Can someone explain for me please why John James is soooo sensitive to the crab/crab eyes stuff?Clearly it really upsets him but apart from the obvious, (small eyes) I don't really understand as I didn't see much of the early weeks of BB. So, as I understand it, Nathan coined the phrase and it was something to do with his eyes being out on stalks looking at a pretty girl??? And there's something about him being particularly upset by it 'cos of some name calling when he was at school???

That old chestnut...yada yada...
I was bullied so I'll be a bully...tiresome...If he hadn't made such a big deal out of it, the crab eyes comment would've been forgotten by now...fool...
I did'nt think it had anything to do with the soze i thought it was cos they darted from side to side....

And as prickly as a bliddy cactus. 
It's his Kryptonite
Or his Achilles Heel *boom boom* poor Achilles 
poor Achilles
Aww, poor JJ...being called names. Never been nor wanted to go to an eviction night but JJ's would be the exception. Not only do I want a megaphone to shout 'HEY U, CRAB EYES' but also want it printed on a banner, emblazoned across Davina's clothes and outfits in the crowd. Was disappointed in Josie who referred to him as 'John' despite BB's instructions to call him 'crab eyes'. I want this moniker to STICK. crab eyes, crab Is, krab eyes, krab Is, craaabbbb eeeeeyyyyyeees.

But, but, but...does anyone know why this particular name is his achillies heel? Or could it be any name that would upset him equally?
He is going to go mental when he realises how it's stuck. In fact, it's going to follow him all the way back to Oz as well.
If you googlepic 'crab eyes', a pic of him pops up on the third page, standing in the task room and glowering at that suit..

I really don't know sooops, may be because he thinks he's positively perfect in every way except in the eye dept. I love how he kohls round the crab eyes with his guyliner to emphasize them since he was given his new moniker.

I thought I read somewhere it was a name the bullies at school used and he told Josie about it and she told Nathan and then everybody picked up on it.

Ah, that would make sense, thanks Longcat
Someone, can't remember who, said that Nathan came up with it.

Nathan used it. But I don't know if he came up with it.

the bullies or the bullied?don't believe a word of his sob stories any more
I thought he just complained about being bullied because he was short. Then took the pee out of Keeley for being 'the size of a smurf'.
