Just here speculating on a theory I have with James nominating Aubrey.

James is a middle aged grown man and is having a closer relationship with Aubrey than with most others in the house. It can't be easy on James for striking a friendship with such a beautiful girl.

My guess is that he either fancies her or that perhaps she's filling a daughter figure role in his life and by nominating her, he's needing to mentally and emotionally push her away. Call him a game player or a snake, but he has a wife who I'm sure he loves very much (and to my belief, he's never had a daughter), so I doubt he'll ever talk about his real reasons for nominating her.

He nominated Aubrey not because he doesn't care for her, but possibly because he's afraid he cares too much. He doesn't want to get any closer to Aubrey and is afraid how that would look to the public eye and to his wife.

Thoughts?

clutching at straws and total BS...

Plain and simple, James didn't like the way he was being told by Aubrey which HMs he should be nominating next

James has disgraced himself anyone trying to defend him is bang out of order.

How lovely Skyrah, did you not get enough sleep?

On subject - I think his voting is tactical, maybe he wants to break up the 'other' clique and is doing so while everyone else focusses on the Bear/Lewis/Marnie clique.

OP was asking opinions & I gave them mine, nothing wrong in that

To break up any "Clique" one needs more than two guaranteed nominations for it to work. James didn't like the way Aubrey was playing the game and targeting other HMs, no hidden agenda

Why is when someone does against someone, it means they fancy them?
I feel like I am back at school sometimes with some peoples views on certain things

Disgraced himself for nominating another HM???

I don't care wot his reasons are. He's as entitled to nominate anyone he damn well likes as much as anybody else is!!!

He can nominate anyone he chooses and his reasons seemed valid enough to me.

I can never understand why folk get annoyed at being nominated and yet are quite happy to nominate other's and give their reasons why.

Whether you agree with his reasons or not, some do. Why are they bang out of order for agreeing with him?

Who was it that nominated James? Was it Katie? Was she bang out of order for doing so?

So he is bang out of order for nominating? Wow. Such an awful crime.
