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

Maybe so, I do find Austin much more attractive so maybe I'm blinded also

tbf though, I don't really like Austin either, I just get why he's frustrated

Well, I believe he's used to Austin, I believe he used both Chloe and Janice in that nomination to make himself look good, i also believe he uses Stevi to make himself look good

Yeah, well it's all just opinions isn't it, because we're not in any of their heads. I don't think he's used anyone any more than the rest of them have. Austin could have been using James and not the other way around ; Jenna and Austin are using each other to bitch about James behind his back when previously they didn't even like each other; Jenna is using Austin and trying to turn him against James to get back at him for not saving her etc etc. We all perceive things differently. I seen him with Stevie and thought it was nice of him to give him a boost... Doesn't mean I'm right and you're wrong though obviously I prefer my version.

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.
