Just take a minute and be honest, never mind the vile retorts defending your fav......If Jim was a female and Linda a man and Linda-man was persuing and berating Jim-woman like linda is doing now........what would happen. ??????
1. Would she/he be kicked off the show for bullying
2. Would he/she be getting death threats over the net
3. would he/she be safe in public again.
I am sure you will have your own spin but if we are to believe that men and woman are equal, why are the producers not stepping in. It should never have gotten so far as to push Jim over the edge and drop him bomb. This is what the producers wanted and its borderline assisted assassination of character and stalking.
..do you mean with what happened the other night and the Frank Carson thing..?..I haven't read any threads today so I don't know if something else has happened...

As the hm's have commented... it's tit for tat with Linda and Jim, so reversing the roles would make it exactly the same.

big brother has always thrown housemates to the wolves.
the problem is, if bigbrother steps in, viewers will start saying its tame and scripted.

Both at fault, let me get on with it.
Thought this was gonna be a thread about reversing a Rolls Royce.
Think you are looking for this kind roles.
Tricky language is English with all these different spelling's of words.

Completely agree with this....Linda has been more blatant on a daily basis but Jim has given his fair share too... For two of the oldest in the house. They are acting the most like school kids IMO

Remember Cleo Roccos (or whatever her name was) who followed Dirk Benedict around the house flirting with him and trying to snog him and touch him, even when he told her politely to go away? wasn't that sexual harassment ? if the roles were reversed then Dirk would have been booted out, but Cleo got away with it.
So double standards has been going on for along time on BB.

But it was all done in the best possible taste.
Kenny Everett joke there as Cleo was Kenny's good friend
