John has said some beautiful things to Josie in the house and about her on the doc. he has a lovely way with words when the time is right. But even in the house these times were when they were on their own or under the doona where even if we could hear them, their fellow housemates couldnt.
I think john is quite romantic with things like that but as you say in private where his mates or others cannot hear him - just a normal bloke really.”
You've hit the nail on the head

John's a bloke and i think sometimes people forget this lol Girls are more prone to be soppy in public, while guys usually aren't so much. I'm sure that when others aren't around John is incredibly sweet, just like he was in the house, but most guys i know are not overly lovely dovey when in the company of others.

Hope you're ok hon btw catch up soon, off to bed now, this 9-5 life is tough!!! lol, night xxxx”

I agree that he isnt his best when hes alone, i think he would love his friends to be there for him in the UK too, I know he has Jose but when shes not with him, he needs someone else...and he doesnt always have JJ or Sam around and they arent the same as his friends from home anyway. I agree that twitter is quite limited, so people can easily misinterpret tweets. i dont read too much into tweets tbh. xx”

I dont like getting one nasty tweet so to get many would really be annoying”
I agree with all of you guys have said. I think John is a little lonely when Josie isn't around. The only friends he has in the UK are people from the Big Brother house, and the likes of Sammy and JJ2 will be quite busy themselves at the moment so he can't always rely on having them around to hang out with.
John does tend to only come on twitter alot when he's by himself. It probably is a form of company, he gets to interact with people etc. I do think he comes on wanting to chat to his fans but then end up getting embroiled in talking/bantering with the haters, which is completely natural, and to be honest i'd do the same thing
I don't think John particularly likes going out clubbing/partying etc so hopefully he can meet some new people either at the gym where he's training, or maybe he should join a local football club. That would be great as it would get him out of the flat, find some people who share his interest in the beautiful game and be able to maybe go down the pub for a milk (lol) afterwards

People think twitter represents everything which is worrying, its only a tweet...doesnt mean anything really. Its what he says to Josie in their own time that matters. xxx”
I agree 100%

There are two sides to John, just like everyone else in the world, he has his argumentative, fiery side, but he also has his sweet, kind, caring, loving side, which was evident the more time he spent with Josie in the house. He admitted himself, when telling her all the things he loved about her, that she brings out a better side to him. Like you say, at the end of the day the only thing that matters is what he's like when he's alone with Joise, and i bet you anything he's a right soppy sod
[quote=Randy&Joanne;45497391John's last tweet is actually lovely 'Well you might be right but luckily Josie sees it differently but if she didn't,I'd accept that.....'
Such a loving and humble thing to say[/QUOTE]
N'awwwwwww that is so sweet, and loving and selfless.

Whatever he tweets he can't win, they've already made up their minds so he may as well just have fun and be himself.

Exactly, either way John can't win, damned if he does, damned if he doesn't
