not an act. I am rooting for him all the way. Hillbilly - you are so right about Daniel and the lion's den. Wcv - I'll back you up about Jason. |
What555456 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:22 am     Charlieann You are right. I have been a stutterer all my life --although now it seems to be in remission and only rears its ugly head once in a while. I even can speak in public a lot. Told I sound so natural. I just speak it like I am talking in a conversation. But you know and I know that too is a trick -- if it is too formlalized, the stuttering comes out. If it is less formal, it is easier to control. As he talked last night on TV, it became very apparent to me that he uses all of the tricks we stutterers use to keep from having a block. Those who do not stutter like we do do not realize the array of tricks we all learn to use out of defense. But you saw them. I saw them. It is more than just nervousness. He has had a problem in the past and has developed the same tricks we all develop to get past it. I was pleased to see that most of the time he seems to have it under control -- even as I saw the tricks he was using to do so. I was going to post this last night, but was not sure anyone else would really understand. Thanks for doing so. I appreciate it. |
Kmjm | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:23 am     Personally, I don't see how abandoning the person he has been allied with from the beginning- Danielle- makes Jason a good person. His 'promise' to Chiara was a complete non-reason. Jason is hedging his bets, positioning himself so that he can tag along with either Dani or Rod. IMHO it's a stupid move, but it's not the result of some high religious principle. It's his strategy, however ill-conceived. Jason may be nice, but he's not a freaking saint. Edited to add- And on topic, I expect we shall see more stammering from Jason, now that he's dug himself into this hole. Dani's trust in him will be undermined, and Roddy's not taking him to the end! |
Hillbilly | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:27 am     ...lol kmjm...okey dokey...but what does yu's think about jason stutterin....that was the message topic... |
Guiltyviewer | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:27 am     Oh alRIGHT then...sheesh, I tried to stay away, really I did. But I figured before I throw in the towel since ole Roddy'd pretty much guaranteed himself a win by snookering my dear sweet boy Jason...well it wouldn't hurt to watch the show. Watching Jason agonize over his decision, and hearing him pour out his heart, well....sign me up for the Jason No Matter What Club, too. Happy to be a Charter member, too! I still hope there's a way for him to win (prayers don't hurt) and he's been such a cutie that I can't stay away. I'm back in the fold and supporting my BB addiction again (whew! missed all you guys*hugs to all my fellow BB lovers, especially those partial to Jason* Wcv, thanks for showing me it's worthwhile to 'keep the faith'!!! |
Hillbilly | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:28 am     well....dadgum...yu's edited yourn message afore i got mine posted...NEVERMIND!... |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:31 am     Welcome to all charter members!! Together we CAN make a difference! What and Charlene...thank you for your posts and for sharing that information with us. It gave me even more insight into Jason and made me empathize with him even more! |
Grannygrunt | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:32 am     Ok Wcv, where is my application. I'm signing up. I can hardly wait to see Dani get HOH and Roddy trying to talk to her. I know she has said she will talk to no one and her HOH door will not be open but I'm just waiting for her to see how hard it is. You can bet that Roddy will be the sweetest, nicest, kindest person she ever met. Probably then he will suggest to her that the 2 of them go all the way. Until she has been in Jason's shoes, I think she should encourage him but not MAKE him do anything he doesn't want to. |
Spygirl | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:54 am     After all the ridiculous Jason attacks I've seen, I'm considering applying. First, I'm gonna go eat and get out of the house for a while. Then, I'll letcha' know  |
What555456 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:56 am     Grannygrunt... You think Dani and Rod will go all the way? Way to go Rodtser! Eric only made it to 3rd base! Oh...that's not what you meant? Never mind. <g> |
Secretsmile | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 09:59 am     IMHO, I think part of the stammer that Jason has, is his thoughtfulness, he won't interupt the person interupting him. He also is thoughtful enough to try to word his thoughts as not to offend. Not to mention all the reasons the rest of you noted. AND...BB edited each clip to run together, it has been weeks of daily life they had to choose from. |
Maesin | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 10:13 am     I am a Jason fan; in fact I would like him to win. There I said it. <Putting firewall up>. I do agree that he stammers. He is the hardest person for me to follow when doing LF's. When he was talking to each person individually, before noms, I had to stop before he got to Roddy. I was worn and I know I didn’t even do that great of a job! If anyone has a suggestion for a good way to follow him on the LF's, I would love to hear it. |
