Not everyone has to constantly judge people, be argumentative and have opinions on everyone & everything and the way Big Brother has become, the way they go about their tasks and editing now fools the viewers into thinking those types of housemates are the only acceptable ones now.

I agree, the things we have seen of him have been really good, and I think it's more that the show prefers to show conflicts over other normal conversation type things which is why we've seen less of him than other people. He's just not the kind of character that would dominate a highlights show, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a character or is 'doing nothing'. I saw some of Bots yesterday and I thought Emma put it really well when she said you need people like him because you need light and shade and it's true, if everyone was running around shouting all the time then that would be tediously boring imo (in the same way that if everyone was like James it would also be boring), but one thing this series has been really good for is it's diversity in the cast and James' presence has added to that a lot.
