Dont you know Selkirk that Armagnac has gone from his biggest fan to his biggest hater in greatest hater.

Yes PT I did notice that a few weeks ago. However, before he changed his mind he had plenty of opportunity and spurned the chance to join our side.
I'm sorry but I can't forgive Armagnac ![]() |

The most shameless piece of turn coating in the history of this forum by a man who has sunk more big brother ships than the Spanish Armada and put down more big brother planes than the luftwafe. The fella has some neck on him to try and share in the glory of John James's great downfall and become a hater when the game is up.

Not sure what you're saying there. The Spanish Armada didn't sink any ships. |

Top post Selkirk - glad you wrote that and not me. I've apparently been too nasty in my JJ observations this series. I personally think I've gone too easy on the gutless, antagonistic, misogynistic, spoilt Aussie prick

![]() In my opinion you didn't go far enough. I'm still waiting for his other fans to show up..... |

By:
Armagnac, you have some brass neck on you. You were stuck up John James's backside the whole series. You have been his biggest fan. Now you have turned full circle.
I wonder what has caused your road to damascus conversion because John James's personality has been consistent the whole show. Anyone could tell from the first week that he was all talk and no trousers and so it has come to pass. |
|
By:
JJ goes over the top a lot of times but he's spot on with a lot of things, especially Corin. Corin hates the fact JJ has exposed her as the fake she is. OH MY GOD wasn't it Helen who started this off in BB2? It's been copied by females ever since and Corin is by far the most blatant. Not to mention her fake diary room act.

There are a number of forumites with slightly more balanced views than yours, Selkirk. I liked this one from TM last night:
TheMadness 20 Aug 10 02:06 It's a shame really. Because he can be alright at times. But he's paranoid beyond all reason, analyses everything to the point of ridiculousness, and he's a complete control freak. He's going to give himself a nervous breakdown if he doesn't change his ways. I think it's spot on. A proper, reasoned character analysis. I liked the John James who was on his game in the house - the John James who could be funny, up for a laugh, sensitive... who traded as low as 3.6. I think the house has now all but destroyed him, he's a paranoid wreck, and the sooner he gets out of there the better for his sanity. Even so Selkirk, it seems that you (and ther likes of jr) have MUCH more of an interest in John James than I ever will. When asked, I said I liked him as a person, and went on to describe his positive personality aspects. My discussions previously have been from a betting angle and from the POV of John James as a Big Brother HM. I think he's been a good HM this year, but far from the best over the years. I've traded well on him and, believe it or not, I'm not that bothered about him. I've been much more bothered about the imbalanced, subjective views of John James on this forum, particularly on the live feed thread. There has been little humour, and little reasoned debate. If the BB HMs, who have lived with him for 70-odd days, can see the bad and the good in him, then I would hope that this would be reflected in a BB forum's opinion. Anyway, quite what this thread has to do with gambling and making money on BB, I don't know. It's funny that you label certain forumites as '15 year old girls' and then create a thread that clearly belongs on DS ![]() |

John James sure does get forum men hysterical. Funny how the very same men who mock him for his relationship with Josie with cries of Bitty, mummy and fat munter despise him for the way he speaks to girls. Hypocrisy much?
|

By:
deej - you have clearly had a humour bypass. You appear to have been personally affronted by justifiable observations made about him on LF and highlights. It's all part of the betting sphere. Analysing HMs' actions and passing comments on them. I call it as I see it. If a bit of colourful language isn't your cup of tea, you're probably on the wrong forum cos it's pretty widespread on BF. I've given plenty of reasoned explanation on him and Corin, and Josie - they have been the big 3 throughout - and the other HMs too. If you watched LF it has been dominated by John James and Josie so they've had more attention than most with everyone, not just me. He is now trading at 180 - so maybe those negative comments - which I was making after observing him for only a few days and assessing his true nature - hinted at trouble ahead for him and actually aided some to lay off before they lost on him.

lol jr, you're way off. I suggest you read back through your posts on the live feed, you might surprise yourself. There's precious little humour in repeating the same vitriolic 'jokes' over and over and over again. It's embarrassing. I have no problem with 'colourful' language (lol), but if you are really trying to be funny then we clearly have very different senses of humour. I prefer my jokes to be a bit more creative, expressive and, well, funny.
And I'm not 'personally' affronted by anything on here, obviously - it's an anonymous forum. But I do think your observations have been totally imbalanced and, as these have dominated the live feed thread, I wanted to point this out. I have disagreed with your observations and yet traded well on John James. Your posts about him genuinely make me feel that YOU are personally affronted by the actions of a BB HM, and as such have been too emotionally involved with your trading 'advice'. I can only describe is as obsessive. For your sake, I'm glad JJ's leaving tonight. |

deeyay I'll say it again- if you like John James then you have something severly wrong with you and I mean that.
How else do you like in tv land? Andy and Judy Murray? Katie Price? Colin Murray? You sir, are a weirdo. |

btw, I've always respected your POV on Specials before, and think that you're a decent forumite and punter. You've just lost me on this one.

