one minute i think Austin is quite real as he does say things to peoples faces, then i think of him running to dfferent groups and tittle tattling, and the headshaving seemed fake, then i think James has always been straight on the line, seems decent and honest but has lately seem to want to come over holier than thou and preachy and stab Austin in the back...
are they both as bad as each other?

Or alternatively they're both very competitive contestants on a RTV show and doing whatever they feel they need to do to try and win.

well , there's that but that would be being sensible....

My sincere apologies.

theyd have to kick us out for breaking the rules!

They are both playing the game....I like that.

Yes. Although Austin lost it and showed himself up (forgetting his role in temper) whereas James is still in player mode.

Looking at the live feed for me I was let down by how easily James allowed Austin to bring him back to bed and once there both flirted like mad with Austin touching James as much as he could. Nothing wrong with that, they can do what they want, etc etc. however given they had the most almighty battle and all the things done and said I was amazed that James didn't stand his ground one tiny itsy bitsy bit. So, yes I'm confused

I like there friendship...and if Austin touches James in a flirty way and James does not mind....then who the hell should care.

I think they truly think a lot of the other. They are good friends. I don't think either have a gameplan to fake a friendship.

But with friends, a lot of things are thrown at you, especially in the BB house. Austin has lost his temper many times, his friend pulls him up on it, Austin continues, James noms him, he loses it further. But they clear it up all the time and it's done.

I bet you if it was 2 girls they would be tearing each others hair out by now. Jermaine Jackson said it in CBB5, "males bonding is natural" in response to Dirk's "Hey, are we bonding?".

I really think with males, you can have as many arguments, but you will always get over it.

No-one. It just shows that James' principles aren't what he cracks them up to be. I now think they are both as bad as each other whereas I believed James before. Now I don't so much.

They are as bad as each other, only James is worse.

He's the bigger gameplayer, certainly. And the more cynical of the two. I don't particularly like either of them and I'm a bit mystified at their popularity and the number of threads they generate.

Why because they flirt and are touchy...

I find it difficult to preach to the converted.

Then do not bother.

By that stage he'd already gotten what he wanted - the chance to grandstand for the cameras. Once the big performance was out of the way he went back to resting mode

If Austin is playing a game or acting he's not doing it very well. James on the other hand...

They both are Fakey Fakersons. They have no friendship. They're both just attention-seekers who've made up this fake friendship-romance to get the voters backing. And sadly, it's worked a charm.
