Sounds like Josie exaggeration, then.

I refer you to the comment above ^^^

Which is mine.

Don't be facetious, it doesn't suit you

OK, am I meant to comment on cologne's comment that you should have got your stories straight, or am I meant to repeat that Josie always uses self deprecation and is probably exaggerating?

"I only heard her say half. She may have bumped it up to 'all' when you heard her. Common factor is - who ever thinks getting banned from pubs is something to brag about (I'd be mortified) apart from  a total chav?"


Nope, this one.

Where did I say that? I said, in fact, that we were not coordinated. You're post implies us having a pow wow about the things we post.

Josie always uses self deprecation and is probably exaggerating?

I haven't seen any sign of her being a drunken 'chav', whatever you mean by 'chav', so I'll assume she's had some wild nights out and maybe got barred from a couple of pubs.

I'll still judge her on what I'm seeing in the house.

Same here and I dislike her on that evidence.

First 'clique' I've ever been accused of being in, don't wreck it

Blizzie, I can't understand anyone who would boast about getting banned from pubs - bet she wasn't being 'self-deprecating' at the time though

Maybe I worded that badly. I meant that you had heard different things, so which do I believe?

I don't understand the clique comment, but why do you see it as boasting?

Maybe she's just disarmingly honest?

You told us to get out stories straight. Which would suggest we're two people acting in concert against your view, rather than two disparate people who both happen to disagree with you, Blizzie.

I didn't tell you to get your stories straight, I was interpreting cologne's comment about your stories not being 'coordinated'. She commented  that I would 'jump on this', because you had different versions of the story.

Considering that you've accused me of following the herd, tonight, maybe you should consider whether I might be allowed to disagree with you two? 

I've never said you can't, Blizzie. I think cologne was only concerned that because our posts didn't exactly tally, you'd jump on it. Course you're allowed', this isn't the Ben thread
Fecking hell, don't put me in the oublie doublie..

When I was 18 my mates and I got banned from a couple of pubs for banging our glasses on the table when it was time for the next round.
Hardly violent and anti social behaviour but we were a bit loud.
We thought it was funny and yes we did boast about it..

I got banned for eating too many of the free roast potatoes on the bar on a Sunday.

I like Josie, I think she's honest in her reaction to getting the free pass.



Whatever anyone else thinks of her, I dont find it difficult to believe she doesnt think that much of herself..

I didn't hear any "Get Sam Out" chants.  Something Dave said to upset and wind up Sam I think.

I am not too peed off that Josie got the card to the final, as I think she would've got there anyway.  I do think they should've chosen someone else - Sam for instance

I'm pretty sure she said wanted Deman and I thought that she was v genuinely chuffed and touched at her popularity. I really don't see her as a big 'game player,' could be proved wrong in the long run I suppose but atm I really do see her as a fairly straight forward, honest, down-to earth girl. Yeah, all of them are a bit macheavellian to some degree or other, but I think her probably less so than most of the others in there,
Edit: Why when I typed Deman in the ref did it come up like this:eman???

As I said in an earlier thread, that was Josie's Winning Speech right there in the DR, complete with tears.

Do you think that the whole thing was fake then Fairfax?

people get banned from pubs for all sorts of reasons........but as it's josie it must mean she's a 'chav'.......and ooooooooo look.....she lives in a 'rough' area..........something else to link to it.......she's from a bad area........therefore she must be a right chav and fighting all the time...........plenty of people come from bad areas ....it doesn't make them bad people.........smacks a bit of looking down on her tbh

and in our town......if the pub you get banned from has other pubs owned by the same brewery.......which is a common thing......you're banned from them all.....even if you've just been chucked out of one

i've seen it all now.......her weight is brought into it.......and now where she lives.........if you don't like her as a h/mate then fair enough.........no one says we all have to support the same........but to start assuming she's a 'chav' and 'rough' just cos of where she lives isn't anything to do with it imo.....that's just lumping everyone who lives in a so called 'rough' area as a bad lot......and that isn't the case......(and i'm not just talking about josie here)

A bit too down to earth for me. Picking her nose and talking about her toilet habits is up to her, but with etiquette like that she'd probably get us banned from McDonalds in Moss Side (and that would be a mean feat). Nowt wrong with being one of the lads or speaking your mind but she's got the grace of a plumber and the mouth of someone on death row. Like I said, totally up to her but if I was a fella I'd be triple checking before she met my family.

And IMMHO,(OC) she's voluntary put herself in the public eye and on a platform to be judged, therefore I reserve my right to judge.

I do a Roy Walker and say what I see. She could live in Mulholland Drive and I'd still have the same opinion! (and maaaarnin missus x)

mawwwwwwwwwwwwnin xxxx..............yep and that's fine......cos you're opinion of her isn't based on where she's from/lives!!.......as far as i can see you think she's a bit of a mare regardless of where she's from........me point was......just cos she's from a 'rough' area.....doesn't automatically mean she's a 'chav' etc etc...


and is roy walker still alive?!!!.....

I dunno about Roy Walker He used to right grate on me with his 'it's good but it's not the right one' Stooopid eejit he is.

I know what you were getting at matey

i need to know about roy walker!!...............*goes off to google*....

he's alive!!! ..............

Sorry, not all Yate is "scumsville". That's like saying all people from Wales ... you know what ... sheep! Besides I think Josie's Aunt lives in Westerleigh, which, although out towards Yate is not Yate, and is more "countrified" than Yate.

I am not really a Josie fan, but am glad she will be in the final.  Do I want her to win?  Not really as I want Sam to win.  Would I be upset if she did?  No not really.

Out of the two girls left im glad its josie who is through.  I thought she was genuine in her response to being chosen. I wouldnt be too bothered if she won. Id love her and sam in teh final, id say their love / hate brother/sister relationship is the most genuine in there.

No Super, not a fan but no body could quibble that it was a massive pr coup forJosie to become the winner. Very Sally Fieldish!!!Perhaps its just my personal take on it but the minute it was shown I thought, that's it she has it in the bag, aided by BB and their editing team.

I'm just going to follow you around the forum nodding

I like that

You like me, you really like me! 

I'm confused now Fairfax, so you din't think it was fake but you do think she's an actress???

Don't be confused Supes, as Siavish would say, it is what it is. Sorry I can't articulate it any better.Just feel iffy about the whole 'golden ticket' to the eviction and for BB showing Josies acceptace speech in the diary room. As I said just my opinion.

You can't blame BB for showing her in the diary room though. It's part of the story. If someone is given a pass to the final, you expect to see their reaction. It would have been more odd if they hadn't have shown it.
