Linda irritated me a bit, but some people are going far too over-the-top imo.

Also yeah I hate how that word gets banded about, so offensive!

He absolutely did the right thing, I was really confused by the whole thing, I didn't get why she was that angry with him. It reminded me of the Michael/Denise arguments

I think Linda's making herself look bad by trying to openly provoke him because I think he'll do it eventually anyway, he's not going to crack on day 3/4, but after a week? Could be a different story...

..yeah, he is controversial for a reason and I think generally a very unpleasant man but he has been very restrained since he's been in the house and he does know that this is a great opportunity to try to win public opinion...I don't know though, because he is such a 'professional'..maybe he will be able to keep it up..?...

Even when he asked her what the problem was she couldn't think of any thing that warranted her getting so angry :/

[sampvt]

Linda has done herself no favours by inventing this hatred against Jim for no reason other than an inherent hatred of him from years back when he made a fool of her or upset her badly. She is a vindictive woman to hold a grudge that long and deceptive in the extreme to cosy up to him as if bygones were bygones whilst they were handcuffed together.

Now she can hide from him, she is now jealous at his popularity over hers and she is targeting him with stealth meetings and her efforts will backfire.

Don't these numpties realise that everything they say and do is recorded, daft beggar she is. She is inadvertently turning Jim into an interesting character by affording him the luxury of acting well in the face of adversity which makes him look good and her like and evil witch.

She reminds me so much of vile Denise.

It's the collective term for witches. Seems quite correct in this instance.

I guess she's hoping she'll make him explode so she looks like the victim, I hope he manages to keep his head though

All the Nolans and indeed some of these grumpy old women on loose women like Denise seem to be cut from the same cloth. They are all man haters and campaigners for women's rights, but in reality, they are female versions of my hero, VICTOR MELDREW.

Denise was at least a bit funny. Linda has perfected the skill of grumpiness so well, her face has taken the shape of as bulldog chewing a wasp and its little wonder her recent life was dependant on benfits. She reminds me of a posh curtain twitcher.

[Suze]

What I don't get is if she had a problem with Jim from the start and before the house, then why stay handcuffed to him when she never had to? After all, didn't she use the excuse that Dappy and Liz looked uncomfortable together? I think it is all excuses, excuses from Linda, and I'm no Jim fan.

Hats off to him if he manages it.

I think if Linda keeps gunning for him he'll eventually snap; you could keep your cool if you weren't being provoked but she's clearly not going to let him keep quiet so I wouldn't be shocked if he eventually snaps at her. Still think she's made herself look stupid by doing it though.

I'd be the same which is why I couldn't join his fan club or really have him as a favourite. But credit to him, he has so far handled himself well in there

I know what you are saying Ammi, but I can only judge on what I see in the House, and he is currently married and she stood by him during Yewtree plus some of his kids were at the launch night, so he must have some redeeming qualities.

[rusticgal]

I am quite liking Linda but she did herself no favours and Jim handled the situation well.
When Jim walked into the bedroom it was the little stirrer Luisa blurted out 'Lindas upset with you'....however Linda should have talked privately in a mature way insted of letting everyone witness it...it wa uncomfortable viewing and Jim did the right thing.
Linda lost respect there...

..yeah, I won't disagree that he did the right thing in that situation but that was nothing, kind of no big deal at all...I usually don't judge on anything other than what's in the BB house and I never did with Denise when she got lots of 'hate' about her past, it was just her behaviour in the house...I know lots of females personally who have and would 'stand by their man' no matter what he has done to them and some of the things have been extremely brutal and psychologically manipulative...I don't know, maybe I'm wrong to feel this but there are some things that I just personally find impossible to overlook in someone's character....

..yeah, she has made herself out in a bad light for that and she hasn't got the popularity/fanbase that some of the younger house mates have, so I think she'll be evicted quite early because of that and then he won't have the provocation....

I think you are totally right, she has likely even had probably an agenda to get him to do that once she knew for sure he was going in.
After all she said in her vt that she hopes Jim Davidson wasn't in the house.

I was actually really warming to her, I was surprised at that as I don't really care for her.
However now if she is setting out to do that to him, then for me, even if he does end up blowing his top, that will say everything about her and nothing about him.
I hope he keeps right away from her.

Last night was a total mystery to me as to her attitude and the pathetic way she made sure all the others got involved that she had round her at the time and heard her daft excuse for making any kind of scene.

[Joelle.]

Well it seemed to come out of nowhere. I thought they were getting on ok considering what she said before they went in, but it just seemed like she wanted a reason to confront him and tell him she doesn't like him (despite him being a gent). Odd really but he came out of it looking much better, good on him for walking away.

Yeah it was a very weird thing for Linda to do, definitely makes her look bad
