How are people being taken in by Jim Davidson? - I opt out.

[jet]

He's a vile man and an attention seeker - and all but one person (Linda Lasarti) has confirmed it on BOTS. Tonight Dr. Pam Speirs said he was an authoritarian who seeks attention and gave the example of him going to bed early and getting up again to draw that attention to himself. I have said that all along.
There was a girl on the panel who worked with him on Hell's Kitchen who said he was an absolutely vile man.
Most of the other panelists since the start of the series have nothing good to say about him.

He is well known as sexist, racist, homophobic and long ago wife beater. He admits to being a male chauvinist pig.

The majority of the HM's don't like him. He plays the victim to the hilt and so many viewers have fallen for it that it's scary. He drops sexist remarks to rile the women up and then when they take the bait he acts all innocent and surprised and picked on.

He is a miserable sod who doesn't like music, dancing or fun so other people are at fault for wanting to let their hair down. It's all for effect and attention, of course. If he just went to bed and stayed there - or sat there and enjoyed other people having a good time, the camera wouldn't be on him, would it?

For the first time ever on this forum I am really sickened by the support of someone who frankly, is such an asshole. If the Great British Public really want an asshole for a winner, they couldn't have made a better choice.
Well done. A piss and s**t the bed winner last time around (who was at least likable) - now the vile but newly worshiped Jim Davidson. Such discernment.

Over and out and enjoy your winner. I opt out of any more of this madness as many of you will be glad to hear. Bye :xyxwave:

Jet I 100% agree with, can't stand the man his attudies (SP) are appalling in my opinion & in so many other things, I also can't believe how much he's loved on forums/FB/Twitter, it's totally beyond me .....tbh

[Cherie]

Why do people take this stuff so seriously? Whoever wins it won't affect anyones life on here, it's TV that is all, not seen Charlotte on TV since she won apart from a BOTS appearance, pretty sure it will be the same with Jim Davidson or whoever wins CBB. Just enjoy it for what it is a TV show, and let people support who they want to support without judging them for it. All this angst over why people support who they support is just a waste of time imo.

[Pete.]

I completely agree - how have the public been swayed so badly that they can't see Jim for who he is :bored: He should have been out of there way before now.

[Kate!]

Ah Jet. :( I understand your frustration. He is a horrible person, but I've enjoyed him as a housemate and he's made me laugh a lot, I absolutely don't want him to win though, but that could be said of the majority of them in there. They are, as people, an awful bunch, but to watch have been absolute gold. Ollie and Sam are decent enough, but they've been yawnsville sadly, and I really like Ollie :( pity.

I think a lot of the people who support Jim on here do actually know he's not all that, but have loved his entertainment value. He's a tough cookie and I don't agree he's been bullied in the slightest, it's like water off a ducks back, he's well able to take it, and gives it right back. He's very thick skinned.

I hope you do stick around, you're a great poster.

Very good post here.I agree with most of it ;) but tbh if light entertainment gets you so worked up and upset then maybe it's time to take a break?I just watch it for the shiggles and the arguments and to watch minor celebs make tits of themselves.

[Haylei]

I think that you just have try your best to think of it as an entertainment show, and purely based on entertainment Jim is a good housemate.

The thing that I struggle with about Jim being popular, is that I'm not sure what the demographics are for this show but I'm going to assume mainly teenagers and to a lesser extent people in their 20's, which are all more susceptible to believing that these people are role models.

I know that most of the people on this forum are just viewing this as an entertainment show so they probably don't really think of the impact it could have on teenagers. I mean, I was in high school when Jersey Shore came out and I just thought that it was a great show to laugh at how stupid those people were, but nope. Half of my school was basically infatuated with it, that they tried to look like them and act like them and everything. The Jersey Shore cast were role models for them, and it honestly kinda became their lifestyle for a couple years.

So yeah, basically I think that Jim should make it to the final based on entertainment value, but I'm a bit worried that since he's so well received people will think it's okay to act like him. I can't imagine how many people think it's okay to act like Charlotte.

[exoticrosebud]

he is what he is !

[Vanessa]

I like Jim, because he makes me laugh. I don't know him as a person, but as a housemate he's fantastic! :love:

[bez87]

It would be better if Linda just left all she does is bring everyone down,

I think Jim is a vile sexist pig but really he's just a typical man with a dry sense of humour and instead of keeping things to himself he just comes out and says thing, but it makes for great tv, on the other hand Linda is so boring and vile in her own right.

