Jason is cast-off from Castaway's shores
|
Jason became the first Castaway to be cast-off permanently by his fellow islanders on last night's show on 大象传媒 One.
听
Last week presenter Danny Wallace told the group that they would have to decide which one of them has not been making the most of the Castaway experience. That person would have to leave the following week.
听
Debate about who it should be engulfed the group.
听
Many wanted Jonathan to go due his domineering manner. This Scottish chap is a hard worker, but he can be rather controversial and provocative with his comments and likes to purposely stir things up amongst them.
听
Jason, from Dover, kept urging his fellow Castaways to select him as he felt he was ready to go.
听
Earlier in the series, Danny had posed the same question to them and they'd decided it was Jason who wasn't making the most of the experience.
听
He was then banished to Isolation Beach for several days alone to mull things over. It was something he found very difficult to cope with.

Yesterday the Castaways were summoned to the beach where Danny revealed to them the results of their votes which were given in secret earlier in the day.
听
Initially, the votes were evenly split between both Jonathan and Jason, until Jason actually voted for himself.
听
Allister felt he simply couldn't decide so abstained. Unbeknownst to her, Lucinda then had the deciding vote. She first chose Jonathan then in an immediate change of heart decided that in fact he deserved to stay.
听
So, in the end Jason lost by seven votes to Jonathan's six. If he hadn't voted for himself, Jason would have stayed.
听
Mulling the result he said: "I'm still getting over it but I'm happy."
听
He continued:"I did want to leave initially, then I gave up the campaign."
听
Jonathan, on the other hand, looked relieved to be staying, even though he'd packed a Dick Whittington-style knapsack on a branch in readiness for his name being called.
听
Jason will now be taken on a whirlwind tour of New Zealand for several days and will not be able to speak to his friends and family until he is reunited with them for the first time in five weeks on Castaway Exposed, presented by Richard Bacon on Sunday 1 April on 大象传媒 Three at 10pm.
听
Before the rest of them returned to camp, Danny revealed that there would be a new addition to the group.
听
He suggested they "make the most of it", leading some to believe that perhaps it wouldn't be another person but an animal of some sort...
