Was it 'bang out of order' to evict Lateysha
 

Rewatching that explosive episode of annihilation week where Jason bags the 20k and evicts Lateysha.

Am I the only one who felt they complelety over exaggerated over her eviction. I hate the fact they found it bang out of order that he evicted her as if Lateysha is the only person that deserves to be in the house and evicting her would be an awful unforgiving sin. Have they even forgotten the fact that its a flipping game show!?

Thoughts?

Yeah as a game move it was perfectly acceptable she was an obvious winner, but I’d have fathered it didn’t happen as she was just coming into her own and we could’ve had so much more from her in future weeks.

It was an amazing moment, she would easily have won if he hadn’t done it and she was incredibly annoying and self righteous to boot so it was great from a fan standpoint as well.

The groups reaction to it just proved that it was a good thing as well, that groups complete overreaction and horrible treatment of Jason shows how nasty and vindictive they were as a group and she personally, was Right at the centre of it

I thought it was a great move, afterall it's a game ,your all in there to win , I'm sure had it been the other way round she'de have chosen him , so yes it made the show for me , he was a worthy winner , imo.

Course not. People acted like she had a God given right to be there above everyone else, the reaction was absurd.

It was bang out of order for producers to not let the public decide who gets evicted, but as for the housemates, it was fair game.

Shame though as she would've been the only black female winner in the show's history.

my live reaction to Jason evicting Lateysha in 2016 from the other forum I was on:

:skull:

It was just a bit tight I thought as he was a wealthy businessman and evicted a struggling single mother (at the time I think she’s doing well for herself nowadays) who had a great shot at the prize money but like everyone’s said it’s a game show so even though I hated him as a housemate I can’t criticise him too much 3 years on for this.

Of course not, the reaction to it was ridiculous and it was the smartest move available. Just because she went on about how it was for her kid, yadayada all the time doesn't mean she should be exempt from eviction. I think of them all too..there would only have been jason with the balls to actually chose her, from memory everyon thought it would be someone else (I want to say jayne?) and would have all voted the same way

I remember everyone (including Jayne herself lmao) bollocking him for not evicting Jayne.

It meant that Jayne got to stay, and Lateysha was vastly overrated and all style, no substance, so it was a win-win really :love:

The twist itself was dumb, but it was a great move for his benefit.

:clap1:

Best thing he ever did. :clap1:

Jason was a bit of a boring fook and I was just starting to like laytesha. It could’ve been worse, we could’ve lost Jayne before the final, but eh not the most optimal turnout. It was an awful production decision anyway

And people are acting like Jason’s the only one who’s allowed to have an opinion and any other stance is an attack. Just as much as he was within his right to pick whoever, laytesha was in her right to react the way she did to getting evicted and losing possible prize money. It is a game show as people said, and you’re decisions come with consequences.

Tbh I don't think Lateysha was as given as a winner as people made out?

I loved Lateysha and while I wish she stayed and got an exit through the front door, I can't be too mad (I'm more outraged we didn't see Laura in the final with Evelyn and Jayne </3)

It was great TV though. Everyone screaming "JASON!!!" While Jason just looks around dumbfounded was kinda funny too

Nope. Jason did the right thing and evicted the person who he felt was the biggest threat. Besides, Lateysha had been horrible to him and Andy, so it made sense for him to pick her.

As much as I like her, I'm glad Jason did pick her as it gave us one of the best BB episodes of all time! Annihilation week was phenomenal. To think every one thought it would destroy BB17, when it did the complete opposite.

I love BB17. :flutter: Can't believe it's 3 years old. :shocked:

Yeah, I can't even remember her being the favourite with the public.

Based on popularity polls she was way ahead of everyone at the time.

I still talk to Jason on Twitter he still has his doggie Clio:wavey:

So glad he won!

Yes,me too, I remember the melt down in here when he hit that buzzer and evicted Latesha, lol good BB times.

it's not her reactions that I was on about it's the meltdown on TIBB as though she was their sis or something,it was hilarious:laugh:

A great TV moment I loved every second of it
