Austin acts like many 28 year olds do, and who's bypassing his behaviour? I haven't been asked about it but as it happens, I didn't particularly enjoy seeing him put his finger up James arse, no.

His kick didn't have any real force behind it, so I don't see how it can be viewed as anything but playful. We've seen other housemates do questionable things in the past, so why are BB fans outraged and offended now? Oh yes, because they don't like Austin. I hate defending someone with that sorry old excuse of them being drunk, but that's exactly what he was...drunk. If James had kicked Austin you'd be loving it and singing from the mountains like Julie bloody Andrews.

I don't mind Austin that much actually, I just think he's very childish with a nasty streak. I've seen worse. I preferred him in his last outing on Cbb when James Hill kept him in line. I think Austin needs someone more mature on his side for guidance....and no, if things had been reversed and James had fingered Austin and kicked him I wouldn't be loving it or defending it at all.

Austin would have been fine if he had teamed up with JJ

I agree. Austin can't function without a more mature buddy to babysit him. Maybe this CBB will help him grow up if he sticks it out.
