From another thread...

Even the massive **** is a contradiction.

In all honesty I feel very, very sorry for James. If the role of 'James' is your solution, then the problem is surely a big one, so to speak. If you tell me the reason he's not coming out is down to his father, for example, then, y'know, it's hard isn't it.

Sorry, I was just put off by Gary being great in the BOTS phone room.

Sorry, what I was trying to say was, James is in conflict forever because he can't get out of his own way.

Haha....I like it

Good on Gabrielle for calling them gits.

There is a lot who think he is that is why he won!!!!!

It was so funny watching him sitting there ranting about how rude & nasty Gary & Audely were totally oblivious to how rude & nasty he was being at that exact time...
Emma didn't know what to do lol.
She was obviously hoping to go the 'your a nice guy deep down, everything you say is tongue in cheek' route they have been trying to spin about James, but James was exposing his true awful self to the world right before our eyes so she had to rip up the script

Hahaha that's so funny and fits him to a tee !!!

Haha....so right.

He came out of the house fighting with himself

James actually just isn't a very nice person.

When he started ranting out of nowhere that 'he is not afraid of Audely' again and boasting he's not afraid of getting knocked out I had to hide behind a cushion I was cringing so much

James's mini-me could well be seen as just as bitter. No wonder Lauren didn't want him; isn't there a place in Essex called BitterRicci?

At least he kept to what he believed, suddenly changing when he came out would of made him look like a bigger tool.

He came over as almost ferociously bitter. He couldn't get out of his own way even on Bots

Well credit to him for that.

His worst enemy...how more bitter do you want it? The man was pure bile.

Yes I was actually for him (like we really shouldn't be watching this).

James said a lot more than that.

Finalists are usually reasonably gracious about the winner, even if they had clashed in the house. Earlier evictees are sometimes bitter, but usually the finalists aren't, or manage to keep from showing it too obviously on the final night.

Normally I would agree,but THAT interview??

It's impossible to make yourself look a bigger tool than that.

He's probably already qualified for the Guinness Book of Records 'biggest ever tool'. Goodness knows where we're going to find a bigger one.

No, it wouldn't. I'm pretty sure none of the many finalists over the years who behaved more graciously were thought a bigger tool than James because of it.

I'm already thinking of spanners of all sorts and sizes

Usually, I love one or two of the finalists and loathe the others but by the time they've all left the house, congratulated each other and been interviewed, I've usually thawed a bit towards the HMs I didn't like as they often come across well in their interviews and I wonder why I hated them so much and kick myself for falling into the trap of BBs continual bad edits to create 'baddies'

But wow James and Dee are so very bitter and are actually behaving even worse now out of the house.

No one can blame the editing for making them look worse in the house as is often the case, they really are that horrible

I give him credit for saying what he thought and probably a lot of the other housemates thought it to. Gary was obviously a pain to live with, we may of found it entertaining but I can understand how difficult it is to cope with someone who suffers from problems such as deafness and mental health problems as I've had to do it myself.

I think James tried to deal with it and tried the most out of everyone in the house and then to find Gary came first and you're the "villain" despite how much effort you put in is obviously not very nice and even I'd struggle to contain myself at that point.

My point is, give him some slack, it's easy to judge someone from your couch when you've not had to go through with it yourself but trust me it is difficult and I do sympathise with the position he is in.

I'm disappointed, I was really hoping it was all panto and his fans were correct when they said he was just mischievous and it was all banter and BB were editing him to make him look bad. I hate it when people turn out to be awful.

Come on, he is a bitter man, not sure why, unless he can't get over the fact that he was sacked from Strictly, something to do with him falling out with Craig Revel Horwood. He could not take criticism in that show either.
