Jason Hodges dropped from Better Homes and Gardens after 15 years
Landscaper Jason Hodges has been axed from Seven’s lifestyle format Better Homes and Gardens after 15 years with the program, with his last episode airing December 21.
Hodges will be replaced by rival Charlie Albone and garden correspondent Melissa King, with Graham Ross to stay with the program also.
Hodges will appear in a Christmas episode of Better Homes and Gardens on December 21
A Seven spokesperson said the show would bid a ‘fond farewell’ to Hodges.
“Australia’s number one lifestyle program will this week bid a fond farewell to landscaper Jason Hodges,” said the spokesperson.
“Jason joined Better Homes and Gardens in 2005 and has been transforming outdoor spaces and providing expert advice to viewers ever since. Career highlights include his medal-winning garden designs at both the Chelsea Flower Show in London and the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. Jason will now turn his focus to his farming business, Buxus Balls of Berry, and other ventures.”
But that rosy view didn’t seem to be shared by Hodges himself, with the presenter telling the Sydney Morning Herald he was ‘gutted’ to be let go.
‘‘I think of myself as being the luckiest guy in the world, to have had the best job in the world and work with the best team there is … I’d be lying if I said I was not upset but as people in this business know, that’s how it goes,” he was quoted as saying in an interview with the publication.
Seven confirmed the format would return in 2020 with new content.
“Better Homes and Gardens will return in February 2020 with new technology, health and fitness and motoring content, along with all the ideas and inspiration audiences have come to expect from host Johanna Griggs and the team,” said the spokesperson.
Better Homes and Gardens regularly delivers between 400,000 and 500,000 metro viewers for Seven on a Friday, up against Ten’s The Living Room which has been cancelled ahead of 2020 and various programming options from Nine.
What were you thinking channel 7, dropping Jason from the show. Well it’s obvious you weren’t thinking at all. You’ve lost my support from Better Homes and Garden.

I’m very disappointed that you’ve “let Jason Hodges go”.
As far as I’m concerned I mainly watch it for his segment of the show. He makes it fun and everything he does he makes it sound easy to understand. I’ve lived his presentations and sense of humour. I think the programmers have it very wrong to have “let him go”.
Maybe you should rethink your decision.
User ID not verified.
I doubt Our family will be watching better homes and gardens if Jason isn’t in the show as he was one of the reasons We watched the show for his down to earth attitude and the ways he made a job easier .plus not ‘over the top costs of doing a garden for average people ‘ I am sure the other guy is good as I have watched him in the other but he always had a very good budget which most people can’t afford ,also his recycling skills are often lacking .
A bad decision in the long run channel 7 .

I am so sorry to seethe have let Jason go. He is probably one of the most normal presenters on TV I always enjoy his segments with his dog.
Getting to out there, snobby, sadly I would rather not watch perhaps the ratings may show their disproval!

What total disappointment to see Jason leave the programme after so long. He was great, is great. Maybe the people up stairs should rethink and look again. There are others who pretend to work, but don’t. Jason was not afraid to dirty his hands. So from me it is a sad good bye Janson. Cheerio. BHG.

I can’t believe that seven network has let Jason go from the better homes and gardens show. I have always enjoyed his segments each week and now I may be watching the living room on the win network instead. You have let go a very knowledgeable and important member of the team.

I was very angry when you dumped Rob Parmer when he did a fab job and now you get rid of Jason and keep Graham Ross who is very tired and you guys are the ones that supply the content and script.
Would like to say a few more choice words !!!

Come you let Jason go? He was very much a face of Better Homes and Gardens. Have been watching him for 15 years.

Jason was the only reason I watched Better Homes and Gardens. His segments were always interesting, unlike Graham Ross who all he seems to do is stick things in pots… keep Jason and retire Graham Ross please.

Loved Jason’s segments. So down to earth, so friendly and he spoke to the man in the street. No snobbery and it was obvious he was a real family man. I’m sick of all the cooking on this show and now this has just put the nail in the coffin for me. Good bye BH&G

Sorry Channel 7 .. Of course realise, I’m not a professional programmer, etc., for a television programme. However, I am a viewer, unfortunately, you have just lost a viewer ..

What are Channel 7 thinking!!!!! Such a lovable character with great energy and ideas. I am not sure motoring and technology fits well under the banner of “Better Homes and Gardens”. Very disappointing.

