He doesn't like Sam imo,he is very wary of Sam so treads carefully.

Spot on Lee..

Yep, he's scared of him alright. Outspoken male = JJ's worst nightmare.

Crab eyes hates Sam, but he is sh*t scared of challenging Sam.
Crab eyes doesnt have the intellegence to challenge Sam ,I wish he would try.It would make my day.

Absolutely, he can't stand him, but he has to tread carefully around him because Sam is streetwise as to what's been happeneing outside.

Also,if he'd (Sam)  made Josies life such a misery either she is telling fibs that she *loves* him now or he didn't really upset her that much.

True. The whole thing is just a drag Lee. IMHO.

Doesn't make sense Col....If someone is so deeply upset,declares how they hate someone,not just from the BB house but prior to that,how on earth can one conversation where he said what her and JJ wanted to hear turn that around completely.

john james wants to keep sam sweet for 2 reasons..firstly he doesn't want sam to nominate him...and secondly sam would wipe the floor with john james in an arguement..and skippy couldn't handle that

I dont like the way JJ did not defend Josie when Sam was saying those horrible things to her I thought that was very cowardly.

I just don't think he wanted to cos he wasn't that bothered.

John James is his own no.1 fan 

I agree Marguerita.  John James talks about Sam bringing out the real personalities in people.  He certainly showed what a cowardly, disloyal, untrustworthy little sneak John James is.

Too right.

Exactly right.  What happened when Corin dared to argue back?  He was forced to back down - especially when Corin reminded him that he flew halfway across the world and she took a 2 hour train ride.  He hasn't dared to confront her to his face since.

Sam is much more clever than Corin and would see through any argument that John James put out there.