I hate Linda with a passion. She's a nasty, vile, evil scumbag. She doesn't waste any chance to have a go at Jim. Nice to see Jim fighting back though. Good for him. :devil:

[cheeky_monkey]

:(

Hope you will be back on the forum again.

I dislike him too.

[rusticgal]

Personally I find him really funny...his one liners are awesome.
He is 'old school'...his comic act was that of a 'male chauvinist' as were many comedians.
People take him too seriously....he has done nothing on this show that was truly nasty...compared to what Linda and Luisa have thrown at him. I think he has handled it well.... When he bought up Frank Carson it was a little harsh but Linda had been goading him since the handcuffs came off and she deserved it IMO.
He gives big mouth Luisa a run for her money and 'owns' her every time....she is the vile one in there there is no doubt about it.
I hope Jim gets right to the end....he has been great!!!

[Seraphim]

People aren't being taken in by him. I can't believe you take it so seriously. It's a game show. Like everyone else, he is masking the worst aspects of his personality, but we've still seen him being grumpy, narky, impatient, anti-social, moody and more. We've also seen him being kind, supportive, funny, patient, long-suffering and truthful enough to say on camera that he's on his best behaviour because otherwise he'd be booted out. I would also put the martyred floor-sleeping Jim into the positive category.. Absolutely priceless.

The psychologists on BOTS are basically there to be light-hearted, funny and a bit of fluff. They merely give their opinion - it's not gospel, and you cannot take anything they say as the final word. They only deal with one of many aspects of any person or situation. The last psychologist, who was also female, spoke of Jim very warmly and saw him as kind and nurturing. No-one is either black or white - we're all shades of grey. You can choose to filter out all the positive things about Jim and only see the negative. Others see both positive and negative, or simply vote for the person who brings most to the series or causes most drama.

I personally have been far more intrigued by him than by anyone else on the show. I've watched some footage of him on Youtube and read a few articles about him. I've been trying to suss him out. Conversely, at the beginning of the series, I saw right through Linda, and knew she'd soon be sitting in a huddle, ripping some poor person to shreds. If it hadn't been Jim, it'd have been someone else. She pretends she's caring, but in my opinion, she doesn't actually care about anyone except herself. And some people will eventually clock on. Maybe Jim cares about nobody but himself too, but he's smarter than she is and I'll be surprised if she isn't out before him, despite her having the strongest alliance in the house.

Bravo. "Dr" Pam Spiers' assessment didn't fill me with much confidence. Seemed very biased and judgmental and the examples cited didn't necessarily qualify as evidence for her opinion.

Huh? What show are you watching? He hasn't shouted at anyone, in spite of Linda not forgiving him for a fued caused by Jim shouting at her husband - a man.

With the exception of Ollie and Casey, I cannot think of anyone in the house who isn't arrogant to an extent. Luisa and Linda are the most arrogant people in there, imo.

He bitches and moans about linda and luisa more than they ever have about him as far as I see it.
He manipulates situations from nothing, perfect example was him whining to dappy yesterday over luisa snapping as she prepared potatoes...seems jim can make a drama from nothing huh?

I agree, the other night dappy was screaming and carrying on far worse than luisa, before and after he went to bed...
But what did jim say to him?... nowt!
He set up the bullet for luisa to fire with the whole carson thing, bemoans to anyone who'll listen about how awful luisa is, for a bloke in his 60s that's sad...
He's rude and dismissive to linda and liz, was offensive to casey... he's a nightmare!

It's sad to see you allowing your dislike for someone to ruin your experience of BB Jet, it really is just a TV Show and there has never been or will ever be a serious where everyone will support or dislike the same housemates, allowing other peoples opinions to bother you so much is pointless, you can't change what others think or expect them to agree with how you see things, just watch the show and enjoy it without taking it so seriously IMO.

If you see sickening offensive comments then report them but I would really hope you wouldn't ignore sickening offensive comments about other housemates and only report ones about Linda because that would be really bias wouldn't it?

Anyway this thread is nothing to do with Linda, Jet never mentioned Linda or comments about her in his OP...

