Live night 20 P1

JOHN JAMES AND JOSIE PLAYFIGHTING (James 32 video):

STEVE: (Man hugs John) I knew you'd drink it, that's why I gave it you.

JOHN: (Brusque) Yeah, I bet you did!! (SC)

The second Josie is in the vicinity, John steps on her toe to attract her attention. So she pays him back by shoving his side! It seems Steve has insinuated that some of the HM's had encouraged him to give John the Yard of Firewater. Josie looks like she has a guilty conscience :P

JOHN: Were they? Who was saying that? Oh really? (pounces playfully wrapping his arms around a wriggling Josie like a boa constrictor) (wantonly) Was it you? Telling him to?  (Josie is quick to break free from his tight grasp, which he uses purely as an excuse to be tactile with her)

Steve didn't know whether he would do it or not. John looks for further opportunities to have some body contact with the Bristolian as they tussle and tickle in a touchy feely way ;) 

JOSIE: You're like one of those.. like one of those.. one of those blokes at school that I used to.. (John gives her a swift back-hander in the face; Josie flicks his hand away, then chats to Steve) That was disgusting, I was really disappointed when you give me that! 

JOHN: (puts his arm around her in a head lock) What blokes at school? (John pulls Josie's head closer to his chest while she oww's and tries to escape his clinch. John ruffles her hair roughly) 

JOSIE: (Flirtatious) The ones that I used to take behind the bike sheds! (SC)

JOHN: I know, I was never not gonna drink it. I didn't care if it was the fish juice! (SC as Josie giggles her glasses off) 

JOSIE: Nah, only joking! (squares up to box him Birdman style) Yeah? If you wanna go, I'll go!

JOHN: If you wanna go, I'll go! 

The cameras move off them onto Corin and Sunshine at the bench and Ben is bitching about John being funny with him which annoys him. Josie can still be heard off screen making ear-piercing Karate noises!  

BEN: Sometimes, he's really lovely and charming.. 

JJJ grapple gregariously as Josie squeals shrilly before booting John's behind!

JOSIE: (Chides) You've just ruined my hair, it took ages!

JOHN: (Has stolen her specs and imitates her goofily) 'I'm Josie, meh mh mh! I can't drink a little bit of water!' 

JOSIE: No, you've gotta put some.. (ahh's as John throws her glasses to the ground and kicks her tukkas as she bends to pick them up)  

JOHN: 'I can't.. no I can't drink that! When I go out, nh nh nhhh'

JOSIE: Come here, John!

JOHN: (slagging her for not finishing her fin and tonic) 'I'm a real drinker, I am!'

JOSIE: No, no! It was FISH!

JOHN: (Girly high pitched voice) 'I can't drink it! Egggh!' 

JOSIE: You gotta do this, John! (in a dopey tone) 'Hi, I'm Josie!' 

JOHN: (Cracks up) Is that what your friends do? Awww.. 

JOSIE: Go on you can do it! (hands over her make shift gappy teeth)  

JOHN: What the hell's this? (but sticks them in his mouth straight after they have been in Josie's - saliva swapping already, are we??) 

JOSIE: That's your teeth, that's your Josie teeth! 

John puts the glasses back on as he does a Josie impression through the sound cut which has her howling! 

JOHN: Who'd you think you are? 

JOSIE: Who'd you think you are??   

(Stolen from WHATM thread) 7.50pm Josie says she is starting to go a bit mad in the house. Dave and Mario say their memories are getting really mad. They say they cannot remember words for songs and Mario says that he has even forgotten the name of his favourite band. 

7.57pm Josie is worried about John saying 6 million people were watching.. When she thinks of that figure it almost make sher have a panic attack 

8.12pm Josie asks if Ife has gone through wondering who she is. Ife says she did but is ok now. Josie says she wonders "am I this girl who goes and bitches in the diary room and then is nice to their face?" 

MORE PLAYFIGHTING (James 32 video):

This clip fills in the gaps of what was shown on the HL's (see previous blog so I don't repeat myself as I am only writing about the parts left off the HL's) 

JOSIE: (Rebukes as he runs away) JOHN! That woulda gone in my eye!! John honestly, that woulda blinded me then! I wouldn't have had an eye!

JOHN: (Laughs then mirthfully mocks her) 'You're on your last warning! I know you're my mate..' 

