I have a feeling that a major reason for him keeping her hopeful for some kind of relationship on the outside is his way of neutering her. Unless Josie's a really good actress, she's doing a very good impression of someone whose self-confidence is eroding before our very eyes. JJ1 has zapped the life out of the poor cow.

Totally Suze, sucked the sparkle out of her 

she wishes Dame 

Josie's a twit if she can't handle herself in a frigging two bob game show.  

I see what you mean, I also think he has become far more dependent on her than she has on him. But to go on BB in the first place you surely have to have a certain level of self-confidence and be able to take a few knocks? These people (including Josie) know the show inside out and upside down, they know what the public and media are like, they know the scrutiny they will be put under, every negative including physical will be magnified and dissected. I just can't get past thinking that Josie is not in control of some aspects of the situation with him, or like I said, prefers to deny what doesn't please her.

The sparkle Suze 

i think jo is a gonner  this week , IMO   i wouldnt  like to be a noob    you just know  your gonna be nommed

... and when she says "JJ who?" when she gets her prize money we can raise a glass together and toast the inviolability of the human spirit ...and maybe sneak a glass of blizzie's champagne as well

What would be REALLY great is if Josie can hook up with a stable, genuine bloke who won't entice the mental game playing that she's involved in with that muppet. Has to be said, you sometimes have to learn the hard way. The sickness is out there

I'm quite partial to a swig or three of good shampoo Lovin the smilies! x

Is it Krug?  It better be. 

I'm reliably informed that only the best is supplied at her parties:

Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck
$275,000

These hundred year old bottles of Champagne from the Heidsieck vineyard in Champagne took over eighty years to reach their destination. Shipped to the Russian Imperial family in 1916, a shipwreck off the coast of Finland caused this champagne to be lost at sea until divers discovered over 200 bottles in 1997. Now they’re finally being sold—to wealthy guests at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow, at least. Of course, the wine’s extraordinary tale and incredible age are what makes it the world’s most expensive champagne.....and worthy of a BB Celebration!......I'm just not sure what to wear!

I was aware of that Heidseck.  Dunno anyone that has actually tasted it though.  And the wines they make these days are by and large shite. 

Tasted the odd good one though. 

Loving your work!

I've already got my celebration drink sorted, but I'm happy to share with one and all.

hahahahaha

Blizz NOBODY ties their laces up these days How very non-street of you. And you're an M25 chick an all.

Karma, NOBODY puts my beer at risk, with untied laces!!

*** kisses teeth ***

Absolutely spot on and the really clever part is that friends and family don't see it. Often these men ( or women) are absolutely charming and salt of the earth to those outside the immediate family and always garner sympathy.
Generally the tears and the "I can't live without you" thing works really well. The apologising for HIS mistakes is a good one as well. The fact that you will do anything to keep him from losing it and blaming you... all of this stuff is hard.
JJ has got a lot of people fooled - both here and on the outside.