Totally agree with comments surprised and disappointed at the sacking of Jason. He is probably the most popular team member. His lovable personality and presentation style is very ‘Aussie’. Very laid back but he is knowledgeable and talented. Charlie has no personality. Very good and knowledgeable, but……
These stations have gone crazy.

Very very disappointed that you have let Jason go. This is suppose to be house and gardening. If I want to watch a health or motoring show I would. House and Gardening that is what the show is suppose to be about . I say a fond farewell to this show and I won’t be buying the magazines either. Thanks for nothing whoever thought of this new format. Blahhhh

I’m another viewer totally disappointed by the dismissal of Jason.
He’s talented, funny and definitely a great segment of the show.
I usually fast forward Ross’s segment, he seems to have a lovely time wondering about gardens but I don’t learn anything from him.
I will tune in next year and see what the new show is like.
Dropping Jason diminishes my enthusiasm about it greatly.
If Jason turns up in a rival show I’ll definitely be changing channel!

Like most comments above, I agree that BHG will NOT be the same show without him. He’s funny, charming, natural and real.
Some office boffin that doesn’t know what they’re doing. Probably straight out of uni with no idea of what the viewers want.
This is a lesson in how to destroy a good show.
I won’t be watching again.

I’m extremely disappointed that Jason has been sacked. After Rob Palmer was let go I only watched the show every so often. I don’t think I’ll bother anymore. Jason brought that larrikin feel to the show which made you feel like he was part of your family.

Why?
Jason was doing a great job and held me to the show.
Jason will no doubt succeed in his future endeavours, our loss. I won’t be turning on in 2020. 7 stretched the friendship with the previous departure. And the highlights segment to wish him well was pretty poor.

I have never commented on a television show before but feel compelled to do so. Jason Hodges presents as a knowledgeable, affable down to earth person, as do all the presenters on this show. Channel 7, you have dumped him at your peril. You have gravely underestimated the respect this fellow has garnered in an industry stuffed with overblown egos. I am sure his colleagues will miss him but I’m sure his talent will be snapped up elsewhere. Your loss, 7.

Very disappointed in 7’s decision to let Jason go in favour of Charlie. Jason, a down to earth, genuinely avid gardener bringing humour & a vast amount of knowledge & garden tips to us, the backyard gardeners. As opposed to the most boring Charlie who shows us houses most of us could never afford or ever want to live in, cold, futuristic buildings. You’ve lost me 7. Good luck Jason, will miss you & Danny.

From day one I have watched Jason on BHG his personality is obvious Why on earth do you sack we as viewers enjoy I was disappointed when you sacked Rob Palmer. Except for Jo Griggs there is only a couple of personalities are worthy of watching.

WHY OH WHY would you let Jason go. My husband and I, (who are in our 40’s) love watching BHG. We love our garden and get plenty of tips from Jason. It is one of the easy shows to watch because there is so much other crap on TV. Channel 7, what is wrong with you!! You sack 800 Words and now Jason. Maybe some of us don’t want to watch crappy reality TV, constant sex and murder, especially with a 7 year old in our house. I read you also want to improve the show with technology and motoring rubbish. If the show content changes, good luck keeping the show, we won’t be watching and I’m sure many will follow. GOOD LUCK to you JASON. You’ve done an amazing job and you’re a pleasure to watch. We’ll miss you in our lounge room each week. XX

I can’t believe you would remove one of your most loyal, likeable, knowledgeable and highly regarded members of The Better Homes & Gardens Team. I happened to run into Jason one day on one of my many trips to my local Cessnock Bunnings store and you wouldn’t find a nicer more and laid back Aussie bloke than Jason. I know my wife and I will definitely miss seeing Jase and Danny every Friday night and I have to say, the Producers are making a huge mistake by letting them go. Good luck in your new ventures Jason, we wish you all the best ??

Kudos to ABC for continuing with Gardening Australia. When you are on a good thing, stick to it! After 30 years, still going strong. BHG should take a leaf out of their book….first Rob and now Jason….suicide, 2 of the most likeable characters, gone. Bunnings was my favourite store….ah well, Mitre 10 is reasonably closeby, I will not only not watch BHG again, but I will hit the sponsor in the pocket, to show my dissatisfaction!

