Key Points:
- A calm but tense chat played out on Sunday night. Both housemates tried to reset their bond.
- Dede pushed for a talk and clear next steps. Jason said he felt drained and must step back.
- She asked for a hug to heal the mood. After a pause, he said “no”.
Two close housemates took time to talk. The room felt still for long minutes. Voices stayed low, yet the words hit hard. Fans watched a bond twist and turn.

They spoke on pace, care, and trust. He feared their link might hurt him soon. She feared silence would break them apart. Each wanted peace, but in different ways.
Dede pushes for a talk
She led with a firm, warm tone. “We just have to,” Dede told him. “If we don’t talk, we won’t align.” She added a soft laugh to ease things.
Then she joked that it felt like a split. “It’s not you, it’s me,” she teased. “I need time off,” she added, still smiling. “What do you want? What do you need?”
Jason asks for room and care
He kept his voice calm and clear. “What I need does not matter,” he said. “I don’t have it in me to fight,” he added. “I’ll just make the needed tweaks.”
He said he wished to detach a bit. “What we have is cool,” he noted. “But I’m close to a point it affects me.” He also spoke on friends and lines.
“You say you owe no one words,” he said. “That does not work for me as friends,” he added. “If we are friends, we act like friends.” “I learn hard how to set hopes.”
Dede asked him to spell out his needs. “What are your hopes?” she asked. He opened up on stress and long days. “There are times I need you,” he said.
“I need a friend when life feels much,” he shared. “I go to bed and hope you check on me.” “Maybe you come in and say hi,” he added. “Many nights I just lie there, awake.”
He said chats with others felt quite thin. “Who am I talking to, Sultana, Gigi?” he asked. “Those chats no pass gist,” he explained. “I built with you what I built with no one.”
Hug test ends with a ‘no’
She tried to mend it with one small ask. “Do you want a hug?” Dede said. He paused and asked to come back later. She pressed, “Yes or no?”
After a long beat, he chose “no.” The talk ended with lines drawn clear. Both sides still want calm, yet on terms. Viewers will watch what comes next.
Previously, ValidUpdates covered the “bed kiss” row between Dede and Jason Jae. Dede blasted him for “staying on a bed and kissing someone,” calling it “so weird” and “cringe,” while Jason denied there was any “thing” and said the moment was misread.
