Seems JJ1 is following my "rough guide to winning" to the letter. He really really really wants to win, and his behaviour with Josie is manipulative beyond belief. She has told him she thinks of him in a romantic way, and NOT as a brother and sister, and he bloody well knows it. So why is he leading her on FFS? Laura told Josie what he said in the diary room, and he completely lied to Josie about the actual conversation. The "brother and sister" speech in the diary room was much earlier.

On Tuesday night in the bedroom JJ and Josie have been talking for 2 hours and 57 minutes

Josie: "You have not got feelings for me, I've got feelings for you"

JJ: "Do you?"

Josie: "Yeah"

JJ: "What kind of feelings?"

Josie: "I can't really explain it"

JJ: "Tell me, tell me"

Josie: "About what?"

JJ: "About the situation"

Josie: "You're my friend, I'm your friend that's that.
"Like, alright. When you were in the task room."

JJ: "Yeah"

Josie: "I couldn't wait to get you out of there, I couldn't wait, hated it, I hated it.
Say if I haven't seen you, say if I haven't seen you all day, then later when I find you
again I get like butterflies a little bit"

JJ: "How do you know if they're real?"

Josie: "Dunno, nothing's real in here is it?"

JJ: "I don't know".

Josie: "I've made a bit of a prat out of myself while I've been here..."

JJ: "No you haven't, why have you?"

Josie: "Oh my god it's just, John I said to Caoimhe, I said I think I really do like John and then
you came out from the task room and I couldn't even bloody look at you because I was like
I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me...."

JJ: "you wanted what?"

Josie: "I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me, I wanted to get out of here. I couldn't hardly talk
to you, I couldn't even look you in the eye, and I was like a bag of nerves, I were like shaking. That's
what I mean I wanted, like I wanted to get out of here. I was more nervous at how you would react really.

JJ: "How I would react?"

Josie: "Probably the worst case scenario would be you'd probably look at me in disgust and not wanna hang around me.

JJ: "Why didn't you ever discuss it?"

Josie: "Because we're friends, I don't think "oh yeah", and have sex with you and stuff like that, I just love being
around you".


On Tuesday night in the diary room:

BB: "Hello John James"

JJ: "Just the whole me and Josie thing going on. She's told me she may have
feelings for me and I'm not sure how to deal with the situation. But I guess
you could say I have got feelings for her too because obviously I was worried
about being in the house if I was not talking to her so I guess I have got
feelings, but I'm not attracted to her, like I don't have those feelings. I've
never looked at her like that.

It puts me in a difficult situation, where I could, like, be accused of leading
someone on. She's embarrassed enough as it is. I care about her too much to
risk upsetting her."

BB: "How do you plan to deal with the situation with Josie?"

JJ: "To leave the Big Brother House"

BB: "John James, why do you think you need to take that action?"

JJ: "Because I'm not sure what else to do.

BB: "Big Brother suggests that you don't make any rash decisions until you have
spoken to Josie and see how your morning pans out. In the meantime Big
Brother suggests that you get some sleep".

JJ: "Alright. I guess I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and sort of suss out
the situation, I guess".
BB: "John James, Josie is your friend and Big Brother is sure you can sort this
out together".

JJ: "Yes, you're right, I will suss out the situation though, but it's *****ing hard
though, really hard".


Got to hand it to him, this is one master game player and it's working a treat. Since the newbies have come in, he has "sussed the situation" and has now upped his game. Can't stand Josie, but I'm actually now feeling sorry for her.
