I have to disagree with you on this Mike.
I watched the video twice and actually took notes the second time.
I do not feel sorry for Jason in any way. He chose to quit and that was his choice. In the video I watched I did not see anyone throwing him under the bus. The other guys were asked a question= Who do you feel did not do as well as or work as hard as the others? ( I paraphrased it because the question was asked 5 times using different words abut it was always the same question). Every model answered Jason. From watching the video 2x I saw what they were referring too. He acted as if he did not want to be there and that he was not interested in what they were doing. At one point he did ask a question about what they were doing (in the warm up section) and Antonio stopped and went through the exercise part by part, if you notice Jason is looking around not watching Antonio explain what they are doing.
I am not here to berate Jason. He signed up for something that he shouldn't have, something that is not his thing. I am sure in life we all have done that. I know I have and I have the clarinet to prove it. After 2 years I gave up on it because I did not have enough spit to keep the reed wet and without a wet reed the sounds the instrument makes can be quite bad.
All of the models were asked who worked the hardest, they all (except Zach) said Zach. That surprised me because if you look at the beginning of the video Zach has alittle flab over the waistline of his shorts. I didn't think he was in that great of shape for being in the military- he proved me wrong. way to go Zach.
You can tell that Junior has been to the gym, just look at him.
Ryan surprised me, I would have thought he would have been leaving with Jason. To me he doesn't seem to be in good shape. He always looks stoned, hopefully he isn't . He gave it his all and finished and seemed to do quite well.
Ben, he is in good shape but does not seem like he hits the gym every day. He held his own and worked hard with the others. He gets the honorable mention for being the most honest during the interview session ( in my opinion) he says what he feels and backs up what he says.
Zach was also very open with his opinions. Cute dog by the way. he works hard and gives it his all.
Antonio says what he felt. He is used to the gym and probably sees this on a daily basis. I do not feel that he berated anyone, especially Jason, in any way. he was asked for his opinion and he gave it. To me his voice does not match the body, he does not seem very loud for being a personal trainer. Every personal trainer I have met seem to be loud.
As for Sha, I do not feel he owes anyone an apology. He did his job- the interviews. He asked them all the same questions and let them express their opinions. I do not feel he was putting words in their mouths or leading them on in any way, he asked the questions and let them respond- that is what an interviewer does. I did not here/ see him "dump" on Jason in any way.
I do not feel sorry for Jason, to me he was not "dumped" on or humiliated in any way. He made the choice to go do this and he made the choice to quit. We did not see the entire footage but their were comments made about an inhaler etc, maybe their was a lot of drama that we are not aware of before he quit, that could be the reason for the models comments toward him. I also do not feel that Jason needed to apologize for what we saw. He went, he tried, he quit, his choice. If their is more to it than we saw than maybe he did need to apologize, only the guys there would know.
Take it from a guy that does not go to the gym and would not know what to do once he got there. I give Jason credit for attempting it. I would have never attempted it. If the guys harassed/picked on him for quitting then shame on them. Not everyone is gym kind of guy, some are more a Jim kind of guy
From a personal experience: I signed up for a 5k a couple of years ago in memory of a loved one that had just passed. Some of my friends were going to do and "peer pressure" got me. I am not a runner and will never be one ( unless being chased by a guy with a knife or gun). I wanted to quit after 1 k but continued. I did finish it but the reason I finished was because my friends 60 something grandmother refused to quit also ( she thought is was so nice that is gave up trying for a decent time to stay back with her and encourage her to finish the race). I have never signed up and will never up again. you can see me working the registration table.
