You really cant see it?
Well as Austin was in the top 4 same as James, he probably thought Austin was liked and more popular than he himself (James), he isnt going to take a chance so he put him up for eviction hoping he will go. By James making his point that Austin shouldnt shout and be nasty to an older person he (James) is hoping the public will agree with his sneaky plan to out Austin. |

By the voting results, crowd reactions so far and the general pattern that are true with all shows with this type of structure he knows the bromance is going down well. So he has to distinguish himself from Austin at some point to increase his chances of winning so he's gone down the road of the white knight. Austin cannot help himself so easily fulfilled his villain role for him to play off against.
By nominating him (which I'm sure if seen in full, would have been accompanied by a heartfelt speech about what's right and sacrifice for greater good, like grandad etc) he is singling himself out as the honourable one of the two and hopefully increase potential of being loved by the GBP

by nominating Austin and he was being strategic, but 3 days earlier Austin was in the top 4 of 9, so that would lead you to believe that putting him up for nomination would be a wasted vote as clearly Austin is popular- where is the strategy in that?
James may have then thought that Austen has been a dick for a few days so I need to distance myself, but Helen Wood was a dick for 3 months, she won, Gary Busey was a pain for 5 weeks, he won, Heidi and Spencer were painful the whole series, they came second etc. So if James had watched the show, which I am sure he has, why would he think that putting up his "competition" would mean he would leave. The chances are he would stay, so not very strategic based on history. Obviously a double this week and only 4 to chose from, so 50/50. James has only had a problem with Austin since he found out he is popular now call that coincidence if you like, I am calling it game playing & that is what it is nothing pious about James, just a conniving, calculating, unscrupulous, knobhead who is partial to the Odd Earlobe

Having just caught up it is clear to me it is tactical, fair enough in a game?
James probably thinks there is a bit of a split in votes between himself and Austin, he comes across very machiavellian, he knew EXACTLY how Austin would react by nominating him, blow up and blow his chances whilst he sits calmly saying he did it for his own good etc making out there is some deep goodwill meaning behind it all, when he could have talked to him instead of trying to kick him out before the final. Austin went too far last night but I still hope he finishes above James. |

For all James knows is that Natasha could be his direct competition Stevie and Chloe could be his direct competition....James has no idea who his competition is.
Best friend after three weeks...get real. ![]() Sorry you don't like MY opinion but no need to get snappy or insulting with me. FYI I'm very real unlike James on the show. SO FAKE. |

Oh come on, James has been playing the game hard from the beginning. Now he's switched strategy for the final lap. Didn't you see him smirking, patronizing and enjoying seeing Austin realise he'd been played at the end of last nights show?

Rubbish - James is playing the game! He knows what he has to do and he gets down and does it when he has to.
He didn't know whether Austin was 1/4 or 4/4 in the top four (neither do we) and he well knows that the CBB viewing public change their minds like the wind. He wasn't going to risk alienating 'Nana', Bobby Davro or Natasha (I wouldn't like to be on the wrong side of her) - so it's obvious - Get Rid of the Opposition, starting with the Americans. He played the game in 'The Apprentice' to his detriment, but I for one am going to be very cross if he ends up being Top Dog this time. |

Poll Task
5.22pm: James is trying to figure out who might've accused him of wanting to win - and getting rid of the competition. Ooh |

Of course he is playing the game that is what he should be doing....but why would he put his own popularity at risk by nominating Austin.
At the end of the day Austin was being nasty and cruel...I still like Austin but James was right.

They have already rekindled there friendship...I believe that the house mates think Stevie and Chloe are the favourites to win.
If James thought Austin was so popular then James would have not nominated for fear of making himself unpopular. He went for Austin because he does see him as competition and this would get Stevi + Chloe's fans onside again as well as Janice's. He also did the 'feeling really sad about nominating his friend' bit in the hope that some of Austin's fans will understand as well. |

James wanted to distance himself so much he still sleeps in the same bed as Austin? You couldn't make this up!
