The only thing is I could definitely see him voting out Zakiyah for Natalie and to be in her good graces.

Natalie's pushing the fact that she pretty much blew up her entire game tonight and all the things that Paulie said about her (which James definitely isn't thrilled about), Michelle is pushing the America angle and how they're the underdogs and America would love to see the care package get used in a way like this (this really is the way to appeal to James's ethos since he cares more about AFP than actually winning), and Bridgette's being sensible and actually listening to and trying to understand and mediate his dilemma instead of blatantly pushing an agenda like the entire house pretty much did.
James is at a crossroads between in-house protection and public image. He definitely knows that the move America wants to see would be for him to stick to the plan and take out Zakiyah, but he's also scared ****less (not as much as Nicole but pretty close) about Corey/Nicole/Paulie all being pissed at him and targeting him immediately. He either has to give up his safe position with The House (which literally is three people at this point, mind you) or give up any possibility of being America's Favorite Player.
