Have to disagree with ferfer about John not answering fanmail when in the UK, in the ''what happened next'' didn't we see him having a hissy fit cos he couldn't find a pile of it and blamed Josie on moving it, he even looked under the rug

Not quite sure why some of you think John wouldn't be keeping busy, or why his friends would be lying? It's possible, of course, he just doesn't want to talk to his supporters any more, or - as he's said before, doesn't know what to say to them, and that they were just making excuses.
I imagine he enjoys his life; he has his family and good friends there, it's summer, he's not far from the beach, his g/f is there, and it's possible he is working too, or studying, or travelling even. I could imagine (with my imagination ) that he keeps himself pretty busy. I think if he were bored he'd be more likely to come online than if he were busy. |

Made the time? Or been invited to go?
I don't see Josie watching it now either. She said it while she was in the throws of this BB and probably realized by talking to the evicted hgs that the show showed so little of what actually happened that she could have been interested in what was shown for BB11. But she does seem busy, happy, and probably (if we know Josie) has forgotten about that proclamation. John didn't answer fanmail when he was in the UK, so who's to say he's doing it now. It would be nice, especially for people who have supported him post-split and since he's gone, but I don't think either of them have any responsibility to respond to anyone. It's nice that Josie did that and was so personal, but that was because she's her. Neither need or should be expected to respond. But that's not Josie. Josie lives in the moment. She looks to what's happening next. She's not a dweller or reflecter on things. I think that's due to the hard life and times she had and what has allowed her to continue to be a positive, happy person in spite of her past. |

Yes, he wanted to find it, I watched that show too. I'd be interested to know if anyone who wrote him, got a response from just him?

Why is it not Josie? She was on our tv screens for 3 months - imo she tweeted she was going to watch her BB back come December and she will. Yes she's busy but perhaps December is a month when everything calms down a little and maybe she also feels she will be strong enough to watch it. I'm sure she would like to see how she was portrayed in front of thousands of people. Whether its in her nature to do it or not.

I think she would enjoy watching it. She was funny, engaging, and I think she would like to see the other housemates and what they did/said that had nothing to do with her. |

In my post I wondered if she would watch it I too think she will forget she said it lol she is prone to forget things The point I was making is that imo it might be good for her to watch herself back whether she will or not remains to be seen.

I can't picture it myself, it costs a lot of money to send mail from Oz to here (First Class post here in the UK alone is 46p) and it was a long time ago when they were in a different mind-set and different circumstances, supporters/fans were necessary for their 'work' so he/they needed them, he doesn't really need them now. Maybe he'll tweet a thank you for all the letters or something.

She also didn't have Luke living with her then did she? Can you see it now 'hey Luke, wanna watch me trying to dry hump John James last year in BB?' ![]() All I was saying in my post before was that I cannot see her having the time or the inclination now that the flush of the lastest BB has passed, when it might have been on her mind more. I do agree with Ferfer though, Josie never came across as a reflective kind of person. She must know by now how she came across on BB - she has over 270k twitter followers who must have thought she was okay, and she's also aware of a lot of the criticism she's received since by various means. Of course, it may well be that she does take some time in December in-between work and her holiday and the Xmas season to sit down and trawl thru 10 weeks of Big Brother episodes ... but I just can't imagine it! |

No I agree with that. I was asking if anyone recieved a response from him when he was in the UK...just from him. MagStar pointed out he was upset about his mail being moved before he had responded. Josie responded to her letters, and they both sent cards for stuff that was for them together, but I don't remember ever hearing about anyone just getting responses from John.

Yes I know what you are saying Carole and I agree Josie can be forgetful but she is surrounded by people who will remind her of her tweet and I'm sure she will do it, she might not get through it all come Christmas mind lol

You said he didn't answer any of it
, who's to know? maggi xI could be wrong! But I never saw anyone on Twitter post responses or pics of mail from just him. I did see that from Josie. And I said I would be curious to see if anyone did get a response from just him. I'm not saying he didn't, I'm saying I never saw or heard anyone who received it. |

I think the point was that ... like I do when I've missed something on TV and I say I'll watch it on the iplayer, I rarely do. Josie tweeted it when BB was on and maybe at the time thought she might watch BB11 back at some point in the future, but it doesn't mean that she actually going to do it. Perhaps she will, but I saw it more as a caught up in the BB excitement a few weeks back rather than a committed plan to do so.
She also didn't have Luke living with her then did she? Can you see it now 'hey Luke, wanna watch me trying to dry hump John James last year in BB?' ![]() All I was saying in my post before was that I cannot see her having the time or the inclination now that the flush of the lastest BB has passed, when it might have been on her mind more.

Why should John or any of his friends tell 'fans' the truth about whats going on over in Oz, even 'fans' they talk to on a regular basis on twitter, 'fans' they go into dm with even
![]() ![]() I agree, why should John's friends tell anybody anything, or why should John even... don't think we were talking about whether they were obliged to say anything at all about John were we? I apologise for the word 'lying'... 'suggesting they might be sarcastically bending the truth', there that's more accurate
