Ethan was a let down because he really didn't do very much to influence the game at all IMHO. He was a nice guy and that was it, a nice guy. He took orders from Lex and just lucked into having the right alliance. I preferred him winning over Kim but that was about the only Survivor I would have put him over. Anyway, Jason is very much the same way. He lets others influence his decisions. When/If he takes a stand on something without being manipulated then I'll sing a different tune. I don't think he should get $500,000 just because he's a nice guy.

i dont know why i have such trouble wanting jason to win. i look at the guy and think he seems like a nice guy and so on, and so on. but, then i cant get myself to say i want jason to win. a person can be nice and have a personality. i just have not connected with him after all of this time. he is just kinda there. i probably dont make any since to anyone but myself. i guess i feel he could go walk out the front door and i wouldnt even notice. but, on the other hand, i realize that is probably why he is still in the game. he blends into the walls.

Jason suddenly seems to be acting as if he believes he is a producer and director of BB3... Maybe he is a mole. I think this has been one big audition for him.

Jason has been my second favorite to win (second to Dani). However, I may be re-evaluating that second place. Has anybody else noticed how testy and finicky Jason has become lately? He's become so much like the finicky character on the "Odd Couple". He's so stubborn, and everything has to be HIS way and his way only. He doesn't want anyone to touch anything in his HOH room and complains about everything anybody else does. His anger at the others over the last food competition was unbelievable. He doesn't even try to put himself in others' shoes before showing his anger or displeasure with them. He bosses everyone around like he believes he's A.S. himself. He hasn't really played the game all that well, making many bad moves along the way. I like the kid for his Christian and moral values. However, he doesn't deserve to win this game judging on game play.

Dee? Are you saying Jason as head of household has to eat PB & J this week? Every other time to my knowledge the HOH didn't have to eat PB & J why would that change the week he is HOH and why wouldn't he complain about that. LOL

Whit, I think there was one other food competition where the HOH getting to eat was tied to how well the other HG's did. I don't think this is the first time.

I understand he's po'd. But, at least he has his snacks, right?

Whining?Weak?Riding on coat-tails? Are we watching the same show? Jason had Roddy all figured out, the first day after the evictioon, he told the others exactly how roddy played the game. He knew EXACTLY what was going on. Don't think for ONE Minute that he doesn't have Daniell's number, LOL, he still needs her. I think he has played this game in a brilliant way and he deserves to be right where he is. Luck had nothing to do with it, Jason is smart and if he wins it, he deservs it.

I was surprised that Jason said, "Amy doesn't deserve to win." I believe he said that to Marc when Marc was questioning Jason for having nominating him.

I thought the other day he said, "Amy deserves to win just as much as anyone else."

Guess he has had a change of heart.

Baronna, I think he said that to Mar to placate him.

I'm proud of Jason tonight, what he did was very hard.

What was hard? He intended for Marc to go all along. Sorry that I'm going against th grain here, but I don't like Jason. I know that parts of the show are scripted, but he could not hide his pleasure (via a smirk) when he was looking at the houseguests pictures and saying how much he loved them all. His reaction at the food comp was irritating to me, as well. AND, his putting up Amy & Marc was not "just about as bad as drawing straws" or whatever he said. It was strategy (good strategy, I'll give him). I have a problem with people being two-faced. If you're up front and say that this is a game, and I think I'm making the best strategic move, people might accept that better. People get bitter when you fake emotions and then perform actions that don't coincide with your stated feelings. Don't like him. But hey, dislike Dani more!

Pinky, Jason spoke the truth when he said it was like drawing straws to some degree. The golden POV changed everything and the only one not at risk this past week was Jason. He stated as much at the conclusion of the nomination meeting.

This game is about lying, manipulating etc. Jason has been able to play (I guess what you're calling two faced) without being overtly cruel and hateful. Additionally, yes he's had a crappy couple of days. So what? If the worst thing that can be said is that he's been snippy for a couple days then I say it just proves that he is human. Everyone in that house has been snippy. EVERYONE. Not one person has been "snip free."

I think he's playing this game brilliantly. And I hope he wins.

I don't like, nor dislike Jason. What I believe was hard was looking at a man that believed you had an alliance with him and evicting him to his face. I was worried he would take the easier route like he did when he nominated Gerry instead of Roddy, and evict Amy because he knew she was prepared to go. But, he took the harder of the two choices and evicted Marcellas. So IMO I am proud because IMO what he did was IMO very hard.

I was also proud when Lisa made the hard decision to vote Amy back in over Eric. I don't like her either.

Bbfanatic - you make sense to me :) I don't dislike Jason, but I'd rather see Dani win than Jason now. Why? For the same reasons most of the posts here say. Sure he hasn't been 'dirty' or mean... he's let Dani do that to get them where they are. Has he ever called her on going overboard on any of this? No. Why does he ride and 'call' others when they do things he doesn't like, but rarely calls Dani on some of her less than decent ways?

I think most of the viewers want the sweet/good person to win, others want the one that had the best strategy and did most of the work to win. Dani did the work, between the two of them she deserves to win more IMO (I am for Lisa #1, sweet and had more versitily in the game.)

