Austin is a shite hawk and doesn't deserve to have a good friend like James.

IT IS A GAMESHOW let us not forget.

I agree with you. In tonight's HL show, J&A were definitely peed off with one another but not to the extent James would actually go and nominate Austin. Something else must have went down, and there's been zero interaction with Jenna/James/Austin today I don't get it.

How funny would it be if James didn't actually nominate Austin, all this uproar for nothing I'm gonna reserve my judgement until tomorrow night.

agree - non believable utter rubbish he was trying to pick up Janice's votes now he knows she is not in the top four

You don't ?

I'll explain then .... because it shows him to be a back-stabbing little sh*thouse rat ... that's why

Exactly, Austin has been hideous this week, I'm not surprised if James has nominated him, regardless of any friendship they had which has clearly deteriorated. James gets more likable by the day.

I know Helen, it's so annoying that we don't know for sure. We should try and not speculate until tomorrow when we can see and hear everything in (sort of) full.

*taps fingers impatiently*


What should we talk about till then? Is it supposed to rain tomorrow?

James' nom literally cannot be for anyone else. First of all he said "he", which narrows it down to only Bobby and Austin. Second, he said that the person has been going off and having a go at people recently. It's 100% Austin.

On todays feed, the only thing mentioned about the three is Stevie and Bobby not liking Austin's behaviour and then Jenna saying she thinks the way James is acting with Austin is "ugly".

That's all we know, so we know something happened today, whether it was before noms or after the reveal (as both of these were after nominations)

The gathering of the sofa happened before these two last tweets

7.38pm: The housemates have been called to the sofas. WHAT COULD IT MEAN? #BBUKLive

7.58pm: Bobby is pondering the nominations results, which have taken everyone by storm

10.16pm: Bobby and Stevi are saying that they don't like the way Austin talks to certain housemates #BBUKLive

10.32pm: Jenna says James' behaviour towards Austin has been "ugly" #BBUKLive

I reckon between those times, something big happened. I think they showed the noms back and then there was a row.

I'm icelandic, it rains here everyday

I haven't seen the BBBOTS clip but now that Salv has explained it further I'm gonna stop the denial and admit the nom was most definitely for Austin.

I always wanted James to win, but I don't know anymore after this. It's unacceptable to nominate your BFF in there even though you have a disagreement the night before. Like I said before, something else must have happened (that we haven't seen).

Yeah that sounds like it. There's not going to be a storm about BB just reading the names out. They must have shown James nominating Austin...and I'm guessing that wouldn't have gone down too well with Austin


Ah, well as we know it's going to rain tomorrow we might as well go back to speculating!

I'm in agreement. It's totally unacceptable. For me anyway, obviously some people may be ok with it, but that's not a character trait I like. Keep telling him off to his face, but doing something that will potentially harm his experience in the house and get him evicted just seems so extreme. Austin has hardly been vitriolic towards James, he's just wanted a bit more support and all their arguments have been really, really silly and they've made up. Something else must have happened

James was just using Austin to give him a storyline and now he has thrown him aside. It's a shame cos Austin genuinely likes him.

He's been leadig up to it for days. Well played!

See, I think James genuinely likes Austin too. I think he's doing what he thinks he should do, rather than what he wants to do.

That's why it looks so bad ... Austen thought they really were friends

I'd hate to think he was that calculating from day dot. But can't say it's not possible.

Yeah, he really did. Austin has been pretty hardcore in there, volatile is probably the right word. However, he's so weak (in a good way) when it comes to James. They haven't argued much from the beginning, only in the last couple of days, but it's obvious Austin desperately wants to be on James' good side. Whenever they've bickered, Austin comes back to James with the puppy eyes.

So what do you think of him now if he has nominated Austin then, he's obviously played him and everybody else like a good un if that's the case and only used Austin with the bromance story to get him to the final! Scoop was not at all impressed on BOTS! I think a lot of people will look on him as being disingenuous.

Quite disgusted if this is the case!

If we find out tomorrow that Austin didn't nom James, then I'd be a little disappointed in James sadly, unless something else went down today. I'd love there to have been live feed tonight.

From the tweets we know that they both had a part to play. Jenna calling James' behaviour towards Austin "ugly", and Bobby and Stevie disliking the way Austin has been behaving around people. These two tweets were after the nom reveal, so I can only assume that noms were shown (resulting in the Jenna ugly thing)and Austin went nuts (resulting in Bobby and Stevie saying that).

We didn't see tonight if they were in bed at the end of the HLs, maybe they weren't as twitter has pretty much pointed everything at them not talking at all today, resulting in James' nom.

Either way, I really do think James likes Austin as a friend and has confronted his behaviour, maybe he finally gave up. I don't think it was all for show. It's an interesting dynamic now if they were told who nommed who. Because IF James nommed Austin and that's it, I really don't see Austin ever letting that go, and James will feel awful if Austin gets evicted on Tuesday, I am sure of it.

I want to see what they are doing at the moment, don't think in Austin's eyes, there is any going back from it if it was a one way nomination.

I see that you ignored and cut out the rest of my post to make your point more valid, but whatever

Agreed.

I'm sorry for snipping your post ( which was well constructed )

I just wanted to address the particular point of you not understanding why anyone would think badly of James for nominating Austin

From the BOTS clip...

Jenna's nom- "I don't have respect for people who fake their way through life" (talking about a girl). And another one..."he's insensitive, he's cruel and he does not care"

Bobby's nom- "I don't find her as sincere as some people find her"

Austin's nom- "He gets on my nerves, he knows that, but yet he does nothing to change it, and it's driving me up the bloody wall"

Natasha's- Says one thing to my face but another thing behind my back

Sherrie- she has a powerful conversation and personality which is overpowering

Clovie- He's very forward and too stern and in your face

James- The way he is treating people and the way he goes off isn't acceptable

Janice- She gets in the mix and is very confrontational

That in bold is the one I'd like to figure out, I'm certain it's Bobby

The self-righteous bullsh"t with which James is going to attempt to justify this is going to be difficult to bear.

Yep

It will be his biggest blag yet
