(Somebody should remind Hughie, BTW, that he wasn't the only one to pick Ryan). The other HMs had the right to be upset that Lateysha, a friend of theirs was going, but not to react as strongly as they did, saying things like it was the wrong decision and that he would be next, which completely showed how self-entitled they were. Why should he have to accept people throwing their toys out of the pram and being unfairly spoken to like that?
He has had so much constant stick from them. He doesn't like confrontation and as a result, he is understandably feeling down, as would a lot of people. I too don't like confrontation and if I was in his shoes, I would be feeling exactly the same. As I have previously said on this forum, if he had picked someone like Jayne, who was seen as an easy target, then they wouldn't have reacted the way they did. In their eyes, it would have been okay for her to go, but not for Lateysha, and they wouldn't have been like how they have been with him, and Jason wouldn't be feeling the way he is.”
Excellent post and sums up my feelings exactly. He didn't get much of a break post Charlie to all the rest of it and the way some of them reacted you would think he had condemned L & R to the gallows. Completely out of all proportion and he got very little understanding. Even if they didn't think he had no right to evict L or R, they were still happy to go along with him being scapegoated as the villain of the house - so they can hide in the background for longer and cast themselves as nicer people, in their eyes, to the viewing public; However I think it is how people react to things that often shows their true colours. I thought Chelsea was a buffoon but he at least could take his eviction by the others with some grace.
L & R both showed themseves to be petty and small minded, Hughie who I did quite like has gone way down with his petulant self-rightousness in not speaking to Jason and saying that Jason did not 'deserve' to be in the house. Sam is a boring ar*e licker who has been happy to go with the group thinking, Jayne is like a dog with a bone although kinder than some; Laura and Evelyn both seem too self absorbed to care. Alex has gone up in my estimantion because he has at least tried to be a friend and Andy as well. It is the little things that make the difference.
I like Jason really because of what he is not rather than what he is and that makes him one of the nicer people in a house where nobody is a scintillating personality.
