Jason Ross, the unemployed, recovering drug addict, has become the first person to be voted off Castaway 2007.

The Castaway’s were asked to vote for the person who had gotten the LEAST out of their Castaway experience, they had a week to consider their decision.

The group was split, with everyone voting for either Jonathan or Jason. However in the final vote, Lucinda changed her mind at the last minute, changing the final result and sending Jason home.

The relief in our living room was palpable. Both hubby and I agree that Jonathan should remain in Castaway until the last week. I wouldn’t want to live with him, but he is interesting to watch, he makes great TV!

After being sent into isolation for a whole week, BBC has reported today that unemployed, Kent man, Jason Ross is at the end of his tether and wondering if he can cope with his new situation.

The Castaway website reports:

All he wants is to “get off this damn island”. The wind is starting to kick in, he’s pulled up the door to his shack but it’s still desperately miserable and getting worse.

Can’t say that I blame Jason. Being alone for a long period of time is bad enough, but when you are confined to a run down shack in the middle of a storm that just keeps getting worse, I can’t imagine that optimism would be easy.

Today on Danny’s TV Diary you can see Jonathan Shearer on the warpath.

He knows there is a traitor (or two) in their midst, and can’t believe that after the group agreed not to vote for the person who had contributed least, many cracked and many voted for Jason Ross. Jason has now been sent into isolation for a week and his mate is FURIOUS!

The first person to incur his wrath was Alister Cooling the fantasy writer. Alister stupidly admitted to Jonathan that he didn’t crack under pressure but simply wanted to nominate Jason as he believed it was the right thing to do.

Bad move. We have already seen how Jonathan can hold a grudge, and this is now escalating into a major grudge. Jonathan has now branded Al as group traitor, leaving all those who similarly voted for Jason quaking in their boots…..Makes great TV doesn’t it!

Motto: “Don’t take life for granted but live it to the full.”

Currently unemployed and a recovering drug and alcohol addict, Jason has been clean for 18 months. He moved from London to Kent and is hoping to become an addiction counselor when he returns from Castaway.

A devoted father to his seven year old son, Jason admits that his ambition in life is to be a good role model for his son.

Jason is a qualified carpenter and joiner and he admits that he could build shelter if needed, which would stand him in good favour with his fellow castaways.

As much as Jason is keen to throw himself into island life, he does confess that he will struggle to live without his hair clippers, razor and food. he says that he can be quite greedy where food is concerned and lists the shortage of it as one of his biggest fears.
