2. The 'moral crusader' James used the vote to show the world once again just how moral and wonderful he is by voting for 'right over wrong' even when it's his own mates he has to turn over! Forget the fact that REAL mates would just pull you aside to tell you about your bad behaviour, not NOMINATE you as a 'punishment'; there is no logic in doing that other than to advertise your own nauseating self of self-righteousness. His friendships in the house (as he even let slip to Austin) are NOT REAL.

James nommed Austin and Jenna purely for his own gain and to bolster his public image as this moral crusader, not afraid to make tough choices in the name of righteousness, even at the expense of his own friendships. Yuk, what a load of BS.

1. It wasn't a crowd pleasing vote because Austin was one of the top four saved. Sherrie and Bobby weren't.

2. He did pull him aside, several times, and Austin ignored him. I gave my reasons why I think James nominated him in my previous posts and I believe those reasons are entirely logical and possible. James has a rather sanctimonious air but I think his reasoning comes from a good place and it's his nature, just as Austin has a hot headed rude nature but has good in him too.
