He has a daughter, paytments on a car to pay, a mortgage to pay (probably)...

So when these idiots say "He doesn't need the money" HOW THE F DO U KNOW THAT?! The guy is wealthy, yes, but he's not a millionaire! He's not got an endless pot of money like freaking Richard Branson. What gives them the right to say he "already has enough money"

OP, what possible strategic benefit could there be for him now?

I am hoping Jason gets loud cheers tonight - it will boil the housemates brains!

Me too.

Like everybody else, you have no idea what he plans to do with the money. BB contestants in previous shows have pledged to share money with others in the house and have done no such thing when evicted.

It's not such a stretch to suggest that these 'generous' individuals do it for their own ends.

You tell me why you think he should share it, because ....

1) These people are not very nice with him and nom him left right and centre.

2) It's a gameshow.

It would indeed. Sam however, would look exactly as he ALWAYS does >

Don't forget Laura 😮

I'd like to see this too but my pessimistic side is telling me the crowd will be full of Queen Lateysha fans. I will be ecstatic if I'm proven wrong though. Talk about shaking them up!

I like Jason and Andy....The only two normal/sensible people in there IMO.....and...why should he give his money away !!.....He's a business man....I doubt if he's made his money by 'giving money away to strangers'....which is what they are....None of them will give each other a 2nd thought after they leave.....

listen before your try and quote - not because of the money is very different to not wanting it. People seem to forget it is a game, no one cares if they do over another person - I was glad he choose who he did - I hate it that some think they are 'too good' to be evicted but it would have been okay if it were laura or jane.

I really wish he would have asked those hysterical idiots shouting in his face after he voted Lateysha out, one by one, if they would have preferred him to have voted them out. I imagine the silence would have been deafening.

Oh I think a few of them, after the fact, would have offered themselves up as the sacrificial lamb 😉

ETA Same as they would share the money 😉

It is hard not to play the 'I wish he'd said game' isn't it? When I was watching it I ended up picturing a whole scenario I'd have done if I was Jason. Firstly I will have looked upset by the kangaroo court... then I would have slinked off to the diary room... then I would have come out again looking a bit happier and I would have told Hughie, Sam and Ryan and I need to speak to them privately in the 'pebble room'...

...off to the pebble room we'd all go. I'd sit them down and I'd say, "Look. You guys were right. So I've told Big Brother I want to change my vote and they've agreed to let me. But only if I agree to give Lateysha the 20 grand. Which I have said I will do. But now in order for me to do that I have to select someone else. You three are clearly very passionate about it and you made a great argument so... Which one of you would like to go?"

He said many times it was to help someone else.

Brilliant! (so long as Lateysha stayed evicted

Brilliant ... just brilliant!

He has said a couple of times "this will help somebody" - maybe he has a destination in mind. He won it it is up to him what he does with it.

That IS Jason's honesty. As someone else pointed out, if the button had been simply for immunity Jason would still have pressed. You cannot speak for Jason.

Better still BB has said she can come back but I have to select 3 to go and guess what...!

That's good then because that is what he has achieved. GO JASON!

Your point being?

.............

He observes and thinks about his next move.

Just to be clear, unlike the £5K each task, picking the £20K was not going to make the winner's prize fund any smaller. BB said that the £20K would be coming out of the prize fund regardless of whether anyone pushed the button or not.

There was no ethical dilemma on taking the money on that occasion. The only reason not to go for the money is if you felt unable to be responsible for evicting someone. However, the way I see it, even if you didn't feel like a prime target as Jason did, it would still be worth going for the button to try to ensure that someone you liked and didn't want to go wasn't evicted. The only way to be sure that someone who you didn't mind being evicted was evicted was to go for the button. It was a no-brainer, really. I'm surprised more people didn't go for it!




He said that the money would "do some good". Which implies that he has someone in mind for it. I don't think he's going to be selfish with it.

I think, in choosing Lateysha that he was acting the opposite of tactical. He knew he would make enemies of the house, perhaps even the public, but he didn't feel comfortable evicting somebody he had no real problem with when there was one person in the house who he had never got on with from the start. He made the brave choice and, even if I'd liked Lateysha (and I wasn't that keen), I would not have held it against him.