The decision to let Jason Hodges go is ridiculous, just like it was to let Rob Palmer go.
Is BHG afraid of the real Aussie guys, who are so loved.
I’m another viewer who is not interested in watching anymore. The presence of Jo is the only redeeming feature now.
Charlie is a very interesting character, however the other new ideas you have do not interest me.

Oh well, i had better look for something else to watch now because the show will not be the same now.

So very disappointed, so sad………you have let one of the best go! And for what?
Not only has BHG lost it’s way, becoming a travel show as well as losing the basics of our homes and gardens. Now you plan to include motoring, technology, health and fitness!
For goodness sake, at least change the name of the show. It will not matter to me, however, as I will no longer be watching the hodge podge you plan. Silly!

Channel Seven you have got it so wrong , stretch your budget , introduce Charlie but keep the Aussie Larrikin Jason , … He is the salt of the earth kind of guy , he feels like family , not many presenters have that presence …
He brings warmth with his caring soul ,belly laughs with his great Aussie humour , he is the word HOME .. in Better Homes & Garden
Please rethink , you have booted Australia in the guts

Poor show Channel 7, what are you thinking! Jason is a great bloke, no pretence and down to earth. His presentation style is so relaxed and nothing is forced, a pleasure to watch. I think dear old Graham needed to be shown the door. I’ll be saying goodbye to BH&G.

I am so disgusted you have dropped Jason Hodges from BHG . I loved his segments and learnt a lot from him. He had a great sense of humour. What the hell has fitness and motoring got to do with homes and gardens. Unbelievable and judging by the comments you obviously don’t take your viewers into consideration. I will no longer watch BHG either.

I think BHG forgets the age of people watching this show, young ones don’t watch whatever the ratings people think, so getting rid of Jason will not help the ratings in fact it will probably hurt the ratings, us middle age/oldies who have been along with the ride with BHG and that included Rob Palmer and Jason, part of the family that we love, silly decision I’d say. Good luck Jason onwards and upwards to bigger and better things.

Who are these people replacing Jason ?l have been watching bh&g since it was first on .l have watched channel seven give us great home and garden improvement shows over the years and also fantastic Australian drama only to see them either axed or shredded to pieces and not worth watching.The channel has back stabbed a lot of their great actors and presenters over the years,especially the last three decades.I remember Noni,Maeve and Rob just to name a few.I used to buy the magazine every month but the content was becoming well above my budget or repetitive. I watched for the presenters and l still felt loyal to the show.l think Jason being axed is the final straw.Look out Graham,Jo,Karen and Ed.

I am extremely disappointed that channel 7 had taken this decision to axe Jason from the BHG show team. He was the highlight fit me with his love of all things lawns. What a delightful person and very down to earth he is. It is very disappointing that this arbitrary decision has cast a shadow of gloom over a high point in my week, and Friday nights will never be the same.
As with your ‘loyalty’ to the people who bring the show into our homes, the people who make the show ‘work’, my loyalty to your show will become a mirror image of this ‘loyalty’, lack thereof!!! I missed the carpenter you ‘used’ to have who was a clever and fun guy, to be replaced by someone who is good and a winner of another of ch7 shows, but he is not the same person as the one you axed.
They’re is such a thing as viewer loyalty and by axing the carpenter, and now dear Jason, it saddens me to see the family feel of this show being tossed out for what????
Yet another show no longer lives up to the values it purports to have….. Like loyalty.
Sorry to see you go Jason, you’re a star and a gentleman, and I hope to see you on a rival show next year, one that I will be watching! And I hope a few, who have the same values you have, Jason, leave BHG, ch7, and join you to make a great show where loyalty and support abound.
Good luck for the future, Jason, and BHG has lost my support now…..

Gutted that Jason is leaving BH&G. Wont be the same without this ‘down to earth’ wonderful professional who understands & relates to ordinary aussies gardens & problem solving.
Charlie & his company seems to be more boutique landscapers.
The show is called Better Homes & Gardens. So where does 2020 ‘motoring content’ fit – it absolutely doesnt. Not convinced ‘health & fitness’ has anything to offer but could be a small segment if its able to be done in the home or garden without promoting companies or gym equipment etc
Shame on BH&G & channel 7 for disregarding Jason’s loyalty to the show & all his followers.
I can only hope that another tv show or channel snaps up Jason & highlights his ability & charisma to their advantage.
To drop Jason is BH&G loss

Well that was upsetting to see another change for the worse. I agree with so many other viewers that have watched this program over the last 15 years. Jason is a real asset to this team. What a sad day for the better homes gardens team and there viewers. Why I ask that you have to change something that has been working well for this long? This show will be losing the whole concept of what it is known for. (Gardens and Home) Why fix something that is not broken? I think channel 7 has made a very bad decision and will loose many viewers in the process. If you want a car show or health and fitness make a new lifestyle show.

