I admit I am surprised that James in CBB seems nothing but charm, it obviously goes deep; but I agree with you that he is very focused on how much money he can make out of it.

Austin is the same. It is one of the things they have in common. Austin is playing the game by American rules - up the drama to get the votes. James is playing by British rules - the one who the British public believe to be the nicest wins.

Having said that Austin is more familiar than his other American housemates with British culture.

I am not sure whether either James or Austin knows where their niceness ends and their greed begins. The same is true for all of them - except for those Americans who see niceness as a weakness. It is that frontier spirit. In the UK we are too busy trying to get on with each other on this little Island.

LA must be a hell hole.”

BIB He's in full salesman mode. The product he's presenting and selling this time though, is himself.

I've said before that it really seems like he's been through media training since Apprentice. To what end we'll find out eventually.

I'm not sure the previous rtv James could have sold himself as efficiently as this newer model.

On the live feed, Bobby was badgering him about what he would be doing next. He wasn't keen to say, but he finally mumbled something about 'health care' (going by his business record, I think I'll take my health to be cared for elsewhere, thanks!) and 'media career'. So I think you're right.

Do people seriously think Austin was "sexually pestering" James in that clip? Seriously? Gay men can have horseplay with straight people without it being sexual.

Exactly.... And James is happy to join in but some people cant see that.

Yes, I often pull my pants off and ask people to massage my inner thigh, but only if they are good looking enough.

Totally agree with you both. Still there isn't any mileage in that unlike playing the offended card on behalf of James

If the producers showed James starting the "horseplay" on the main show, like we get to see on the livefeed and on the clips on the official site.....maybe some people will accept it isnt Austin "sexually pestering" James.... but the producers rather just show Austin starting it.,strange that....

The person calling me homophobic seems pretty keen to play the offended card.

Completely agree. I might be wrong but they didn't show(for example) the piggyback ride on the highlights, did they? James snuggled up beside Austen, asking him in a childlike voice if he could carry him to the shower because he's a poor tired baby! Austen's been criticised for being flirty with James but James has been doing exactly the same.
