Really? She wasn't that interesting.

zzz

OK said it was on in April but John just tweeted that link so god knows. I want April,I have no patience.

Excited about this ! Its a six part series by the way :D

joy.

Nah it's not,they told people it was a three part series,I can't for the life of me remember where though,some PA or other.

*_*

Without a doubt two of the most inherently rotten, bullying, hypocritical, incoherent, amoral, nasty hms of all 11 series of BB. Should be hilarious, this, actually.

I thought Leigh Francis had given up the Bo Selecta characters

Really?

What about Jade in cbb7?

Or Alexandra in bb9?

Or Dennis spitting in someones face?

Your judgment of character is laughable.

why this and shabbys program if they ant interested in bringing bb back the must be bringing it back !!!

u wouldnt want ex hm havin programs on your channel if you didnt think bb was good

At least them 3 you just mentioned provided some form of entertainment.

Who is this woman? What's she done to warrant a TV show

I know I'm 100% bias but I honestly don't see why people don't like Josie,John I can kind of understand from a highlight viewer's perspective but what did Josie ever do? People like her,she got a telly show,no one is being forced to watch it.

Lie on her back and suck her thumb ?

Entertainment value in BB is generally subjective. A housemate one person can find boring, another can find entertaining.

:puzzled: I don't recognise that over-the-top description of those housemates in the slightest.

I had a bellyful of watching the JJ&J show last year when I had actually tuned in to watch BB11:mad: How many more hours of pointless, innane television are they going to be responsible for?

But I'm all for freedom of choice - if people want to waste several more hours of their lives watching these two boring, talentless individuals that's their business.

You don't know me or anything about me or my friends of the characters I associate with so BIB - first off - keep your uninformed opinions of me to yourself, please, or I'll hit report.
Secondly, I thought all three were horrendous - mind Alexandra was such a caricature that she was almost just funny. You kind of knew where you stood, didn't you? As in, cross the road.

No, Josie is a whole lot worse than Alexandra, for my money. She's a complete and perfect example of a narcissist. The world revolves around her, she's prone to violence - admitted herself she battered her ex in the head with a baseball bat and was severely heavy handed with Sam a couple of times in the house - and the way she ostracised Caoimhe and then made herself look the victim was a masterclass in manipulation and bullying. She constantly, permanently contradicted herself. She tried to turn the house against Sam for saying she would sell stories about her relationship. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
She's done eff all since she walked out. Oh, and this week she has sunk new depths by almost any standard - and that's saying something. To sell the story of having an abortion AT THREE MONTHS FFS for money to OK Magazine - that bastion of exploitative drivel - is astonishing. Then to compound the matter, she turns herself into the victim (oh wait, where did we see THAT before?) and does a complete character assassination on her ex boyfriend, who she stayed with, by the way, for four or five years after he 'forced' her to have an abortion.
How anyone cannot see what a nasty, manipulative, false witch that one is is completely beyond me. And see that, I can do all this without personally insulting YOU.
And don't even get me started on the FAKE engagement pictures, the MYTHICAL three stone weight loss and the PISSED AS A FART turn on Celebrity Juice.
She's a fascinating example of the very worst of zelebrity culture. The epitome of it.

Have to agree with all of this - she actually is a vile human being and I'm gobsmacked that, despite her overt manipulative and spiteful behaviour in the house, she has any following at all. Her jolly country yokel persona has certainly done the job for her. But it's not for nothing that she can't get a visa to visit Australia(according to John James). She probably has criminal convictions, and these days they're fussy about who they let in to their country.

Good post, Patsy. You were more or less challenged, though goodness knows why? as you are entitled to your views as to why you find Josie G so awful, you came up with your reasons in a calm and reasonable manner, a very commendable post :thumbs:

I didn't realise Josie was refused a Visa to visit Australia? and as was pointed out, there are reasons for such. Also because I don't follow Josie's media shenanigans at all, I never knew about her blabbing to a magazine/s about an abortion. I actually dislike Josie G now, whereas before as BB11 had finished and I didn't need to take any notice of her 'I'm not a celebrity' media attention seeking antics, I paid her no heed, and became somewhat neutral about her.

I got this from a post by James about an interview that John James had with an Australian newspaper.

John James says Josie doesn't have "enough points". Now I know for a fact that unless you have certain criminal convictions you will not be denied a tourist visa at least, and it does seem odd that, considering John James is supposedly head over heels in love with Josie and is very close to his mum, that he has not taken his beloved to Oz to meet his friends and family.

You only need a certain amount of "points" if you are considering working and living in Australia.

Thank you for explaining, Angus :) I sometimes watch a programme on one of the main channels where it shows how Airline policies work, and one is about visitors to Australia, and those who are refused entry there, it is interesting how if it is some time back that some trying to gain entry have had their convictions, have now turned over a new leaf/moved on, are allowed in sometimes, depending on those past convictions, but nine times out of ten if convictions are as recent as say the past two years they are not always but usually refused entry. I can't help wondering why Josie would have been refused a Visa/entry? I have to admit the curious side of me would love to know.

