Well, lets wait to see if he's pulled up on it. Like others have said the difference of whether he's straight away hauled into the Diaryroom or not could be the James reaction or non reaction to it as well

This is true but then, IIRC, a few civvy seasons ago, Hazel had said that she didn't want Daley to be ejected but they did anyway. There have been one or two verbal incidents (racism, usually) where this has been the case, too... to supposedly offended housemate has been gutted when the "offender" is kicked.

Not that it was the same sort of situation as either, but just as an example that they don't necessarily bother all that much about the HM's opinions when choosing whether or not to remove someone.

All i can say is Austin needs to be eternally grateful to James, because if he had complained to BB ,Austin would have been up the road !!

and poor Hazel was still blamed for getting Daley kicked out

I'll 100% agree with everyone if nothing is said to Austin about this though

We will have to wait until tonights show to see if BB asks James about it, and if Austin gets formal warning

I know, drove me mad that one. I wasn't really a huge Hazel fan throughout the series but I was rooting for her after that, simply because of how she was treated both by other HM's and the public.

So I guess you could say that guys and girls both get a raw deal just in different ways.

Well it definitely wasn't an ejection as Austin was on LF last night
I tend to be against warnings in BB unless absolutely necessary so I don't think Austin should be warned if James is ok with it. BUT he should be 'spoken to' I think. But again, if it had been a girl he (or any person) did that to they would have been out on their backside whether the girl complained or not.
