Jason should stick with the nominations he has, get rid of Mars, unless Jason wins POV, than he can go to Mars and tell him what all went down this week with Danni. Tell Mars he can't put Danni up but will put Lisa in her place. They need to imform Amy of this. They vote Lisa out, than hope that Amy or Mars or Jason if they allow him to participate. Who ever wins nominates Danni and Jason, which will only leave one person to vote, this person need to vote out Danni. You end up with Mars, Amy and Jason in final three where Jason would need to win to stay in the game.

Second option would be for Jason to go to Danni and tell her that the jury will vote for the person that played the best game, not the most popular. Remind her that Nicole was more popular last year than Will, but Will played a better game. ( that may be a white lie about Nicole being more popular) Tell her that the voters will definitly go by who played a good game and didn't stab people in the back, letting her know that if she stabs him in the back the voters will not be in support of a move like that and than she wouldn't stand a chance in the end. Tell her Lisa has the 6 pack alliance so she is a threat and that everyone might just think that Amy played an excellent game, managing to come back into the game and lasting till the end.

Now Jason was lost for words when Marcellas confronted him and couldn't really tell him why he overlooked Lisa and put him up instead of her.
He tried to avoid the direct question by Marcellas, "do you have a deal with Lisa?" but he insisted and Jason said "no". Bravo to that.
Bravo also that he apologized to Marcellas for nominating him instead of Lisa, it's good to agree with him if that satisfies Marcellas.

I liked Marcellas that went directly to Jason, contrary to Roddy that had no guts to go confront Marcellas.

Jason has left (or not nominated) the only person in the house he probably can't beat. Lisa. In fact Lisa is probably the only one NONE of them can beat. Why aren't they getting rid of her?

Dagny, I agree. Playing the game from Jason's perspective, he needs to get Lisa out now. She is really his only competition when it comes to the final jury vote. Amy, Dani, and Mar, he'd kick butt. He really needs to sit at the table with them and look around real hard and see clearly who he can definitely win against vs. a person he'll have a challenge with. Looking at it that way, Lisa is the only one who fits the profile.

Wendo...and on the other hand...Lisa has to see it the same way. (Jason is her only comp.) Which would make me think that Lisa would want Jason out is she gets HOH. (Maybe that's Dani's stategy. She knows Lisa will want to evict Jason, thus still looking good in Jason's eyes..and letting lisa do her dirty work once again)

Pack your bags son and enjoy your last week in the house. We saw it coming. You should have too.
Hope I'm wrong - it won't be the first time.

As long as Lisa's still in the house, Jason is not the only threat to win 500K, e.g., if next week Jason and Lisa were nominated, Lisa could be voted out. I do think Jason realizes this -- it's partly why he nominated Gerry and Amy instead of Roddy during his previous HOH stint.

If Lisa goes this week (which means Danielle and Marcellas voted to save Amy), then next week it will be Danielle, Marcellas and Amy against Jason with Jason ineligible to compete for HOH.

Oh well Jason, what you're gonna do??
The "she devil" wants you to put up Lisa, it's okay, honor your word to Danielle and you will look good in the eyes of the Jury.
When she will betray you she will look really bad and you're gonna win!!
Forget about Marcellas, he wants you with him not Danielle or Lisa.
So, lighten up and be gentle on Amy when you evict her, tell her how much you're going to miss her but you had no choice to evict her.
She'll understand all about the "she devil"....

Forget about looking good in the eyes of the jury...that's like counting your chickens before they hatch. First, Jason's got to make it to the top 2.

Since Marcellas has the Golden Veto, the odds of booting him this week are slim to none. So Jason's best bet is to take out the person who's the next greatest threat...Danielle.

Jason needs to make amends with Marcellas. Marcellas should be encouraged to remember that he holds his fate in his hands, since that will keep him in a good mood. It will also make him wary of any attempts by Danielle to have him not use the Golden Veto or to save Amy with it.

Jason should make Danielle feel safe by telling her that she won't be put up. This is a lie (or at least, it should be), but it's a necessary one. If Danielle has any idea that she's in danger, she'll do everything in her power to keep herself alive. She needs to feel safe...so safe that she gets cocky and digs her own grave (although that's not necessary...just a useful side-effect :)).

Jason should keep Amy in the dark, since she talks too much and isn't the most strategic person anyway.

He must ask Lisa to vote to evict Danielle when he tosses her up. That way, the vote will at least tie out, and he can boot Danielle. It's not personal...just business.

