Rubbish...James knows that Austin will most probably not go.
It must've been tactical then

I've heard it all now.

I noticed that when Austin came out of the diary room in a mess Bobby did the right thing there, and I was never his fan. Then Sherrie and Natasha showed some compassion as well.

But James? No expression on his face. Still reeling out the predictable and cold salesman spiel about understanding Austin. Going by what darkness Austin was getting into in the diary room I very much doubt that James understands.
James was the cause of it and just sat back and watched. Says it all really.

It you recall Austin had just insulted him. He was not going to run up and give him hugs and kisses. To say James felt nothing is to misread the situation.

It was something between getting fed up with Austin's childish needy egotism, and seeing if he could find it within himself to forgive him.

I have no idea if Bobby was being genuine or not (my guess is that it was genuine) but he did not have the same emotional engagement with the situation as James. It was just another row to him.
I don't think you can say categorically that anyone is misreading the situation unless you are inhabiting James' head.

To me he looked completely blank, not concerned nor even disdainful, just completely utterly void of any feeling whatsoever.

James felt nothing for Austin when he saw him breaking down, even Natasha showed some compassion but James just sat there. He has used him and won't even care if he leaves tomorrow night as that means some of the competition is gone.
James knew it was fake and was not entertaining it.

James "I saved Janice because I know how much she means to Chloe" Hill.

Or maybe it was James "I saved Janice because I saw it as an opportunity for Stevi to step up and take control" Hill

Wonder which "genuine guy" nominated Austin.

If I was Austin I'd find it hard to resist the temptation to say to James during one of his 'Big I am' speeches if he'd prefer it if I left the room so he could talk directly to the camera himself.

I can't remember the last time a housemate had so many conversations that sounded like contrived, prepared speeches, made directly to the viewing public rather than the person he's actually talking to.

Everything is an Apprentice-style board room pitch. It's so transparent.
But people are lapping it up lol.

I think they can see how phony it is... they just don't want to face the truth that the baby faced cherub they've been cooing over all series is not the straight up nice guy they thought he was... he is a sneaky snake oil salesman who would sell his own 'Grandad' out

Exactly this, James sat there cold and calculating, what a player!

right or wrong, it takes a very hard heart not to offer comfort to someone in such distress. I've comforted people I don't like when they've been upset!

He killed two birds with one stone - ensured neither nominated him

Tactical , Austin was in the top 4
Nothing wrong with playing the game but own it James
Exactly. Even with saving Janice and saying it was for Chloe he got the fans of three people on side - Janice's, Stevi's and Chloe's. He's a good game player.

I really wish Chloe had pulled him up for saving Janice by saying she would like to have done so herself as a thank you. He took that from her.

swore on his granddad's life

someone check on his granddad please.
He probably swore on one that is already dead, not the one he goes on about all the time.

Oh I don't know I think I saw a flicker of fear that Austin's real emotions and real upset might have more impact on the viewers than his bogus moralising and pretense that he cares

It was funny at the end tonight. Austin knew James was getting rid of the competition and asked how being thrown out just before the final was for his own good? James patronized him with the old "I don't think you're going anywhere" rubbish and Austin asked but what if he does go tomorrow.? Ice cold and with a little smirk, James said, "Then you'll deserve it."

Someone said he was a Northern Patrick Bateman yesterday or the day before. It's funny because it's true (though also slightly scary)


If anything Austin is Patrick Bateman

If I was to ever act like Austin does, I would hope my friends told me straight.
Yes, tell your mate straight, but don't nominate him!

Austin is more like Bruce Banner. James is Bateman

I'm pretty sure James nominated Austin because he is sick to death of his bloody drama
And yet he didn't nominate Janice.?

As opposed to them secretly nominating you so you might get evicted? I agree
