What makes you think he is distancing himself, don't you watch live feed? No distancing is occurring.

Distancing himself from him...they are closer then ever.

You would have thought so, but you never know.

Exactly this, so glad more people can see it but just shocked a lot more don't!!!!!

Yes, a few days ago he was absolutely livid with Austin, shouting at him and demanding to be left alone, you could see on his face how really he disliked Austin , so what does he do? Tells Austin to wear something sexy and get in the mantub.. And then nominates him the next day

James saves Janice for Chloe..... and the public kick Janice out at the first opportunity...but don't kick Austin out .I think James will be mulling that over tonight .

Exactly...only today Austin is running around the garden with James in a fireman lift...they have showered together...no distancing going on as far as I can see.

Dream on.

A few days ago Austin started being really awful to James, constantly demanding he justify himself, ganging up with Jenna.

James took the time, on many occasions to try and talk to him and to keep the friendship.

Austin took no notice and carried on being an atrocious arse and embarrassing himself.

You could see on Jame's face how disappointed and HURT James was by all this. He wasn't getting through.

So he nominated him. That bloody got through.

They are fine now.

I think James threw his "friends" under a bus because he calculated that it'd reflect well on him. He took the Bobby logic, that people will think it'd look brave.

Janice and Austin have said horrible things to each other, but James didn't seem that bothered about Janice's insults, only Austin's.

I'm not saying James isn't fond of Austin but I do think he'd rather get him out of the way for fear that he'd split his own vote and he used Austin's volatility as an excuse.

Austin's been a hothead and a loud-mouth since the series started. If James had such a big problem with it he could have nominated him from day 1.

It's exactly what happened

Nothing to do with it...Janice's time was up...

Hard to watch? Not at all. James didn't have a rictus like grin on his face, he was laughing. Didn't you hear him?

No it did not

They asked him to explain a very very dubious decision and he couldn't do it
So he tried his only tactic of controlling Austin, get in the man tub wear something sexy but don't talk to me again about my decision or we won't be friends, he played the same with Jenna massages etc
He knows Austin has fallen for him and he used that to manipulate him

James KNOWS Austin is popular and that James is his friend.

He knew that nomming Austin wouldn't be a popular thing to do, in the house or out of it. It took a lot of balls to do it. And I don't believe James did it strategically, he was angry and hurt and fed up, and he nommed the two people who were upsetting him, and who were NOT treating him as a friend.

"See on his face how much he disliked Austin"

Wow. That's quite hilarious. I'm not even going to entertain the idea to respond with coherence.

All I will say is I'm shocked that people still don't understand the reason James did it.

It's like me not reprimanding a friend who goes round calling people c**** and "stop spreading you legs you ****ing bitch".

James' reason for nominating Austin has NEVER changed and he has stuck by it. He did it because Austin's behaviour wasn't right.

But I think posters expect some sort of 3000 page essay.

Maybe I should write one. And type "I nominated Austin because of his terrible behaviour" 40,000 times?

So why do you think he really nominated Austin then? I think it's because he found him his biggest competition and very strange how Sherrie is now questioning James integrity about nominating Austin for eviction when he is the closest to him in the house!

Maybe

Well put...

So why do so many people think the same then, including Sherrie it seems?

So why is he cuddling Austin and literally kissing his arse? If he doesn't like him enough to want him in the house why is he sharing a bed?

He explained why he saved Janice - that he wanted Farrah out and wasn't ready to let Bobby go. He was also fed up with the way Austin was treating Janice, and used that as an excuse, hardly a hanging offense, especially with the poisonous Jenna constantly putting her oar in.

I'm sure he's gutted, as he did his best to engineer his eviction. But James was 100% a party to any "creepy sexual harassment" going on. It's what he wanted, and engineered in order to get screen time, and votes from the idiot public who thought the two of them were "just so cute together."

Sherrie realises there are only two days left to the final and thought she had better open her mouth that has been closed for so long.