We have been avid BHG viewers for many, many years and absolutely love Jason Hodges, his segments were always educational, funny and he is a true blue Aussie bloke that is why he is loved so much. I agree with the others Charlie Albone is not a patch on Jason and I think you may regret letting him go when your ratings start to drop.

Channel 7 you are going from bad to worse. Firstly you axe Creek to Coast and now you axe the star of Better Homes and gardens “Jason Hodges”. Don’t you listen to your viewers? We are sick and tired of reality crap and prefer entertaining and informative programs. Reinstate Jason Hodges or I will not watch Better Homes and Gardens again. Wake up to yourselves and deliver a product that your viewers want and not what your so called programmers say we want.

Teary to see Jason leave. Clearly this is upsetting for Jason and heartfelt emotions watching him in the episode on 21/12. The team will not be the same. Perhaps this needs to be reconsidered?

Very disappointed to see Jason go he makes me laugh every episode. He has always been a great asset to the show and it won’t be the same now. If its such a winning format why change it. Very disappointed in the decision. As for motoring in a better homes and gardening show well i won’t be watching that segment if anything.

I am very disappointed with Seven’s decision. Jason Hodges has always imparted his knowledge with a fun and easy approach. He is an integral part of what seemed a very good team, a rarity these days.
I really do not know what is going on in theTV/ media world. 2gb and now Seven seem to be totally disregarding what their audience wants and brutally throwing away good people.
All the best to you Jason.

My personal opinion is the producer in charge is a fair dinkum dog, this is the second time you’ve ripped off the viewers with really good hard working people. Why don’t you give yourself the sack because if anyone should be axed off the show it’s you. I hope you sleep well at night, jerk. Signed angry viewer.

Bad move from BHG team. Jason Hodges is/was key presenter and future ratings will likely show audience feelings. Here’s a suggestion for Jason – team up with Rob Palmer and do a new show.
Meanwhile I’ll likely look for another channel for entertainment on a Friday night

If sacking Jason wasn’t bad enough, he then had to sit thru the fake Christmas party/2019 season retrospective and then the awkward and clearly painful segment with Joanna Griggs announcing his departure.
Just one bad decision after another by Channel 7. And there still doesn’t seem to be any logical reason for letting him go.
Can’t be financial because they’re replacing him with TWO people..

There were only 3 people on the show that were down to earth they Jo Rob & Jason…
2 have gone…
We subscribed to the BHG magazine for Jason’s projects…

So disappointed you dropped Jason he and Danny were mainly why we watched BHG. He made the show down to earth with his blokey ways and wit and brought a sense of continuity and relaxation to the show. BHG is a far cry from the rubbish reality TV on offer but I have a feeling it is going down that road. You will lose many viewers if so as the age group that watches BHG is an older age group that is not interested in sensational reality TV.

BHG too much cooking especially when you had 3 cooks when they had the boring Peter Evans on top of the other two.
Adam is a nice guy but not a patch on Rob Palmer and surprise you sacked him as well.
Guess Tara Dennis will be next as her segments are few and far in 2019.
Your new format sounds like crap and is purely an excuse for cross promotion of your cooking and now motor sport.

I am totally disgusted with the management of channel 7 after again dropping a popular presenter without much warning. Rob Palmer was another one and they didn’t even let Him know personally. They don’t seem to have any decency or manners or concerns about the people they use. AND WHAT ABOUT MONICA VOS our local presenter, heard about the axing of her program in the morning and she was gone in the evening!
As far as I am concerned there are other presenters who could be replaced who get too much airing.

What a shocking decision to axe Jason Hodge. He is the heart and soul of the show and it is disgraceful that the heads of 7 doing this. He and Danny always presented magnificent and inspirational segments and he is a colourful character who fitted in well with the other members of the team.
This will have an adverse effect on the show and the moral of the other members who will be waiting for a tap on their shoulder.
The strange part about this is that Better Homes and Gardens is a well watch show compared to the amount of “crap” they serve up to us each week. Have a look at the number of shocking shows they have bought and screened on 7 over the years. They should get the sack for putting these on.
You wonder whether these so called hot shot executives actually know what they are talking about.
We are not really interested in watching it next year without the effervescent and charismatic Jason Hodge.