I never saw Jason tell (or even ask) Dani to stop calling Roddy the devil.

and that is my point.... he is clean because she has done all the unclean things, so I wouldn't take away the win from her for it... Jason knew she was doing it... he didn't tell her not to deceive Marc for another instance, he knew it was going on. The one thing we detractors have is that unless he gets a word from Amy or Lisa... they will likely take Dani to the final 2 if either of them should win HOH next week. That is what I am hoping for. I'd have liked to see Jason on his own, but it didn't happen, sadly... and he seemed like he'd be fun and funny to listen to at first.... turned out not to be very interesting at all (other than the alliance aspect with Dani he's been rather disappointing and boring).

Did anyone else notice on the show tonight that when Jason and Lisa were in the kitchen talking about Marcellas leaving and she was apologizing for him having to make the hard decision, Jason started to say that he thought it was a cool thing to happen, but then thought better of it because it would sound horrible so he schooled himself and said something like, "oh its ok." He did say to Dani about it being good tv if it were to happen.

I may be reading into that but I would put money that was what he was going to say. Jason never forgets this is a tv show and that this is his time to shine and I think thats what bothers me. His constant correcting of them when they're in a challenge or his redos...I don't know, it is just not very genuine for someone who seems to pride himself on being such. I know people go in that house for different reasons but I do actually feel his agenda sometimes. Like him saying sorry to the pictures on the wll when he grabbed the keys. He knew that was a tv moment and he plays up to it. I don't like that in him. Let your guard down sometimes.

I don't admire people that have the ability to manipulate and put on fake smiles (like he himself admitted during the Dinner from hell segment ) .

I find it very creepy how he is always smiling when he talks. And his breathy DR suck-ups to the other HG's drive me crazy.

And he was one of my favorite HG's until he nominated and kicked out Gerry. After that I kind of saw the light with Jason. He's as self-serving as Roddy, he just has a different style.

I guess I just prefer real people like Amy and even Marcellas (he was nasty at times but he was being himself!!! )

I agree with whoever said that he's been on one long acting audition 24/7 since day one. The guy is a total fraud in my book. If he wins I'll be as PO'ed as when Richard won Survivor 1

JMO of course

I know the most in this thread does not like Jason but I feel he is playing the game like the rest of them. I believe the majority of the time his smile is for real. I do not see the live feeds but I really do not blame him for being upset about the food competition. It has been a long time for all of them in the house and I believe things are starting to bug them all that may not of bugged them a few weeks ago. Why was he not able to be a part of the food competition and Dani being HOH was allowed in this last one. As far as his smile for the dinner, I am not sure he was real happy about having to do that, but I believe he was coached into doing it.

I can't imagine his smile is for real when he is in the diary room saying how threatened he feels and he is smiling the whole time. I do believe he is more aware of his image than others. It killed him to be so upbeat during the dinner party because he really wanted to say is 'suck it up." He was very insensitive in the dr about that but he knows not to show his true feelings. He reminds me of a newscaster who seems to smile even when reporting a house fire or accident.

Oh that DR entry killed me, he was going on and on about how he would have eaten anything in front of him. Well that's nice to say, but what makes me mad is that Amy DID try to eat the poi and it was just too much of it. Honestly, when Amy goes this week, my interest in this game is pretty much done. I don't think any of the three that are left are all that entertaining or anything I care to watch. As much as I didn't like Roddy, I'd have much rather seen Jason and Danielle up on the block at some point. I want to see THEM sweat the way they've made everyone else do it.

I see so much criticism of Jason, and I have to wonder WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA?!?! Here we have a sweet, loveable, kind, sincere, generous, honest, loyal all American boy..and what do we see in the chat rooms??? We see comments on how he is a puppet, how he is weak..etc. etc.

How many times have we had "good moral" characters on these shows? We should be overjoyed to see someone who doesn't participate in bed hopping and bad language etc.

Jason has been a breath of fresh air this year. I hope we see more contestants like him in the future.

The problem with America is that we have had our fill of the Jim Bakers, Oral Roberts, and other holier than thou people who preach and pray to God then sleep around on their wives and vacation on the money sent in by hard working Americans.

We have seen too many slick as chit tv evangelists and goody goody types that hide their sins beneath a cloak.

Too many Priests and churches hiding the horrors that go on and harm our children.

Jason preaches, but when it comes right down to it... he fails. You cannot have false idols.. nor pray to other Gods... If you label yourself than it's your responsibility to make sure you intend to live up to that label.

No one, but Jason, declared he was religious, a virgin, and strived to live a good life. Then he turns around, links up with the foulest of people in the house, falls for every woman, lied, and made fun of those same people... under the guise of a guy that wants to be thought of as a good person.

Well, you can't do that. Not without putting yourself up as a target. He did that. We that see him as just a regular guy with faults and lust in his heart... well.... sometimes we have to take a shot at that big target.

well, my mind has changed since sept 7 about jason. i now want him or lisa to win. i have gotten to know jason more now that he has had more airtime. last nights show was fun to watch, even though dani was still on it. i have learn to tune her out. i think lisa & jason "harmless" flirtations have been cute.
