"He pulled an Amy"? Keep in mind Amy nominated Roddy last week. Sure she sucks up to him and flirts with him and tells him everything, but she did nominate him. And he would have gone if Danielle and everyone else had had the guts to vote him out.

And keep in mind that the direction of the game all depends on who gets HOH next week. If Dani and Lisa and Jason can alternate getting it--boom! they're the final three.

I think Jason is calculating his every move ....

If he nominated Roddy, he would lose Roddys' and other HG votes in the end ...

I think he knew he wasn't going to do Dani's or Lisa's dirty work ....

If Dani or Lisa want Roddy out, they will have to do it on their own... Jason is well aware of the consequences of that move....

Jason is gunning for that grand prize like everybody else .... as he should.. i don't think he is weak or strong - just being a even keel ..

This next HOH will very very interesting .... stay tuned ... lol

Well said Romans8_1. As much as I don't like J being perceived as being weak (by posters, HGs and himself!), I think getting G out of the house is his best move. J is on to R. He may have moments of weakness regarding R, but unlike Chiara and Eric and Amy and Marcellas,etc, J has moments where he sees R for just who he is. I'm still betting on J to come through!

Debdo wrote:"Roddy is valuable in the fact that most of his friends/allianances will form the core of the voting group for the final. Showing some restraint at this junction quite possibly ensures Jason more votes than if had acted solely as Dani's hand-puppet. I believe since Jason is wised as to how the game is played he did this as a strategic move knowing those voting are seeing & have seen all shows to date."

You are right. Why piss off Roddy and his friends (Eric, Tonya, Chiara, Josh) and lose their votes?

Jason should wait and let Danielle, Lisa, Amy, or Marcellas nominate Roddy.

Getting rid of Gerry or Amy is just as good as getting rid of Roddy. It's good to get rid of Gerry because people seem willing to keep him around. Gerry could end up in final 2 since it would be good strategy to go up against him. it would be good to get rid of amy because she is Marcellas and Roddy's puppydog/slave. And people want to get rid of Amy because she was evicted and vacationed in Mexico.

I was not dissapointed in Jason not putting up Roddy, he not only gained another possible vote down the road, but I think he secured a few votes at the end if he makes it that far. It could very easily come down to the final 3 of Danny, Roddy and Jason, where they have all agreed that at that point there are no more alliances, that they will vote out who ever they feel like. So far all three of them have only won hoh when they wanted to, I think they could have all won it at most anytime through out the game, they are all 3 very intelligent and know what is going on in the house. The final hoh competition could become very interesting and I would say at that point if Jason won he would get rid of Roddy and would face Danny in the final, which I do beleive he could win. I don't think he could win against Roddy, Roddy has too much early backing and these people will stick by him in the end.

Mr D...excellent observations. I hadn't thought of it from that viewpoint but it makes a lot of sense when laid out in that format.

i made that same observation, Mr D - in another thread -- i agree with u .....

Jason is alot smarter than his fans r giving him credit for ...(their dislike of another HG might be fogging up thier thinking process, lol)

He is well aware of the consequences if he nominates Roddy

He knows that Dani or Lisa will have to do the dirty work and get rid of Roddy...

its not that Jason is weak or strong .. he is playing on a even keel, waiting to see where the cards fall .. and then calculate what to do next..

Trust me, he is out for the grand prize like the rest of them .... as he should be at this stage :)

Cindy,

I have to agree with you and Mr. D again. I even wrote on this earlier in this thread. While the majority of my posts in this thread where about the moral implications of his actions, I also acknowledged that after consideration, it seem to make a lot of strategic sense too. 1) not to look too overtly as he's in an alliance with D/L and 2)to look good in front of some of the R supporters.

Let's not make this a habit Cindy. :)

lol Romans - im still shocked :)

if more Jason fans - who r also Roddy Haters - would take off thier 'Roddy-Hater' glasses and look at this view point - maybe they wouldn't be so hard on the guy because he didnt nominate Roddy :)

I agree with these last posts and posters. I was away from the feeds for the weekend, and was intialy disappoint when finding out the nominations (in a long distance call to my (also watching) daugher : in the nominations. I've said elsewhere (or maybe earlier here), that I didn't see the stragegy. This IS the best thing about this site, hearing other rational opinions. Like in the BB house, ya hafta wade thru 'stuff'; a person's dislike/haterd clouds the observations.... said that earlier about Danielle. She's also been rolling with the punces, as is Lisa. This is a good head game! Chess is a good analogy for BB too.

Thanks Everybody above.
