If anyone else has got any better ideas I'm all ears. He's certainly villified by the public enough and should have been outed long ago but he still persists in staying in the house.
I'm sure so sure that Jason still is vilified by the public. There's a definite tradition, within Big Brother of initially annoying people gradually metamorphosing (in the public viewpoint) into 'characters' - if they manage to stay in long enough - and survival, in and of itself, eventually breeds a grudging sort of respect.
Also, I don't think the Spamster's being quite as irritating as he used to be. He's certainly smiling more, and interacting more (in that weird 'sexual chemistry' way, with Dan), and I suspect this may have diminished the public loathing.
The fact that he's made it through to the final four, even after Stuart's eviction (who should get the "I fancy him" little girl vote for sure) makes me question the credibility of everyone's assumption about who has the voting power.
I think Stuart might've stood a chance of attracting the 'fanciable' vote if he'd displayed any sexual charisma whatsoever. He didn't; he came across as oddly sexless, the pretty little boy everyone wants to mother (and, for much of his time in the house, the rag-doll Michelle dragged around behind her) - and that's when his antics even registered. The Big Brother demographic generally isn't "little girl", as far as I'm aware; I was under the impression it was late-teens-to-late-twenties - and this age-group's not as attracted to Non-Threatening Boys. I suspect they might've been a) turned off by his extreme passivity in the tentacles of the Mollusc, and b) his lack of involvement in any of the house's major dramatic conflicts.
I'm certainly not ignoring the fact Nadia is gonna win, by many miles, but who IS voting for Jason to win?
The other two I can just about fathom some plausible reasons but Jason, especially over Stuart's "nice doood" character, and his presence in the house at this stage just confounds me.
I'm not sure. I don't think there's necessarily a single bloc ("bloke", "Scottish") voting uncritically for him. Rather, I reckon people might be hopeful of his providing further conflict, warming to his 'ooh, bitch!' interactions with Dan, appreciate of his having dropped most of the paranoid, isolating Jungle Cats crap, his slow but discernable thawing.

Possibly. Or perhaps they really like the look of Spam. |