Can't say I'm overly interested in this show but then again unless it's someone I really, really like I don't watch those fly-on-the-wall type programmes. Good luck to her though

You will "Hit report"?

Your melow dramatic and need to chill out.

This response makes you look seriously angry and irate.

Report me for that.

:conf::conf::conf::conf::conf::conf::conf: :joker:

(Better 'angry and irate' than .... oh, I give up ... I have just lost the will to ......................................... )

When she was in Big Brother she talked (it was on live feed) about having been offered the chance a while ago to work in Australia. That was before Big Brother. I am sure that is what he meant in that interview, he wasn't talking about a tourist visa. They're much more strict about giving visas if you are planning to stay and work. You've just made out of nowhere that she has criminal convictions that means she can't get a tourist visa.

I think most people that watched Big Brother, and from what I've read, the people that have met her since, would say she has a good-natured personality. As far a calling her - or any Big Brother housemate - a 'vile human being' I think a sense of perspective is required? Big Brother was a show in which a group of people lived in a house for three months. I'd say it is pretty difficult to do anything in that environment which is bad enough to deserve that description. It has to be said that a by-product of the format of the show was some bizarre over-the-top judgements and hatreds of certain housemates. They are having their every-move analysed be viewers and the HMs are often being criticised for what is perfectly normal, everyday behaviour.

This I agree with 100%. I won't deny that there have been HMs that I disliked over the years but the hatred some people seem to have for their chosen HMs, is, at times, ridiculous. Everything is magnified and every sentence scrutinized and I would say that most are just normal people who maybe act a bit more irritated at times which I put down to the living conditions, being in a small space for months on end, with people you barely know and/or dislike. If I was in that situation I would probably snap and I bet people would hate me:laugh:

Everyone I know who have met Josie(and John) have said they're lovely people and go far and beyond to give enough time to their fans and make sure everyone gets what they want. Sure they've made feck loads of money out of being in a house for a few months but honestly I don't see anyone who would turn down money for anything they've done. They're not fricking monsters,they're just lucky BB contestants who seem to get hated on for some unwarranted reasons.

I actually said in my post that "unless you have certain criminal convictions" you will not be refused a tourist visa which I believe allows you to stay for 3 months on a visit/holiday, and I speculated why John James has not taken her back to Oz with him to introduce her to his friends and family.

I don't "hate" Josie, she's not worth my hatred. However, I thoroughly despise her and my use of the adjective "vile" by the usual definitions is, in my opinion, a perfect description for Josie (offensive to the senses or sensibilities; repulsive; disgusting; cheap; worthless;degrading; low; mean). The fact that you have an opposite opinion is of course, your prerogative.

The HMs put themselves up for public scrutiny and criticism and I would disagree that some of their behaviour was "normal and everyday" - at least not to me. I disliked Josie's manipulation of every situation, portraying herself as a victim, and guilt tripping others; I despised her spitefulness, her blatant lies, her falseness and faux humility, when she is clearly a very egotistical person. You and many others may have viewed her very differently, but I am not alone in my analysis of her character. The whole point of Big Brother is that it is essentially a popularity contest is it not? In other words the viewers are invited to "like or dislike" the HMs. However, the way the whole show was centred around the "romance" deprived other, in my opinion, more worthy HMs, of more airtime and therefore more opportunity for the viewers to get to know them.

The whole business of Josie being handed a place in the final (thereby avoiding the vote that week), and then the way the voting was changed in the final elimination was all designed to eliminate any serious competition, and put through the boring people like Dave, Andrew, JJ2 and Mario, none of whom had any chance against Endemol's chosen winner. Just look how she crumbled in the CBB house when she didn't have her lapdogs around. It made a mockery of BB11 when she so casually threw away such an opportunity - seems you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

As regards criminal convictions - I have no idea whether Josie has any, but I am entitled to speculate whether she does or not, and would not be at all surprised to learn that she has, bearing in mind she was quite happy to give her ex a battering.

I have no intention of further justifying my opinions of Josie since I, like you and every other viewer, formed those opinions through observing her behaviour. It all depends on the interpretation.

Judgemental much?

Oh yes ... absolutely ... if there were a bit more judging going on there would also be much less illiteracy ... don't knock it until you have tried it ... :dance:

Of course, just as you have judged Josie to be a nice person. Each to their own opinion or are you judging others' opinions to be less valid than your own?

I take her as i see.

I do not dig out her past or assume she has got criminal convictions.

I dont like my girls clean cut anyway, I like a real girl with personality and imperfections.

You cant deny that shes the most succesfull bb housemate since bb8.

She is gonna be around for a while so get used to it.

i dont no if it will be good, but i will watch.

Loving the "Scream 4" pic :p

I don't need to "get used to it" my dear - she doesn't impinge on the world at all in any way, only for those who actively seek her out. She's remarkably easy to ignore otherwise, and for me that's the one positive thing I can say about her:hugesmile:

i no!! its quite epic :D 29 days...

There's nothing about her :bored:
