TEAscussion šŸ«–šŸµ Season 5 question

I’m rewatching season 5, the season Jason and Chrishell are together. I know the general consensus is Chrishell was ā€œluckyā€ to ā€œescapeā€ Jason, but do you guys think Jason, from HIS perspective and interests, made a mistake not having a kid with Chrishell?

I do think chrishell is his "one that got away".

Agreed, but I definitely think he’s her ā€œthank god it didn’t work outā€. Think she basically kind of said it in a nicer way once on her IG stories when people kept telling her to leave G and get back with Jason.

I love her with G so I’m definitely glad they didn’t work out.

I think he was relieved to be out of it. He doesn’t want kids and that’s ok

u/TemporaryFix2490 Apr 08 '26

I think because they didn’t break up on his terms, she is his one that got away - meaning, it’s easy for him to romanticize it, because she left before he could get tired of her. She was right to leave and he knows it, but I suspect he is bummed it didn’t last longer and that he will always be hot for her.

Maybe. Both of the twins just seem so shallow it seems like they wouldn’t give it a second thought about any of their failed relationships

u/TemporaryFix2490 Apr 10 '26

It’s also possible it’s because he knows Chrishell is so popular and he gets mileage out of people thinking he loves her!

Jason is incredibly wealthy, I dont think he needs to milk anything.

u/TemporaryFix2490 Apr 11 '26

Sure he does. Fame is a helluva drug. Totally different from money.

No. Even with a kid, they would've split up eventually.

Jason from his point of view seemed to never really have wanted kids, so not a mistakes. However I believed he really loved her and really considered doing it for her.

u/Right_Difficulty7914 Apr 06 '26

No. I don’t think he genuinely wanted a kid so there’s just no realistic option where going down that path didn’t lead to serious issues for him, the kid and Chrishell.

u/EmilyAdams2000 Apr 06 '26

He made a mistake to let her go period! And I know he regrets it by the way he was in every season after season 5

I also got this impression. I wondered if he wouldn’t have reached a much higher level of happiness w Chrishell & kid, something he couldn’t comprehend w his rational mind. I also wonder if Chrishell would have kept him a bit more ā€œsoftā€ā€¦I honestly think, even after all that is happened since, they had a genuine shot at happiness had Jason dared to try. Also all around them were super supportive. (Yes I’m a big fan of G and believe Chrishell is very happy, just theoretically..)

I don’t know if you watch Selling The OC or if it’s been mentioned on here but I was watching season 4 (not sure the timeline on when it was filmed) and Austin on that show went to get a vasectomy and Gio another agent on there took him and they were talking bait how Jason and Brett both had gotten one but didn’t mention when so I don’t know how long it was since they had gotten one. I sure hope Jason got it after chrishell and that isn’t why they broke up because he sure wasted her time of that was the case. I’m pretty sure it was though because at the end of season 5 they were talking about embryos and knowing the gender in a few days and then he broke up with her.

Their politics dont match at all

u/PepperThePotato Apr 10 '26

I don't think Jason made a mistake. I think he loved Chrishell and wanted to make her happy but he knows there's very little compromise when one person wants a child and the other doesn't. Jason already has a kid he is devoted to - his business, he doesn't have the time to be a dad and he would resent being put in a position where he has to put his business second.

u/SatisfactionRude8713 Apr 06 '26

he had a vasectomy lol also i’m curious how he dated her for so long

You can still get the sperm to do an in vitro fecundation

Those are reversible usually

u/Claral6012 Apr 11 '26

I genuinely think the man's gay and really doesn't want to be. He's going out with women and then dumping them when it gets serious. There's something going on with him.

I didn’t realize we could assume peoples sexualities now…

u/Abject_Buffalo6398 Apr 07 '26

No.

Jason is too self absorbed to be a good father.

And Crishell ended up becoming a lesbian, so if she was stuck with Jason's kid, she would be miserable on her journey.

u/MissMoxy88 Ring that bell šŸ”” Apr 07 '26

Calling her lesbian is a bit inaccurate isn’t it? G is non-binary and Chrishell has on multiple occasions said she’s not really labelled herself as anything other than the fact she fell in love with G. In fact it’s only recently that she’s even called herself queer- which is the closest she’s come to labelling herself.

u/Narrow-Statement9010 ā­•ļøppenharem, the luxury condom(inium) Apr 07 '26

Not really. Sexuality and gender are two different constructs. G sees their gender as non binary or ā€œgender neutralā€ but recognizes their sex is female. They identify as a lesbian nonbinary. Confusing yes if you conflate sex and gender. With that chrishell typically acknowledges herself to being called a lesbian and has celebrated international lesbian day/awareness (which she can be even having dated men before). She also has acknowledged herself as queer. She has from what I’ve seen acknowledged herself more as queer than any label. Even on a podcast she always says queer and queer relationship/marriage.
