As HOH, Jase gives a lesson on how not to act as a first week winner. If you have been following the trend, the people who are winning Big Brother in the United States are not the ones displaying power early on. Lisa from Big Brother 3 is the big exception, as she was HOH the first week AND won the first prize. Still, she was not the Alpha Male and did not have a big target on her head. People did not fear her, and she was not seen as a leader until it was too late. Jase does not have this luxury, as several people have already mentioned him being a threat. Scott, who might as well be conjoined with Jase, is going to suffer the same fate. They both believe they are near locks to win as they count Drew and Michael as comrades, and are so dashing that the ladies will like to keep them around.
Scott, in particular, seems to have little or no redeeming qualities whatsoever. We know he is a pro athlete in a former life(and still believes that entitles him to some lame trends others of us wouldn't touch), but did he have to go on about how he would have been embarrassed if he had lost to a woman and would have voted himself out in shame? I'm not a feminist, but he talks like somebody who had their lacrosse program cut for field hockey thanks to Title IX.
Besides his brashness, Jase isn't that horrible as HOH. He wasn't too mechanical in his delivery of his lines, but he seems to have some have some strange ways to get outrageous as he asked the girls to throw out a pair of panties so the men could stretch them out beyond recognition. Yes folks, we had men in women's underwear in primetime! Will was particularly happy in the thong that Drew sported as everybody got ready for the the luxury competition, featuring the "one and only" chance to get access to the hot tub. With about zero chance that CBS would cover up the salacious hot tub all summer, the houseguests won easily. In celebration, Jase allowed Drew one of his bandanas for the dinner they had won.
Jase apparently thinks that he has the whole thing locked up and he will win HOH every week. It was discovered that the HOH private bedroom also has a private video screen that is tapped into several cameras in the house, making covert communications a little more difficult. Not realizing that there is a chance somebody else might win and stumble upon this revelation, Jase makes Scott and Drew swear not to tell anybody. Some may think that this will change how people scheme, but I believe this is not the case. While the cameras will always be there, that is not to say that the houseguests think of them every minute and contemplate every action on them. If they do, let's hope there is some dopamine nearby. There are times when people will forget they are being watched, as Drew excitedly exclaimed while watching Diane take something from the fridge.
During nominations, Jase surprised nobody as he nominated Jennifer and Mike, the painter from Michigan. Mike was nominated because he vocalized what everybody was thinking - Jase and Scott are too powerful together, and was so victimized. Jase, who calls anybody who can figure out the Tuesday Jumble a "gamer" wanted to nip this action in the bud before things got out of hand. Like I said earlier before, I believe this bullying won't get him far, and he will be nominated as soon as he, Scott, Drew or Michael fail to win HOH. We'll have to wait until the veto episode before we handicap odds, but it seems that nobody will save either of the evicted, and that includes Michael saving his sister. Until then, I say Mike is going to be in for a tough week, because I am sure the current block of hunks+cowboy(or as Jase calls it,"The Four Horsemen") will vote for him and will get at least Marvin to vote him. The others, not wanting to break from their masters' grip this early, will go along with the plan.
