I think he feels that people are against him and that just reinforces what he thinks of himself - that he is worthless. Austin is someone who is plagued with insecurities that manifest into poisonous attacks against others.
The things he said to Janice tonight were appalling but I hope his friends in the house can see that it's actually aimed towards himself but he can't find a better coping strategy to handle it.
In no way shape or form is this post a defence of Austin's behaviour, he will be evicted tomorrow and rightly so, but I don't think he's the type of guy who would ever want to intentionally hurt anyone.
We live and learn, we all have flaws and things about us as people that need to improve. I'm sure he's got some good people in his life on the outside, I just hope he hangs on to them, confronts his demons and becomes a better person for it.
I dunno, maybe I'm a soft touch!

This is a great post, and i agree with most of it, i don't think he'll be out tonight (here's hoping)

I did actually feel sorry for him, and was left wondering if Janice reminded him of somebody that he knew, and that was the reason for his venomous attack on her, he said that his family had crumbled and his partner had a great family, so again he's angry and conflicted, he also said about Natasha being a mother after she swore at him, i think he has 'mum' issues.

I think he's the most real person in the house, we all have our bad moments, and say things we regret, i'm actually hoping he stays to the end.