JOSIE: If I didn't have my glasses on, I wouldn't have an eye!

JOHN: I know you're my mate, I know you're my mate.. (hits her)

JOSIE: (finds his shameless impertinence saucy!) Oooh! That was right on me batty!!! 

JOHN: (Swinging his trunks around his finger) I was willing to call it even, but you weren't.. You had to get a cheeky shot in! When I wasn't looking!

JOSIE: I knowww.. (they spar again) Oh, did you see that? You see that? (this is when the HL clip starts and after that Josie falls to the floor dramatically. John jerks his jocks in Josie's face repeatedly) I'm dead! (strokes his ankle as he passes) I'm sorry it had to end like this!

John tries to smother her with his boxers and Josie can't speak for exulting breathlessly. John giggles too, entertained no end by his pitiless pestering of Josie. This is where Josie calls out from her turf of grass that John just totally humiliated her on TV 'I used to be somebody before I met you!!'  

JOHN: You had to get a cheeky one in though, didn't ya? (drops her top back in her lap while she adjusts her head band)

JOSIE: (playfully reprimands) How dare you show me up like that! No, NO!!! (John lunges at her with a towel, catching her unawares but not WITH underwear this time) (SC as he gives her backside a beating) You should never hit a woman with glasses! 

Mario muses whether it is alright to hit a women when she's not wearing glasses but nobody is listening to him! 

JOSIE: (after her hamburger line) Cooler than a cucumber and you've just made me look like a complete turnip!  

SC as the HM's are talking about 'adult stuff' as John and Josie fold their linens. Josie seizes her chance to get in one final fist thump to his arm as her vengeance. Cameras flip to Corin and Nathan in the kitchen discussing John's anger.   

How their other HM's were wholly unconscious to flirtations heating up between John and Josie is beyond me! It was as obvious as underwear in your hair!!!! Ife was onto it before even John and Josie had this dawning realisation. Any opportunity that came their way to get closer or to invade personal space of each other they gobbled up with child-like innocence (initially!) just to have reason to physically touch each other (skin on skin contact) ;)

CORIN: (drying up the cutlery) I mean he's alright and stuff but he can't half flip, can't he? 

NATHAN: He's got anger issues. 

CORIN: (growls) 'Getting angry' like the pasty thing.. Steve said the pasty was not very hot, he was like 'I'm getting angry now! I'm getting angry! I'm getting angry!'

NATHAN: (scowls) Get a grip pal, that's all I'd say!

CORIN: Is he really getting angry, d'you think?  

Nathan doesn't know. Did they think he was putting that on for the cameras? Like heck he was! I am 100% sure that John would never exaggerate his emotions in order to dramatise a situation. Nor would he do anything purposefully to make himself come across in any way that he was not feeling!  
  

MAKE ROOM FOR LOVE (James 32 video):

John and Josie can be seen larking around in the background behind Steve on the sofa. John launches himself into Josie's double bed. 

JOSIE: (flirts) Ooh look at you! Yeah.. getting in my bed!

JOHN: (unabashed) Yeah, that's right!

JOSIE: Looking at me like that..

JOHN: (makes himself at home) Yeah!

Mario informs Josie that she is sleeping with Ife tonight and she celebrates with a cheery 'YES!!!' Ife checks she doesn't mind but Josie wants Ife to sleep with her. John is laying in wait on the bed, sprawled out in a seductive stance and his beckoning-the-Bristolian-to-bed-eyes ;)

JOSIE: Is that your perockative (she means provocative) pose? (chortles) Look at John James!

JOHN: (tames his manhood) Wait, let me get rid of that! (Josie asks again if it his perockative pose) I don't know what that means but alright ;)

JOSIE: (Shimmies) Ooooooooooh, make room for a little 'un!

JOHN: (chuckling) Is that yours? (copies her) Woooooo!

JOSIE: That's my sexy pose! (shakes her tic tacs at him one more time while swiveling her hips like Shakira Shakira ) Make room for a little 'un! 

John is treated to a raunchy recital of Josie's pelvic thrusts and booby bouncing ;) Bet there's none of that in the Forty shades of Green crap!! :P Mario affirms it is Josie's 'come to bed' pose. 

JOHN: (Guess what his eyes were entranced by!) She goes straight for the boobs!

JOSIE: Corrrr, lovely! 

JOHN: Like Superman! (legs wide open, watching Josie like a green-eyed hawk as she walks over to Ben)

Josie compliments Ben on his jumper (SC) Ben lip smackers Josie on the cheek, much to John's insatiable envy. He covers his jealousy with an over zealous laugh. Ben asks what John is laughing at. 

JOHN: You! You and your kissing! You've kissed more people in this house .. 

Ben asserts that he only kisses those he wants to kiss. Mario is malcontent that Ben never kisses him. 

JOHN: You've kissed me about 48 times on the lips! (that could be close with Josie's total in the house) 

Mario again brings up his despondency that Ben will never kiss him. Ben blurts that he kisses him on the cheek; natch this is not where Mario wants to be kissed!

BEN: We can't all get what we want. 

Josie can't wait to share a bed with Ife; Ife is also looking forward to it as her bed looks quite warm. (SC)

IFE: We could snuggle!

JOSIE: Yeahhh, you can spoon me if you want. 

IFE: And vice versa! 

IFE, THAT'S THE DEAL IFE (James 32 video):

Mario crassly asks Ife if she's ever kissed a rabbit between its ears as he stares down at his erection. Ben is at eye level with Mario's 'rabbit' and doesn't know if he wants to now. 

JOSIE: John James! You've mashed up my wrist!! (SC as she holds up her mangled wrist for John to see)

JOHN: (unremorseful) You didn't even ask, you're just straight in there.. and just assume, just assume that I like ya and let me have it! (SC) 

Mario puts an arm around Josie while John checks with Ife in the background that he'll still get his midnight chats with Josie. 

JOSIE: That's what I mean! 'Where's that trollop Josie gone?'

JOHN: Ife! That's the deal, Ife. 

Ife inquires 'what's the deal?' John explains that the deal is he comes in for a chat every night. Ife plans to chat with Mario and then half way through the night she and John will high five each other as they pass. 

JOHN: Alright, alright. (SC as the HM's sing) 

Josie busts some moves and Mario bops up and down like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. After their dance off ends, BB announces that the hatch is open for HM's to collect new batteries. 

John just had to ensure he would still have his allocated one-on-one night time conversations with Josie. That was something he was absolutely unprepared to give up on and didn't want anyone else wrecking for them! He'd have angled for his own invite for a permanent fixture in Josie's bed if she and Ife hadn't come to a shared arrangement.

NO, SHE'S A SAUCY COW (James 32 video):

Ben is plonked next to John in bed who is still (honey) badgering him about how tactile he is.

JOHN: Up for a hug or some form of touching (Josie voices that she knows) 

BEN: Of course! 

JOHN: Yeah, but why? What do you mean 'of course'?

JOSIE: You're a serial feeler (Ben accepts he needs constant attention) You're like touch, touch, touch, touch! I'm.. I've been really touchy in here for the first time in my life!

Ife also is never normally touchy with strangers. Ben is averse to playing footsy with Mario, so Moley has to take matters into his own hands by lifting his leg (since he can't get his leg OVER!!)

JOSIE: NO! Never!! 

Ife had spent some of the day laying on her bum, which Josie likens to a cushion. 

JOSIE: (Spots her Brizzle is the Shizzle shirt has been moved) Uh.. Who (SC) (Ife apologises) You know how this has gotta be on show!

Ife didn't realise Josie wanted it on display; Mario makes out they are going to cut it up later. 

JOHN: I was gonna wear it!

JOSIE: (Laughs) It might fit you! Go on then, wear it!

JOHN: Yeah, I know. That's why I was gonna wear it. I was gonna put it on the other day. 

Now the shades of grey have been planted in Josie's grey matter, she solicits John puts it on now.

JOSIE: (demands) Put it on now then, please! 

JOHN: No. 

Ife is eager to see what it looks like too!!! Josie has high, lusty hopes that John will strip his kit off so she can ogle the torso of the year!! ;) 

JOSIE: (hot under the collar) Come on! 

JOHN: Why?? I'll wear it for a special arrangement, if I'm here next week I'll put it on .. I'll put it on for nominations. 

He was going to wear it for their nominations earlier but it had make up around the collar, so he didn't. 

JOSIE: Alright.. we'll work together on this!

As Josie walks over to the wardrobe, John has the cheek to have a peak at Josie's bum cheeks!!! Clip skip, so I'm not sure what is said before John's next comment. 

JOHN: (sasses) No, she's a saucy cow!  

JOSIE: Who's a saucy cow? (John teeters) I am, I know! (SC)

John cross-examines Ben on whether he normally kisses people like that, even on the outside. Ben the greedy 'gigolo' is bounteous with it 'yeah loads!' 

JOSIE: (forward) Can I just have a look.. see what this t-shirt looks like on you? But be warned I might turn into a (SC) 

Whatever the tip off Josie gives John concerning what she will transform into, it does the trick! John springs out of bed faster than Usain Bolt on a cocktail of steroids and Viagra!    

JOHN: I think you do! I think you fancy .. 

BEN: Fancy Josie a bit.. 

JOHN: You really do though, don't ya? (to Josie) See! I told ya he did. I told you he did!

JOSIE: I'll be honest, some days I really fancy John (John cannot contain the cutesy simper creeping onto his face) and then other days it's not there!

Ben likens it to Jekyll and Hyde while John points out Ben really does. 

JOHN: I told you he did from the start! (pulls the shirt over his head)

Nathan comes in to count how many HM's want fish. Josie ums and ah's but agrees to have some if there is enough otherwise she's not fussed. 

JOHN: (Baring his dimples) I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is a bit tight!

JOSIE: No!

John assures Josie that he will still wear it with his jacket; then removes it when Nathan comes over to double check if she wants the fish or not. Josie asks if the fish is going to go off if they don't eat it (SC) 

JOHN: (Gives Ben the Spanish Inquisition) You really fancy Josie a bit, don't ya? (can't hear Ben's response) Yeah, I knew you did. (attention reverts back to Jose) I told ya! Don't try and.. she gets all funny, look! I told you, I told you, he did!! (SC) Aaaaages ago, that I thought that he l..(SC) (John and Josie resume their previous spots in her bed with Ben)  

JOSIE: (Shrugs) Cos I'm like the (SC) 

JOHN: (like a pre-pubescent teenager)I told ya! Told ya! Ner ner nerrrr!

BEN: (Hits the nail on the head) You're just trying to get yourself off the hook! ;) 

JOHN: Nah, no I did! I said to her (SC) friends with Govan. I said (SC for singing HM's while John beams coyly at Josie) 

Corin brings round the boxes so they can all swap their old batteries for new batteries. The rest of the clip was shown on the HL's show: Ben slagging John for his poor vocabulary and Josie revealing she thinks everyone is fancying everyone to John's bemusement.

I'M CHATTING TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH (James 32 Video):

Ben has been budged out of bed much to the blithesomeness of the boy from down under. 

JOHN: If I'm still here, I'll wear it! (carefree chuckle) You know why I said that deal, don't ya? (Josie asks 'what?) I said, you know why I said that deal? 

JOSIE: (Between thumb sucks) What deal?  

JOHN: That deal, just then.

Josie has to ask him several more times before he finally gives her the lowdown. 

JOHN: (Whispers then giggles) Cos I don't think I'll be here next week!

JOSIE: Shut up! (lifting the covers so she can lay next to John) 

JOHN: Um.. I can't.. I think that.. um me and Benji are 2 totally different people, ey?  

As shown on HL's, John confides that Ben is starting to annoy him a lot and he's not sure if he trusts him! (I will only fill in the gaps)

JOHN: He's very very smart.. but I'm not sure if he very very sly .. I'm not sure. You know that Govan thought he was. And I know that you did at one point as well. 

JOSIE: Yeah, because of what he done to Shabby! (elevating her leg) 

JOHN: Yeah, yeah.. that opportunity.. those things are coming up very often. 

JOSIE: But.. at the end of the day, why do you care? 

JOHN: Oh, I don't but.. 

Caoimhe comes into the room and checks they aren't having a private conversation before barging in.  

JOSIE: I'm chatting to the President of the Neighbourhood Watch (tee hees)

John re-iterates he isn't sure whether it's legit or not and informs Caoimhe he's talking about Benji, if she has to know!!

JOSIE: But I don't really care, as long as he makes me laugh. 

JOHN: I'd like to be.. ah, he's definitely funny! He had me in tears when he was nearly suffocated on that thing! But I'm.. 

JOSIE: But why would he be playing any sort of game? He doesn't need the money! He's rich enough!

Caoimhe doesn't think Ben is playing a game. Josie states they already know Ben is a little bit shy because of what happened with Shabby. Ben is just too clumsy and awkward for Caoimhe to think this of Ben.  

JOHN: Yeah.. you think he's legit, yeah? (this is when John brings up Ben's kissing on the HL's) He kisses me a lot and I don't know if I like it a lot! (turns to Josie) He kissed you just then twice for no reason whatsoever!! Just cos he's walking past!

Josie can't stand it so now John feels better then. The kissing does Josie's head in but she supposes it makes Ben feel better. John thought he was the only one and sighs before nodding his head. Josie catches him and giggles so John has to know 'what?' is the reason behind this. Josie replies in sign, by pointing to her eye, mouthing the word 'hate' and indicates he is the one she hates but John had already turned around to face Caoimhe.  

JOSIE: That was really rude, John. I was trying to tell you something then! (once he looks back she repeats her signing)

JOHN: You hate me? 

JOSIE: No, obviously not!

JOHN: Jose! (he must return a rude gesture back at her as we are shown stock footage of the house but hear them laughing) 

JOSIE: What was it you was doing? (does the elbow signal from Friends that was Ross and Monica's swearing substitute) What is this? So immature, John James!

JOHN: I hate being a loner in here!

JOSIE: A loner?!!

JOHN: I hate being a floater in here. (raises his arms above his head) 

JOSIE: What do you mean a floater? 

JOHN: Since Gov's gone.. I feel.. I didn't think I would.. but since um.. I didn't realise how much .. I didn't spend heaps of time with him.. but I think I did, didn't I? Did I? Did I?

Ife answers that he had before the video skips slightly. Caoimhe counsels him not to worry about it but just be himself. 

JOSIE: How are you a floater when you're my mate? 

John wants to know what Ife had said in the background so Caoimhe echos 'be yourself!'

JOHN: Is that it, Ife? 

Ife exclaims she doesn't know what Caoimhe's on about, she had said for them to tell John what she'd said to them!

John had real resentment for Ben smooching the girl he wanted to get the Mac Daddy on with, didn't he? He kept fishing with Josie so that he would have total surety that she did not have any reciprocation of Ben's 'romancing!' To the extremes, that John was even counting how many times Ben pecked at her like a chicken before his eyes.. and we know how he enjoys counting ;)

I think John must have felt so isolated in England at times when he was living with Josie. He no longer could have Josie joined at his hip constantly like in the BB house as she had a life of her own here as well as other commitments with work and her personal life. Although Josie didn't ever desert or abandon him, she invited him along to social gatherings and functions etc. that wasn't the type of event that John felt comfortable attending. So sometimes when he was alone he would have mass tweet sessions, as a way of having company when he couldn't be with Josie/chose not to be with her. 

Sometimes John seems to select a solitary life, he detaches himself from his fanbase regularly and has even said himself that he has hermit-like tendencies. He still allows certain information that he wants made known, to trickle out via his friends or through the twitter grapevine. He may be alone, but I hope he's not lonely. He has a wonderful mother and some great guys in his group of friends so I don't like to imagine him being a loner back in Australia. 

I DON'T THINK ME AND JOHN SPEND THAT MUCH TIME TOGETHER (James 32 video):

Ben is admitting to getting jealous as he'd met Ife and Caoimhe in the first couple of nights and had really hit it off with both of them.. but then he'd had his dramas with Shabby. He thinks maybe selfishly, that he wasn't seeing as much of them as he would have liked.

Could John and Josie ever be envious that other people get to see their ex and they do not? John and Josie too hit it off from the very beginning of BB, had their dramas in the house and out of it too.. hell, they aren't even together and still have their JJJ melodramas! It is reasonable to believe that there could be part of them that would like to see each other again one day.. 

JOSIE: (Fake snores) Joke!!

This has John bending in half as he laughs at the angry look Ben shoots around at Josie. John rolls over onto Josie as they collapse with hysterics.

JOSIE: I know! He tells me off with his eyebrows!

BEN: He's (John) just replaced Govan, that's all that's happened!! 

