THE CREEPIEST MAN TO EVER APPEAR ON MY TV SCREEN!!!!
*John muses whether they have to cook for themselves!! 'Do we get dinner? Do we have to cook our own meals or what?' Whining that he hadn't eaten properly since lock down as all they had was canteen food. John tells Rachel that he will be sleeping on the floor as there aren't enough beds for all HM's. Rachael bets they won't let him as she twirls her hair flirtatiously. John 'well, get another bed then! Cos I'll be sleeping on the floor and he'll have to work it out. Cos they literally haven't provided enough beds!' He doesn't mind 'I don't care though.' (first appearance of his forthright, 'I couldn't give a rip' attitude?)*When the door opens to wait outside the Diary Room John says 'I seriously just wanna ask a question.. can you open the door so I can ask a question, or what?' The Diary room chair has been broken away by some of the HM's in their first visit (Shabby supposedly). John asks 'what do you have to do, knock or something?' He is reluctant to leave when BB gives a stern announcement for the HM's to return to the house (as he wants a chat) and imitates BB to Corin and Rachel - who lap up his every word.
*Josie is the first housemate to predict a surprise eviction that night because 'they're EVIL!!'
*Josie asking Ben and Mario 'why aren't there enough f---ing beds??' Ben supposes it is because BB are seeing if they are 'kind enough to share.' Josie then proceeds to offer Mario a top and tail arrangement in the double bed she has bagged.
*Ben insisting he needs total darkness in order to sleep. Josie claims hilariously 'I could sleep on top of a volcano, mate!'
*Ben compliments Josie as he likes her Bristolian accent but Josie thinks 'I'd pull a lot more if I was more well-spoken!' Ben believes it to be the reverse and Mario says it adds to her character.
*Josie: 'I was buzzin' so much I can't remember what I did!' (about her name being chosen) She informs them that she hardly packed any clothes as she didn't believe she would get in and only came with 20 cigarettes "I don't wanna be that scumbag who's like 'got a fag?'" She had resolved to give up smoking if she got in but all her friends didn't think she could.
*Another Josie classic 'In't Davina really sexy??' Shabby voices her agreement on Davina being 'buff!' Mario chastises Josie for swearing after she yells about the cameras 'the fact that we can f---ing hear them, gives it away!' .. as moments earlier she had voiced how she couldn't get over how quickly she had forgotten about being filmed - UNTIL she remembered to declare this!
*John chats with Steve at the sofas about his legs and what actually charges. Steve explains to him about the vacuum unit and how they will hear vibrations from it. He is borrowing the leg as a trial and only got it the Friday beforehand. John compliments Steve's trainers 'real good shoes' and is impressed that Steve does yacht racing.
*After the break, Mario is showing his Mole hole to Josie (that sounds dirtier than it is!) JOHN: Is that legit dirt or fake dirt?
*Sergeant Major Steve suggests sitting round the sofas and introducing themselves so they can 'get an idea of who we are and what we are.'John not wanting to be second in the group intros on the sofas and shyly asking for them to go clockwise instead so he would be last. He votes for the wizard as he does't want to go next.*During Dave's turn he mentions how he has is now the 'wizard - named by our Aussie friend.' Caoimhe clarifies that there is no alcohol involved when Dave gets intoxicated off the love of the Lord (she was in lock down with him so has already witnesses him trancing out.) Josie creases up when John asks Dave 'is it like jungle juice? Like the MaRINjuana?' (love how he pronounces that) after Dave has told a stunned group how he gets high off the Lord. 'So what you're trying to say is, you smoke weed?' clearly failing to understand how Dave's slosh fests work.
PART OF JOHN'S REACTION TO SUNSHINE SAYING SHE'D CHANGED HER NAME
*When Rachael talks about how viewers could be watching live feed - John says how he'd hate to be watching right now 'but then again, they got to find out how a girl pees standing up .. writes her name .. digits and everything! Around here and this is what you do, right in the peehole!' (as he demonstrates how Shabby had described her bathroom antics) 'We had a full half an hour session on jungle juice!' He banters with Dave that his speech would have lasted the entire episode of Big Mouth!
*Sunshine expresses how Josie probably doesn't know them as much as she didn't get to see anyone else's VT's being first in (is this a disadvantage?) Josie laughs that Davina told her to 'shut up' so she could listen to her VT as she was gabbling 'what am I doing here?!' On Josie's turn she reveals for the first time 'I haven't really got a talent or anything I'm good at.'
*The others jump in with attributes she demonstrated in her VT which makes her exclaim 'I'm quite talented really aren't I? Lying b***h!!' Rachel says possibly the loveliest comments that I heard her say in her entire stay - when she gushes 'Gorgeous' to Josie's list of good things about herself and that she could be 'first one in last out.' Josie reckons she 'made a right prat out of myself!' RACHEL: You look great, babe! Josie thinks hers was 'really sh-t!' Caoimhe complains that she didn't get a clap when Josie is applauded.
*During Rachel's self-intro she remarks 'it's an experience we can all take with us, tell our kids about' how VERY TRUE
*When Ben explains that he has been on reality shows before and appeared in many episodes of Ladette to Lady, John says that his friend Jess was in the Australian one (which apparently Ben was involved in too) He asks if it was Ben that had snogged her as she snogged someone during it!!
*On John's intro "My name's John James but you don't have to call me that as I feel like a tosser." He says that he hates being called JJ but will 'allow it' when the group suggest that as an alternative (ironically his best male buddy ends up being called JJ!)
*John modestly didn't feel like he was getting in the house - he was convinced he'd be used as a publicity stunt to show how desperate some people were to get in (and that he'd be out on BBBM to look like a tosser!)
*When John describes his Great Dane Ele (short for elephant as she's fat) Josie asks him if it is a harlequin and he seems pleased that she is interested and pleasantly surprised that 'you know about them!' Ele is a Boston and they have another called Dana. John also reveals that he had auditioned for an Australian version but his Dad had died in a work accident in 2008 during the process. He's not sure if they threw him out 'because I was probably unfit at that time to go in the house .. I'm not sure if that's why I was not allowed to .. I'm not sure .. you never know..' (break)