I disagree Chuff.... Jim has not shown himself to be a male chauvinist. He has an Old school view to male/female roles in life.... However he has not been nasty to anyone.
Linda's issue with him goes back to the Frank Carson incident.... Don't tell me that she didn't provoke Jim to bring that up. if she wanted it kept private she shouldn't have kept attacking him at every opportunity. Jim just tried to keep it civil but she kept digging and goading him until it all came out in the open. everyone including the housemates became intrigued about there issue...and eventually Jim spilt the beans.
just because her husbands dead why shouldn't he be mentioned?. Do we stop talking about people just because they have died. What was there to defend? It was all caught on camera... Anyway I think it's sad that people are jumping on the bandwagon of male chauvinist.... Apart from the shirt ironing comment (which really was dealt with light heartidly).... Please enlighten me on what he has done....bearing in mind Linda and Luisa have dissed men on a couple of occasions.

'how are people being taken in by Jim Davidson'

Jim just tried to keep it civil but she kept digging and goading him until it all came out in the open. everyone including the housemates became intrigued about there issue...and eventually Jim spilt the beans.
just because her husbands dead why shouldn't he be mentioned?. Do we stop talking about people just because they have died. What was there to defend? It was all caught on camera... Anyway I think it's sad that people are jumping on the bandwagon of male chauvinist.... Apart from the shirt ironing comment (which really was dealt with light heartidly).... Please enlighten me on what he has done....bearing in mind Linda and Luisa have dissed men on a couple of occasions.

Rustic,we will have to agree to disagree on this,we dont know what Lindas problem with Jim really is as she has been too dignified to tell us, I just wish she would

[Spoon]

FWIW, I think very few American viewers understand why anyone would tolerate, let alone like Jim.

I am no fan of Jim Davidson but I have judged him in the house, and he gets my support.
He has a sense of humour which is missing in some of the other Hms .

[emptynest58]

he is all you say but i would rather be in there with him than with linda nolan

[joeysteele]

he is all you say but i would rather be in there with him than with linda nolan

Me too, absolutely. Actually I would likely have been thrown out the house by now had I been in there with Linda Nolan.

[flamingGalah!]

And post for most ridiculous & OTT thread of the year goes to... :joker:

It is a shame that people cannot just accept that everyone has their own likes/dislikes... I cannot stand Luisa or Linda but don't feel the need to start 10 threads on them every day slagging them off or try to fathom out why anyone likes them...

Bye bye Jet (though I see you are still logged on :joker: )

:xyxwave:

[Slevin]

lol but theres really no difference with someone starting a hate thread to making posts in threads you didnt start.

[rionablue]

He's a vile man and an attention seeker - and all but one person (Linda Lasarti) has confirmed it on BOTS. Tonight Dr. Pam Speirs said he was an authoritarian who seeks attention and gave the example of him going to bed early and getting up again to draw that attention to himself. I have said that all along.
There was a girl on the panel who worked with him on Hell's Kitchen who said he was an absolutely vile man.
Most of the other panelists since the start of the series have nothing good to say about him.

He is well known as sexist, racist, homophobic and long ago wife beater. He admits to being a male chauvinist pig.

The majority of the HM's don't like him. He plays the victim to the hilt and so many viewers have fallen for it that it's scary. He drops sexist remarks to rile the women up and then when they take the bait he acts all innocent and surprised and picked on.

He is a miserable sod who doesn't like music, dancing or fun so other people are at fault for wanting to let their hair down. It's all for effect and attention, of course. If he just went to bed and stayed there - or sat there and enjoyed other people having a good time, the camera wouldn't be on him, would it?

For the first time ever on this forum I am really sickened by the support of someone who frankly, is such an asshole. If the Great British Public really want an asshole for a winner, they couldn't have made a better choice.
Well done. A piss and s**t the bed winner last time around (who was at least likable) - now the vile but newly worshiped Jim Davidson. Such discernment.

Over and out and enjoy your winner. I opt out of any more of this madness as many of you will be glad to hear. Bye :xyxwave:

Very well said Jet. Once Jas was evicted I have only watched the eviction show last Friday. I haven't watched any more highlights shows and I cannot bear to look at the smug face of Jim. He should never ever have been put into that house with the history he had especially with Linda. I had thought this was the best series but now with Casey and Lee back to the love or pukefest now that Jas is gone and Jim smug in the knowledge that he is untouchable with all that 'public support' I am beyond caring who wins. I would hope against hope it wont be him and if there is a God he will be gone Friday.