Did Josie just replace John with Luke? Has she transferred all her feelings of love and frustrations for John onto the plumber? She has almost recycled word for word phrases that she once used to describe John and his loveliness onto Luke. But from her columns, we can deduce that things with Luke are Luke-warm (HAD to be used for punny purposes!) at best.. many think it is time for them to cut their losses before it becomes bitter, that way they can maintain a friendship.. something Josie and John were unable to do :( 

JOHN: But I was very close to Govan as well so.. 

Ife had thought that Govan had been close to Ben and others too but John pooh poohs this 'nah, not really!' Ife didn't know as she spent most of her time in the bathroom then so just assumed he was.

BEN: He was particularly close to Josie and Josie was his favourite.. and he also quite liked John and obviously he was close to Rachael. So I think he had a nexus of 3 people he was particularly close to..

John makes the point that Govan was close to Nathan too. Ife felt like she was quite close to Govan too. 

JOHN: I didn't realise how like.. obviously I say this when he's left.. but I didn't realise how much time I spent with him until he'd left and now I'm starting to.. it's like I have to start.. you know when we were .. when we first came in here and we were sorta floating around? That's how I feel again.. 

JOSIE: Do you feel a bit lost, John? 

I suspect when John went back to Australia, both he and Josie were broken-hearted at parting.. and would likely have felt crushingly lost and disoriented in the depths of their despair. The most important part of their life was gone :( leaving them to drift in darkness, with their loved ones left to pick up the pieces of their heart. Josie didn't know what to do with herself.. on that phone call on TSAJ she was crying that she didn't know where to go, yet somehow she found the strength to carry on the way she'd had to so many times before.

She put her brave face on and endured the press tour of TSAJ without John.. I admired her a lot for having that inner stalwartness and tenacity. John was able to retreat into the arms of his Mum and loys in Melbourne, far away from the craziness :( 

"It's a little bit horrifying just how quick everything can fall to crap.. sometimes it takes a huge loss to remind you what you care about.. sometimes you find yourself stronger as a result. Wiser, better equipped to deal with the next big disaster that comes along. Sometimes, but not always.." (Greys Anatomy)  

JOHN: Yeah, yeah.. (SC) Why? 

JOSIE: Because.. (laughs) I seen that little look! (Aussie accent) 'Why??'

John holds Josie's gaze with bedazzled eyes before Josie strokes the back of his hood. 

JOHN: (tender hearted) Why? Why do you feel lost? 

JOSIE: Because.. obviously I spent loads of time with Govan.. and when he went you just feel a bit lost.  

JOHN: (besotted Bristolian) But.. I'm.. I'm your mate.

JOSIE: (mushy) Yeah, I know.. and thank you for.. thank you.

JOHN: You're my mate. 

JOSIE: Thank you very much. 

Ife tells that sometimes when she was sat on her own Govan would go and sing the Reason song to her. She spent lots of time chatting to him and now he's not here she's a bit like hmmm (deflated) Ben thinks what is interesting about the dynamics of the group, is that they will go up and down every time someone leaves. He knows that if he weren't there, Mario would spend more time with Dave or other people as that's the way these things work. 

BEN: (points to Josie) If you weren't here, John couldn't spend all the time that he does, with you. 

JOHN: I don't think.. 

JOSIE: (In sync with John's thoughts) I don't think me and John spend that much time together. 

JOHN: No, I don't either. 

BEN: You do, quite.. 

JOSIE: I tried.. I tried to follow him about today but it just.. I'm not a follower!

JOHN: I'm not, I'm not normally a follower either but.. I'm not normally a follower either but.. I normally just look for what the best is going. 

Ife agrees she can look for the best conversation taking place. 

JOHN: Yeah, like you and Sunshine were talking about some crap today so I just moved (SC) and then you started rattling off about something else so I just moved away. No, I liked that conversation better - it was about capital punishment! I was willing to get into that.

Ife wishes she'd stopped talking and got into that one too. Ben has never been the most liberal of people but felt as though he had been in the group today. Ife sometimes hears a conversation she'd like to get in on so scoots over. 

JOHN: (brings it up again out of the blue) So I didn't know that you fancied, Jose!

BEN: (Rubbishes this) No, I don't fan.. you were teasing me!!