We are sending you our thoughts and prayers.
Obviously you cant hire Jason back, so all the best.
Jason will be offered his own show and Australia will switch to that. You know what…they actually will.
Charlie is great…but Jason is like a son to Australia. We will support him.
And if you are reading this Jason, relax over Xmas because the New Year will bring good things.

Why was it necessary to humiliate Jason by making him publicly say goodbye to his colleagues on national TV? As he said “he hasn’t died”. Not by a long shot Jason. Best is yet to come.
Oh! What the hell was Graham Ross doing painting pots with kids. We rolled on the floor laughing. Best you can do for our Christmas segment Mr Ross.?

We are devastated to think that you are axing Jason Hodges from Better Homes and Gardens – I think there are two other older men who could have been axed before Jason as he brings lots of light and laughter into the program. Get rid on the girl cook as well would be a good idea and leave those who seem to enjoy what they are doing such as Ed and Jason =, the real people who MAKE this program work. We have been getting quite bored with the program over the last few months so a new format might be good but not with segments about buying houses or such as there is enough of that already on programs all over the channels. Re-employ Jason if you want our feedback so we can have some light and laughter back into the program. He works so well with other members of the team too in combined segments – most others dont.

The only people who make this show interesting & especially informative at a suburban backyard level are the absolutely wonderful Jason, followed by Adam & Tara. My advice to those two would be ‘watch out’ . If you’re too good at what you do you’ll be out on your ear as well. I can only hope some other station will realise what an incredible asset Jason would be & he sticks it right up channel 7.

The wife and I used to make sure BHG was on every Friday night, but it’s been a let down over the last year or so. You think we like those junky rubbish creations, its not stuff you’d make to complement your home. More to suit school kids! Not nearly enough gardening improvements and way too much cooking segments. Do we really need two cooks. Now you let the garden section go and you don’t think all of US viewers mind. You’ve got it wrong BHG!! We watch it for the team members we like and you got rid of the best one. What fouls you are. The others on the show should stand by and threaten strike action to show their loyalty to Jason and the viewers. OR
You’ll see the rating in 2020 plumerias There’s a few that should go but not Hodges and his little pal.
Watch out 7 your loosing a lot of loyal viewers.

Jason come back!!! Shame on 7 for letting our lovable genuine Aussie bloke go. He gives great advice for every day gardeners we could trust and he represents a large portion of us. BHG wont be the same sadly. All the best Jason for greener pastures, you will be greatly missed!

I hope the thick heads who made this decision, live to regret it. There are others who could have been dispensed with & we wouldn’t have missed them. Jason was a breath of fresh air I will miss him to the extent that I won’t be watching next year. Motor cars & fitness do not fit under the umbrella of B H & G

BIG BIG mistake. You are better than that Jason. I have never commented on a show before but this is too much. Have watched BHG since it first began. Loved watching your segments Jason. You taught me a lot. I wish you all the best for the future. Goodbye BHG. I won’t be watching you ever again.

So shocked to see that Jason (and Danny) will not be a part of BHG next year. He totally made his segments so interesting and relatable to the everyday Aussie. I am very disappointed that I renewed my subscription to the magazine before finding out Jason was out of the show next year. Also I’m not interested in motoring or health related formats as there are other shows that cover that. Will they now have to change the name of the show and magazine. Best of luck Jason you deserve better.

What have the producers of the show done? Obviously you are not considering what the viewer’s want. Typical of what is currently happening in the TV industry. Then you wonder why the ratings have slumped! As you can see from the other comments, Jason is one of the most popular characters on the show and he is the one we enjoy watching. He delivers his segment in a true, down to earth Aussie way and in which the viewers can relate to. You can bring in all the new blood you want, but people want Jason. I hope he gets snapped up by another channel and then you will know who viewers will follow.

