It just shows that a shaved head for Austin is nothing more than another trendy haircut, and in this case a convenient attempt to try to gain points with the public.

I would have blown up with the inquisition from those 2 but he merely got irritated and said enough is enough, that they were just going over the same ground, and got up and walked away. He handled the situation with dignity and maturity as usual.
Jenna was being a deluded twit and Austin was the one red faced with temper.
James has HER measure - he saved Janice over her, didn't he?

It only shows what you want it to. He gave his reason for it and I have no reason to disbelieve or argue with that, people who do so are searching for alternatives to make him look ungenuine.

It just struck me that every word of that could also apply to James saving Janice yet I believe you think James wasn't genuine. lol

No you're absolutely correct. It could also apply as to whether Chloe is fake, her relationship with Stevi is fake etc etc. At the end of the day people believe what they want to believe the majority of the time.

I have my reasons for believing that James is all about impressing the public though. He was very different on The Apprentice and had no clue how to be calm and collected or walk away from any type of argument. He's been playing the 'good guy' role since the start and is keeping his act up well. This just adds to his gameplay.

I can see your point. As I have never seen him on the apprentice, I don't have that bias.

However, after reading the spoilers for tonight. I think Jame's 'shadiness' is becoming clear. I don't think James ever saw Austin as a good friend...at least not in the same way that Austin took it (or we took it, for that matter)...and when Austin was attempting to make more of their relationship, James needed to nip it in the bud, and that's why he told him that they didn't really know each other.

I suspect, now, that James made the best of being stuck in the house and had fun with Austin, when he could...but he really hates Austin's 'bitchy' side....and if they were not in the house, he would have dropped him the first time he saw Austin go 'off' on someone.
