Don't blame it on them/josie. I was a josie fan and knew about her dad. It was really hard for me not to say something when all the hate came in, but I didn't cos I respected her choice to do things under her own steam.

Blame the fans, if anyone.

But DON'T blame Josie or her family.

BTW she told keely her brother was deaf, anyone know if that's true?

This.

It was alright for sunshine & corin but not alright for josie. and josie wasn't even the one who brought it up, unlike those two that made big announcements thinking theirs was the most harrowing story/they were the biggest victim.

Josie has NEVER tried to play on her past.

In fact, I think she fears it will turn her into jade goody. ANd RIP Jade, but Josie is better than that.

They haven't and they and you deserve respect for it.

Definitely after the sympathy vote! :sleep:

what.ev.er

The naivety of youth!

Don't you get it?

1. So what? Does this have anything to do with BB? No.
2. Stories, stories, stories, you only have stories, rumours hearsay to go on. You don't know Josie or her family.

If you feel sorry for Josie because of this then you're an idiot.

It is irrelevant.

What happens in the house is all you should be talking about, everything else is BS.

I'm not buying it - too convenient! And it has nothing to do with her behaviour in the house - it certainly doesn't excuse it! Why should such a 'revelation' affect 'the hate' - doesn't change anything!

And she has been doing it under JJs steam, more than her own! :sleep:

WOMBAI - Just because you don't like Josie doesn't mean you have to act a heartless bitch about her family situation.

I supported Josie without knowing this fact until now, so it does make me warm to her even more. I love a sympathy story, so long as there's more substance to the HM than a sympathy story (looking at you, Steve). I'd like to hear Corin and Josie talk about it more, maybe with each other.

Well I mean yeah, but it's okay for people to tell others about when their dad died or when their friend died. Some people may actually like to talk about it with people they become close to, to share that very personal thing with them.

well I've gone off her, but am back into her again.

I went off her when she went a bit psycho over keeley re: cleaning, when she made keeley her puppet. that scared me :eek:

That's uncalled for!

It has nothing to do with her as a hm! It will clearly get her the sympathy vote now by some - predictable as ever! It happens every year!

Although it is a sad story - in my eyes, it doesn't compare with Steve's situation - and look how nasty people have been to him! So please don't single me out! :nono:

Yes, but it's not Josie's fault is it. She has not gone around telling people. Steve is totally different, because his sob story is obvious. And let's face it, what else does Steve bring to the house apart from a sob story?

We don't know if Josie may have had anything to do with it - none of us know what people may have planned with family/friends before coming in. Not that I am saying that is the case - but it could be - we don't know!

And personally - I don't believe she brings anything to the house but jumping onto the 'fake' romance bandwagon! I prefer Steve's brand of boring to hers!

I am not even a Josie fan. They're both boring yes, but Steve on has a sob story, that is a fact.
