Barring that incident James has been in control.

James has said many times he is well used to the dancer digs so I don't think one coming from baby Austin fazed him at all. I think getting kicked by Austin was more likely to have angered him given the fact he knew he couldn't punch him in the gob without being thrown out.

Agree...that really upset James...did you see his leg twitching under the covers ... Give him a bit of his own medicine and hit him where it hurts..he won't be able to handle it.

I get the impression it will take quite some time for James to seriously crack, seems reasonably composed, but calling him 'Billy' every now and then will gradually grind him down to cracking point i should imagine!

Curious as to why James being in his late thirties is a no go for provocation of a man in his twenties. Who himself has no issue with provoking a woman in her forties? Neither James or Austin are without fault when it comes to provocation. Both use it as a weapon for airtime.

[hazyjo]

James was fabulous lol! Agree he should have shut up just a minute earlier, and yeah he was wound up, but he made Austin look like a stroppy teenager/toddler.

Austin needs to stay away from the booze lol!

James - best moment of the series - Austin saying something like 'you could at least show some sympathy' and James pretending to rub crying eyes. OMG how Austin didn't slap him there and then, I don't know, but OMG James, THANK YOU! Was TV gold.

That's how I love him, all red and shouty.

They are both playground bullies. Austin does it for attention..James J does it to be spiteful. They both need to grow up.

This! (Although JJ definitely did thrash Austin there)

It was pure playground stuff. Grow up LITTLE BOYS Honestly my five year old niece would have more sense

I disagree, thought the timing of the comment and delivery was spot on, it will not have gone unnoticed by James that Nicola cracks up at that point also. Watch the footage back, James is still calm and composed when Austin is kicking him, it's only after the dancer digs that he loses it a little.

He may have heard all the Billy Elliot and dancer digs before but they still evidently strike a raw nerve.

[the-gaffer]

did James smoke the year he was in it? all you ever see him do ow is light up, all those smokers seem to do is light up.

I cant understand why Austin wasnt called up and warned for sticking his finger up JJ's bum and kicking out at him. Thats something that normally gets a hammering. JJ was riled but kept the lid on it and Austins threat to punch him in the face got his attention as well.

He should have got a warning for threatening behaviour.

It would have got him thrown out if it was a straight guy doing that to a girl, so why not when a gay guy does it to anyome, including another gay guy

If its not invited, then its assault!!

And that comes from someone who hates overeactions by TTIB fans

Probably because James just ignored it. If he had made any ounce of a fuss Austin would have been dragged to the DR. Even now if he makes a fuss about the arse poking thing Austin would be gone tbh. But I can't see him doing this so Austin will get away with it.

[Liam-]

Having a virtual stranger finger your crack and kick you while you're trying to get into bed would make most people lose it a little I imagine.

[ChristmasNeeve]

I like James right now because I think Austin deserves it, the way he's been treating people but I think there's a strong possibility that he'll go too far and I will start to dislike him

Really?

Sorry but James looked like a rabid dog in those final few seconds. Winning an argument doesn't specifically go to the one who snarls the loudest. If James had been calm and collective then maybe so but he was anything but. He revealed himself to be the prat we already knew he was.

I guess if you were minding your own business and someone started deliberately riling you, put their finger up your butt crack and kicked you, you wouldn't mind a bit? JJ controlled himself remarkably well, but then he's miles ahead of Austin (who is disturbingly childish) in the maturity stakes.
