The truth about their feelings for each other can be summed up easily - who would move half way around the world to live with the other? I've absolutely no doubt John James would give up his life in Australia for Josie, and absolutely no doubt that Josie wouldn't ever consider leaving Bristol to be with him.

And then john james has to spend the rest of the day apologising for trying to be honest as josie just laughs it off.


There is only one person leading the other on in this relationship - and it's not john james.

It's a shame Steve didn't stick to his promise and put her up instead of Andrew, Davina could have been waiting for her with a live rabbit and a boiling pan of water!!!... :D

I agree with all your observations .. JJ does at certain times seem frightened of Josie .. remember back in the bedroom, in the first week or so, I think it was, Josie put JJ in his place and had him in tears .. he's not as tuned in emotionally as she is and he's paying the price for that ..

I think he feels safe under the duvet but Josie invades his space anytime he tries to be alone and gather his thoughts in bed .. he's no match for Josie .. she's one tough cookie and is manipulating the life out of him.

Reminds me of the Marcus/Noirin situation last year - the way he tried to isolate her from the rest and make her dependent on him! She was a different kettle of fish though, far too strong - JJ though is a prime candidate as he appears to be an emotional mess!

JJ had said he wasn't physically attracted to her but loved her, and had affection for her like a sister. I think that when JJ first mentioned Josie in relation to sister he meant that his relationship with her seems natural and not strained. However i also think it is worth realising JJ doesn't have any siblings so his ideas of sibling love are not all there. His emotions for her have been increasing over time.



i have thought the same myself.

there doesn't need to be sexual attraction for love. And i think there has been a romantic increase because he hasn't mentioned the sister thing again, so he must feel stronger about her. I think the truth of the matter is they both aren't telling each other the truth.

He has said before that he doesn't like sex, so he may be an exception. Sure, where there are different feelings between the two it is not likely to work, but then they are both as bad as each other. Josie is in Lust, John is in Love. Josie doesn't really care for the feelings of John James she just wants a plaything. It is a shame she has tricked him.

This is the most disingenuous post on the forum and illustrates perfectly how JJ supporters can excuse the vilest and most manipulative of behaviours. You say John has no siblings and therefore doesn't know how to react to a sister -but even the dimmest idiot knows you don't fondle and caress your sister in the way that he does when he "doesn't want to lead her on" (his words). In the next breath, you say he's in love with her! Seems you're trying to cover all bases.:rolleyes: Dozy Josie is also a manipulative scheming cow, but that doesn't excuse the vileness of JJ's behaviour.

Johns behaviour in the kitchen when Josie tried to get a cuddle when he was sat on the table told me so much. He was uncomfortable with her trying to invade his space. He did try to cuddle her back and look like he had feelings for her but in the end his head flopped and his hands didn't want to respond to her and she knew it.

The look on her face was priceless. She was hurt, embarrassed and confused. You can tell she is so desperate to have a relationship with him to make herself look and feel good. Nothing wrong with that but when the person keeps giving you mixed messages when is it going to hit home.

He is pussyfooting about her because he just does not want to lose her friendship, and seems to like to have her to cling on too. He's quite emotionally un-balanced. She is aware of this and is dangling him like a puppet. He's obviously not as tuned in psycholigically, like Josie is!

Her true colours are showing and she is one manipulative woman, playing housemates against each other! Dangerous woman! John James should have kept on running out the fire exit!

Well he's told the whole of Britain time and time again that he does NOT fancy her, that he is NOT attracted to her, and that he sees her as a sister. Perhaps where he comes from it's fine to sleep in the same bed as your adult sister, kiss and cuddle her and whisper sweet nothings in her ear?

Well said, Mike!

I couldn't get over how cold and insensitive Josie was towards JohnJ when he was outside in the camera run. All she did was yell at him to stop making a show of her. She had no concern whatsoever for what he was feeling.

I saw a great similarity between that and her reaction to when Caoimhe was leaving. She did not even get up off her seat in the garden to join the other HM's in saying goodbye.

IMO, she is the most insensitive HM I've ever seen on BB.
