I hail from a large family and was raised in an era when cooking, cleaning, washing and ironing were not the exclusive preserves of women.
My wife works and I am semi-retired, so I do most of the cooking and cleaning in our household. But then again, I ALWAYS have done, and I enjoy it, and dare say, that I am BETTER at both than my wife anyway (not that she can't cook and does not clean  )
My point is; If I went into the 'BB House' and, being a man who is a good cook and efficient cleaner, and who ENJOYS doing both, would I be hailed as a 'Game Player' by moronic wastes of oxygen such as Ryan the Rat Boy?
The difference between myself and the lovely Jason is; I would not give a toss WHAT insignificant airhead fakes like loser Ryan thought, and I would tell him so in NO uncertain fashion.
But then, poor maligned Jason is too much of a gentleman to do that. |
It's so funny how that type of mentality is treated between genders. For me it's a matter of self-pride. I come from a southern US family with strong personalities (especially the 'matriarch' side) . My grandmother had 7 siblings and 4 are female so historically large families. We are mostly nurturing types and very much enjoy the cooking, cleaning and preparation aspect of making a social and inviting home. It's also to some extent an extension of southern hospitality. I'm a bit an obsessive organizer as well and need an organized space. I'm going nuts right now that I moved into my house over a year and still yet don't have places to store all my misc
things... I notice it every time I enter my office
God forbid I ever were in that house, I'd clean with a vengeance because it's a matter of stubborn pride as well as creating comfort and wellness for wellness. I guess I'm a little like Emma's heightened sensitivity level to negative conversations. Of course, all things in balancet I can stand some "filth" and clutter, but there needs to be a purge of things regularly so that at least the mess is contained to places that would naturally be cluttered or "messy" at times.
When you're stuck in an environment with 15-19 other people I imagine that urge to purge will be further exacerbated if you're a neat freak. Though really, how hard is it to at least clean the bedroom? At least vacuum?
Even worse, millions of people watching the program and seeing you lying on bed next to used underwear and beverages...
eww no
I guess Jason from his tough man exterior and his 'cool as a cucumber' persona they play it as if it is actually quite beneath him to clean since rich people apparently don't clean. So they can mull over the question of whether he's there just "play the game".
Really... it's just that Jackson can be quite the diva in his own way and he expects that the "nice straight man" spotlight constantly be on him. Without Georgina or other people to faux "submit" to, we're seeing more of his actual character. For example, he doesn't really
bitch per say about the Ryan and Hughies of the house because on some level he thinks he's actually a better person than them. You hear him talking about himself a lot of times, about his "son" and how he is "the nicest guy you've ever met"... it's actually rude because if you listen to him, it sounds like he's saying "well I'm actually better than you, so of course you would think that, you don't see how awesome that makes me"...
I read somewhere he may have/had an addiction. We have an addict in our family who is very similar to Jackson... he is socially immature and child-like response to things going on around him... he will give away tons of work, praise and contribution "for free", but will never let you forget it and then sometimes expects "payment" in the form of peer recognition and has no problem accepting "handouts" or large sums of money as well... it's quite infuriating when a grown man does it. Jackson seems to be shades of this person, or at least like a lower-level version of the that "living on the edge of materially impoverished, but the soul is forever rich for it" persona... it's all great on paper until you realize that for everything that person does, there's usually a price, whether you like it or not... you're bound to them and to some degree, responsible for their emotionally well-being and can never question their image... in their logic
Jason doesn't do things to expect emotional or physical payment and because this is the way Jackson's world works he is suspicious. Tells you more about Jackson really than Jason...
Alex,
ty for the great post 
I agree completely
It's not a decision I agree with and and he also evicted one of my other favorites in the house. I wanted to see her make it until the final... I'm not a big fan of playing rough and I had higher hopes for him for him maybe doing a Jayne and seeing role reversal in the house. Instead now his potential for me is lost and we are stuck with ****ty cut scenes of him chatting with the evil villain Andy 
), so it will keep the show interesting until the finale.
it was delicious!
