Oh ffs James has not lost anything, yes Austin has been a close aquaintance for 3 weeks, but he has always made it quite clear what side he is on, even Friday night he was telling Jenna that she needed not to worry about him and James because he would always have her back, which bit of that is Austin being a loyal friend to James?
I think people are all jumping on the band wagon if there is any chance to knock James as it is quite clear James is the winner.
James has tried and tried to help Austin because he could see the way he is behaving and knows how bad he is making himself look, but Austin has refused to listen and take his advise. Even Natasha has told James he needs to stand up for himself against Austin because he is ALWAYS having a go at him. We haven't seen more than half that has gone on in that house so I feel it is very unfair to blame James for nominating, if indeed he has, Austin.
Austin is now being coached by Jenna, so whatever friendship there was won't last much longer, she will make sure of that. And lest we forget, it is a gameshow so if James is playing a game he is playing it bloody, and kudos to him!!