However, Lisa should also be kept in the dark until the last minute. The more she feels that she's in danger, the more likely it is that she'll do what Jason requests when asked (preferably just before the live show on Thursday). It'll keep her from thinking that keeping Danielle around (to look good beside her in the top 2) is a good idea.

This can be done. As long as Jason keeps his mouth shut until Thursday, it can happen. The setup for this week means that the ramifications of using the Veto and throwing up a replacement are lessened, since it all has to go down within a 2 hour period. If Jason needs to break ties with Danielle (or rip her off, if you will), this week provides the perfect opportunity.

Gouraphik, I'm not arguing with you, but isn't Lisa a bigger threat in the final vote than Dani is?

I have to say this about Jason he is pretty reality show smart...so here's the time to prove it...

1. Don't worry about what Marcy is going to do with the GPOV...
2. Just hours before the live show grab Lisa and ask her one question? If Marcy uses the GPOV and I put Dani up would you vote for Dani to create the tie so I can cast the deciding vote to make the live show good?
3. If Lisa says yes...he has the upper hand. If Marcy votes Amy out and Lisa votes Dani out it's a tie Jason kicks Dani out the door...If Lisa votes Dani out and Marcy votes Dani out...even better because he stays clean.
4. after the show Jason PRAYS LIKE HE's never prayed before that LIsa gets the HOH. (or BB gets smart and puts in a twist that he can compete for HOH this week again)
5. Here's the tricky one: If Lisa gets the HOH he talks her into putting up Marcy/Amy...with a deal to vote out whom ever Lisa wants..because to Jason it really doesn't matter who stays...he can beat either of them but would be easier if Amy stuck around and he could convince Lisa of that because of the 2nd chance Amy had...but Marcy would drop her from the finals if given the chance.
6. Vote out Marcy and for HEAVENS SAKE WIN THE FINAL HOH...

otherwise ... Jason won't be able to tread water much long on Dani's coat tails...it's time to cut and jet stream off that raft...

Secretsmile, while Danielle is great to go against in the top 2 (since she's probably alienated most of the jury) the risk of Jason getting gunned down due to her efforts is too high to ignore.

If Danielle is thinking about the final 2, she won't want Jason around...not if she wants the $500K. It'd be too risky. You don't know if the jury will use emotion or reason when they vote, so why bring along somebody who makes you look bad in comparison?

She's got Jason in her sights right now. She'll have others do the dirty work, like she usually does, but her main goal for next week is to bump off Jason. That's why Jason needs to get rid of her. If he can't, then he's gotta get rid of Marcellas. If both of them stay, and either Lisa or Amy go, he's in big, big trouble.

its too late for jason..he should have put danielle up and made sure she was gotten rid of..i

Jason will be nominated, however if he's up with Lisa, Lisa will go.
If he's up with Marcellas, Marcellas will go, if he's up with Danielle, Danielle will go.

This is just wishful thinking...:)

Boy, were we all wrong!!!!

So Danielle finally rewarded Jason with a HOH win! It goes without saying that Lisa and Amy will be up.

So, if Jason is the only one to vote he can decide who to evict, right?? No POV this time.

So he can actually decide who goes and that's almost better than being HOH..he's got all the power...

Well, I never make predictions, so I'm never wrong. :) I simply make suggestions on what would be the best strategy in a given situation. Marcellas was silly, and Jason evicted him. Case closed.

Now, if Jason doesn't get nommed by Danielle (and I doubt that she will, since she hates to do dirty work in public if she can avoid it), he should pick Amy to go to the top 3. Lisa's got to go, since she'd likely pick Danielle over him, given the chance. Conversely, Amy might pick him over Danielle if she wins HOH next week. We'll just have to see.

I know it is too late for this but I was thinking about it earlier in the shower and never had a chance to post. Here is what I think would have been the best strategy for Jason...

He talks to Amy and tells her that he was going to vote her out tonight but if she would agree to throw the next hoh to ensure he and Dani in the final two, he will keep her for one more week. Amy has never wanted to win, she never played the game. She merely wanted to be apart of things. I believe this could have worked. What do you guys think? LIke I said, I know it is too late but I am still curious.

Yes, that is a great idea Fabnsab! Too bad Amy wasn't "good" enough for them to keep.

Has anyone else noticed that when Jason studdddddddders......he is really reaching for what he is saying.....in other words I don't think he's speaking from the heart when he studders.

Wendo

Friday, September 20, 2002 - 01:11 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Fabnsab, Yeah, that would've been good.

They should've kept Amy tonight. But I don't think they wanted to break their promise with Lisa. I understand that too. I don't think that Amy would've done well in the endurance boat competition tonight.
