My feeling is that the producers felt they had gone too far with John James and were trying to cover themselves.

They pushed and pushed him with that whole series of events, he has proved himself highly strung on several occasions so they could not say his panic attack was a surprise to them.

When he goes in and looks as though he is about to have a coronary and they know they have contributed they are in a difficult position.

I'm not defending him, but they put themselves in a very awkward position by manipulating a whole series of events designed to wind him up.

I don't think they did what they did because they like him or favour him, more that they realised they'd gone too far.

Just my opinion.
