I just think that he wants to eliminate anyone that he sees as competition at this stage. He envisages the final night as him and his mates basking in glory...deluded beggar

I think it goes back to when she and Nathan  told him off for having a go at Rachel 1 (again!) at the dinner table way back in week one. The fact that she nailed his personality during her half hour rant a few weeks later, probably rubbed him up the wrong way too!

didn't he say she was the best looking girl he'd ever seen 


he's gunning for her now he's like the cat thats got the cream now he has Jo on board

All part of John's master plan, Corin is just the next target.

I think he may also want josie as the last woman standing

Aimee, she was up in week 5, against Ife and Mario

Competition and jealousy.

When he speaks negatively about her to others I suspect he is trying to influence them towards his way of thinking.
I don't think he needs to know what the public think to be able to tell that she must be in with a great chance of winning. He overall performance should tell him that. Her enthusiasm and general attitude to taske and other housemates should make him aware of what a good housemate she is.
I also think there may be a jealous aspect.  Jealous of her doing so well of course, but also jealous that she can do  well without resorting to some of the mean and unpleasant tactics which he has done. She is more positive and John James is not very good at doing 'positive'.

Corin and mario

I just can't see what she's done so wrong for him to feel this way about her, yes she stood up to him but that was weeks ago, i really wish she had nominated him on Monday and i think she would had if he nominate first

Thanks i remember now  i thought it was just that time when keeley got injured and the eviction was cancelled

However Corin does give the housemates, and the viewers, cause for suspicion.  The hypocrisy though, is so does John James.  I'd be disappointed if either of them won, to be honest.

It's important that he has allies to achieve his objectives. He has got by so far with the help of Dave, Josie, and Joe-John, and their little planning meetings. The principle would have been just the same if he had chosen 2 or 3 different allies.
But very soon - if nominations continue in the same way (which they probably won't) - they'll have to turn against each other.
The little gang is the means of eliminating opposition; it can't be done alone.

He clearly does not like her perhaps he has seen what some of us are now seeing about Corin,I dont think he see's her as a threat to his gameplan as he has said he thinks she will go if she is up he obviousy does not know she is the fav to win.

On LF earlier he said to Josie i will tell you something about her (corin) when we get out, so maybe he does know something we don't, whenever i've watched LF they never seem to be in the same room or getting on each others nerves so it just made me wonder where all the hate for her was coming from, he seems to have the same problem with Mario as well

Maybe cos he thought he could iron his t-shirt on her forehead and she said no

I don't think John James feels she's done anything wrong, he's like an automaton, move on to next target.

She's a Fembot!

As another FM has said she confronted him about his treatment of Rachael,he never recovered from that imo...It's festered since then,nothing lately it goes way back to that ,and then we had the row where she said she didn't have to travel halfway around the world to be angry like he did,that for me was her best line yet.....He can't handle how she won't be browbeaten by him,that's the crux of his campaign against her imo.

Ah, but as the man himself says 'I'm like a dog with a bone,  I will just go and go'

John has a downer on everyone who doesn't jump on his command.

Apparently, he is still going on about Rachel

What did she ever do to him?  She wasn't in there long enough to upset anyone

I do think he is spot on about Corin though

Me too, LL.  I hate agreeing with him, but most of what he says about Corin seems to be accurate.

So do I.

He fancies her.
He once said that lookswise she is 10/10. He collects dark haired Barbie dolls... corin looks like one.

He fancies her and is intimidated by her.

Cos hes a nob! I think you all look far too deeply into this!

....You may have a point there.... 

Yep I believe he sees her as a threat.  He wants himself or Josie to win.
