It takes balls simply because Lateysha was very popular with a majority of the house. Jason clearly knew that. Hence the immediate fall out, after he evicted her.

He had to evict someone! He picked someone he doesn't like. Fair enough - but hardly hero material! Lots of them are popular in the house, in their own way. Jason and Andy are very popular themselves! Being popular in the house isn't a crime in itself.

In tonights HL's they were listing off the cool people in the house. Jason, Andy, Alex, Jackson....

To answer the OP Jason has left a deep groove in that seat at the smoking area. What I call "his office".

Which housemate/s. Would have created a greater overall fallout and reaction by other housemates. ? If Jason evicted them instead of Lateysha.

Well you said that you thought it hilarious that Jason was getting so much praise for pushing a button faster than three other people and so I was just letting you know that he wasn't getting praise for that. As for evicting Lateysha meaning he has balls, are you watching the show? If you are you will know that it was supposed to be Jason out next and Jayne otherwise. Even Jayne said that Jason should have picked her The reaction to him ejecting Lateysha was testament to all of that.

The praise for Jason booting out Lateysha is NOT coming solely from people that didn't like her, that is simply not true. I didn't mind her and actually wanted Ryan, Alex or Jackson gone but I still think he made a bold and exciting move as far as the show is concerned.

As for him being a 'massive master game player' that is the opinion of 1 person and so is hardly something that needs to be defended or explained at all. However there is excitement at what he did and that is because it seemed that we were going down a dull route of booting out all the oldies and keeping in some of the odious young ones. Jason broke the back of that so it is obvious why he is being praised and lauded.

If Jackson had evicted Lateysha... He was only a split second behind Jason.

If.. we don't who he would have evicted.

That wasn't what jp asked though and anyway Jackson would have evicted Jayne as anyone who watches the show knows.

Trevor seems to know.... guess he can read Jackson's mind.

It was.

Bit in bold - see, I just don't get that. The whole thing was set up by production for a shock eviction. Whatever had happened, it would have caused a stir. Whoever did it, they would have got grief. Lateysha's popular in other places, but not on here. So the euphoric reaction - particularly contrasted with the outrage at the unfairness of Chelsea's eviction - was very amusing from where I was sitting.

Interesting that you think getting rid of the oldies is the 'dull' route as I think 'dull' is the ideal world to describe Jason. And I'm speaking as someone who wanted Jason to be a great hm. I really liked him at the very beginning and felt incredibly bad for him when he had to deal with Charlie. But there's just nothing there. Just a sour, anxious housemate who seems constantly at edge and has no sense of humour and has never let his guard down in there. Apart, maybe, from the time he briefly lost his temper in the DR.

It wasn't.

And none of us can read minds this isn't the twilight zone...

Or if Hughie had evicted Jackson; or if Laura had evicted Alex. There are a number of possibilities.

Yes there are. But it is the only thing Jason can be lifted up with. Otherwise he's just been sitting on that chair, bitching about others, colluding on nominations, moaning and playing the victim. I've never liked his poor me act.

He got indignant about being nominated, called a group meeting to chastise the whole house about it.

Charlie definitely has issues but that didn't make Jason more interesting or sympathetic to me.

The point is....

Jason evicted the housemate that he knew would cause the biggest fallout and reaction for him. Towards HIM....

That's where it took balls part comes from.

The other housemates reaction told the story also... No wayyy did he just do that!

He asked what would have caused a bigger reaction. Well IMO Jackson nominating Lateysha would have. You claim to know he'd have chosen Jayne but you simply can't know. The guy backtracks more than anyone else in that house. I wouldn't put it past him to do that.

He did Laura and he's way closer to Laura than he's ever been to Ryan.

Read post 40. lol

What do you mean it was all set up by production for a shock eviction I'm sure they would like it but I have no idea how it was set up by them. As for whatever happened it would cause a stir, it just seems to me you're doing your best to down play things which is fair enough but makes a discussion here difficult. If you either don't know or can't accept that booting out Lateysha was a shock move for the House and us then clearly I can't convince you otherwise.

As for Jason being dull I'm not arguing, what I am saying is that getting rid of the oldies was going down a dull and boring route because it was all planned out and agreed by Jayne herself even. Sometimes it is just about shaking things up and not allowing what the majority of the HMs want, well it is for me anyway.

He got the rather sad, pathetic, attention seeking, fish face out and for that many are truly thankful

On that one. Jackson wouldn't have the balls to have evicted Lateysha is my call. Well I guess he could have spent a week crying about it, trying to make up for it. lol

No the point is it's no big whoop. He got to the button first and he evicted the person he was told the day before by bb's poll to evict. If he had balls he wouldn't have lied first about the money, he wanted the money. Then he lied about the reason, he never got on with her... something his minions used in the last one that saw Ryan out the door.

He evicted 'Tesha because BB told them she was going to win. I can totally see Jackson evicting "Tesha had he been first. They both really really really want to win. At least Jackson sometimes enjoys the experience as well. Jason never does. He's joyless.

Well of course it was! The whole week has been set up to cause shocks and arguments! Jeez...........

They offered them 20k - which was going to be removed anyway (v. important, that) and told them they'd have to evict someone to get it and ensure their own safety. It's not like Jason went around getting people to reevaluate Lateysha and influencing people to nominate her. Now THAT would have been impressive and I would have been leading the praise myself.

You get me.

Read jp's post above. He is asking which HM evicted by Jason would have created a bigger reaction by the HMs. Your answer is that JACKSON evicting Lateysha would have but as I said that isn't what jp asked


Like properly reading posts on here I feel like I'm the only one properly watching the show Jackson would NEVER have evicted Lateysha and if you properly watched the show you would know that too

Any poll is irrelevant we are talking about in-house reaction here. Well I am at least. No he was more interested in stopping himself from being on the chopping block and evicted as he explained. So he got in there first! Simple as that. Pressed first.
