It must've been tactical then
James Nominated Austin 'For His Own Good'

James was the cause of it and just sat back and watched. Says it all really.

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 knew it was fake and was not entertaining it.

Austin lost the plot....I like Austin but tonight he was wrong.
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.

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

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.

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."

Yes, tell your mate straight, but don't nominate him!

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