:clap1:
I was pretty horrified at that. Basically it came across as if he was saying to Gemma that my Dad's funeral and my Mum's illness didn't affect me as emotionally as your treatment of ME! I doubt that is true, but it was a callous thing to do to use his parents death and illness to try to hurt someone else. Up until that point I thought his intentions with Darren's nomination could be genuine, but now I think he plays mind games to gain control over others. He's not only arrogant but ruthless too...

To tally agree....in fact by making that comment only emphasised his fakeness. Why would you cry over Gemma Collins who tbf hasn't exactly been nasty...and not cry at your fathers funeral or your mothers demise :shrug:

He is playing a massive game. Now he is being everyone's best mate in there.

I think it was a fair point. the man cares for his sick mother around the clock, that makes him a hero in my eyes. none of these other selfish muppets would bother, bully Collins cant even bend her gargantuan anus to pick up a cup

I think it just emphasised just how bad she had made him feel,he never once said he didn't care about his father,I think this is just another convenient stick to beat him with,we don't all cry at funerals,but we cry if someone pisses us off enough,we only see 45mins,he's with her 24/7

Wrong, he is indefatigable.

He could just have told her he rarely cries, end of story, but he used his own parents to make a big impact and make her feel awful. He was using emotional blackmail on her for his own ends.

not at all he was simply stating how he feels, or isn't a man allowed to do that?

I don't think John did anything wrong there, other than to get a point across in the best way he felt possible. Not crying at his Dad's funeral and his Mum's illness doesn't he doesn't care or even mean he didn't cry in private, just that he managed to hold those tears back in public, something many of us do I am sure. It isn't disrespect or point scoring for him to mention it, I have heard far far worse said in BBs. The point being missed with some I think is that John was saying in that house with cameras everywhere and nowhere to hide really, he found it hard to hold tears back when being attacked verbally by that moronic hag. Excuse my language, it is rare a BB contestant gets on my nerves so much, so goodness knows how John puts up with her.

I tend to agree with you.
I also don't see why he would let somebody he dislikes so much see how much they have hurt him for any other reason than to gain sympathy.
He was so horrible to Darren last night when he explained why he was hurt so much that he nominated him back. He totally dismissed him & even tried to make him seem like he was making too big a deal out of it.
Is John the only one allowed to be upset :shrug:

Yes, he's allowed, but it made him look like a callous, malicious, not to mention WEAK fool.
