Jack is enjoying Simons discomfort way too much. He seems to have taken the 'us and them' situation way too far and wants to do anything to put the new housemates in their place. Only he would rather someone else did the talking. Joel, unfortunately, has taken on this role with much enthusiasm, which will be his downfall. Joel, is very young and doesn't have a lot of life experience. Although he is more intelligent than most in there, he has made the mistake of allowing himself to become jack's spokesperson. Jack, is not a child but seems stuck in the mind and body of a 15 year old. In a childish way he sees himself as protecting 'his' house and Joel's taken the position of spokesperson.
Joel was one of my favourites until this week. He's blown it this week by getting involved in the hideous hounding of simon. Simon ' only crime really is not realising that the diary room is not confidential. In the old days of bb they could go in there and trust bb to keep it private. Not any more. BB caused the argument yesterday and jack stirred the pot.
