Craziness. Every time you look at him, it looks like his head is going to explode with barely concealed anger. Before Charlie said those things about him in her eviction interview, that was already my perception of Jason. Just because she is a crappy, insecure, damaged woman, it doesn't mean she isn't telling the truth about Jason. And the argument about her saying those things and still wanting him negating that those things are true is bullshit, because - as Charlie said - we have all been there; where we love someone we know is a ****ing asshole, yet we love them anyway, and know they aren't good for us, but we want them regardless. It's that black and white thinking again that so many adopt when they disagree with someone or their behavior. People forget their common sense and disregard their own experiences in order to justify the narrative that already exists within their heads, robbing themselves of the wider picture.
From the start of the series he's been shifty as all hell. And it has grown as the series has gone on.”
