Jason Cowen : The Muscles of Big Brother 5

[CelticMuscle]

Jason's Profile (from the Big Brother website)

What is your plan to survive in the House?
400 wide-arm, wide-leg press-ups and 200 sit-ups - that's my relief.

Have you lived in a house share before? Describe your worst experience of house sharing?
Someone else was shagging in the room next door. My mate was sleeping with a girl and I was gutted as I wasn't shagging anyone.

Who do you think you most resemble from history and why?
Peter Stringfellow - because of the amount of women I've slept with.

What is your greatest fear about going in?
My grooming techniques, worried what the nation will think. Not worried about the housemates because they probably won't see them as I'll do it in the middle of the night. My grooming techniques include shaving my chest, spiking up my fringe, applying St Tropez, shaping my eyebrows - by shaving! And moisturising my face.

What message would you like to send to those who know you?
Don't take me too seriously, enjoy me.

What will most annoy the other housemates about you?
My vanity, or what I like to call my essential maintenance.

What will they love?
My bare ass.

What will most annoy you about the other housemates?
Bitchiness, you have to say things to people's faces. Smoking.

What will you do if you don't win?
I'm just ecstatic to walk through those doors, just to have been chosen. The money will be great but the experience will be better.

What's your biggest secret?
I have one big secret that I'm not prepared to share.

People say they will do anything to win. Where would you draw the line?
Anything that doesn't involve telling lies or that hurts anyone in the process, also wouldn't do anything illegal. I play fair, no underhand tactics.

Tell us a joke.
Q. Would you like a Spanish kiss?
A. What's a Spanish kiss?
Q. It's like a French kiss but a bit further south.

What is your party trick?
Stripping - after a few small sherries I'll go the full monty.

Favourite movie, book or magazine?
Saturday Night Fever - movie. Lord Of The Rings - book. FHM.

What item of clothing could you not live without?
Moisturiser.

Before Big Brother, what was your claim to fame?
I was 'Mr Lanarkshire Best Buttocks' in 1996.

What the heck is "Big Brother"?

RPJ, Big Brother is or was another reality show based on a group of people being couped up in an isolated house for a couple of months. (ex. Gilligan's Island )
They do challenges to win luxuries or privileges. And there are cameras located throughout the house for the watching audience. They also have voting to have people removed from the running and the winner (last person) wins a big pile of cash. (ex. Survivor without the bugs)

I think it's like Real World, but for mainstream TV. I think they make it for almost every nation in the world, but I don't think it's very popular here in the US.

That's correct, but here in the UK, we have the following differences:

Each of the housemates nominate (in secret) two housemates for weekly eviction
Those people nominated for eviction are put to a public vote (25p / 33c a time)
The people with the most votes is evicted

There's a theme this year of "Big Brother goes evil" in that although the prize fund is now ?100,000 ($183,000) for every non completed task, housemates are docked ?10,000 ($18,300), so it is possible that the winner may leave empty handed

I think I learned everything I know about Big Brother from watching Gramme Norton. The only problem is that that is a very indirect way, and it takes BBC America a year to get his shows here. (And yes I do know that Gramme isn't on the BBC in England, but I guess he is British enough for BBCA).

When the housemates asked Jason to do the cooking for supper tonight, none of them expected him to "show off his assets" in the kitchen in quite the way he did.

The winner of the 1996 "Best Bum in South Lanrkshire" wore nothing but a kitchen apron as he served the housemates dinner which drew several admiring looks

(I am having a problem with this new way of attaching pics, namely when I press the manage attachments button, a new window opens but I can't access it. Is there a way of uploading pics using the old method?)

[ottomun6]

Celticmuscle, is there a link to the pic(s) ?
I'm dying to see these award wining bums

Here's a link to Jason. Sounds like something of a narcissist.

Yesterday morning he led the housemates in a cardio / aerobics session and then spent the afternoon sunbathing

He should be: he looks great, he probably enjoys showing off, and we enjoy watching him show off. No harm there. So long as he uses his muscles for good, and not evil.
