James. He's as genuine as anyone would be in that house. He is too consistent to be putting on an act and it would be impossible to keep it up for 3 weeks. Going by what the HM's who live/lived with him think the majority of them really like him too.

People are now zoning in on James like vultures because he's the fave and a threat to their fave. Everything he does is scrutinized and criticized and he is found lacking. It happens every year coming up to the finish and we're all guilty of it.

Even if James kicked a puppy right now I would still prefer him to that attention seeking Austin.

James is a salesman, he is selling himself to the public, and he is doing it rather well so far, but there is nothing genuine about him at all

I don't think any of them are truly genuine. They are all acting a bit.

Even salesmen don't work 24/7. He's a bit young to be so experienced that he could pull off a 3 week 24/7 sales stint.
No, he is too consistent with his values, opinions and actions to be fake. Who we see is basically him as he always is.

He wasn't that great a salesman on the Apprentice - not sure if he is a salesman anyway - doesn't he own a restaurant or something?

What makes me think James is as genuine as anybody can be in the BB house, is his consistent views, opinions, actions, values. They all mesh, and aren't contradictory. An experienced actor couldn't even pull that off living so closely with so many other people because other people throw too many spanners in the works!

Yeah, whilst I would normally agree with that, I think in James case it's a different type of fake, he's not changing his whole personality as such, he's fake in that he uses people, fake people in real life do this too.

You & I usually pretty much agree on the HM's we like & dislike but not with James.
Am I blinded by his good looks
I could forgive him for anything

They are contradictory though.

One minute he's telling Stevi that Chloe needs to learn to stand on her own feet, a week later she needs to be supported by Janice.

Well she wasn't having any success standing on her own 2 feet a week later, but getting worse. If that's the only inconsistency you can come up with, it shows how consistent James is.

I muchnprefer James who is consistent and fair. He's a gentleman. Austin acts like a childish brat.
