Jedson was the first player chosen by Kiefer Collison to be a part of Team Defender. He was a part of The Sunsetters alliance, had a final 2 alliance called Undercover Brothers with eventual winner Tychon Carter-Newman and a showmance with Beth Bieda. Jedson was a big target for the other side of the house for being a physical threat, but was able to remain safe by his alliance winning Head of Household competitions back to back.
He was also known for making poor strategic decisions. In week 7, he won HoH and attempted to backdoor Kiefer, only to then decide to keep him and evict Tina Thistle instead. During this week, Tychon turned against Jedson because the former felt he was at the bottom of the totem poll, and Kiefer also turned against him as well despite being saved from eviction. In the following week, Jedson and Beth were nominated by Tera Petrozzi-Gillen. After Jedson won the Power of Veto, he was convinced by Tera that if he used the veto on Beth, Breydon White would be the replacement nominee and would be evicted, which led to him saving Beth from the block and Tera nominating Breydon next to him. Initially feeling safe, Jedson began to feel suspicious about the plan. When he confronted Kiefer and Tychon before the eviction, they both confessed to him that they were voting him out. Jedson was then evicted in the first half of the Fake Double Eviction in a 3-0 vote. He had the chance to return to the game in a one-on-one showdown against fellow evictee, Tera, but lost, officially placing 6th and becoming the 4th member of the Jury.
Jedson's decision to remain on the block and use the veto on Beth is considered one of the worst moves in Big Brother Canada history.
