Jason was the one who insulted everyone the second he sat down in the chair during the interview- so if they're making the choice based on what will cause the most conflict and ultimately be the most exciting TV show, then they picked right.
My favorite part was when Effie tries to point out the fact that a room of predominantly white men quickly narrowed the field to make the choice end up between four white men (which- c'mon that takes some serious guts to speak up in a situation like that), and got MANSHOUTSPLAINTERUPPTED by Matty D.
As with all the rest of these shows- I'm just tuning in for the tv show and will probably never sit through the actual movie they end up producing. If they make a total trainwreck of a movie that produces a ridiculously dramatic tv show that is completely free of logic and reason, then I am all in!