Thanks Chuff :blush:

[Haylei]

I disagree Chuff.... Jim has not shown himself to be a male chauvinist. He has an Old school view to male/female roles in life.... However he has not been nasty to anyone.
He admitted that he was a chauvinist. And I'm sorry but I'm really tired of the "oh it's just because he's old school." My grandparents are 10-20 years older than Jim and would never act like him, especially on TV. He's just a bad person that needs to grow up and realize that the world has changed. He also has been pretty nasty with the intentions of his sly comments.

Sorry if that sounded harsh, I wasn't really trying to direct that at you Rusticgal, it was just in general because a lot of people seem to have the same POV as you.

FWIW, I think very few American viewers understand why anyone would tolerate, let alone like Jim.
Yeah, I'm starting to wonder if that's it. I feel like I just sound like I'm overreacting since basically everyone else feels fine with it. If this was in America I do not think Jim would fare that well; we have much more censorship and are more PC.

[Kazanne]

I seriously cannot believe people are so serious about this,I always thought it was a game,I don't know whether to laugh or cry,whatever is wrong with people having different opinions on housemates? We all know Jims past,some of us chose to believe it was his life and he had dealt with it,the way people are banging on you'de think he'de killed someone,we all have things in our lives that we wish hadn't happened,would anyone have ever known about Jim and his missus having fights if Jim himself had not admitted it,we know Jims jokes are very risqué,but that's what jokes etc were like in those days,even the BBC showed the black and white minstrels!!!there were programs Like "Love thy neighbour""Mind your language" I don't see why the outrage tbh,they were very funny programs from what I remember,we also had Till death do us part ,All these programs were well liked,but it seems today you cant say anything ,even Christmas is wrong to some,it's all so bloody daft,What about Chubby Brown,Frankie Boyle and the like,they are comediens ,doesn't mean they actually believe in the stuff they deliver,people need to really lighten up,what Jim did in his former years is his life we didn't have to live it so we really don't know what went on and who really cares,it doesn't affect us,I'm sure if people keep saying "he's a wife beater" we will all take note and stop supporting him,well I wont,he makes me laugh,I like him,that's all that matters to me,I certainly wouldn't waste time fretting over who likes him and who doesn't,It's BB just enjoy and support your fave housemate,its a game that is all,whoever wins ,wins it really shouldn't affect anyones life,plus I like you Jet,come back.

[Benjamin]

I cannot stand Jim and would hate to see him win, but if he, Luisa, Linda or Liz went before the likes of sam, Ollie and Lee then we are in for one hell of a dull final week.

I agree, Kaz. Jim is a fantastic housemate. We all have a past. Why is it ok for Sam to be have a violent past, just because she's a woman? :nono:

Didn't Sam only slap that guy?

[Vanessa]

Didn't Sam only slap that guy?

I heard it's more than that.

[Kazanne]

No excuses,Joeys family were not impressed ,she beat him,violence is violence whatever shape or form

[smeagol]

its just a game. it doesn't matter who anyone supports. you can find bad in all of them,

none are saints.

[Haylei]

I heard it's more than that.
Like how much worse than that?

No excuses,Joeys family were not impressed ,she beat him,violence is violence whatever shape or form
I think that repeatedly beating someone is by far worse than slapping someone.

[erinp5]

I love your sig! Is that from today episode? :laugh:

The night when they played the Nolan record .

Ah, yes. He's singing. I'm in the mooooooood for dancing! :joker:

Well said smeagol,says it all in a few words:hugesmile:

[Haylei]

Hmm, I just googled it and it just said that she slapped him and pushed him. Was there still more than that? I honestly don't know.

[wendywillow]

im a yank so I don't know anything about jim, I don't mind him, he's a bit of a curmudgeon and kill-joy (complaining about the noise and he can't sleep when the lights are still on is insane) but he does have a nice side, he's also funny and does stir it up so I like that. I just wish hed let it loose, say whatever the f is on his mind, he bottles everything up and just leaves the room muttering when he gets annoyed
