Someone on here just sadi Josie and JJames were showstoppers,really,I cant say I've noticed that and talking to people who just watch the programme son and off, they are sick of the pair of them and this fake romance nonsense that hogs all the BB ptogramming.
I cant think of more than a few instances where I ahve actually laughed at or enjoyed much of what JJames has done,In the early weeks Josie was a bundle of energy and was really funny too, she was a great housemate, I was really enjoying her hammering JJames when he insulted her size etc and she turned on him and really put him down.
Now however,the BB content is chronic, it is taken up by the most boting and false of ALL the BB romances,and it is clear that BB do manipulate the content to ensure who looks good or bad and it is also clear they want JJames or Josie to win, maybe some of the production team have Australian connections.
This BB has descended into the worst ever now, yet had so much promise,tasks like the GLEE task were really great,JJames didn't feature much there despite his so called good looks,they all were good in that with their efforts.
I also laughed at the IFE dance comtent too, and Shabby's and Caimhe's reaction to it,I laugh at Corin a lot,with her I'm buzzin and lovin it sayings and the best moment for me and I know others who dont even like Ben or Corin much was the night he played Goldfinger on the piano and she sang the SHIRLEY BASSEY song.
That was like something from old time music hall with the bad diva singer and her stright faced partner at the piano, they would make a great double act.

John James and Josie though are totally boring,thye have made this and when it is looked back on, it will be seen how they destroyed this last series of BB rather than help make it the best one or even a good one.

BB have from the start had a whipping boy as they had Freddie last time,this time it is BEN, and if BEN leaves this week then the show dies massiveley,there will be no living with John James who will think he cannot do any wrong at all after that.

Finally. punishments,no argument, every one else gets hammered for disobediance and rule breaking except 2 people.JJames and Josie. In past BB when arguments have started, both involved have often been called to the diary room and told to calm down, JJames has got away with saying some truly nasty foul mouthed things to at least 2 female housemates,he ATTACKED Sunshine, you can joke with people but once you lay your hands on them that constitutes a technical assault, if you then keep hold of them when they tell you to stop then it is an assault, he dragged that girl along the ground while she yelled stop, he tightened his grip more even when Mario went to help her.... his punishment ,say sorry to her!!!!
Josie swtched his and her microphones off for a time ,they were told to write daft messages on each other,for goodness sake, yet with those microphones off she or he could have said next nominations nominate this one and that one,no one knows, they probably didnt ,but could have.
The we have the breaking our farce for attention by JJames. again all he gets is sympathy and of course its biased and its wrong of BB to be that way.
Whoever goes this week if its not JJames, will in time be seen to have been a far better housemate than he ever was and if Jjames ends up winning then he will be the most unworthy and worst winner there has ever been.

BB has fialed the viewers this time and it has been very discrimatory in the time it has give to some housemates while havins watch 2 idiotic adults playing at schoolkids, hiding under a duvet and talking so no one can make out what they are saying.IF thats called entertainment and is the lasting memories of this series of BB then what a very sad waste of a great opportunity for BB this time who have protected Jjames and Josie and Steve to the detriment of the other housemates, hence 3 walkouts plus an injury from a very badly planned task by BB again too.

They are not keeping the ratings up - most people are sick of the JJ/Josie show - what the hell is entertaining about those two slobbering over each other - even if it is real - which is pretty obvious it isn't!

Maybe 'romance' is what rocks your boat (why not watch a romantic movie or read a Barbara Cartland) - but many of us don't feel the same way! On the whole people are not so much interested in 'will they' or 'won't they' - but simply annoyed at their attention-seeking antics and bb thrusting this drivel down our throats! Any many like some of the other hms!

And no favouritism of certain hms is not what the show is supposed to be about - it is supposed to be about the public's view and what they want - not what bb tell us we should want!

I agree with you WOMBAI. If the ratings have been up then it is probably because people like myself have continued to watch in the desperate hope that they will show us something else other than these two. Every night I am bitterly disappointed at what I am being shown!

At the end of the day John James and Josie are box office, and they are keeping the ratings up. Unfortunately watching Steve sleaze all over young women and Mario becoming more unstable by the day is not going to keep people interested. Their "will they, wont they" relationship has captured the publics imagination and it is in the inrerest of the show that they stay in.

Justice is a rare comodity in this "business of show" and people like Dave, Steve, and Mario are not entitled to it as they do not deserve it. They just dont have that "it" factor. Lets be honest here they are quite simply boring (and in Mario's case three sheets to the wind). When you think about it, Big Brother cracking down hard on them for rule breaks makes them interesting for a few seconds so in practical terms, Big Brother is doing them a favour.

I kind of agree, but - right or wrong - I think that kind of manipulation goes against the original spirit of the show.

If the producers always shape the outcome of situations and decide to focus on showmance too much we may aswell be watching Hollyoaks.

The spirit of the show wasn't working, thats why this is the last one. Like it or not characters such as Ben, JJ and Josie are box office, and money in the bank

Dave has is 100 times more interesting and funny than JJ and in my opinion those two qualities are entertaining. What is so entertaining about this dead end relationship? what more is there to see? I like Josie but JJ does my head inside out!!

Dave is mental. He was put in the show for his whacky religous views. Because he is not preaching or doing strange things he is no longer of any use.

You are BB's ideal demographic. Doesn't make you right though.

Well its the last one so they dont give a damn anymore. Now they can just be shameless about it.

Agreed - but as Zippy says - they have nothing to loose this year and can basically do what they like - which is spoiling the last series!

Last series or not - should bb be so arrogant as to think they can practice whatever double-standards they choose in the name of their brand of entertainment! The show should be allowed to go out with a bang - not all this boring showmance crap! Comments please!

The only comment I have is....that you are absolutely correct!
I've been 'jumped on' for stating this very fact , many times before!
e.g...The showmancers telling jj2 that they would never nominate him,whilst in the pool etc!.....But their fanbase seems to be too huge to risk annoying with little things like rules!!
It's pathetic!!

John James and Josie have been reprimanded by Big Brother after they chatted in the garden without their microphones.

The pair, who have been punished previously for turning off their microphones, got out of bed to talk outside but intentionally left their recording devices in the bedroom. After an initial call to all housemates, which was ignored, Big Brother sounded out John James and Josie to visit the Diary Room "immediately".

Upon returning from the Diary Room, the duo told those in the living room that Big Brother would punish the whole house after constant rule-breaking.

It is unclear what punishment will be given to the group following the rule-break.

So JJJ just get a "knuckle-rap" .....

..... oh and another mention in the HLs ....

They should be put up for eviction, same as Dave! Anything less is just a cop-out!

And now we'll have the pleasure of seeing Davina bouncing around like a moron shouting, "they're in love, they're in love", this Friday. Lord, give me strength.
