Has anyone heard of this apparent world reknown judy james the body language expert/psychologist... all i hear her say seems to be utter crap just based on her favourites.

lmao and the best was jackie would pick callum over dexter, but as soon as she leaves jackie tells everyone she would rather pick dexter and callum throws a hissy fit over it.....

[Im_Juz_ChiLLin]

What's your views?

[Ramsay]

Judy >>>

[Withano]

She is the best, anybody who disagrees with this shouldn't be trusted with hot objects.

[fingers]

She's crap, just what BOTS needs.

Ben frow cannot stretch the budget for a world reknown psychologist so he has to settle for ch5 standard i guess......

[CaudleHalbard]

She's a body language expert. Not a psychologist.

she ain't very good lool she ain't read anyone's body language right when she entered the house....

[Firewire]

No because she's not a psychologist. She's also an actual living walking Queen.

She's a pop-psychologist, just makes half of it up as she goes along based on her own feelings and some vague observations of body language, but even those are clumsy. I have no idea where they got her from. You're right she said "Jackie would rather choose Callum than Dexter" purely because SHE would - Jackie's own interactions with the two have never suggested that at all. She doesn't trust Dexter, especially with her daughter's feelings, but she's much warmer towards him than towards Callum who she quite clearly actively dislikes. Any half-decent psychologist should have been able to see that. I only have an undergraduate degree in Psychology, and have never actually worked in a related job, and find it painfully obvious.

I have only two explanations;

1) She is just really rubbish at her job, and isn't good at reading people OR

the more likely 2) ... she doesn't actually bother to watch the show properly and get to know the housemates, and makes basic snap judgements based on very little.

Or 3) She's on the payroll and sticking to the script.

"Judi James started her career as a leading catwalk model and trained many big names at her modelling school in Chelsea, Naomi Campbell among them. Judi is now a leading television expert in body language, social behaviour, image, workplace culture and communication skills."

Oh... wait... what? So she DOESN'T even have a qualification in psychology? How did she go from being a catwalk model / modelling school owner to a "Body language expert"? Heh... well I suppose that sort of explains it then. My undergrad BSc *does* make me more qualified than her

Ch5 staff don't require qualifications, look at Rylan and AJ......

Well yeah but they're just presenters, all they're really there to do is chatter and read an autocue. You'd think the people who are supposed to be "experts" would at least have some sort of academic background!

Although... to be fair to Judi... she's still nowhere near the level of absolute drivel that Jet from Gladiators comes out with.

Next you'll be telling us that Gillian McKeith bought her doctorate on the internet. Oh, she did.

I like her but she's terrible. Thinking Jackie would prefer Callum to Dexter when she nominated him

[Patrick]

I'm sorry but Judy has been a part of the show since like the BBLB Days. I will love her forever.

So has Brian Belo. He could replace her. He would probably be better at it.

Or maybe Craig Phillips?

pls. Judy James has been analyzing the colour of housemate's sh*t with Dermot O'Leary before Brian Belo was even born.

This. In fact, she's my favourite part of BOTS. I always find her to be very insightful, and being interested in psychology and body language myself, particularly interesting. I'm really glad they have her on the show and I think she does a great job

[iRyan]

I love Judy James, she's brilliant
