I noticed James say in his interview that he just winds up people as a joke, and that it's their fault if they take it seriously.
But when the joke has been on him he's taken it very seriously indeed.

Dont speak about the Brad Pitt of dancing like that!!!

That sounds like the sort of rationalisation a bully uses: it's their victim's fault if they "can't take a joke" or don't "get" that it's joking.


Yes, and I don't think Dee would have thought him such "fun" if he'd aimed his wind-ups at her.

very good points

He made the point that he's just joking with people.
But also says that the two people left in the house, Gary and Audley, are two people he doesn't like.

In fact when he's had a go at people there were so many times when he quite obviously wasn't joking at all.
I fail to see how in the many times he had a go at Gary that he was just joking. He seemed to be serious enough to tell other housemates about Gary, but nobody was laughing at his jokes then, there was no indication or acknowledgment of any humour being involved. These must have been jokes which were intended to spread misery and ill feeling. I've never heard of those types of jokes before.

It's like the thing about it all being "banter" but how exactly is calling Audley a c*** just after he has walked out of the room banter? He's not even there to take part in the banter

Err.. Dee announced she was booked to go on some political show to challenge the government on...wait for it... the treatment of 'the poor and needy'. You know who the 'poor and needy' are don't you?...The people she stole money from in the first place. I mean you couldn't make it up! Only in 'this country'.

Well summed up.

There seems to be real malice and venom behind his "jokes"

It's a fact that bullies rarely tackle each other.

What a nasty woman she is.

George railed at Gary even harder in the house, but I suppose he's realized if he doesn't come off as a gracious loser he'll have very few TV jobs going forward.

He's lying.

It's interesting these types these types who claim it's "their nature" and that they're "just being themselves and stirring", but that they're good blokes nonetheless. They always show that they can give it but not take it. They think it's somehow their right to "test" everyone else, but nobody has the right to do it back to them.

I despise the pair of them

George isn't much better

I'm pleased to report - they won't be on any tellies in this gaff any time soon Salv*

OH has just watched it and he can't stand them either

One other thing I noticed in his eviction interview....

He told Emma that he will have a go at people who he thinks are rude, obnoxious, and who aren't very nice.
The problem with that justification is that all three of those terms would describe James to a tee.
So he has the moral high ground to deem others of being worthy of his verbal attacks, but who judges him? Why does he get away with it when any other housemate could use exactly the same justification that they are attacking him because they find him to be rude, obnoxious, and not very nice.

James by his logic is allowed to be all these things where others are not.

It all comes down to breeding in the end. Gary has been in the public eye, doing interviews and personal and profession PR for four decades now. He knows how to conduct himself in front of a crowd, he knows what reflects. Dee....no talent, national exposure on TV and large amounts of money in a short space of time with no self-awareness at all and nothing to be grateful for. She did not work for this 'fame' she is enjoying, she just feels 'entitled'. That is her culture and always has been.

James; a guy with loads of artistic talent combined with the very unfortunate trait of being an idiot and not having the self-awareness to realise how he comes across. This guy could do with some 'honest' people in his life to tell him so. I don't think he's ever been criticised in his life.

Haha you had me there

100%agree.

Actually they already knew that it was them being nasty to Gary that was keeping him in, so at the end of the series they all decided to pretend to be nicer to him in order to get rid of him.

Dee revealed this on BBOTS. She thought it was funny too.

Goes to show how aware they were of what they were doing and how they were behaving.

Now Dee and James have well and truely shown their true colours. By their behaviour now they are out I expect there will be newspaper articles from them saying how horrible Gary was to live with and that we didn't see what he was like. I DON'T CARE, We saw their treatment of him and the bitching behind his back and they should both be ashamed of themselves and they are just going to show themselves up. As for "momma dearest," I mean Dee, just how many of these celebs does she think will have time for her in say----6 months time. Or even next week!

I picked up on that too. Their 'niceness' was so fake they couldn't fool the public.

Yes. She also admitted on Benefits Street that she was getting by very nicely on the benefits she received, and not to blame her, but blame Mr Cameron instead.

I believe she really is depressed, depressed that she's had to sign off!

HMs who call themselves "jokers" are always like that

Ricci didn't seem bitter on BOTS he had a joke with Gary about his accent, there was no shade or bad feelings and when Ricci was evicted he is sound with Gary they had some great chats, he seems to have left any bad feelings In the house its a shame the other HMs couldn't do the same!
