I have observed Judy James' pseudo analysis of the evictees of the BB house for weeks now and it always seems to me she gets it completely and entirely WRONG. It is like she does not watch the show at all. I think she is just ridiculous. When Karly was evicted she made out that Karly was very nice person but looks bitchy in her body language and this is why people evicted her. Eh, no! Karly was sly, devious and ganged up on Freddy with the bullies. Now she is a gold digger. She also made out in said episode that Freddy was really a bitchy character but he had positive body language and so that is why he stayed in. Absolute rubbish! This woman has a very dubious sense of morality in stating these things about Karly v Freddy and does not seem to have a clue of the notion of "cause and effect"..Freddy was a pure intentioned man from day one, the housemates out of a reversed snobbery ostracised and bullied him unprovoked, of their own volition (they had a choice to do this or not to and they revealed the essence of their characters in that moment as bullies). This is what bullies do. You do not have to be anything in particular for someone to behave unjustly towards you. Freddy in his so called bitching is reacting to the cruelty of people like Lisa, Kris, Karly, Charlie, Dogface etc...Judy is completely nuts and she seems to twist absolutely everything. It is the equivalent of watching a group of schoolyard bullies at secondary gang up on one of the more vulnerable and different kids and then rationalising their nasty behaviour and contriving the victim as the instigator and culprit. The woman is insensitive and embarassing..

Are yo a professional psychologist - or just an amateur one?

She's obviously not a psychologist as she's judging Judy Jones on a purely emotional and extremely subjective level when it's perfectly clear to me that Jones never made moral assumptions on any of the housemates. A psychologists job is to observe and analysis behaviour - their causes and eventual effect - and never to question their ethical values or lack thereof. To do so would obscure her rational, logical thought pattern when it concerns human behaviour.... it's was very apparent in the interview that she was trying to stay focused and not involve herself in too much emotion, allowing the analytical mind to take control.
That's the key to remaining impartial when commenting on human behaviour.

To attack her for overt bias is really laughable in my eyes. There's no hidden, vindictive agenda behind her comments..... and most of her insights were bang on the mark. She never questioned them on an ethical level -stating it they're bad or good - she just tried to give Freddie some insight as to why some people may have viewed him suspiciously. She wasn't condeming him or seeking to crucify him.... ridiculous to see it that way.

Well like I said she either patently does not watch the show and so develops these ludicrous and eccentric understandings on a situation completely detached from all contextual and narrative hints in the house itself or the implication is that she is simply unethical. It is not a matter of personal sentiment. If she is completely aware and clued into all facets of the situation and she considers Karly to be an 'awright bird' and Halfwit to be rather nasty but with innocuous body language then this is a profound misreading or unethical. She might not have forthrightly made any moral judgements but in her analysis she heavily intimates them ie. Karly was actually a good person who was misread by seemingly negative body language, Freddie was actually a nasty so and so who was misread by his positive body language. Everything is inverted in her reasoning from the truth of it all and the viewer fills in the lacunae in her logic to conclude certain moral things. To me, her analysis is profoundly dense and obtuse and had absolutely nothing to do with the character of either Freddy or Karly