What is wrong with the management of this channel? Why would you get rid of one of the most popular characters of the show? It seems typical of the way the TV stations are going these days. Bringing in new blood and then they wonder why the ratings for the show have slumped! Gardening is a very hard segment to keep viewers entertained, but Jason certainly kept us entertained and we wanted to watch more of him. He is down to earth, a true Aussie showing his viewers handy tips and how to enjoy gardening. He even made mowing lawns interesting! I hope he gets snapped up by another channel as I know there are many viewers who would certainly change channels to watch him. Oh well, time to change channels on a Friday night.
User ID not verified.
It takes a lot of talent to have viewers interested in lawns and mowing them! Channel 7, you don’t know talent when you have it in the palm of your hand and then you let it go. You have just lost many viewers and there are other good programs on Friday nights on other channels but a lot of people tuned in to see what Jase was up to this week. Goodbye

I was shocked to hear that Jason has been axed from BHG. I liked watching his segments as he has a larrakin sense of humour, I love Danni and he explained how to get similar results of his projects to the laymen, i.e. me. I had enough confidence to lay my own paving because Jason made it simple and easy to do. I don’t think the show will be the same, without him. I think Channel 7 have made a big mistake.

I’ve been watching Better Homes & Gardens for as long as I can remember. It’s my favourite show and I look forward to every Friday – it signals the weekend for me and has become a tradition in our home. Jason is a true blue Aussie bloke. No airs and graces, what you see is what you get, funny, entertaining and down to earth. We love him and his dog who we met as a pup on the show. Our family would like to let Channel 7 know that axing Jason is a big mistake. We will no longer watch the program nor will I buy the magazine which I have bought faithfully every month for over 10 years.

What – no more Jason?!
Jason is the ray of sunshine on BHG. He is such a personable soul, who teach us affordable, doable landscaping and gardening tricks.
He is a pleasure to watch. Pity that the producers didnt do their homework to see what the public want to watch before they made their decision to axe the most popular presenter. I think that is a very silly move given that BHG is competing with Gardening Aust and The Living Room. As with the hundreds of others who are just as disappointed as I am, I will not be watching BHG as I have done for many many years as my favourite Friday night show.

Jason’s segment was one of the highlights of the show, a real personality and informative. Charlie, does not compare. My wife and I cannot understand. Jason, we are sure you will be scooped up by another network. We will keep watching the show to see how motoring goes on a home and garden show. I hope it is not the beginning of the end for what has been a good program.

So sad to see Jason go ! Please reconsider !

I am very saddened that Jason has been let go. He is brilliant at what he does and has a mega following. I also don’t understand why you would want to put motoring into a gardening show. Why fix what’s not broken. Just don’t understand you people or where you got the idea that this would be better. Get it right and put Jason back in and forget your stupid ideas for motoring.

I find it very sneaky to axe Jason Hodges from the show, He is a true professional. His segments are very entertaining and informative. He will be missed. But, then again, they axed poor Robbie Palmer. Why do they change a wonderful format, and presenters that us regular folks can relate too. Jason, you will be sorely missed, just like Robbie Palmer. put out to pasture much too soon. What is wrong with the bosses ? Then they will put some stupid show on, that the viewers can’t relate too. !!! I suggest that Jason get your own show !!!

I was shocked to be hearing The farewell of Jason Hodge along with his beloved dog Dani…. why I ask he has be apart of the show for 15 years, he has so much knowledge of gardening ideas as well as his other gardening friend Graham.Jason is a genuine man who brings entertainment to the viewers who watch the show each week. Channel Seven bring him back, it was clearly that he was upset along with team who work on the Better Homes and Gardens Show.

Channel Seven I think you need to review your decision and bring Jason Hodge back along with his beloved dog Danni.Read through all comments the viewers wrote . I think you will find there will be less people watching BHG or better still if you have to bring Charlie in have Jason Hodge be apart of the gardening along side Charlie….working together.

Why would they let him go? What’s the really reason? I’m concerned it’s something image related because it cannot certainly be about his personality or his genuineness. Why do reality shows insist on parading the most plastic and superficial of people to Australian viewers. Jason is one in a million – he’s believable and he’s real. He’s the bloke next door. I hope someone in TV land recognises this and adds him to their team. And give us a break from “dumb-arse” presenters and hosts that wouldn’t have a clue about what they are saying or alternatively have dumped their industry professionalism in favour of trying to be an “actor” like those footy show idiots did and now those cooking show idiots are doing. Save us from the “hams”.

So sad to see that Jason has been dumped from BH&G. I have been watching show from inception and have enjoyed and also tried out a lot of what Jason has brought to the show. We will miss his humor as well as Danny. I think Graeme should be leaving as his segment has become boring and I feel it is only beneficial to his business.

