I don't think Jason's reasons for evicting Lateysha were particularly "amicable" (i.e. not socially acceptable), but I feel like their reasoning for slandering his character so viciously aren't exactly that good either.

Like tonight people voted against HM's they've been "friends" with a majority of the series and they likely won't receive the same amount of slander/vitriol.

Granted, Jason was the only vote in his case that decided Lateysha's eviction (and I majorly disagree with the decision myself) but it was fair play and each of them all had the same amount of chance to hit the button and claim the prize/evict. I would argue instead it was a **** strategic move rather than having the most malicious intent.

We found out from Emma too today that the money would've been gone from the prize fund anyway which makes Jason's reasoning even more sound imo. There's a good chance he would've been gone if someone else had hit the button and Lateysha was certainly a threat to others in the house.

Personally, I'd like to have more time for Jason get on with HM's in the house now that Charlie is gone but for now it just feels like a little faux drama going. Similar to drama that Charlie would kick up from the smallest comments made by him... the housemates don't feel comfortable with him and have an awful feeling from his character, but that's not a reason to exclude him. Some people are given a lot more room (*cough* Hughie */cough*) to be assholes but for Jason all it takes is one comment... I just don't see him deserving a crucifixion is all.

I think Jayne felt very similar to Jason the first weeks in the house.

Another great post from you Maru.
