Emotional Jason says Parent Support is "Life Changing"

taspenguin said:
why cant it simply be that after seeing him on tv and receiving the letter that the whole family has decided to support him and show him they accept and love him. maybe they trying to save face, to their friends, instead of looking like nasty uncaring family. I do not for one minute believe any of jasons behaviour has been fake. that was no acting. i hope something very positive comes out of all this for the jason, his partner and his family.

Well said. I agree 100%.

I saw a guy that looked exactly like him behind the parents, assume its his brother.

Yes I noticed his brother too. At least he looked a lot like him, so it could've been him.

But my eyes were on a nicely dressed guy with a bowtie on the very right (who also stood up as Jason's family/friend). He was very attractive. Wonder who he was? :wideyed:

I thought he was the boyfriend, but then it was said that Jason's bf wasn't there...
 
Remember that there are no gay Iranians according to some Iranian politicians.

I just think Jason was an asshole. A lying, gossiping two faced asshole. Not genuine, not kind, not truthful. Just an asshole.

I'm not surprised he's out on his ear. He couldn't even kindle the so called "gay vote". The kitchen manager around here who is gay just dismissed Jason as a media whore with zero gay appeal in general, very early in the series.

I don't know for sure, but he is the first ethnic gay on BB no? Maybe you need to be Anglo-gay to have a real chance. Don't know just speculating.
 
i loved Jason, and thought he was very entertaining, and was genuine to the people he liked and trusted, and i dont think there is one person you could say in that house that hasnt lied to someone else in there. u cannot define someone and judge on the gayness. maybe others were just more popular to the general public. i have gay friends who loved jason. just each to their own

:bored:

Noooooooooooo!! Jason seems like a nice guy.

I think he did like to know everybody's business but he didn't spread it around (well most of the time :p)
 
Jason was anything but an asshole. He was nice, kind and caring. There's a reason why he was not involved in any conflict.

Was he too gossipy? For sure. But we all have our drawbacks, and that was clearly his. Although, very commendable, because he was never nasty about it.

But the reason why he was never involved in any conflict is also the reason why he got evicted. This is the eventual result of someone who sits on the fence and flies under the radar. There is no significant event for neutral viewers to jump on board your bandwagon. You are not the protagonist of any story in the BB house, you are just an extra.
 
His mother reminded me of Shoreh Aghdashloo (looks, but mostly voice and accent).

Look, while family acceptance during coming out is a rite of passage that sometimes never comes to pass, I felt it was a very easy and boring schtick to hang one's hat on as the only gay male in the house (exhibit A: night one when he made it his headline :vomit:). To revive it again with that letter, I found myself rolling my eyes.

Whether his plight is true or not, it won't take from the fact that he was so one-dimensional, he had to fall back on his sexuality and a very typical aspect of it to try and connect with housemates and viewers.
 
well from one Jason fan, i can tell u it wasnt his sexuality that made me connect. it was his sense of fun, his accents and character during staff task, his pranks on house mates, this laugh, his strategic workings with priya or attempts to work the game, his compassionate side to upset housemates, his stance on the cheaters, his dance routine, his singing. so so much more than a few tears and a letter.

I wouldn't consider myself a Jason fan, but never felt any misgivings about him.

It was only when he left the house and had an interview with Sonia, did I realise that, this bloke's just a really nice guy. And first time in a while, I felt disappointed with which housemate had been evicted.

I still think it sucks what he did to his family. Not the time, not the place and a bit of a dog act to embarrass them on national TV. I still think he used them for sympathy and if you believe his brother, the truth is nothing like how he described. He looked decidedly uncomfortable when Sonia bought it up. Regardless of what the truth actually is, whether they do support him or not, it was a shit thing to do to his parents to bring to the attention of the public their private parent/child relationship details on national TV.

Well considering he's living in a house 24/7, he may have just been telling them about his life and didn't even think that it was going to be shown on TV. As Sandra said, they have absolutely no clue what's being shown and what's not, so perhaps Jason thought what he was saying would just be swept under the rug and that's why he was so uncomfortable when Sonia brought it up?

He talked about it and cried, then he wrote the letter for a task, sat in the diary chair, talked about it again, read it and cried again. I would have thought he'd have a pretty good idea it was going to be shown on tv considering that the whole point of the task was pretty obviously to get the hm's crying to get some emotional footage. If he's ever watched the show he'd have to know that stuff like that doesn't get overlooked. I still think he did it fully aware it would get airtime. He threw his family under a bus to out-do everyone else with their "sad stories" as Lisa called them. He did himself a disservice by doing that IMO.

Jake did the same thing and most of them didn't get aired.

Jake probably didn't do a whole "My parents suck" accompanied by floods of tears thing. They were always going to show a gay non-acceptance story, it gets people talking. That's what they want and Jason is not stupid.

His stories had the same amount of tearing up.

As for Jason, well, for every dramatised gay non-acceptance story, I would believe there would be 5 more of actual gay non-acceptance stories that are actually sad.

You know, because those things actually do happen. It's not some concocted storyline created by Big Brother.

I know they actually do happen. I never said they didn't. I'm not arguing that. I'm saying that there is no way Jason could not have been aware of the fact, as with all of the rest of the hm's, that whatever they say inside the house has every likelihood of ending up on TV. That's why they are in there. He would have to have known that there was a pretty high chance that, if he threw his family under a bus, that they were going to see it. The only way to be sure they wouldn't would be to keep his gob shut. I maintain, and always will, that it was a cruel and inconsiderate thing to air grievances that should have been dealt with privately, on national TV. He has potentially embarrassed and damaged both personal lives and careers of the family he says he loves. He has all but labelled his family homophobes. The family had no avenue for defence, when his brother tried to defend them online, his posts were deleted by the production staff. He didn't seriously think the producers were going to let a revelation like that one go? Whether or not he was telling the truth or embellishing, it was a dog thing for him to damage them like that. He signed up to have his private life and opinions aired on national TV - they didn't. He shouldn't have dragged them into his little TV adventure.
