from that pic i can now see why they call him crab eyes


he also reminds me of a blonde postman pat

 its the beady eyes

Poor old Postie Pat...What's he ever done to be compared to that specimen?

Can understand your love of 'crab eyes'.  I'm also sentimental about them and having recently watched Watership Down whilst babysitting, inivte you to sing along to tune of Bright Eyes:  'Crab eyes, burning like fire, crab eyes, thinks Josie's a liar, how can eyes that shine so bright, suddenly shed those tears, crab eyes'.  There, that feels better.

Nah, Bruno - JJ's a dead ringer 

I'm with ya lainy...
Not in any "he's lush he is" way. But frankly the boy needs a good cuddle. I don't see some thug bullying the poor girls. He's bloody mean and nasty at times but I see a little kid kicking off before they have a go back at him.

What I think we all forget now and again is that these are not caricatures. These are real people and the odd exception aside they are all shades of light and dark. We tend to see the dark or the light in one housemate when we should remember they are pretty much like all of us. How would we come across if every waking minute was filmed? Not great I expect. 

He needs to grow up of course. One hell of a lot. But I wonder if his habit of targeting the girls (there aren't any old bints in there to know if it's women in general or just those his own age) is a reaction to the grief he had from girls like that as a kid for being short. Kids - and girls far, FAR more than boys can be intolerably cruel.

I think with JJ he knows on a superficial level he looks OK now but in all other respects he's still the snotty little kid 6 inches shorter than everyone else and made fun of because of it. Isn't that the same for all of us to some extent?

I think he likes Josie in part because she has this "I don't give a shit" attitude he would really like to have. And Josie of course has her own demons and however much she really is attracted to him will never act on it because she sees him as he is now and believes she would never, ever stand a chance with him.

And how much panstick did SBC need to cover that beard to play Bruno? 

FGS, JJ is a nasty creep, end of!

Reference: He needs a good slap 

You're suggesting Bruno wears panstick?  


( b.t.w.  JJ puts moisturiser on at night, I've seen him   )

I think we know that and he knows it too, otherwise he wouldn't have tried so hard to get into this year's BB. He's 24, not a young boy anymore. He should be able to take control of his life and stop blaming the world around him. He attacked Corin about her boob job without concidering why she might have done that and why she might put up this front of always being cheerful. He's the bl**dy opposite, he's had a hard 2 years and wants to find somebody to blame. Well, there is nobody, get on with your life as we all have to do.

Cologne - thank you.
He needs to shut up and get on with his life and STOP thinking the world owes him a living.
Cos it doesn't.

You say that like it's a bad thing....

Exactly Cologne, thats it in a nutshell. If only there was someone in the house to tell him that.


Its strange theyre both recovering from major bereavments. Both dealing with their hurt in different ways... I personally think he's too self centred to ever see it from Corin's view. He is incapable of taking responsibility for his bad behaviour, and has absolutely no empathy for others. I doubt that even age will give him that; he's the epitome of a man-child.

Aw cariad... tis how I see it too

 You like 'em smooth then Cariad

Sorry Lainy, but I think Cologne is spot on......

I hearts JJ....

*football kicks Stonks out of thread*  

Yeah absolutely. And in part I think Josie's "Oh ffs JJ" reaction was absolutely the right thing to do. As I said. He needs to grow up. And fast.
Is he an only child? I dunno.

Look - I'm trying to see this in the round. JJ is not unremittingly evil. Each and every one of those hosuemates has good and bad points. We see those good or bad points from our own individual perspectives and sometimes we are so blinded by one or the other we simply cannot see the counterbalance.

I find Dave's faux religious witterings utterly hideous (we became virgins again wtf?!!) BUT he is not the devil incarnate.

Ben makes me laugh but faced with his unrelenting refusal to consider "the team" (and this from someone who does not consider herself in any way a team player) I could kick him.

Shabby made me itch to smack her arse with her tantrums but she was also very vulnerable.

How many times have you all watched the post eviction interviews and BBBM coverage and felt a little shamefaced?

Maybe I'm weird because I don't do the whole "favourites" thing. If JJ left on Friday I'd not be bothered. I very rarely even vote - occasionally one token text. What that boy needs is tough love. He is so insecure it's scary.

Ideally rosie. I'm a wrinkly old mare myself but if men my age had slapped on a bit of Nivea and Factor 15 now and again when they were younger they might not look like Iggy Pop now. 

Agreed.  As a housemate I adore him. But if I was in there with him he'd think Keeley was a soft touch. **raises eyebrow**

Well said Cologne....Ben tried to explain Corins situation and perhaps pretending to be hapy/putting on a happy front is her way of coping,Barbie Boy and Caoimhe scoffed,he pounced on the word pretending and both were so dismissive.

Thats food for thought. I shall grab me a toyboy *coff* to test the difference


By the way I'm sure you're not a wrinkly old mare Cariad, no more than me xxx 

I see him in exactly the same way.  Whatever the reasons for him being this way....which may or may not invoke a sympathetic response in us, the fact of the matter is that regardless of how he got there his behaviour is appalling and inexcusable in my view.

I watch him in horror and think if he were my son I would feel guilty that I had failed to bring him up with love, warmth and discipline, if my daughter came home and introduced him as her new boyfriend I'd be horrified.

I think the absolutely worst thing for him is that he continue to get his own way and remain essentially unchallenged - it just says to him it's OK .... and that can't be a good thing!

Of course he isn't or any of them. We only talk about them in the context of the BB house. I wouldn't like to be scrutinised like that, but they have decided to go for it and we end up talking about them. That doesn't take away being aware of what they are like eventually.

I think we have found the missing link!  That bloke has very very long arms.

Editing to add....... As well as crab eyes!

..thats the second punishment I've had today....

I see where you're coming from Hoochie....I look at how he behaves and can honestly say the sons I have raised would NEVER act that way,they're not prefect,no-one is but by god they're nothing like he is....If my niece had ever brought the likes of him home I'd have been demented,knowing her though she'd not give him the time of day....IMO his mum needs to bin those darn Barbie dolls of his and in no uncertain terms tell him to make sure he gets his act together.

 Love it

Exactly Hoochie I know that it is a game,... but either he is a fantastic actor, or he is really like that.... and my money is on the latter.

Awww Stonks, come back in then...

I agree with Baz... JJ is messed up. I'm glad I don't know any men like that in real life. Bloody hell he's like Chanelle... but even worse .

What the hell is that thing with the hair in the hotpants above?

 He's a metrosexual, Karma

Ahhh but does he last longer than 30 seconds?

roflmao Lee 

 nice one Lee. Err...

If you put crab eyes in Google, the first site after the images link is for Australia advances - crab eyes lol