And his little speech in the kitchen last night regarding Racheal had nothing to do with him being paranoid. It was him being a nasty, bullying pr1ck.
Him sh1tting it in the diary room will long live with me in regards to the 11 series of BB. |

I certainly wouldn't be shocked by anything I've posted this series, deej. I think you are mistaking my regular use of hyperbole for something else

As i mentioned before everyone has lots of sides to their personality and while John James has some good points his predominant personality is a very bad one. Its his bad side that defines his personality.
He is a hypocrit, bully, spoilt and arrogant. I am not saying he is evil personified but for people to make excuses for him and point out his good sides is a meaningless argument. Hitler loved his dog blondie and most serial killers and wife abusers have some good points about them too but i say again these good qualities should be considered the norm in human behavior and with some people you must judge them in just how bad they are capable of being. |

Hysteria I tell you. Imagine how'd they'd be if John James really was handsome.

By:
He moralises everyones actions and tries to cheapen every other person in the house for wanting to win and receiving £100,000. Thats a lot of money to most people.
He says he is not motivated in winning and would be the only person to enter big brother if it was not on tv and there was no prizemoney. Well, if those are his motives he has spent a lot of money trying to be on big brother and travelled half way across the world several times just to be on it. He could have lived with 12 strangers for three months in a kibutz if he motives are what he claims. |

By:
And not forgetting what he said pre-show paddletoe, which appears in his official bio on C4 BB site - strangely overlooked by his adoring teen fans, and contradicting everything he has stated in the house about 'not giving a rip' about winning:
24-year-old John still lives at home with his mum but has his own independence after his dad built him his own granny flat. John hasn't worked since his father was killed in an industrial accident and he inherited some money. He claims to be laid back but very opinionated and can be single minded when pushed on certain topics and morals. He says he is very likeable and chatty and loyal to his friends. At the age of 20 he changed his name to Achilles, Chills to his friends, but he soon changed it back. John believes he's very persuasive and good with words which means he can convince people to come round to his way of thinking. He likes to think he looks like David Beckham because he's a good looking bloke and he takes care of his appearance, using an anti-aging light to stop wrinkles so he can keep hold of his looks. He is single - mainly because he thinks all girls are too much work. He doesn't mind that he's single and doesn't have a problem getting with the ladies but he knows looks only get you so far and you need a personality as well. To him, sex means 'making myself feel better'. John admits he will do anything it takes to win the show and believes he'll be a good asset to the house as he'd be funny and argumentative. His dream would be to have daring people and hot girls in the house with him. |

Spot on paddletoe, with both of your posts.
dj, you continue to misunderstand the point of the live feed thread. It's not primarily a betting thread. It's a thread where posters respond, often just as fans of the show, to what is occurring on LF To not respond with utter disgust at how JJ has behaved on so many occasion over the last 10 weeks would be very odd indeed. Also I'm happy to say I bet on emotion when it comes to these shows. Always have and always will, as following my emotional response to these shows has proved very profitable. I suspect more profitable than the data crunchers. |

...so basically an open prison then. I'd love to ask him just why he'd like to be locked in a house with strangers for no reason other than to just be there. He really does talk so much bs. |

I'm with you on the emotional angle - betting on my emotional response has always served me well, and I've never been one for polls. I saw enough that I liked in JJ to back at 10-15+, and layed off later. My debate with jr was that he said that his POV on JJ on the LF thread "actually aided some to lay off before they lost on him". If I'd have followed this POV, I would have layed off JJ much too early (and probably have not backed him in the first place). Instead I traded well. I don't see how such emotive posts should in any way encourage other forumites to trade accordingly. He's said himself he doesn't bet on emotion, but is suggesting others would have done well to follow his emotional responses. The hatred towards JJ was there as he continued to fall from 15.5 to 3.6. There's a big difference between sound trading reasoning and continuous rants about a HM you personally detest. Of course the LF thread has betting / book-talking heavily involved. It's naive to suggest it's for 'fans' of the show. And I know we've argued this before, but you said that other threads (not the LF) are the places for reasoned debate - yet I've seen the same subjective attitude towards JJ in posts on many many other threads away from the LF, yourself included. One thing about JJ tho, judging by the response of this forum... he's been a great HM. I can't remember such passionate debate about Hira ![]() |
