How smug ?

[chuff me dizzy]

Hiya Mr Bighead :xyxwave:,arrogant Jim telling BB if he stays tonight he WILL win ,pity is hes going to be right, what an arrogant gett, and bless him hes now said he wants to be mates with Linda ,tell him to piss off Linda girl !!!

[Vanessa]

He said IF he survives he wants to win for the fans. And i agree he has a very good chance of winning. :)

[Z]

He is totally smug but he's also being realistic - he's survived four evictions in a row, it's clear that the public like him. Be interesting to see what happens next in the house, the next two days are going to be brilliant watching everyone else turn on each other and Jim quietly watching it all happen.

[Heaven = Winner]

Tbh I thought that was a little arrogant of him, saying he'll definitely win if he survived this eviction. I mean it's easy to understand why, given that he has survived every eviction so far, but arrogance is an unattractive quality to possess.

[Josy]

Yes probably a bit smug but so what, he's not the first.

Also he said he wasn't going to give up trying to be nice to Linda and maybe they could become friends nothing about wanting to be mates.....

Why can't people debate with facts rather than twisting everything.

[chuff me dizzy]

No he didnt ,he said I WILL win

Yes chuff I was talking about the next part of your post, you twisted what he said into something negative when that's not the way he meant by it at all.

Only a little bit arrogant ? :shocked: First time in any BB someone sat in Diary room and said I WILL win

[Vanessa]

No he didnt ,he said I WILL win

So he wants to win. The others are all desperate to win as well.

Wish you were right, but hes won it ,but does he deserve to ? not on your Nelly !!

[Nemo123]

Jim has made a great effort to win this contest.

[Z]

Wish you were right, but hes won it ,but does he deserve to ? not on your Nelly !!

Deserves it more than Sam and Ollie!

[chuff me dizzy]

Deserves it more than Sam and Ollie!

I would rather Luisa,Lee,even Dappy won it over him, but hes played a blinder with that pity card all series

[Z]

I would rather Luisa,Lee,even Dappy won it over him, but hes played a blinder with that pity card all series

I'd quite like to see Luisa win because for me she's been the most consistently entertaining housemate and as much as I find her infuriating, she's been brilliant TV. No doubt Sam or Ollie will claim the title though. Wish they weren't in there to be honest, the series has not benefitted from their presence in there whatsoever.

[Kazanne]

First time for everything, think he might have been a bit tongue in cheek with it all

I took it as tongue and cheek aswell Cherie,that's the thing with Jim,he does it a lot and gets taken seriously:joker::joker: anyway Jim to win

[Northern Monkey]

Good old Jimbo,Be nice if he won it,Linda's obsessive lunacy has kinda ruined his time in there.

[Pincho Paxton]

He wasn't being serious if you read his body language.

[Vanessa]

He wasn't being serious if you read his body language.

I know, but i'd love him to win, just to piss off the housemates! :joker:

[Nemo123]

There's nothing in the oven, the oven isn't even on. \i'm starving.

[Patricia4]

Jim is playing his cards right after all the crap he keep's getting he might just say Im going to win because nobody will agree with him.

[Robodog]

He was saying it for the fans but he was def being tongue in cheek as well

Anyway, i don't expect humourless Jim-haters to get it when he jokes

[rionablue]

he wants to win for HIMSELF just like every other winner cept the ones who donated stuff to charity. He said he would win and I don't like any contestant who has said that in the past. Saying he will win for the fans just makes it sound better. I am not singling out Jim in saying I cant abide housemates getting above themselves. He already knows he is popular with the public after surviving four evictions he should be just happy in the knowledge and see what happens. I really hope he doesn't win

He did, you are right and I am sure he will try to do it for them.

While he is at it why not win for himself too, after all he went in to try to win anyway as all the others did too.

[rionablue]

Yep Im a mindreader. Nice job also

[Kizzy]

I hope he's gone next... to wipe that smug,self satisfied smirk off his puffy, merlot coloured face!

[Sophiee]

these were my thoughts. if he carries on with that attitude he most certainly won't be winning :D.

[Niamh.]

The way he was talking in the Diary room seems forced and like a publicity message for himself imo

[MrWong]

Weird. Wolfy was hated for saying the same thing.

[chuff me dizzy]

He did, you are right and I am sure he will try to do it for them.

He has been saved 3 times, 4 now, he wants to thank the people who saved him by winning, what is wrong with that, they all think they are going to win, he has just vocalised it.

[flamingGalah!]

Yes, exactly the same thing :facepalm:

Wolf said it for real, but Jim is a comic character.

is jim really famous in uk? not sure how hes doing so well

[MeMyselfAndI]

He should get the same treatment as Wolfy now, but that won't happen, as men are allowed too be arrogant & women are not

[MrWong]

Yes, exactly the same thing

I'm glad you can see that too.


Wolf said it for real, but Jim is a comic character.

Jim's far from a comic character. He's a desperate has-been.

[flamingGalah!]

Yes.

If you genuinely believe that what Jim said & how Wolfy behaved & what she said is in anyway the same, then I suggest you go back & watch BB when Wolfy was in it, then re-watch what Jim said... :facepalm:

[MrWong]

He was. He's infamous now rather than famous.

Well known for being a massive ****.

[Pincho Paxton]

Jim is famous from Saturday night TV which is prime-time TV. Like Xfactor, and Britains got Tallent. People watch TV at those times. The Generation Game was at that time. Although he was rubbish at the Generation Game he made it about himself, and not the contestants. Bruce Forsyth did it much better.

[flamingGalah!]

He was. He's infamous now rather than famous.

Well known for being a massive ****.

Actually for less blinkered people he is now more well known for his charity work & for setting up the British Forces Foundation of which he is the chairman. He was even awarded an OBE for his services to charity...

His ex-wife Alison Holloway alleged that during their marriage Jim beat her regularly, kicked her down the stairs and once smashed a barbell into her ribs. He blamed her for their marriage breakdown.

TRACY Davidson is, by virtue of her recent divorce, a bit of a cliche.

She is one of a coterie of comic Jim Davidson's former wives who have become the modern-day equivalent of a music-hall joke.

All four have been portrayed as the hapless victims of the fickle comedian's bad moods, roving eye and general bad behaviour towards women.

But being an ex-Mrs Davidson is not something Tracy ever expected - and she resents any comparisons to the previous members of this exclusive club.

Her marriage to Jim lasted ten years - twice as long as any of his others - bearing him three beautiful children and spanning a decade of his alcoholism, drying-out, highs and lows, misery and great happiness.

It ended when she discovered he was cheating on her with his co-star Debbie Corrigan in his stage show Sinderella

That article is spot on. It's hard to believe that he has suddenly garnered so much support by trying to play the new St. Jim. The comments are typical of general opinion, I would say. In CBB to anyone who doesn't understand how passive aggressive, domineering and attention seeking he is, he would appear to be a victim. Hilarious. He never denied battering his wife, he said she had also hit him. Big man Jim, as if that makes him right! Coward through and through.

I've read it Chuff ,unfortunately I make my own mind up,I don't take the word of any press as we all know what they are,I have also read that his wife was not a nice person and was happy to have a hit man after Jim,but as I said it's all Chinese whispers and hearsay,If he was THAT bad surely she would have had him arrested,there was no arrest,no charges,she took him to the cleaners moneywise,so she's happy,We weren't there.we don't know the situation,so for me ,people can say what they like,I make my mind up from things I see,and from what I have seen Jim is funny although it's not always obvious,he is no different to all the other old style comedians,I think people take some of what he says far too seriously,I mean the outrage about the shirt comment was hilarious.

[chuff me dizzy]

In 1998, he released a memo to his staff saying that as part of his upcoming stage show he wanted the dead body of a "black man" saying that he planned to end the show by "snorting cocaine from his negro cadaver". Interviewed about this in The Daily Mail (following his interview with the police) Davidson was adamant that "I just said I wanted the dead body of a man, I didn't tell anyone to kill them, there's no harm in that. I mean, the dead bloke wouldn't be needing it." and said that the specified-race was important "for contrast reasons with my stage set, although I suppose that's racist now!" however he backed down on the taking of cocaine

[chuff me dizzy]

In 2005, it was revealed that Davidson had been a member of the BNP but had been expelled for "bringing the good name of the party into disrepute".
Davidson has also courted controversy by beating-up his good lady wife. Asked to talk about this incident, Davidson said:
"I actually went to throw a bowl at her but ended up smacking her about until I broke her ribs instead. We did laugh about it afterwards. Well, I did. She even played it up in the following days by groaning and coughing-up blood more than she really needed to when we were out in public. The silly bitch."
Since then, however, Davidson has gone to great lengths to stress that he does NOT beat women on Sundays, due to his strict Hebrew beliefs.

