I think it was a coded message, all that about the ashes etc.
How patriotic he comes across if it is all in the Aussie press.

Australians in my opinion are a far nicer and friendlier bunch of people than us Brits.

And Australia is an amazing country, I'd move there in a heartbeat if I could.

Seriously how could someone try and say he is British when he was born in Australia?

Most Australians do in fact trace their ancestory back to western Europe (especially UK). And Britain didn't exactly ''invade'' us as someone put it, us Anglo Australians (our ancestors rather) were the Brits who came here. Many Australians do have a strong connection to the UK despite the rivilry we have at sport. I personally support the English football team (along with the Socceroos of course).

John is obviously proud of his heritage and it seems to have increased since he's been in the house (surrounded by everything British) but I think he's a true Australian at heart and just didn't want that comment to come across as a ''Us against them'' message when Big Brother should have nothing to do with someone's nationality, it's not the World Cup.

agree.
Clueless haters focus on him being Australian and get all nationalistic. This isn't the ashes

I think it would be a bit of a shame if an Aussie won the last ever series of the British big brother - it should go to one of our own! No doubt an Aussie won the Aussie bb!

disagree.
The best hm should win, whoever it is...and I'm not saying JJ1 is. Not wanting a hm to win based on their nationally is petty and small minded.
"No doubt an Aussie won the Aussie bb!"
Pointless given that in 8 bb au series I'm struggling to think of a Brit who entered.

JJ definitely isn't the best - but he may win because the teenage girlies fancy him! So our last ever series goes to an Aussie because he is a hunk - according to the tweenies!

Would make a complete mockery of the last series!

"he may win because the teenage girlies fancy him"
change the record. He isn't that good looking, people support him for many reasons. You seem desperate to attack his fans as well as him by making these sweeping generalisation. Try string a few ideas together into an argument instead of trotting out the usual cliches.

Possibly because there aren't many stupid enough to travel half way across the world to go into the BB house.

Some have boobs implant, turned orange and faked a lesbian relationship to get in. :P
Price of an air fare isn't that nuts.

that puts it in perspective.

do you think JJ wants fame, he claims he doesn't need the money. or just to see if he can win?

I doubt that anyone did that to get into BB. Many woman have boob implants - even in Australia, many have fake tans and there are countless woman in lesbian relationships. Who mentioned anything about the price of air fare?

His Mummy was talking about her babba like he was an athlete here to win the gold for Australia. Which Im sure is how he spoke about it to her beforehand. Treating it like a gameshow with a big cash prize.

She just confirmed what I always knew; he is a gameplayer here for the top prize and will play every trick in the book(sobbing, bullying HMs he perceives to be disliked, fake romances etc) to do so.

GAMEPLAYER GAMEPLAYER.

And YES the final BB winner should be a Brit not some phoney foreign mercenary who flies in and flies out. He's a lying twat.

LOL. You could see him cringe afterwards. All the work he'd done to play up his British heritage and desire to live here etc. Then Mummy cheers him on like the foreign invader coming to snatch the gold medal from under our noses!

As for her saying its mentioned in the Aussie press...yeah right. A tiny article in a low rent rag more like.
