For sheer amount of **** thrown at them INSIDE the house though...not taking into account everything else, I don't recall anyone else who has had it as tough as Jason.

I said in another thread its kinda like the producers are standing back constantly prodding him with a large stick in the hope he will eventually snap...

They will keep doing it until the end of the show. It's a disgrace!

you know what it reminds me of? a shackled big old bear being jabbed with electric cattle prods to make it dance for the crowd's entertainment ... and always in the background there's that obscene frisson of fear that the bear might break his bonds and run amock

Good analogy tbh. I think Jason himself sees this too which is why tonight he was blocking the cameras, and previously when its all got too much he has refused to stand in view of the cameras.

I don't understand why they would want to do this though? Punishment for evicting the favourite to win maybe? It can't be that though as if they were that bothered they would have made up a twist to bring her back. His refusal to play along with their matchmaking with him and Charlie maybe? Just for the fun of it?

Hell I like the guy but I don't support him as such and don't think he would be the best winner (he is my 4th, behind Andy, jayne, Hughie) but I can see they are just taking the piss out of him and can't imagine how he actually feels, or his fans tbh

when I went back and rewatched BB12 last summer (god knows why I did that, but that's besides the point), I made a point to watch BOTS to see if Aaron really was mistreated like myth says and I didn't really see anything outrageous at all lmfao. They bent over backwards to justify the Maisy kiss because Faye should have done something if she actually liked Aaron (even though she already took him on a date and pretty much told him that she likes him), and the studio audience that supposedly had it out for Aaron every single day erupted into cheers and applause when they phoned his brother and he trashed Jem and said she's to blame for everything. The entire final week of BOTS was pretty much people saying that they don't even want to express any thoughts on Aaron that could be perceived as negative because it's just easier to not say anything than deal with the backlash from his fans.

I don't know, maybe some substance is lost when you rewatch a series but I found nothing unfair about how Aaron was treated.

From memory, the BOTs treatment was ridiculous. The only thing that stands out to me now though as it was a while ago was that Nicola Mclean woman going on about how he was an abusive spouse..and being encouraged to carry on...there was more than that as I remember actually stopping watching BOTs due to the bias. It didn't start immediately, it was in the last 4/5 weeks IIRC..or when it became clear he was massively popular among viewers.

How is he threatening their favourite? If anything, all this drama surrounding Jason is more likely to get him closer to Hughie in the vote than hurt his chances.

It's like people saying the producers were picking on Helen in the final week, when anyone with sense could see she was more likely to win as a result of everything that was going on.

But the producers don't see it like that. They think he will lose popularity. In fact this is gaining him popularity, because everyone can see they're singling him out to make him crack.

Nonsense. The producers know full well, having been producing the show for years, that in a vote to win, what boosts your chances is people watching being sympathetic to you. That's how Helen managed to win the final week when Ashleigh was a near certainty to win.

In fact this is gaining him popularity, because everyone can see they're singling him out to make him crack.

Yes, exactly my point. Jason's chances have been increased because of all this. But rather than acknowledge that the producers have helped his chances by "picking" on him, you prefer to believe the producers (who probably know him and recruited him on to the show) are working against him because he's a threat to their favourites and it's had the opposite result. You're naive if you think that. The producers know full well his chances are helped by all this.

I found it upsetting to watch and I almost cried, it has sickened me the way he was bombarded for over 2 hours by the losers that returned to the house. Andy was spot on when he said that some in the room changed back to the pricks they were when Lateysha was in the house .

If I'd been in that room with them I'd would of got up and hugged him. To think he smiled when she first came in

they have no brain. this could actually cause jason to win. that is if he doesn't walk out

[RhysJones]

How many threads about jason being 'bullied' by bb do we need?

Oh at least another 250 before we catch up with amount of threads that said Queeeeeen Lateysha was robbed.

matched with Jason is soooo strong and manly...which is it?

They want him to win underdogs always do well .,simples, they already gave him 20k when he didn't hit the button first in the task and now this, they invited him on the show and told him they would manipulate it for him to win, a Hughie/Jason final 2 would be a money spinner for the programme

[EspeonBB]

I think the task would've helped him actually. He gets sympathy votes from people who feel he is 'bullied' or 'picked on'

[hot2go]

If BB cause a man as principled and respected to break down on national tele there will be a massive reaction from the public....the grown ups in this country do not want to see a good guy broken for some kind if blood sport....channel five should be ashamed of what they're doing for wherever bizarre reason they seem to have

The only person I can think of that came close is Dexter he got s**t from everyone in his year

He as robbed that year. Should have won

[eve88]

That was horrible to witness. I really felt for Jason. Charlie is vile. And only last week she was saying she loved him. Ryan and Lateysha were also disgusting. It was a witch hunt in that court room. Not nice at all

[Beso]

Oh what a bloody shame, poor Jason.

So his ex goes in with him then comes back to tell some home truths....

That's it, that's all the bad stuff he has had thrown at him..compare that to Andy who has had a much harder time than Jason yet he handles himself like a proper man....not like Jason who smashes up stuff and threatens to explode (the wrong way) but is still allowed to remain in the house....yeah,bb is really picking on Jason..