I agree. He was and still is a hideous role model. He wasn't that popular back in his hey day, even though attitudes towards his sadistic prejudicial humour have changed. He was a sleazy low life comedian and still is.

Perfectly put, totally right.

And yet, so many voters who are mainly women still love him. Maybe they do not want to hold a grudge forever and can see his star quality. Millions have watched and been entertained by his stage/tv shows from all backgrounds and walks of life., he is just liked even with his distasteful past. Which is why he probably will be the winner.

And of course Luisa and Linda have helped a wee bit.

Which is why he probably will be the winner.

And of course Luisa and Linda have helped a wee bit.

This^ My mom and dad watched loads of Jim Davison stuff,also Till death do us part,Steptoe and son,Chubby Brown,Mind your language,Love thy neighbour plus many more,ALL were guaranteed to have them rolling with laughter and ALL of them could not be aired today,so many over sensitive people ,Even todays comediens have to watch what they say,its a bit silly in my view.

At least we know Linda has 0 chances of winning. She's just too nasty and that's why her odds are getting worse by the day. :joker:

Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle are the exceptions, bloody funny. Nearly everyone laughs at bad taste jokes, peeps can be silly.

I wish i could put ten grand on Linda to win and owned a couple of Indian call centers.

In 1998, he released a memo to his staff saying that as part of his upcoming stage show he wanted the dead body of a "black man" saying that he planned to end the show by "snorting cocaine from his negro cadaver". Interviewed about this in The Daily Mail (following his interview with the police) Davidson was adamant that "I just said I wanted the dead body of a man, I didn't tell anyone to kill them, there's no harm in that. I mean, the dead bloke wouldn't be needing it." and said that the specified-race was important "for contrast reasons with my stage set, although I suppose that's racist now!" however he backed down on the taking of cocaine

This sounds so horrendous that it's just ridiculous. He cannot have been seriously requesting a cadaver, and the police must have been satisfied that was the case, otherwise he'd have faced a criminal trial. Unless you have read the memo in question, you cannot really judge. Even his response sounds like a joke. I read the Mail Online, and they are very, very sneaky about the way they report things. Some readers get entirely the wrong end of the stick from their reporting. Do you have a link to any press articles about it?

I hadn't seen Jim on the TV before, but I watched a segment of one of his shows on Youtube recently. He didn't strike me as any worse than a lot of the other comedians doing the comedy circuit and actually he was funnier - he had enough good material to cut out the offensive stuff and still have a great show - a better one actually, because it wouldn't have hurt anyone. If people booed or didn't laugh at the offensive stuff, then he'd stop doing it. I think the audience are equally to blame for encouraging him by laughing. The offensive stuff in his routine was about fat women.. He could easily have made it more acceptable by saying that he needs to go on a diet, then made the same types of jokes about himself.

So far on BB, he has behaved appropriately and he hasn't come out with anything offensive. He wants to change his image and that can only be a good thing.

I think people weren't supporting him because they're fans. They were supporting him because of the way he's handled Linda and what he's brought to the show.

Exactly. I admire people who make the effort to change. He got the help he needed and he's happy in his life now.

Just to add to what I was saying about the Mail Online.. Just take a look at their reporting. Their favourite device is to use the words "a source said" then enclose a quote in inverted commas, thus cleverly avoiding any libel action. Journalists can make up whatever rubbish they want, and they do.

Incidentally, Liz Jones writes for the Daily Mail, but she engages in none of that gutter journalism. She writes about issues she feels strongly about, plus fashion, and every word she writes is her own opinion. I only watched Celebrity Big Brother because she was on it. I've never watched it before.
