He actually said to George { I think} that he didn't know where the words came from and thanked an unknown entity for helping through the day.

Ah yes, that old Gary chestnut.

He's not my favourite actor of all time, but I think if my favourite actor were still alive and in the BB house the other hms would be coming across even worse.

Would you care to elaborate?


Oh, come on, it's been said from day 1 of BB that it's impossible to act in there for more than a couple of days. Look what happened when they sent an actor in a couple of seasons ago. They rumbled him almost straight away.

You are literally dealing with quantum maths and infinite possibilities. Not a chance of pulling it off.

What he has done is use the house mates negativeness towards him in a positive light. They have also left him no other option in there other than to entertain himself and us.

So really they have shot themselves in the foot. They 'collectively' think,with out discussing it with each other. That if they don't talk to him then he won't get any camera time. How sadly mistaken they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So James does "want to be liked" Why behave in the way he has been then ?

A great show last night too.

I just think he had literally no idea how this would all wear him down and expose himself to himself.

But the "I don't give a frig what people think of me" for three weeks comes across as a lie after that DR. Some self contemplation might do him some good.

If people make claims that later turn out to be wrong and they realise it - is it a lie, or were they just mistaken and now have learned something?

Would people never change and adapt due to fear of being perceived as a liar?

The guy didn't come across to me as the most self perceptive so I tend to think he wasn't lying, just not very knowlegeable.

I cannot believe how good Gary Busey was as the mediator- a riveting 1 hour show.


Did you notice how Bully tried to turn it around away from him ( deflection) back on to Gary. But he was having non of it.


Anyone who had any lingering doubts about Bully's state of mind, his behavior, his attitude, the way he projects himself should have non after tonight's show.

I totally agree. This just illustrates how superior an entertaining HM Gary is given the opportunity to show it. More Gary airtime I say.

Glorious moments there! I liked the way Gary told him what his eyes say! The only defence James could come up with was to decide (he obviously is qualified as a psychiatrist but keeps it quiet…) in the diary room that Gary needed a psychiatrist. More proof of what a vile creature James is.

Just to emphasise the thrust of my debate- I would say that he qualifies as a Bully under the two of these listed below. And the Relational Bully is him down to a tee.

http://bullying.about.com/od/Basics/...f-Bullying.htm


Relational aggression is a sneaky and insidious type of bullying that often goes unnoticed by parents and teachers. Sometimes referred to as emotional bullying, relational aggression is a type of social manipulation where tweens and teens try to hurt their peers or sabotage their social standing. Relational bullies often ostracize others from a group, spread rumors, manipulate situations and break confidences. The goal behind a relationally aggressive bully is to increase their own social standing by controlling or bullying another person.

In general, girls tend to use relational aggression more than boys, especially between fifth and eighth grade. As a result, girls who engage in relational aggression are often called mean girls or frenemies.

A teen or tween on the receiving end of relational aggression is likely to be teased, insulted, ignored, excluded and intimidated. Although relational aggression is common in middle school, it is not limited to tweens. In fact, some bullying bosses and other workplace bullies also engage in relational aggression.
