I think john James is portrayed badly. Is no-one taking into consideration that he is from another country where there may be different values.
On the channel 4 site at the moment it implies that Josie was one in power to give forgiveness but she was the one that insulted him. And because John James views her as his best friend he feels betrayed when she insults him. The fact that steve said it first is irrelevant as John James (and any normal person) would expect their best friend to be more loyal to them than any other person. (It is not weakness on the part of John James that he didn't pick up on steve insulting him because he doesn't consider Steve his best friend). Josie was in the wrong, Josie gave out an insult, and John james responded out of feeling betrayed.
From what i see John James used to get easily annoyed and break into arguments (with Rachel) but he realised what he was doing and changed. I think everyone believes he argues because he is judged by his looks to be an over-opinionated bullying man. But that isn't the case he never used to look that way, people seem to have forgotten that he said himself he used to be teased by the popular girls for being too skinny, and i think he changed the way he looked to make himself more widely (to public eye) attractive.
The fact that big brother portray him as a bully is hugely annoying, Davina was never able to state her opinion on the housemates but since being a big mouth presenter she has become more opinionated.

Josie on the other hand seems to pick and choose when she is insulted by things based on random events. She insulted him this time out of Jealousy of Keeley (who she believed John James had started flirting with) which isn't good but understandable (she has issues just as john james has). However her lying at him is an insult and is particularly bad when you realise how loyal John James is. Josie laughing is also insulting and rude baring in mind she would finds just a bad stare to be insulting. (Another thing misread in John James, he is from Australia, sun means squinting and low eyebrows, he looks like he is giving a bad stare because he lives in a sunny country).
I really want to like Josie more because she can be funny, but if she continues as she is with john james I will dislike her more and more.

I really hope they sort their issues out, both of them, but my opinion of Josie has dropped alot.
