Was he voting tactically?

[GiRTh]

When he nominated Sam?

[Jake.]

Yes, and too right. It's a bloody game show.

[seanraff07]

Nope don't think so.

He knows he'll be safe regardless of who he's up against

[smudgie]

Everyone is entitled to vote for who they want, tactical or not.
Such a fuss over getting nominated.
Imagine if she went:dance:

[MTVN]

I don't really get why it would be tactical? Do they mean because he thought she wouldn't be up, because he thought he'd beat her and want her out, or because he wants to go home and she'd beat him?

[Jake.]

The latter I think Matt

[MTVN]

Hmm I dunno if Jim does wanna go home, not now that he's done this well and it's quite near the end, think he'd take a lot of satisfaction from beating Luisa as well lol

[seanraff07]

I thought he wanted to stay to be honest

[Josy]

How would he know anyone would vote for her besides him? people need more than 1 nom to be put up so no.

And you have to laugh at everyone that voted for the same 2 people accusing anyone else of voting tactically :huh:

[Jezzy]

I don't get why it's tactical either. I'm sure Jim wants to stay, and she genuinely IS boring him to tears, the way she is the rest of us.

[optimisticcynic]

Like a pack of jackals the lot of them! Jim and Liz were nominated by everyone and they dare dictate to their targets who they should vote for!

[Videostar]

Nah, he voted for the two HM's he disliked or had less things in common with, his reason to nominate Sam were spot on.

[Patricia4]

He voted for 2 people he didn't get on with Sam and Luisa

[Headie]

Seeing as Big Brother is a gameshow, then technically every vote is tactical as whoever you nominate will have their chances of being nominated increased.

[joeysteele]

Likely yes but then why not, he can vote for who he likes just as they vote for him everytime except for Dappy.
However had Jim nominated Linda that old trout would have been up and gone on wednesday.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Of course he was, it would have been Linda otherwise.

[Jezzy]

But what was the actual tactic? That's what I don't get.

[Robodog]

It wasn't a tactical vote, just who he gets on with the least. You see him talk and laugh with everyone in there (including Linda and Luisa) but hardly ever see him talk to Sam so it's no big shock that he voted for her for the reasons he gave.

He's not a tactical game player like that anyway. If he was then he wouldn't be so content to be grumpy and outside the group. A tactical game player is someone who fakes having fun and keeps selling themselves to everyone as 'a good bloke' - a bit like Callum did in the last BB.

Plus whoever Jim voted they would have all moaned about anyway, as that is what they are used to doing now. He's an outsider in the house and outsiders on BB always become an easy target.

[Niamh.]

Yeah I think he probably was, last eviction she got top votes with him so he probably sees her as his biggest competition, clearly Luisa and Linda are the two he gets on with least. I don't have a problem with him voting tactically btw, fair dues to him :laugh:

[Cherie]

I have no idea if he was voting tactically or not as apparently he tried to vote for someone else and they made him change his vote as BB didn't believe him or at least that is what he told the group.

[Vanessa]

Yes, but so what? You can vote for who you like. :nono:

"How dare Jim vote tactically!!!!!" -half the house votes for Jim and Liz-

[Rachael1904]

It's a Game Show. It's an Entertainment Show. Those who do not participate or entertain, even if they are nicey picey or coated in pink sugar have to go as we would not tune in.

"How dare Jim vote tactically!!!!!" -half the house votes for Jim and Liz-

They're such hypocrites. :rant:

[Sophiee]

I would say no since I think if he were then he would've nominated ollie and not liz.

[HBB1508]

I doubt it was tactical and I don't see that Jim and Liz would have known how the other was going to vote.

[Niamh.]

I would say no since I think if he were then he would've nominated ollie and not liz.

did he nominate Liz? I thought he went for Luisa and sam? (Also, Ollie is male so he's not going to pick him, is he :idc: )

[Sophiee]

did he nominate Liz? I thought he went for Luisa and sam? (Also, Ollie is male so he's not going to pick him, is he :idc: )
you're right it was luisa, I just had it set in my mind that everyone nominated liz for some reason. and that's also true :laugh:.

[chuff me dizzy]

Jims getting more sly by the hour, to think I once liked him ? :shocked:

[robb]

Nope don't think so.

He knows he'll be safe regardless of who he's up against

No, he gave valid reasons...although I wish he'd have put linda up instead.

[chuff me dizzy]

Has anyone got list of who Jims nominated all series ? I was going through them in my head last night ,and as far as I can recall hes only nominated women ? could be wrong,but cannot think of him voting a man

[Vanessa]

What about most of the housemates nominating EASY TARGETS Jim and Liz? :nono:

[Shaun]

good god you're a defensive bunch

[Slevin]

How would he know anyone would vote for her besides him? people need more than 1 nom to be put up so no.

And you have to laugh at everyone that voted for the same 2 people accusing anyone else of voting tactically :huh:
some vote tactically just in case the person they are voting for that way do happen to get another nom or two. people on BBAU do it a lot. i liked how on their last series people used some of their points for that.

idk if he voted tactically or not and frankly idc since you can vote however you want.

[Northern Monkey]

I honestly don't know the answer.I can't vote.If he was,Good lad!If he was'nt,Good lad!
