I have to agree.  not cos of it's meaning, just because it sounds so horribly cheap american teen film

sorry Senora - I like you but the phrase makes me cringe - but please continue to slag off JJ, though and  I shall happily join in

You know how we Brits call a guy who is a total git a wanker? well the US equivalent is Douche/Douche bag/Douche Lord. So my use is not literal, but Urban..

Love you too DS, and deal done!

Im still clapping

After watching it again, it looked more like an acknowledgement than anything. It appeared (IMO) to be on a par with the other HMs who clapped as Sunshine climbed the stairs. [BTW: it may just be my imagination, but I thought I heard someone-else clapping at the same time: impossible to say for certain, though, because of the restricted camera shot.]


A final point: JJ was one of the first to give Sunshine a hug.

can't stand the knobber.......he's petty,childish and blames everyone else when things go wrong that he's caused.....after seeing sunshine's carpet burn caused by him dragging her across the floor....he deserves a kick in his vegimite sandwich.
he's one of those blokes who thinks he can get by and do what he likes cos he's a 'pretty boy'.......but he's selective......would he gob off at steve or shabby or nathan?.....no chance..they'd eat him for breakfast and he knows it

Bit of lynch mob mentality going on here.  If you watch it again you`ll see that JJ actually looked really gutted when Sunshine`s name was called.

Posted this earlier when the show was on in another thread.. I thought he'd clapped and looked pleased, but then he'd realised that she was being evicted,  not saved - think he'd thought they were announcing it like the last couple of times , safe ones first.

Still think he's a ratbag though.

Lynch mob  Some house mates you like some you don't, JJ can talk to women anyway he wants, but we shouldn't have an opinion of him! Last week he was crying buckets when Govan went, JJ's so fickle, he moves from who he perceives as popular.

I thought the same. My OH was talking at the time (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) and I wasn't paying attention.

I know it's unpopular to say it but .........I think JJ is just incredibly immature - a silly little boy. I said it last night - I'll say it again - I'd have been peed off if someone threw water on my bed. He told her not to do it and said he'd throw her in the pool. Just as he is a little boy - so Sunshine is a little girl .........she was flirting outrageously and then panicked when it got out of hand.

jj's problem is.....if he does something in his eyes 'it's funny'...if someone else does something it's not and he has to issue a 'warning'.....he did it with both josie and sunshine........he can dish it out but he can't take it..he'll blame anyone rather than take responsibility for his own actions......he can goad and taunt.....ie:rachel,ben....but if someone gives it back he can't take it..then plays the victim

I agree it makes me cringe....

Sorry Col, no its not, its more of a vaginal wash and that was way before urban dictionary was invented....

I England a douche is a vaginal wash. In France a Douche is a shower.

Whatever .........I have to agree the expression makes me wince - I know it's 'urban' and all that and although offensive - doesn't really seem appropriate IMO.

Which makes it all the more appropriate when used in relation to JJ...

JJ seen clapping.

I know it's just a random screen shot, but he does look extremely pleased that Sunshine's name was called out.

Another adopted Americanism Next thing, you`ll be wanting to "whoop his ass" instead of "kick his arse"

I hate Americanisms    don't get me started on the word "tad"

As for swear words, we have a fantastic native array to choose from, no need for imports !

Is tad American? It has been around for years.

yes, but not forever,  I remember when it started here and it has never sounded right to me...what's wrong with using a bit, or a little!!!!!!!!!!!!

All part 'n' parcel of "globalization" - no culture is absolutely free from it. 

Now I am going to have to look it up... I am sure I have heard it in old films... " a tad more sugar old bean" sort of thing.

oh I don't mind importing bits and pieces from all countries...it makes life more colourful ...........it's just the massive overdose of american culture that  irritates me,   A lot of it is just cheap and nasty and derived from shit downmarket  crap TV programmes 

You should have seen the steam come out of my ears when the BBC morning news people starting using "drive-time" instead of rush hour 

Trust me...you haven't....unless by old you mean the 1980s

I didn't see him clapping his hands.  I thought he looked quite upset.

LOL.
I am sure I make things up as I go along!
It just sounds so old dammit!

you were right darlo ... indeed he does clap his hands .... but I'm not sure it was in a bad way .... just a reaction to the situation .... depends what take you have on it I suppose.

My thoughts exactly DS. I believe "tad" is quentisentially English though.
Have a nice day y`all

Don`t get me started on Prom Night!

Oh i know......  WHAT'S WRONG WITH  BALLS  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARRRRGGHHHHH!!!!!!

Nuffink !!!!!

I've watched it again and did spot him clapping his hands, not in a nasty way just being gracious towards Sunshine.

I would like to see the evidence against Shabby. 

JJ treated Rachael horrendously in an aggressive and intimidating manner - the poor girl had done nothing wrong - other than expressing some natural mannerism with her eyes that he took great offence to - but also does himself!

Just a few days ago we saw Sunshine withdraw under her duvet with her eyes welling up unable to take any more of JJ's so called humour - he just simply couldn't stop and leave her alone. Ironically(or hypocritically, even) he was doing to Sunshine what he had accused Josie of having done to him.

I'm finding JJ a fascinating character to watch. He strikes me as a complex individual who displays good and bad qualities; unfortunately the bad qualities might outweigh the good.

John James is certainly entertaining and I dislike him, when he wants to be nice then he's fine but he does have a right temper anf argumentative plus very paranoid.. I do see more bad qualities in him then good.


At least if he crosses Josie she takes no crap.

ahhh... I get quite patriotic when I think of our swear words...  and I am not usually the patriotic type.   

I love our swear words, when used well & not just as a wild card for gaps in vocab!

So do i you great galloping wazzock
