Day 72 – John James and Nathan talk

John James is in the Diary Room. “Nathan has no intention of violence”, Big Brother tells him. “How can I be sure this is true?” asks John James. Big Brother tries to assure John James who is still saying that he would like to leave. Big Brother tells John James that they are available to arrange a phone call with Nathan to resolve and settle the possible issue; he agrees to this and leaves the Diary Room.

John James comes from the Diary Room and is immediately asked by Josie what Big Brother said to him. “You should speak to Rachael, not Nathan”, she tells him once he has explained. She adds that she hopes both John James and Nathan have learnt their lesson from how they speak to women. She then tells John James that he shouldn’t be so selfish to think of leaving.

Big Brother has called John James to the Diary Room for a phone conversation with Nathan. “I just heard some stuff yesterday and I don’t know if it’s been exaggerated”, says John James. “There are no problems from my end”, says Nathan. “The only issue I got with you is your upsetting people very close and dear to me. You’ve not given Rachael a chance, you hardly got to know her”, he adds. He continues that John James doesn’t know how much he cares for Rachael and that John James has done the same with Corin. “I am not going to come over there and kick your arse John. I just want you to apologise to someone very close to me”. “Yeah, alright”, agrees John James. “Just keep your head down and stop rowing mate”, says Nathan.

Nathan leaves the conversation and John James talks to Big Brother. “I never had a problem with Nathan”, he says adding that all will be sorted on Friday when he leaves.

John James leaves the Diary Room and goes to the Garden. “There’s no hard feelings at all”, he tells the rest of the housemates. Dave asks him if he will stay. “Yeah, I will”, says John James.
