I don't think the giggle negates how earnest she was being...

often I think its a nervous/self conscious giggle.

It's deadly serious, brisket.

She has Gigglyitis. It was diagnosed at birth.

There is a cure for this though. It involves an Aussie, some "wood" (small) and a table to hide under.

I can identify with that. I giggled all the way through my own fathers funeral. Sometimes you really and truly can't help it.

how seriously can we take any HM  ?    we dont know them from adam lol  

I like Josie.  She's up for a laugh.  I hope JJ and Caoimhe go in a double eviction this week so she can get back to the girl she was in the first two weeks.
They are now eyeing each other in a discussion on what week each housemate will be up.

I wouldn't mind Josie if she took as much umbrage ( proper forum word) when JJ is attacking other HMs as when she does when he's having a go at her. But that's the real problem with this BB - no-one stands up for their 'mates' in there when they're being attacked.

She has consistently had goes at JJ for his behaviour towards others, Toid!

That's why I don't understand why she gets called a manipulative bitch and is included in the bitching circle, with JJ and Queefer. She is always telling them to stop bitching about people and standing up for Corin.

NJ Not when he's doing it, she doesn't. She just lies back and smirks.

She intervened when he was arguing with Sunshine, certainly.
I don't think Corin needed any help!

But she does make it clear to him that she hates the way he argues with everyone and tells him to piss off, when he starts getting negative about people.

Most of the time she just lies there rolling her eyes. Put it this way - she ain't no Aisleyne, who waded in whenever she saw someone being picked on, whether she was their close friend or not, because she didn't like bullies. Josie only cares if JJ picks one someone she likes, or someone who could turn out to be her ally. If it's Ben, she not only couldn't give a toss, she joins in.

Ah well, I completely disagree, Toid.
I don't remember her ever joining in against Ben, but I've seen her telling JJ to stop going over the same old ground with him. She told him last night, again. 

She may not be as vociferous as Aisleyne, but she has the same sense of justice. It's one of the reasons I like her so much.

"Benjaminge"?

That's her nickname for him. He likes it!

She was using it in a really spiteful way, when all he was doing was asking for a bit of quiet in the bedroom, so he could sleep.
I feel weird - I find Ben really annoying and would hate for him to win, but he is getting picked on, by Josie and others.

Oh, I agree about the bedroom noise and remember that incident, but Ben does like her and she always calls him that.

I`m now seeing what you mean about Josie, Blizzie.

I`m beginning to really like her.

I'm sure it's not a name he would encourage, rather than one he puts up with for the sake of not being seen as a bad sport.
If he started calling her "Josie Grossy" every time he saw her pick her nose with that thumb and then shove it back in her mouth, she probably wouldn't be so accommodating.

I think she'd laugh!

Honestly, I've heard him mimicking her saying it to him, with a smile on his face - which is rare enough!

Phew!

I thought it was just me and darlo!

Ah well, you'll never convince me that she's not a slobby, vindictive, bogey-eating caah..

When Josie is being nasty or bitchy she often does it with a smile and a giggle, she believes that'll mask the fact that shes quite nasty in how shes seen with the public and that they will see it as playful Josie, instead of the nasty two faced bitch she really is.


And seeing as shes favourite with the betting it seems to be working, but theres still hope for some justice to be done.

nah, I like her too!

Sniggering, possessive, manipulative biatch. How many "Blown it out of proportion" / sniggers have we had?

I've lost count too.

I like Josie she makes me smile.

I agree, plus she really has to work on the jealous , possessive nature she has

Me too ..........love Josie and JJ.

I find this a difficult one. The night Josie entered the house she was running around with Govan painting tampons with red nail varnish and hanging them around Davina Maccaw. I was put off straight away with her silly schoolgirl antics.Now I seem to go from disliking her to feeling sorry for her, to really liking her. So, I have mixed feelings where the Jose is concerned. She would be a much better HM. if she ditched JJ though, as it will all end in tears anyway.

Vid, agreed!

I don't go with the Saint Josie thing and I don't like her or her slovenly habits....but she's one of only three HMs in there who should reach the final, the rest are all also rans

I don't think she's a saint either Kaytee...   but I do see her as very real.   And that is what I want out of my housemates...   I don't want someone who is poised to perfection, nothing there to confront or deal with, I don't want someone who is so tightly in control of themselves that we haven't got a clue who they really are, and I don't want someone who is in there cos they think they have what it takes to be a big famous celebrity.

I am grateful that there is no one in there this year that makes my blood boil!  (for me) no charley ucheas, Belinda Belinda Belinda's, burping Jaynes, Kat & her bleedin cookie love!

I love it when my feelings towards a housemate gradually get changed!

That's the way I feel about her as well Ditty.  She can be so funny but this thing with JJ is really bringing her down.  When she argued with him over Keeley I feel she was pushing him away to save face because she has no confidence in herself with men.
She is so pretty and doesn't realise it.

She is making an absolute eejet of herself over this whole JJ thing. He doesn't fancy you Josie, get over it and try and retain your dignity. Way too good for the idiot anyway.

I agree Fairfax but when they are 'playing' they are great together,

oh I totally agree!

Thing is... I think JJ is a bit like it too... only its not so much confidence with him as I think he's got some serious commitment issues, & has all sorts of barriers up... and all that malarky!

All this, for me, is why this isn't a showmance... its way to messy to be fake...  its so messy it could be one of my relationships when I was in my early twenties!

vwery well said Ditty......although I'm too cynical about the lot of them to see them as being 'real' in there. How old is Josie? 29 or something and acting like a 14 yr old for the cameras to keep the showmance on the road? Can't swallow that I'm afraid....the rest of them are all at it in their own ways for better or worse. They've all seen enough of BB to know the score these days.

Awwwww! you set of old romantics
