What's with all the self-pitying?
 

His talking about Austin having no respect for him, yet when does he actually respect Austin? Austin clearly doesn't like certain people in there yet he always sides against Austin despite Austin being his friend and having some valid points in his arguments even if he can get too aggressive sometimes.

And what was with the whole James and his suck up's conversation about “keep your friends close and your enemies closer?” Has he been using Austin all along then?

The only point that James has over Austin is that Austin shouldn't need Jenna to get involved in the arguments.

He has been stringing Austin along for the bromance storyline.

James is a snake, the only reason he saved Janice was so he could look good

I cannot make my mind up on James :conf: is he playing a game or genuine ? Either way I dont think he deserves to win

I think if there was any doubt before then that save thing proved he was. I mean he clearly gets on better with Bobby and he knew that Chloe would save her anyway so the only logic I can apply to it is that he thought it would make him look good to the viewers. I think he will actually win too booo

austin has emotionally invested in friendship with james, that's why he feels hurt and pain after betrayal and backstabbing. whereas for james it was just a game move. for james, i suspect austin was sctrictly strategical game play to gain gay votes.

The thing about James is that he instinctively knows to say the right thing at the right time. That's quite a talent. I am absolutely sure that he is 100% fake, he is telling the viewer what they want to hear. He is at the end of the day, a salesman, and that's coming through loud and clear. I hope he doesn't win, but he will take a bit of stopping I think

James is a master game player, but he's also a nice guy. It's like a game of chess and he's playing it beautifully. Almost as good as King Dexter, who was robbed that year. :cheer2:

He is genuine Chuff he tried twice yesterday with Austin and all Austin did was to fetch it back to Janice he's so upset that James like's Janice.
James to win :dance:

Sometimes i think he is, then in a minute my opinion can change

He's playing the game very well, i think there are genuine moments, and i believe he does like Austin as a friend, however i wouldn't trust him as far as i could throw him (and i have a bad shoulder at the moment:laugh:)

He's a master tactician and will probably go on to win it!

Hes odds on fav to win at 2/5 so it would take him killing someone to stop him IMO

Not worth me putting a bet on then:laugh:

Nah :nono: Don't bother !

I hope that somebody can stop this idiot.

We don't want another Pete Bennett scenario happens where an undeserving jerk takes the crown.

James is very close to his grandfather who he talks about being his mentor and always being there for him. He seems to have an affinity with older people a great deal of respect for them. I think in part he was genuine in picking Janice for Chloe's sake. That clip in the garden last night where Bobby was talking to Chloe about her reliance on Janice made me realize that James wasn't exaggerating and she really did need Janice around although we don't get to see that really.
I think it was also partly because of the way Austin had spoken to Janice earlier that day. Maybe he felt sorry for her or maybe it was a 'take that!' to Austin. Or maybe he wanted to be the hero. I think a combination of everything seems reasonable. There is rarely just one thought process that goes into any decision, more a mixture of reasons and emotions...
