[Lee.]

We see tiny snippets a day, if they are singling him out it's got to have a reason.

Because he is a miserable ****. He's the epitome of an old man and really sad to watch. He has his funny moments but they for me get sidelined by his depressing attitude. If he wants peace and quiet then why go on CBB. Plus his background still sits with me, I would hate to see somebody with that kind of past win.

He does Lee,he has come out with some great one liners.
He sort of irritated me tonight by 'not' nominating Linda however,of course she was there as usual with hers for him.

If anyone has come across really uneventful, sour faced, miserable and contributing next to nothing to this series it would for me be Linda.

[Vanessa]

It's a good thing. He's funny when he's grumpy. :joker:

[Kate!]

I've not seen Linda have any fun in the house, not once, Jim has had quite a few moments.

Maybe if Luisa goes this week he'll perk up, but he seems fine to me.

I'd still say Linda has contributed more than Sam. I'm yet to see her do anything remotely interesting, or infact anything.

:hugesmile: Ironically yes Vanessa to that, as you say even when he is moaning it is still funny to watch and contributing more to the series than most.

[MarcusMel]

When you seek revenge dig two graves - old Chinese saying

[MTVN]

Yeah Linda is much more miserable, plus when Luisa moans or is really rude to people its just her being 'honest', 'upfront', 'a strong woman' etc. When Jim does the same it just makes him a 'miserable old bastard'

[joeysteele]

I'd really,genuinely love to agree with you but I cannot think of a thing she has done of any note really.
Except sit there sort of looking disapprovingly on.

[Kazanne]

I love it when Jim has a grumpy rant as it's always tempered with a little smile,he never seems to be serious to me,I find him so funny,plus BB don't show some stuff like on BBBOTS when he was making Dappy laugh one night doing a chef impression,it wasn't shown on the HL show at all.

[Josy]

Yep.

Luisa's one of those that can dish it out and claim it's her being honest but can't take it when she gets it back.

She proved that during the nominations, she was allowed to say whatever she wanted but when Jim was having his say she had to butt in.

She done the same during one of the tasks in the spaceship thing.

Then my friend you need to re watch. Linda has got involved, had a couple of rows with Jim etc. She may not have done a lot, but she has done a far lot more than Sam has.

[Northern Monkey]

I think he's just made too many enemies tbh.Linda was always gonna nom him so he's at a 1 vote disadvantage before he even starts.Then he fell out with Jas and Luisa,Lionel stabbed him in the back and Lee is a spineless turd who had to change his vote then a couple of outside votes.Don't think he'll go though tbh.

Oh Lord you are a Jim fan? Dear God I thought you had good taste usually.

Linda's mission since she saw Jim was to turn as much people against him as possible, it's worked with Sam and Ollie and Sam herself admits she doesn't have a problem with Jim.

[Lee.]

I've never liked him.. I even said I wouldn't watch if he went in. However.. I believe people can (and do) change and so far I find him one of the few likeable ones in the house.

Exactly Josy.

Nothing wrong with being miserable, it's not a crime.

Some of Britain's best loved characters were miserable, Albert Steptoe, Alf Garnett, Rigsby, Basil Fawlty, Victor Meldrew and Jim Royle to name a few.

Another comedian who often gets called miserable won a celebrity big brother Jack Dee.

Yeah,Agree,She's orrible!It's not fair on him really,She's got a problem with him and she's turning the fence sitters against him whilst she quietly flys under the radar spreading her poison.

Yes, and Linda got 1. The HM's are the ones who are seeing them both 24 hours a day, not us.

But Jack was miserable without having a pop at people all the time, BIG difference there.

Linda's made a point of befriending the younger girls though which I think is crucial; Jim's been quite blunt about what he thinks of people so that's gonna attract nominations. But yes, Jim's clearly not the most fun to be around :laugh: I think it's silly of them to nominate him though, I think he's gonna keep on surviving in these evictions...

I do too. I think he'll definitely make the final, thanks to Luisa and to a lesser extent Jasmine for giving him air time. If the girls just ignored him when he's miserable he wouldn't be seen much at all as he hasn't done anything note worthy. He hasn't had an independent story line of his own. I think he's getting the sympathy vote from the public who don't like the raunchiness of the 2 girls.

I think so too, I think it's a typical British vote for the underdog - Jim's taking no prisoners in there and isn't befriending people to get ahead in the game; and Britain has always loved grumpy old men. Despite his past, Jim was quite popular at the height of his career and I don't think that kind of support would ever completely go away no matter how horrible he is in real life.

