I bet he watched past seasons on YouTube or something because whenever someone asks a question about the show, he always seems to know the answer. Like just now he said 'They usually never go past putting 22 housemates in'.

A lot of people have missed the fact that he is an actual British citizen. He has dual citizenship since his parents are British, but he has lived in Australia for most of his life - hence the Australian accent and passport.

I'm sure he comes over here every once in a while to visit family, so I'm sure he would catch a few episodes of Big Brother. Even if he hasn't I would want to know what I'm putting myself up for...

Agree, for someone whos not too fussed on winning or not he sure as hell has done is research on the show, unless he watched the shows when they were aired at the time in Australia somehow.

On a side note he is winey bitch but due to the sheer amount of entertainment and storylines he has produced i do think he would be a worthy winnner. The show would be on its knees without him.

Now he's giving detailed stats about past viewing figures! Sorry, that goes way beyond somebody just watching to see what the shows about. He's obviously studied every aspect of BB UK in great detail.

Funny, in the first week he was pretending that he didnt even know how much the prize money was. Yeah right!

Absolute phoney. Here to win the prize money.

Yes if theyre a foreigner who has flown in and will fly out again straight after!

This is BB UK and shouldnt be won by some foreign mercenary. And a lying little bitch.

31-07-2010, 03:14 AM

Ikr, this is why I want him to win.

He said he reads alot on wikipedia LOL
I respect him for it, I mean fair play to him doing his research and he didn't even know he'd get in.

Although he is a little weak in some parts when it comes to BB Knowledge because he just said he thinks BB6 was the most successful series lol

But never the less, I think it's great and I love when he talks about it on Live Feed.
Something bloody interesting.

But BB AUS was axed in 2008 and his mum and stuff is British anyway.

I do agree with you but he is a good housemate and if he has a game plan and wants the money then fair enough, it is a game show.
I think he'll stay in the UK for abit, he wants to move here.

He is entitled to hold a British passport, I dont know whether he does or not. But he could hold one.

Zippy

31-07-2010, 03:32 AM

Thats just paper. He's not British and doesn't live here, never has. Thats the point.

I had no problem with foreigners like Nadia(portugeezer) and Rodrigo because they lived here and embraced the UK and used BB as part of that process.

But a cold, calculated gameplayer just flying in days before....nah, I dont like it at all.

And the final BB UK ever should be won by a Brit IMHO. Only fitting.

Yep, he watched BB10 probably on Youtube.

He was talking about Karly one day, haven't head him say he watched any other series' though.

Nope. Ive stated my reasons and if you dont get the difference then tough. Ive loved many foreigners on BB and Nadia is my all time fave so...I know Im not just being xenophobic.

He's a shipped in gameplayer. Thats my point and Im sticking with it!

I have a feeling he watched a bit more than BB10, I also have a feeling he has spent more than a couple of months every few years in the UK.

He sometimes lets himself down, asking Mario about the UK BB then lets rip with a few facts someone wouldnt know unless they had a deep interest in the show.

Who cares? He wont win.

He has openly said on Live Feed that he has researched BB and has watched it before and the HMs come to him alot and ask him questions about it.

He obviously asks Mario some stuff because Mario knows more than him.

His parents are from here so of course he has been here before, you're right.
He never said he didn't.

He could win actually, he is probably in the group of 4 that could win:

Andrew, John, Corin and Josie.

Yeah can see where you are coming from with that group Patrick, but I think Josie has next to no chance really.

Corin could if she doesnt blow it, I actually would put good money on a side bite for Jo, Steve still(depending what way Dave treats him over the next few days) or Andrew. Still havent decided about Sam yet.

The teenie boppers want him to win.
At this stage ,if youre putting money down ,the only thing that matters is who can knock him out?
The bookies think that the only current HM who can knock him out is Corin.
The reason they think this is money. People may give her the nod because she needs it more.
But the boppers will vote for their idol.
Unfortunatley a two horse race in the worst BB bar none.

John James also knows that people that get in arguements/relationships dont fare well....but that hasnt stopped him has it.It wasnt the best thing to say '**** the public' either but fortunatly people see someone who is not desperate to win and just being themselves.

He can name every housemate from last year and a whole lot more from other series.
And this is coming from a person who thought you had to shower naked and didn't think a foreigner could win.

Yeah the inconsistencies in his blabberings are hilarious. Just like his hypocrisies and contradictions.

As for him just being himself; sorry but a lot of his melodramas are clearly contrived. Pathetically obvious at times.

I don't know why people find it so difficult to comprehend that people outside the UK watch the UK Big Brother, myself included. He obviously wanted badly to be on A Big Brother (he auditioned for our version) and used his British ancestory to his advantage. If I were going to go on another countries BB I would do some research myself so there's no surprise that he can spout of different BB ''statistics'' here and there.

TBQH one of the strengths of the UK version is the diversity from having English,Welsh,Scottish and Irish housemates along with ''foreigners'' like John James or say Sree or Rodrigo from last year.

As far as I know he was born in Australia and I assume his parents have been had been here a long time (his Mum had a regular Aussie accent). He obviously has family in the UK (many anglo Australians do).

Zippy

31-07-2010, 01:03 PM

Its not news that he has watched the show. Thats been obvious from week one. But the more he yaps about it the more obvious it is how deeply he looked into the stats. I mean, Ive watched all 11 series(except most of BB9) but still know nothing about viewing figures and statty stuff. Just seems that he's studied it with a calculated eye. An eye to win and get some career out of it.

And its clear he's ticking the boxes on what to do to get airtime. He was itching for arguements in the first week. Poor Rachael was his victim but she wouldnt take his bait.
