"Swagger off back to Australia"
 
:shocked: Jo, PLEASE speak up more often you absolute pearl of wisdom!

If only she was more vocal!!

Kazanne 05-08-2010 10:22 PM

She was great tonight and she has his number,lol,this could be good

AtomicKitty 05-08-2010 10:24 PM

She is awesome!

\PJ/ 05-08-2010 10:25 PM

slag mess ***** get her out.

Saph 05-08-2010 10:26 PM

Yay Jo :D

BigBrotherfan4ever 05-08-2010 10:27 PM

Yeah Jo was spot on about JJ tonight, i just wish that she would get shown more on the HL show more, cause i really like on LF.

Livia 05-08-2010 10:28 PM

Although, to play Devil's Advocate for a minute... wasn't she born in Africa? I imagine if someone told her to swagger off back to Africa she'd have thought it a bit offensive.

Julie10 05-08-2010 10:28 PM

She was shocked at his behaviour towards Rachel during the task then trying to act all concerned saying they didn't want to be locked up in the room for 24 hours and then being nasty about her behind her back calling her motormouth etc.

seanraff07 05-08-2010 10:30 PM

If only Jo would say this kind of stuff to John James face i'd like her a lot more than i do, still don't mind her though.

troy4783 05-08-2010 10:30 PM

she talks so much sense

Hero1 05-08-2010 10:31 PM

She was spot on, good on her, and with his attitude he deserved it, she may have been born in Africa, but she is not a freshy with an attitude like John James.

No, its just another way of telling somebody to go home if youre not happy. Its just that he comes from far away.

And she, as far as I know, has always lived here. So its not the same. He flew in days prior to launch.

MissKittyFantastico 05-08-2010 10:36 PM

Jo's been spot on a fair few times now, she needs to get stuck in a bit more and then she'll go up even more in my estimation. That line was a classic!

Julie10 05-08-2010 10:45 PM

He swaggered in and took the place of a British fan. And look at the disgusting way hes behaved. I bet he wouldn't behave like that in the Australian BB house but comes over here and behaves in a very hateful and disrepectful arrogant way. So he deserves that.
I am sure she would have said that regardless of who it was.

The very same thought occured to me

But I recognised it as spurious instantly. But I knew someone else would think likewise.

Well we should all know by now that political correctness is applied selectively in this country.

Livia!....You are a very naughty girl!!...That sort thread is boring and unproductive!!.....Now go straight to bed my girl!! :nono:

headaball 05-08-2010 10:58 PM

Her line about John James thinking he's a mixture of Brad Pitt and Al Capone was brilliant too.

Jordan. 05-08-2010 10:58 PM

LOL quote of the night right there by Jo. :D

Jords 05-08-2010 10:59 PM

Haha that was great stuff by The Cougar! I want to see more of her.

Lucy. 05-08-2010 11:00 PM

Jo = 1
John James = -10

I did say I was playing Devil's Advocate! Just pointing out the obvious for the sake of the debate, you know. Personally I'd be prepared to drive John James to the airport.

I'd say more of a cross between Brad Pitt and Violet Elizabeth Bott.

b7515 05-08-2010 11:02 PM

I think the big difference is that John James does actually come from Australia, still lives there and everyone knows it.

The sticky point is often when, for example, a british born person or someone who considers Britain their home is told to "go back to Africa" - which is clearly a racist jibe.

Also, she didn't speak like Australia was hell on earth.

Telling Josie to "waddle back to Bristol" would be racist to no one. Australia is the same in this instance.

That's very sweet of you, and I know this may be hard to believe, me being a girl and all... but I can read a map. Come along to wave a hanky though, if you like. If there are two of us there's more chance we can bundle him on the plane if he changes his mind.

Or it's just applied wrongly.One just knew someone would draw attention to what she said and play "devil's advocate" (to be fair).

He was being an annoying little snot for some reason.

Yeah, maybe. But it is a forum, and a whole thread saying how brilliant the comment was, I thought I'd give a different perspective!

Now I'm going to take your advice and go to bed. I might have a long drive to the airport tomorrow night, finger's crossed. I'll pick you up.

Entirely predictable. I might have posted it myself.

I think he said he was turned down for BB Aus house.

No wonder. He is a naturally bad tempered creature and you can tell that by the set of his face. A face shows a persons character.

fizzy 05-08-2010 11:25 PM

she's prolly the nicest & most genuine in there

I feel like you have taken issue. It's just a debate. To play Devil's Advocate means you say things you don't necessarily agree with for the sake of the debate. That's how it works. I'm sure you know that.

my thoughts exactly but as JJ1 is everyone's whipping boy this week its hailed as a 'genuis comment' ... didnt Jade and Co get into trouble for saying something similar to Shilpa??
