He may be entertaining but the true winner was Luisa and she did not even come in the top 3. Outrage.

Simple - she is female. We all know it. Bearing in mind most of the voters appear to be women, I despair of the stupidity of many women - they give the rest of us a bad name.

Are you joking?!? Channel 5 did all they could to STOP Jim from winning!! It was very clear from the edits that they wanted Ollie or Sam to win... They were doing a hatchet job on Jim just like they did on Arron, but thankfully, just like with Arron, the brilliant voting public ensured his victory!!

So no women have ever won Big Brother??

Many so called feminists are the truly sexist ones...

Very few and bearing in mind most voters are women, and most women get voted out early - speaks volumes. This year, like most years, the women got all the boos and the guys got all the cheers - it was so predictable. As I have said previously, idiots come in all shapes, sizes and sexes.

If there is any truth to your claim that some feminists are sexist - it is because sexist men have made them that way - cause and effect, hardly surprising really.

Your ignorance in this matter is showing. Read up a bit on internalized misogyny which much like internalized racism is actually a real issue.

Sorry no but YOU are the ignorant one

You seem to have a huge chip on your shoulder regarding these matters, try to look at things in a less blinkered way...

what spectacular ignorance. you need to read up on internalized misandry , male hate is internalized racism against men and a very real issue that needs to be addressed

I'm not bitter,I'm delighted,only people that are bitter are the sore losers,Well done to Jim,he seems to have turned public opinion around (well most of them) good for him,I wish him luck.

[Slevin]

not a Jim fan but i thought he was gonna win like many of us did way before the finale. i rather he won than Same or Ollie that night. of course i would have loved if my favorite won but there was no chance in hell. im not bitter. i was just whatever at that point. like Jim or Luisa or not i thought they were the top 2 HM.

[Z]

Jim or Luisa would have been the only acceptable result IMO so I'm glad Jim won. Two of the housemates in the final did nothing to deserve their place (Ollie and Sam), one of them had squandered all public sympathy through poor decision making (Casey) and the other one was an okay housemate but wasn't really all that deserving of it (Dappy). Jim and Luisa entertained and provoked discussion throughout.

[waterhog]

so did dappy - for being s genuinely nice guy as his reputation goes against that. i think luisa lost her way in the last few days.

[Cherie]

How dare they be bitter

A genuinely nice guy who thinks women should behave differently to men sexually and who thinks that women who sleep around like men are dirty. He has slept around on the mother of his children many times apparently, but he doesn't think that makes him dirty - he is a man.

That is blatant, ignorant sexism, which is no better than racism or homophobia. From a black man who would no doubt abhore racism it makes a double whammy - a sexist and a hypocrite. What a nice guy - yeah right.

Im a Jim fan so I was very pleased he won.

Linda wasn't bitter, she was just honest about being sick of the sound of the bloke. I wonder how most on here would react is someone tried to ridicule their dead husband/wife/partner. People have no empathy and prefer to admire a blatant ignorant, sexist pig who won a tacky tv show.

I don't consider I am holidng a grudge, don't like Jim, his behaviour in the house was sadly nothing less than I expected from him - I am more concerned that people condone his behaviour towards women by voting for him. What does that say about society and the seriousness with which they take blatant sexism?

I find it quite worrying. Like racism, sexism should be treated with the seriousness it deserves bearing it mind it has a negative effect on 50% of the world's population.

If we are going to treat the show purely as fun and entertainment, then no comments from contestants whether they be racist, sexist or homophobic should be punished with a warning. If we take racism and homophobia seriously enough to give warnings - the same should be done for sexism. Double standards on the show should not be condoned in any way shape of form. Any disagreement with that is simply sexism.

Think about it - apparently BB do not want to risk offending people from racist minority groups or gay people, but seemingly don't give two hoots about offending female viewers. How can any woman not object to that?

[joeysteele]

I don't think everyone is bitter at him winning,largely there were positive responses to his win on TV, re-Matthew Wright show and on This Morning.

I would guess the only people bitter are those who didn't want him to win, for the vast majority who watched the show and voted clearly most of theml are very happy.
