My guess is that he either fancies her or that perhaps she's filling a daughter figure role in his life and by nominating her, he's needing to mentally and emotionally push her away. Call him a game player or a snake, but he has a wife who I'm sure he loves very much (and to my belief, he's never had a daughter), so I doubt he'll ever talk about his real reasons for nominating her.

He nominated Aubrey not because he doesn't care for her, but possibly because he's afraid he cares too much. He doesn't want to get any closer to Aubrey and is afraid how that would look to the public eye and to his wife.

Thoughts?

Yeah, I think that has got something to do with it. James was blushing like a schoolboy when his nomination clip was played back.

And why not? She's smart, beautiful, and not ridiculously young. She's said she likes him often enough. The thought 'What if?' must have crossed his mind. So he probably did the right thing, even though he'll never explain it to anyone on CBB.
