Linda will be gone as soon as shes up no doubt

[Jake.]

This whole 'she brought up her dead husband' stuff is beyond silly, of course she's allowed to bring up her own husband. It's not like she's offending him or being nasty about him without him being able to defend himself.

[Z]

The thing for me is, irrespective of why Jim and Linda hate each other - Linda provides absolutely nothing else in the house worth talking about other than her beef with Jim which she refuses to openly discuss but has instead skirted around for the last two weeks, saying that he's this, that and the next thing without ever talking about why she feels that way about him. Jim's been involved in arguments with Luisa and is playing the role of grumpy, irritable housemate in there. If Jim went, Linda would be rendered useless in there - what would be the point in her as a housemate? What would she spend her time doing? If Linda went, Jim would still be grumpy and irritable and would still argue with Luisa. That's why I'd rather Linda went before Jim.

ew now we've got criticism of people on welfare too, someone restrain me

Also - what, evict her and then render Jim a bit pointless? One without the other is kinda irrelevant, I want their feud to continue...why would people want it to stop?

Its little wonder this woman is on suicide watch

I have just noticed that you wrote this in your post. I hadn't noticed that or realised that anything had been said about this issue.

When BB started, all those years ago, contestants were assessed for their psychological fitness to appear in the show. Has that changed? Psychologists were also employed by BB during the making of the programme. Has that changed? If it hasn't changed, then presumably they must feel that she is coping or they would pull her out of the show.

I'm not a psychologist, but she appears to be coping OK for now, and if she was sharing these thoughts before she went into the house, then it's maybe been a good thing for her to enter the house and make new friends, have a laugh at times, get off benefits and have the opportunities which the show will present. Yeah, a lot of people have hated her behaviour on the show, but in a way, that will give her far more opportunities than the more bland characters like Sam and Ollie - who'll want to listen what they say about it all? I don't, and Ollie is my favourite. Samantha Brick, Liz Jones, Katie Hopkins and others like them have done very well by stepping into areas of controversy. If Linda plays her cards right, she'll do alright.

Her own sister opened that door but it wouldn't surprise me given the Nolans back story to believe it was a victim card play because she cant win based on her merits and as for going in and making friends...all she has done is bitch at \jim from the get go. Hardly a trait that will earn her friends.

Maybe.. But Linda is making friends in the house: she's as thick as thieves with Luisa; Jasmine nominated her because she's Casey's friend; Sam really likes her; someone (Ollie?) nominated Jim because of the atmosphere between Linda and Jim, so that person must see Linda as an ally or easier to live with. That said, if Dappy, for instance, has been upset by the way she acted after he asked everyone to be quiet in the bedroom, she might be up for eviction next week. Dappy just wants everyone to get on (dream on, Dappers )

[Lister of Smeg]

I still think Jim's gone ball deep on that once.

[Pete.]

She's a strange one - I don't know what to think about her. It's best that she is out

Its little wonder this woman is on suicide watch, she really is a piece of work. Please do the right thing, take her out and send her back to the dole queue, she isn't a celebrity, she is part of a dynasty that she had very little to do with and is linked by name only. Even her own family have disowned her and BB should be ashamed of putting her in there as she is clearly out of her depth and is resorting to lies and character assassination to get some airtime.

Big brother should have stepped in weeks ago. she has lied and slandered his name throughout and faced no repercussion. how jim has taken it Ill never know. He should take legal action when he gets out against the show and her.

[Samm]

ugh I missed all the action

[smeagol]

i cant believe she is still in there and funny lional is gone maybe they didn't like his brother tony but its odd
