What KMJM said... y'all are talking about what James is TALKING about doing. But I've not seen anyone mention that he actually DID anything. I kind of see a little bit of all of the past winners in James. He's got some Will, some Maggie, some Dick. I think he is playing the game. It may not be a game that you or I would play, and it's very easy to judge someone's actions when you are sitting outside of the house. Or rather, what they say.

The object of the game is to win $500,000, not to pick off allegedly stronger players or to make the show more entertaining for the viewers. Personally, I think his demeanor since returning to the BB house is nothing short of suicide to his chances. It's a game, and he's turned it into some kind of redemption crusade. Silly. We'll see if it works out for him. He's very good in challenges. That may save him for a while.

Oak, I thought the object of the game was to win 1/2 a mil. Period. And if the way to do it is to pick off other strong players than so be it. That is a strategy that has been utilized in this game for a long time. I keep saying this but imo, James is doing WHATEVER HE CAN to win that $500,000.

If picking off "allegedly stronger players" gets a houseguest closer to that $500,000, what's wrong with that? You can't get to the end unless you do so. Personally, I think James should get rid of Matt and then Josh. I think both of them are stronger players. How a houseguest plays the game to win is, well, the houseguest's choice. <76> And Scooter? Moooooo to you! Go James! (BTW, been traveling so will catch up later this week!)

I like James. Yes, he's very rough around the edges, and yes, he can be very crude, but so are the rest of the people in that house. Given his background I think he's being judged because of his career choice rather than his game play. I grew up around sailors and I can say that his tats are mild compared to some I've seen. He's young and he lives a lifestyle that many find seedy. I think he's a good kid playing a dirty game with dirty tactics and that's what I pay to see. If I wanted to watch a loving family sit-com I'd watch the Disney Channel.

Yes, he is. I don't care for the way he's doing it. James was voted back into the house by a 5-3 vote...in my opinion, he should have been thrilled to be voted back into the game at all. Instead of being grateful, he puts on an nasty suit and gets huffy. Can anyone really blame Ryan or Sheila for wanting to have another player return in his place? He finally directed his energy at the one player he needs to get booted...Matt. He could have done that without all the bluster.

I choose to deal with James and not compare him to others.

James was voted OUT first, receiving only one vote to keep him in. Why should he be grateful for anything? Personally, I don't think grateful has a place in a game such as BB. It's survival of the fittest in any way, shape, or form. You do what you need to do to get to the top of the pile. Being "grateful" isn't going to get you to the "object of the game", that winning $500K. Those who voted against bringing him back in had dual motives. And those three ALSO voted to evict him, and he knows it as well as they do. James is playing a game.

Yes, he's playing a game. You don't have to feel grateful, just act like you are. It's called decorum. If it works out for him and he ends up a winner, I'll be the first to say he was right to go after this group of people like a rabid dog. Wouldn't have been my play at all. I don't have to like the person to acknowledge a winning strategy. I don't like James as a person in this game. Or his alleged strategy.

One has to love the opportunity to seek revenge that has, here he is the HOH and POV winner. Admit it, if you had that chance for revenge you would seek it wholeheartedly.

James is all about drama.....His big moment to stand during live show and telling Matt to go.

James, Chelsea, and Josh are playing a great game and one of them will probably win this whole thing. They are definetly keeping it interesting in the house and have lots of ideas and schemes that are definetely advancing their game. Like right now, Sheila thinks Chelsea is her bud and is believing what Chelsea is telling her about the voting. Just for the record tho, my dislike of James has nothing to do with his career choice (porno) and has everything to do with the fact he is a user and a moocher by his own admission. He takes govnment assistance (why? he is perfectly able to work and support himself, he brags about scamming the gov and says anyone who doesn't is stupid cause it is so easy). This bike riding deal seems also to be nothing but another scam, where he basically gives people "ultimatums" to help him (that is his words) or else he can't continue his biking around the US on 100 dollars. Whoop de do....there is no good purpose coming from his biking so why support it...if he wants to bike let him support himself to do it and not be a beggar for handouts and govn. assistance.

Ok so James used Ryan trimmers to shave his pubes! Did'nt clean it, put it straight back! <76> That was totally rude and uncalled for.

I find it odd when people think James is playing a good game. He was evicted out of the house and would of missed being part of the jury if it wasn't for BB.

He was playing a pretty good game before, but obviously slipped up by being too cocky. Now his plan of pretending the four aren't tight anymore is excellent, the others all seem to be falling for it. Only thing is, when someone from the other side gets up, if they decided to target one of J/C or J/S, James has made himself the prime one, whereas before I think it was Josh. Josh is suddenly sitting pretty, particularly if Ryan stays and still thinks he's in an alliance with him.

His plan of having his group appear to fall apart and lose cohesiveness fell apart the moment the votes were revealed tonight. It's obvious, those 4 are tight. James' downfall during his first session in the house was his cockiness and entitlement issues. It appears he has learned nothing.

And James is the ONLY one who changes when the tables are turned?? You all must be watching a different show than I am. I've seen changes from the majority of them when they are on the line. If James did not send Matt packing this week it would have been one of the dumbest moves in BB history. Then I would agree...he had no game play. But he got him out and we'll see what his next move will be. There is no one in that house that is a saint by a long shot. They've all done their fair share of things that make my hair curl (and that's tough since I have VERY straight hair) and it's just a matter of personal choice who we want to win and who we don't. <76>

Coming back into the house and getting angry and vengeful was one of the dumbest moves in BB history.

<76> I am not a fan of any of them really but at least for James, he is playing hard, it may not be perfect but he is playing, so is Sheila and I can't stand her. I don't care who wins just not a floater or a fence sitter, I don't like that style of game. If they do win however then they played the best game for that season, I just don't like watching it.
