Thank bloody goodness for copy & paste. I knew the thread would change while I was procrastinating.

Well I've read everything there is to read and am all clued up on Josie and her rampage through Twitter- verbally annihilating Tweeters with her icy Twitter tongue! No offence to Josie -as I've said, I've always slightly preferred her, even though I love John- but she is really doing a good job of making John-James look good today, isn't she?
At the moment Josie seems to be wanting to initiate a reaction from John James, though I actually think this is her secondary intention. I think first and foremost the reason for these -very defensive- Tweets are to inform the world that she is 100% pissed off! I think Josie feels that she has had enough of being made out to be the bad guy. Even though John has had his fair share of haters, I think a lot of people are suspicious of Josie because she is normally so happy and positive all the time. People are just suspicious of someone who is always positive and Josie is no exception. Therefore Josie gets a lot of posts calling her fake, calling her a liar- just people trying to get her to crack so they can prove that she isn't what she portrays herself to be. I for one think Josie is a happy-go-lucky person at the heart of it all, but she really does crack and has a horrible temper. Nobody can help having a temper- my dad has the most ferocious temper of all time, far worse than John James or Josie- yet it doesn't make him a bad person!
All these tweets that Josie is sending at the moment are her way of venting and saying 'I have really had enough of you people constantly accusing me of things I haven't done.' I don't think John is a liar, I just think Josie does and says things before she thinks. Seems to be doing something similar with these posts. This is the sign of a woman who has had her fill of what has been 'dished out' and she is ready to tell people exactly what she thinks.
As for John, because he is keeping so quiet and really hasn't said as much on the matter as Josie, opting for cryptic texts (which are very unfair because he could really mean anything by them. Josie's imagination is free to wander over every and all possible insinuations meant in his Tweets, half of which are probably wrong conclusions) it makes Josie look like the evil witch that everyone thinks she is.
I guess when it comes down to it though, John James is probably doing the right thing by keeping quiet about Josie's messages (that's providing he's even seen them) but unfortunately it makes Josie look quite bad
I genuinely think Josie is a really nice person! Of course we can never know what she is truely like, but I don't believe that she is horrible. I remember in te houe, Laura came out and said she thought Josie was the dominant one and not to cross her. I know Laura was only in there for a few moments, but I don't think these conclusions are wrong. I think Josie has a dominant personality, but it's simply because she attracts so many people that she has a power she's not even aware of. Unfortunately I think people see this as her manipulating people, possibly why she's getting such a brunt of hate at the moment. John is keeping quiet as of now -something he's not normally renowned for doing- so I guess it makes him look blameless in the situation. I think they're both just reacting to this in different ways- Josie is annoyed and is blowing up, John is keeping quiet because I think he knows Josie is going to blow up.
Wow, be interesting (if not horrific) to see how all this turns out. I can see John eventually retaliating and the consequences may not be great! I hate to admit it but I just don't know how this can turn out well.
I think I should end by saying - I love John James and Josie!

BIB - I've been trying to think of a way to explain why John liked Josie in the robot suit so much but couldn't quite do it in a way that made sense but that's given me a good get in. With the robot suit it wasn't what Josie looked like in that appealed but the position it put her in. For 4 weeks Josie had been quite independant, did things for herself and didn't show any signals of needing support from others, either physically or emotionally. She had a dominance over everything and people couldn't really get in. As soon as she put the robot suit on she was suddenly vulnerable. She needed help. More importantly she had to
ask for help. Who was there to look after her, take care of her every need, be there for her when she needed assistance? John. He was the only one to help her with anything. None of the other housemates in suits recieved such care and attention. John loved those couple of days where Josie was letting him look after her. He enjoyed the feeling of being the one to make her time in the suit easier, being there for her and breaking through that dominance.
I'd also say that during that time he used their conversations to set up their relationship to a point where they could pick it up on the outside, as he was convinced he was going to be evicted just two days later. I'm absolutely convinced, had John gone instead of Nathan, John would've given Josie a cheeky kiss and a wink on the way out.
Very good post by the way.
Natalie's, I mean. Not mine.
