Too glam to give a damn
|
I think he's an okay winner because I found him to be an okay housemate. I understand the argument that other people brought out the character within Jason as oppose to Jason himself, but he was the centre of many vocal points of the series. He got through the situation with Charlie on his own merit, and he also caused one of the most-talked about and controversial moments of the series in evicting Lateysha.
He may not have been as 'entertaining' as someone like Hughie who took up a larger portion of air-time, but I still think he was an alright housemate in respect of the points I've already mentioned. He doesn't seem to be that bad of a person either, but I suppose that's down to opinion. He played the game but not everyone will repsect how he played it, though I personally think he brought an interesting element of gameplay that is rarely seen on the UK version. |

How did he treat other housemates awfully?....an example would be nice. I would really like to know. He wasn't boring because he got talked about on here an awful lot... Just because he doesnt need the money doesn't mean he doesn't need to win... He said he had never WATCHED the show... |

I agree with OP (good, thoughtful thread btw)
I really liked Jason at first and for much of the show. I think he is probably a decent guy but my opinion of him as a BB HM went downhill over the last few weeks and while i still like him, i agree he was/is not worthy winner material. Here are my reasons: 1. Did very little. Sat out in the garden like a sulky rock. So many times this series other HMs have tried to converse with him and gives nothing back, like talking to a brick wall. 2. He took himself WAY too seriously. I can't remember ever seeing a HM take themselves so seriously as Jason. Anytime he was nominated or chosen in a task (eg - lateysha choosing him as biggest game player) he took it far too personally and became sulky. He was really intimidating to Jackson when Jacko nominated him. Never once did Jason take a step back and see it in perspective as 'all in the game'. 3. No lightness. Way too heavy, like a lead weight around the house and the series. A buzz killer if you like. He sat there brooding with little joy coming from him. The only time he laughed was when Hughie fell in the pool. I wish we'd seen more happy Jason then he'd have been a more deserving winner. 4. The staring look in his eyes. You can see and feel the repressed anger behind him. Uncomfortable to watch. No surprise when he exploded and smashed the BB doors. 5. The whole 'shock' story of him and Charlie who 'just happened' to both apply for BB at the same time without ANY IDEA that the other one was also going to be on the show, even though they were both still half-seeing each other for the months leading up to BB - i don't buy that story one bit. So overall, moody, silent, a bit dodgy, not a great winner in my book. But there seems to be a decent guy in there too, just not a great all round BB character. Winners ideally need to do more to 'deserve' the win IMO. All round characters who reveal themselves in all their good and bad colours and who have a journey in the house, they are the best winners. Jason revealed very little of himself, he treated BB like he was at work, watching the clock, sitting it out, biting his tongue and waiting to collect the cash. Not great TV. Jason is like Sam Evans. Someone who did very little in the house and won more out of sympathy then entertainment and effort. Such is life in the BB world. Takes all sorts. . Last edited by Robodog; 27-07-2016 at 01:19 PM. |

He also needed the help of Charlie, Lateysha and Ryan to do anything that was remotely memorable, and ultimately these three housemates in particular won it for him. He didn't win it off his own merits. |

The Jasons/Sams of BB ride across the river on the backs of entertaining HMs then leap into first place at the last minute. Like Rat, they need others to get them to the finishing line. ps - love that you chose Jayne and Tiffany for your BB faves - me too ! |

Couldn't cause UK foolishly doesn't let Irish people vote. Never got how BB, and even I'm a Celebrity or the X Factor, DON'T let the irish vote. Would you not get more money from that?

Can I get a witness?

What's done is done. Upon reflection Jason winning bears no relevance to how amazing this series was so I don't really care anymore

In some series the most overall entertaining HM wins, such as Brian in BB2 or Josie in BB11 Sometimes the series' best HMs don't even make the final such as Jon Tickle in BB4 or Marcus in BB10 |