I’m an British living in Australia on a working visa, one of the first shows on TV I watched was BH&G’s. I loved it for its originality and Aussie presenenters, Jason was your next door guy, with his sweet dog, he had a way of capturing your attention, he certainly appealed to a wide audience. Unfortunately Charlie Albone is stiff & rigid ( my opinion & I accept not everyone will agree ) having seen him on selling houses Australia, you hardly see him getting his hands dirty, he is to upmarketfo this TV show. I won’t stop watching but will record and just fast forward his section. I don’t know what market research you have done, but who ever made this decision needs firing!

To the executives who made this decision, shame on you. Never before have I seen such an extensive feed of comments in support of a brilliant yet down to earth Australian presenter! I am appalled at the treatment of Jason by Chanel 7. To watch him on the last program of the year, a shattered man, disposed of in such a humiliating manner was very upsetting. This is not okay. People should not be treated and disposed of like this.
To Jason, I hope your faith in people is restored in the knowledge that you are an amazing presenter who will quickly be snapped up and valued for all your award winning talents. You have a huge wave of support behind you. Ride that wave, be positive. You can do this!

Either way – I won’t be watching BHG without Jason – sorry to see him leave!
Very bad decision by Channel 7 ???

I am saddened to read that Jason will no longer be part of this team. Whilst I have enjoyed quite a few segments over the years, I mostly watched the show for the landscaping.

It was a wrong decision to remove Jason from the show

I’m absolutely gutted to find out that Jason will not be part of the show this year he was the absolute highlight of the show in my opinion and unfortunately that means for me I’m done no more Better Homes and Gardens for me.
I hope Jason moves on to bigger and better things. X

Well that’s one less to watch on ch7 enjoyed watching Jason. Done your dash this time with all the other crap shows going back to reading books. Hope you regret your decision to sack Jason

Well what can I say. Dumping the most real life person on the show. Everything he did was explained so that ordinary folks had best chance of a result of their own Ah well it’ll give other channels a lookin on my tv..

I am disappointed that Jason has been dropped from Better Homes.He is so entertaining and knowledgable.I don’t think the show will be the same without him.The lovely aspect of the show is that it has a family feel.You look forward to those same faces every week.You don’t drop family!I was sad when Rob Palmer was dropped as well.Surely these family members can be kept on with guest presenters giving the added variety that all shows need.Bad move Seven!

In my humble opinion, Jason was the star of the show. I like Charlie Allbone, but he’ll never replace Jason. And another thing, why is there so much cooking? Good luck Jason Hodges…such a down to earth lovely man.

My favourite on the team. Sad to see Jason go. Always engaging, funny and informative.Most of all he was truely authentic with real “everyday people” appeal. Maybe he lacked the required look management were looking for. Let’s face it he didn’t have the just come from the gym look and the smile you could see from space, and yes Dr Harry and Graham I am referring to you guys!

Absolutely disgusted an devastated that you have sacked Jason an danny shame on you channel 7 you did the same with Rob Palmer an he was great as well, you have done your dash with my family the amount of crap shows on channel 7 now and now you have added another one. Never heard of this Melissa King an why have someone selling houses, this show originally was about Noni an John renovating there house. and now it’s changed. Good luck Jason will miss you

Like everyone else, I too am in shock re the decision to let go Jason Hodges. I always look forward to his segment and have learned so much. His easy going manner and sense of humour will be sadly missed and if you are going to put motoring in as one of the segments well sadly I also won’t be tuning in. I will miss Fast Ed and Graham’s segments but without Jase, not worth tuning in. It seems Ch 7 have made a very big error in judgement and obviously don’t know what their viewers liked about the format. Sad, sad, sad.

I agree with Judy as well, why did you have to get rid of Jason, we all really liked Jason, he was very popular, how do you decide who goes and who stays, NOT NiCE channel 7 ??

I am very disappointed with the decision 7 have made, Jason is very natural, easy to watch and understand , it will be in interesting to see
how people react, I wish Jason all the best things , perhaps the life has gone out of the party

Absolutely big miss Jason! What a wonderfully natural presenter and gardener. What a huge mistake to let him go BHG!

I don’t know why you would drop Jason Hodges. He was one of the more enjoyable and entaining presenters on the show. Shame.

Agree with everyone else that the show will not be as interesting without Jason. I think it was a mistake to basically sack him.