How do you know 'it's' worked with Ollie? Did you hear a conversation that confirmed that? Are you saying he has no mind of his own?
As for Sam, she said that when Linda was cooking and doing her best, Jim was making snide remarks to her, which he does a lot more to Linda that she does to him.
5 other people nommed Jim which had nothing to do with Linda. He is obviously not liked in the house for various reasons.

I'm no fan of Linda, but give the women a break. She isn't the reason Jim had 7 nominations, Jim himself is.

4 actually Lee wasn't going to nominate him until he was forced to change his vote for Sam.

And I said it had worked for both Sam and Ollie because they both used Linda in their nomination reasons in private last week.

So that automatically means Linda tried to turn them against Jim? Did they SAY that Linda influenced them? Ollie and Sam are both smart people with eyes and ears and minds of their own.
They both said that Jim ignores Linda in conversation. They both said he was snide to her.
An example: I have seen Jim pick on Linda for no good reason and then when she got annoyed he said this same line on 3 separate occasions "Like another vat of wine, dear?" How provocative is that? And SHE just ignored HIM each time. Jim's not the only one who shows self control. What is that about anyway, coming from a man with a drink problem? Not one Jim fan has commented on that. They hear what they want to hear and ignore the rest.

People need to stop blaming Linda, then Luisa, then Jasmine, then Lionel for Jim's lack of popularity in the house. He brings it on himself through his own actions.

..yeah, I agree with both of these..I think that the public do like the 'underdog' and Jim was most certainly that when he went in and especially as his behaviour has been relatively contained in the house...whether that's genuine or not, I really don't know but Luisa is quite 'loud/in your face..' and the 5 sexual partners thing would not have endeared the public toward her and neither will Jasmine's 'showmance' with Lee and she's also quite screechy and irritating, so I think there will be a lot of people who will much prefer Jim's personality..the thing which I don't like about Jim's humour is that it's always directed at someone quite personally, whereas if anyone else says something, they don't try to mask it with humour, they just say it outright..but I guess he's a comedian and it all maybe is second nature to him...


..I think for me personally, the BB celebrity housemates don't have as much substance as some of them used to have...that doesn't apply to all of them but on the whole/in general..there are still some interesting celebrities but sometimes when it comes to choosing a favourite, it becomes for me, who do I least dislike...and obviously the entertainment of them as well, which atm both Luisa and Jim provide because of their dislike for each other....

[Cherie]

But Jack was miserable without having a pop at people all the time, BIG difference there.

Has he had "a pop" at Sam, Olllie, Dappy, Casey, Lionel, Liz, Lee? as far as I can see its just Luisa and Jasmine, how can you not see that they call him all sorts of names and try and purposely set out to be horrible and yet he should sit back and suck it up?

[lime]

Because he is miserable and I think he would even admit that.Sam did mention Linda in her nomination but what she said was that whilst he hadn't offended her she hears him making snide remarks at Linda whilst she is making the food.She said there is no need for it as Linda is simply trying to make food for the house.Jim acknowledged her reason and didn't seem to find it an untruth.

Fair enough we haven't been shown but Sam seemed upset by what Jim had been doing to Linda.
I think its unfair to blame Linda(whom I don't Like) on Ollie and Sam's nominations.

Excellent point Cherie and a fact that seems to have been overlooked too. That is all but 4 of the remaining housemates that he hasn't really said anything as to having a 'pop' at.
Then also if you add Evander from last week,he didn't have any problems with him either.
Really good point Cherie, well said.

[Jake.]

He's singled put as being miserable, because he is. Just like Luisa is singled out as a bitch, Lee is singled out as being a player, Linda is singled out as being a wind-up merchant... it's because they all are.

[sampvt]

How the hell can they say Jim is boring and grumpy. Sam, Ollie, Liz and Linda have all gone AWOL and nobody cares that they are radar diving. Jim is now carrying the show for me with his hatred of the fame *****s with the morals and manners of tramps.

His one liners and his put downs are legendary plus he is showing us all how not to get into conflict when faced with people who are deliberately confrontational. The truth is that some of our fellow posters are not happy because they think the show evolves around sex, lies and fights and their habits are not being fed because Jim chooses to act like a gentleman.

But Jim isn't an underdog, lol. He is one of the faves to win the show. The underdog would be Liz.

[rusticgal]

He is grumpy cos he cant stand Luisa and Jasmines behaviour.... its an excuse. At least he is not being two faced like Lionel....who is their buddy one minute and slagging them off the next albeit he has confronted them.
Liz and Linda probably find them equally annoying but are really holding back and sitting on the fence....they need to go NOT Jim.
