Yeah I agree his argument that he saved Janice for Chloe was ridiculous what is Stevie?..a pot plant, don't answer that

[Calderyon]

Just bumping this because it´s still current because of tonight highlights show.

[goldensunlight]

Austin and Jenna have worked out his game and called him out on it and he didn't like it.

[Daniel.]

100% genuine

[lewis111]

don't really now or care, but I love a good game player don't see why everyone complains about, most of the best BB HMs ever were game players

[Ant.]

I mean we don't know how he feels or if it was a game move but at the end of the day he can vote for who he wants so Austin and Jenna need to stop complaining

[MrWong]

Good game players let the viewers in on the game playing.

Sly ****s try to hoodwink the housemates and the viewers.

Where is this rule written? It's only ok if a housemate declares, clearly, to the viewers that they are game playing? Ridiculous!

After watching the highlights tonight, I'm not seeing how James was being a game player. He picked someone he liked which is what we would all do, no game in it.

same reason austin is an attention seeker trying to persuade people to vote for him by shaving his head, we know his full intentions and he's pure evil for saving someone

I thought it was a game play as well...but after watching the show, it looks like he was disturbed by the way the U.S. team were isolating her and treating her with disrespect and he decided to use his pick to show his support for her.

As he said, he knew Bobby and Jenna were safe, so his choice was to prove a point to Austen and the U.S. team and to show Janice that she has support.

Where is any game playing rule written? It's my opinion.

Game players let us in on the game playing. Victor was the best at it and used the diary room to let us know. Marc was similar. Letting us in on his motives for his actions. Aaron and Dexter were a milder version.

I was just coming in to say the same thing....It was obvious James was fuming at the way Austin was being very rude to Janice during the 'end of the world' task in particular. I thought 'That's really why he saved Janice!' I would have done the same thing and not admitted it because of the bullying I would get from Austin and the endless interrogation from Jenna. The 2 of them are like dogs with a bone - they can't let anything go without first chewing it to shreds.

Fair enough. It just doesn't bother me. I get bothered by hypocrisy not game playing.

So far, James has acted how he's preached. Scoop was another housemate like that.

Jenna and Austin are massive hypocrites who constantly bitch about other people game playing and pretending to be nice to people...meanwhile they are the worst offenders of this.

[Phillip!]

Sincere, I gained a lot of respect for him.

Would you be saying the same thing if Farrah did it to James and then faked her reasons as to why she did it?

The difference is James doesn't own it and he's not a 'fun' gameplayer, he's playing it well, but it's boring to watch. All of the above you listed had an element of fun and cheekiness about them. James is just playing the 'good, fair' guy role.

Because he couldn't possibly do it out of having respect for Gail?

And he had to vote to save/evict someone, but yet again he can't do the 'right' thing by people's standards and is made out to look like the villain.

and then letting it grow back as soon as she's evicted

Why would he keep getting it shaved? That wasn't the deal. He shaved it to show respect, it's literally as simple as that, nothing more nothing less.

I don't think he has practised what he preaches. In a convo with Bobby to Stevie he was saying that Chloe should fend for herself and this experience would make her stronger.

Now she needs Janice' support?

He's not game playing. He's vote grabbing. In the most smarmy, insincere way.

[Beso]

The important conversation about all this was james and natalie where james told her it was to get farrah out.

Which makes sense cause if he had picked jenna, farrah and bobby would have been the last 2, leaving austin to chose between them...austin would have evicted bobby...uk v usa remember.

[joeysteele]

Game move for me.
I like James but his choice of Janice stunned me to save her, I never saw that even as a possibility from the ones who were left to choose from, in addition his reasons for in part doing it for Chloe was even more bizarre.

[the truth]

embarrassingly fake. jenna totally exposed and owned him and he kept walking off in a temper.....she then got into bed with him , shes keeping her enemies closer , shes totally seen through him now and will continue to expose him as faker than his tan and blonde teeth...she basically has his balls in her pocket now

How do you get that ^ out of the footage?
Jenna went on and on about how he should have saved her because God forbid that anyone wouldn't think she is wonderful. James explained himself patiently over and over but she droned on and he had Austin chirping in on his other side as well. I would have blown up with the inquisition from those 2 but he merely got irritated and said enough is enough, that they were just going over the same ground, and got up and walked away. He handled the situation with dignity and maturity as usual.
Jenna was being a deluded twit and Austin was the one red faced with temper.
James has HER measure - he saved Janice over her, didn't he?
