To me he comes across this way to make himself feel better, perhaps to temporarily diminish his own insecurities and doubt which makes him an even worse personality.

..yeah I agree that I think his behaviour masks many insecurities..whether they be deep rooted ones or to do with his loss of place on Strictly and maybe a 'crisis' in his life, I really don't know but I do hope he resolves whatever his 'demons are'..I.and no, it's never going to sit well with the public to behave as he has done because it's only behaviour and the effect of it that we really mostly look at and no matter how much empathy or understanding we try to have, the results of that behaviour to the people around him are the same..interestingly in this case though I don't think Gary or Audley were that particularly effected anywhere near in a way that they may have been because they're both in such a good place and so much 'secure' within themselves...I do think that 'failing' to get a reaction not just for James but for some other housemates as well just made them completely frustrated and maybe 'worse'..?...because they're not in the place that Audley and Gary are and so would like to be...because they can't be and can't 'reach it' they sneered, you know..?...
