Default Could James turn this around

Please don't get me wrong, personally I think the guy is a grade 'A' dick, but lately he seems to be growing on me. He has resigned himself to the fact that he is unpopular and has seemingly decided to go headlong into ripping the scammers of the show apart.

If you look at his new game plan, instead of being a dick towards everyone, he is befriending the cheered HM's like gary and George, and is ripping into the boo'ed ones like Kelly. His masterplan seems to be effecting the way he is edited, so I can see him staying a bit longer because when he makes these conflict moments due to his nature, it provides BB with great tv.

He also seems very neutral to the HM's that have not yet been tested by the cheers or boo's until he knows which way the wind blows. There is more to this guy than meets the eye.

He is doing a Helen but I doubt he will win. He might actually make the finals and Ive had a few quid on just that case scenario at very good odds I may add.

He's a good housemate but unfortunately a complete dick. He deserves to be in the final on how much of a dick he is. If ever an utter dick deserved to be in the final, James is that dick.

is is my exact point. He is making the show watchable for all the wrong reason but its fun to see him dissect the likes of kellie on national TV.

Wether you like him or not he has been a big part of cbb, mainly negative but still a big part so for that he does deserve to be in the final, not a winner though imo.
Am sure some will be swayed by the new game plan but dont think it will be long before that slips if someone ruffles his over inflated ego.

Well said. I agree that he is now reining in his previously appalling bullying behaviour and has started to 'bond' with Gary. However, this has only happened as a result of him realising how popular Gary is with the viewers, and also after it has probably dawned on him that his bullying of Gary was just why he received so many boos and jeers.

It's all fake and the CBB bull sh!t machine is in over drive.

Whatever your thoughts on Kelly, she can see right through the opaque personality of Bully Elliot.

I believe James has always liked Gary, and even though he annoyed the hell out of him, he was the only one who spent time with him and tried to help him, whereas the others (except Frenchy) stayed well out of his way. There was always a bond there, even if it was a dysfunctional one. Now, I think James has gotten used to Gary's ways and Gary has changed some of his bad habits too and settled down, so the bond has naturally gotten stronger. I love their relationship.

He's not stupid, so if he plays the game properly, he could definitely turn it around.

I still don't like him.

This.

He will always be a passive aggressive prick though.

If Helen won, anyone can win. It seems that the winner of Big Brother has become pointless.

Exactly...in fact if James or Dee won after Helens win, it would not bode well for BB.

I might add that he has given us entertainment albeit to the detriment of others...he will without doubt be in the final but I hope to god we don't crown another vile bully.

He's getting so much inside help from CBB he would have been dead and buried now if they hadn't pulled him to one side, what you are seeing now is the fake side and as someone else said- " What change?"

Still odious under the thin veneer of smarminess

All he is doing is sucking up a bit more to people who were cheered and picking more on people he perceives the public dislike due to boos. He is a vile individual and I hope once bb is over we never see him on British TV again. I don't like Kelly but in no way did she or frenchy deserve what James did during the puppet task.

He makes quite a good "panto style villain" the sort you love to boo at, dont mind if he stays till the end, but dont think he deserves to win.

I think he thinks he is some sort of God. I loved how Kellie spoke to him in the garden and when he was in the diary room he wanted to grind her into burger meat. He is great entertainment and he will definitely make the final. However under that veneer is a very ugly human being with no redeeming qualities.

Yes I think he can turn it around. I like his relationship with Gary, they do seem to be friends. Let's face it James was the only one with enough backbone to tell Gary to shower and do his teeth. James biggest problem is that he comes over as abrasive and competitive.
