Several housemates commented on John James's argumentative nature last night, following his exchange with David over the gruel earlier.

John James objected to the way David handed out differently sized portions of gruel to housemates, much to the surprise of the minister, who told him to "stop looking for an argument".

Shortly afterwards, the pair made up in the bedroom, with John James explaining that he is getting annoyed with "people [in the house] that avoid conflict", citing Steve as a particular example.

After their argument, David spoke to Andrew about the situation. David asked: "Do you think I got off better in the argument? He's good at arguing, he does it for a living." Andrew replied: "I agreed with you. I'm scared of arguing with John."

Meanwhile, JJ spoke to Josie about the argument. Josie told him: "He used to do it with me. Then he realised what sort of person I was. Sometimes he's just got to have a row." JJ later said: "That argument was pointless."

Later, Jo spoke to Mario and Steve about her annoyance with John James's arguments. She felt that because of her friendship with Josie, he wouldn't start one with her. She said: "I can't stand arrogance. How rude. I know I won't last with it."

She added: "He's got away with arrogance and arguments too much. He's always going in there [the Diary Room], effing and blinding about this and that. It's starting to grate on me. Arrogance and bad manners rile me up."
