Reference:
she is not terrified of him. She just fancies him and that's what stupid people (and fans) do when they fancy someone...they tend to emphasise the good points and play down the bad. It looks like she might be seeing the light though now...good for her for sticking up for Corin
I have a theory about Josie fancying JJ1 to the point of stupidity.
I don't think she fancies him as much as she makes out. Yesterday she kissed JJ1's pic during the task. It was all show show show. Josie is not as Dozie as I like to think. Right now the gross descriptions of her bodily functions have disappeared, as have the swearing and the hollow giggling... indeed even the thumb-sucking. She is serenity itself.. almost martyred expression.....
but I digress... I think she is using JJ1 more than he is using her.. way more. Josie paints a picture of unrequited love. the big gauche girl with the personality, an everywoman winning for a change. She is peddling the Cinderella story. Except Josie ain't no Cinders, she is the pumpkin and the
rats mice.
ANYONE who genuinely fancied someone as much as Josie claims to fancy JJ1 would have behaved differently. It REALLY would be torture to spend so much time with some one you were mad about and they were not as interested in you. You can only get messed around just so much, and then you pull away. Josie has never done that. Corin's reaction to JJ2 smacks much more of a genuine crush and and the aftermath. Corin repeatedly looked to know (form other people) what JJ2 made of her.. or what they thought of it. You could see she was hurt as the truth unfolded. When Corin was betrayed by JJ2 in the crossword task, she was justifiably and genuinely angry. Josie has done none of this. She has USED JJ1 so that she can play the role of fat girl so near so far from getting her Prince Charming. JJ1 is nothing but her foil. Sure, she must like him and fancy in to a point, but nowhere near as much as she says. Look at the way she ''courted' Andrew. The poor sap fell for it. She PLAYED him. All the " are you still my "'usbaaaands" is all bollox. Josie is a player (as in actor) through and through. She is I tell ya..
.... Camera's roll.... ACTION!!

Edited so that it makes some sense... was frothing at mouth on first attempt.
