Jason's 'head' WAS 'on the chopping block' - as he rightfully said - and he did the tactically only thing which he could do to remove the ring leader of the clique which plotted against him.

He said immediately upon pressing the button, that it was NOT for the money (which EVERYONE agrees he does NOT need) and that it was tactical, so where the justification is for anyone to accuse him of 'bottling it' inside the bedroom, I do not know.

No one's financial status should be a factor, because this is a 'game show' not a Charity', so all the FAKE weeping and wailing by the others in her clique that "she is skint", "has a baby", blah di blah, di blah, is pure irrelevant B.S. which is embarrassing.

Do the contestants personal circumstances count on 'The Chase', 'Fifteen To One', or 'Tipping Point'?

Bradley Walsh: "Oh you got that one wrong love, but you're boracic lint, so we'll let you off".

On the subject of Lateysha's personal circumstances; there are thousands of single mothers who are struggling to bring children up, but THEY have not had the good fortune to have been regulars on a long running, 'Reality' TV Show like 'The Valleys' or been able to enjoy all the additional income and perks from lucrative 'spin-off' jobs which are a consequence of it.

And let's be REAL here.

It is hard for ANYONE who takes the heartbreaking decision to leave their kids for up to 12 weeks or so, to go 'working away from home' in order to earn much needed money - I KNOW, because I've done so myself, many times - but leaving one's kids to take part in Big Brother is NOWHERE near the same thing.

Big Brother is NOTHING more than a gamble. A gamble which vain and egotistical 'Fame and Fortune' seekers take in the HOPE that it pays off for them. The 'WINNER' takes it all, and the losers get NOTHING - unless they have that 'stage presence' and the type of personality which wins over the public so that despite 'losing', success comes to them anyway, simply through gaining exposure on National TV.

Unfortunately, Lateysha has already had YEARS of exposure on a 'National TV Show' and THAT has been NO guarantor of success or - it would seem - financial security.

So Lateysha entered BB wholly believing that she would WIN it - as she admitted after being evicted by Jason.

The fact that she has not, is NOT Jason's fault, whether she NEEDED to win it or not.

Jason was doing exactly what all the others are doing - using tactics to try to win a game show.

The fact that he has 'outplayed' the 'players' is NO reason for anyone to start whining now.

Absolutely Bang On
