Don't be fooled by James

[Deleted User] · 29/08/14 - 06:23

You may start to think James isn't all bad with his councilling Gary , but he knows by the cheers Gary is popular and he (James) is umpopular (Booed.)
I think he is being FAKE nice to Gary first to stay in the game and second hopng for connections with Gary and his Hollywood friends ....Hoping for a dancing career in The Movies

[Deleted User] · 29/08/14 - 06:42

1. He was behaving exactly the same with Gary before he heard the crowd noises

2. He hasn't been sucking up to Gary. He was the one who suggested taking a shower. That's a very risky way of trying to make connections.

So, wrong on both counts

He has only been 'acting' decent towards Gary after his early 'advice session' in the diary room.

And I'm ''right' on that count..;-)

I noticed when they first arrived he was frequently sat next to Gary and filling Gary in on what he couldn't hear. Didn't see any of it after their gay argument though.

James is odeous with very, very few redeeming qualities.
He was really horrible to his first strictly dance partner. I can't remember her name... She was from Casulty. He tried to tone it down after that but always had nasty undercurrents.

James has now taken to passing off being rude, nasty, bitchy, bigoted, patronising as being "on the wind up". This is how he justified his mean and sneaky attack on Audly when he accused Audely of cooking to gain favour in the house.
"I was on the wind-up" oh so that's ok then. Loveable rogue James.... NOT. >:(

I never watched Strictly..not really a fan of such programmes - just BB when it comes to reality - though I did watch the first two I'm a Celebrity series on ITV..before getting bored with the formula.

So thank you. Interesting piece of background, though despite his awful character - I have to concede that in terms of 'entertainment'/controversy, he makes for a 'good' housemate. Would prefer the deadwood go first.

Obviously David went..which ideally would follow with (in any order), Ricci, Lauren and Claire for now.

..PS : With George thrown out for discrimination towards the elderly/disabled/hard of hearing immediately.

I've also seen him on The Wright Stuff, absolutely hideous man who just says whatever comes into his brain. He came across as really thick.

As much as I can't stand James I'd rather have George and Stephanie out, or Ricci who does nothing.

Funny that. Maybe because it didn't happen? I've always seen him standing up for his partners when the judges are unnecessarily harsh.

white tigress · 29/08/14 - 09:14

What I liked was his mystification at the crowd booing, concluding it was because he was friendly with the younger women in the House sometimes!! Oh dear. James is Comedy Gold!!

If Gary and his friends had that much clout in Hollywood he wouldn't be reduced to appearing on RTV shows.

It did happen.
Georgina or Georgia Bouzova was her name. He was practically abusive to her. She was not the best of dancers but he was rude and unsupportive to her.
I don't think I've been harsh at all about James. I remember being surprised that he came back for another strictly after the way he treated Georgina. He did tone it down after that the but undercurrent was there.

Did you watch strictly that year? How do you rate his behaviour ?

Well, when you're the 'Brad Pitt of The Dance World' what other reason could it be?

Gary's acting days are pretty much over as he is 70+ years old w/ disabilities but don't fool yourself. He still has plenty friends in Hollywood. He is very eccentric etc... but many still love him and treat him with the respect he deserves.

[Deleted User] · 29/08/14 - 09:45

Yes but he's the Brad Pitt of dancing, he had a bigger personality than the rest of his SCD comrades, he is a very intelligent guy, and he's very funny.

Couple that with his completely none shifty eyes, his genuine concern for Gary, with absolutely no bitching behind his back, and I think we have ourselves a pretty all round great guy.

All hail James.

that wasn't James's final conclusion ..... he was going through a list of things that may have in result being booed. If you go on You Tube you will see a full clip why he seems to come over patronizing & condescending.

I agree.

Well yes, that was comedy gold

but he did work his way through the mystery of the booing to conclude that it was his condescending and over-bearing manner (the reasons for which he explained pretty well) and his 'angry face' that was not going down well with the crowds. So he's not in the least delusional about himself ('Brad Pitt of the Dancing World' aside ;-))

I like James, condescending warts and all. I find him interesting and funny to watch and the house would be a far duller place without him. And I like his relationship with Gary.

don't forget his face that his parents constructed

James reminds me of David Brent. I find it a bit cringeworthy when he launches into his speeches.

He does have a scary face construction. His parents should have given more thought to the eye-positioning.

Looking at the pics of him on their website, he really LOVES himself.

though let's clear this up once and for all, most definitely and categorically, for the right team :cool:

Warp · 29/08/14 - 11:32

Nothing has changed in his actions towards Gary, so I'm not fooled by anything if anything you're fooled into thinking James is the devil because he takes the time to speak and explain to gary things in a manner you don't deem suitable but Gary obviously does.
