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.
