That's one thing I don't really get about James' explanation though.
All this talk of "I did it for you" and when Austin said that he would never have nominated him; "I would have wanted you to though, If I was acting like you I would have wanted a friend to pull me up and teach me a lesson" - all of his reasons seem to be that he did with the "best intentions" "teach a lesson" or to really make a point and show Austin how "unacceptable" his behaviour is, BUT when he was making the nominations he never knew they were going to get played back to the house. He was acting like great friends as usual with Austin in the earlier in the day clip we saw, then went in and nominated him. It seems Austin had already agreed with James that his behaviour had been out of line and they had discussed it.

So if they had already discussed things, Austin had admitted when he had been in the wrong, they were getting on again, and James never knew that Austin was even going to see his nomination, then how was it all in his best interests or how was it going to teach Austin a lesson or done with the best interests to make him see his behaviour was so bad by taking such a big decision to nominate him when he thought that that Austin would never even see his nomination anyways and they were just carrying on as friends as usual?
