I forget he's in there sometimes
 

For someone who is the favourite to win, I find it interesting just how forgettable James is.

I'm watching last night's show, and until his random conversation with Jenna (around 15 minutes in), I failed to remember he was even in there. I felt similar when he appeared during the conversation where Natasha felt she was being ganged up on by the Americans.

Do you agree? Does James play into the dynamic of this season entirely well? Does he deserve to be favourite to win?

Nah, he's boring

I'm finding him more likeable than I expected, but yeah I can't say I find him especially entertaining.

I don't get why he's favourite, he isn't exactly centre of attention, doesn't say a lot and I find him pretty boring.

He looks very nice laying in the bath.

He's one of the main 'characters' though, he's always perched on the highlights and live feed.

He's interesting, nice and fun and for me he's the best to watch.

James to win :love:

Question and answer :hehe:

I like him more than I expected to!

I really don't like this "people only like him because he's hot" thing, why would he be my favourite, a straight guy if this was the case?.

I like James, a very cool guy.. He hasn't been a dick or a twat and he handles arguments really well. He may not be the most entertaining but saying that.. aggressive/vileness/argumentative etc is what people claim to be entertaining these days.

Quite boring when Farrah isn't gracing him with some air time. Gail > James

He gets way more of a variety of air time than her, his isn't just constant, repetitive rowing and insulting people.

I dont understand his fanbase either. Its not just the bookies, he's topping the polls too. But I guess its just a lack of competition really!

He's a nice guy, very level headed and he stands up for himself. If you watch live feed then you'll know he's also a lot of fun. I also love his close friendship with Austin.

He is marginally better than Sherrie!

He features more than most UK people, and unlike the other UK people, he features not only when in a row. Also, he comes across extremely well on Live Feed.

He's my favourite because he can calmly stand up to Farrah, but then spends the majority of the time having a laugh. Whereas a lot of the others spend the majority of the time either moaning, crying, having a row, shouting or moaning about a previous shouting match.

Farrah only gets her airtime on her screaming like a banshee. He doesn't need that.

theres male lawyers getting struck off for saying stuff like that lol

He's been one of the dullest housemates this series for me, I'm baffled by his support but I imagine the majority of it comes from the 'fit innit' brigade that likes to troll the show these days, nothing more, nothing less, which ironically could be the tagline for his 'personality'.

What you find boring, others don't. I'm certainly not trolling and am not a member of 'eez fit' or would have stanned people like John James :hee:

I'd say the people who support bullies and ***** like Helen and get her to win are the biggest trolls.

James is normal and likeable and actually featured a lot behind the 3 obvious ones so people need to stop questioning his support.

:clap1:

He's only in there 'cus he's got a nice bod. He brings nothing else to the house.

tbh

lmao now now.

I didn't say everyone that supports him are trolls, just the ones that vote for people based purely on how they look, if you want to support him because of the way you perceive his 'personality' then crack on, but the majority of people who like probably only like his aesthetic 'appeal'

His personality is friendly, warm, up for a laugh, interesting and funny, to me. Believe me all you want but I can promise you now I wold NOT be stanning him if I didn't like his personality.
