Although he still had to go through the entire audition process, Jameson learned about the audition almost serendipitously. He was on a road trip to Baguio when he was approached by a random lady who told him that he has potential to become a housemate for the reality TV program. With the encouragement of his friends and his mom, Jameson went for it and was one of the aspiring housemates who lined up at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
