You would really hope for someone to lose their cool on TV just for the purpose of saying 'I TOLD YOU SO'?

It would need to slip really dramatically for some to change their views I think.

Everybody has a past,Most people have done things they're not proud of,But as Josy said,We're not judging them on their past,We're judging them on their performance on a gameshow,Also,People change as they get older,He may not be the same man he was 20 years ago.

Well as I said there is something about him that doesn't ring true to me. I think he's holding himself well in check. But each to their own and I'm done talking about someone who normally I wouldn't waste my time on.

I prefer to go down the road of "Don't believe everything you read."

[flamingGalah!]

Everyone has a past, some people have done bad things in their past but people can change. Do people not deserve a second chance? Look at Paul Gascoigne, an ex alcoholic wife beater, yet because he was a good footballer he is put on a pedastal by many... Should we not think people can change? Should we not give people the benefit of the doubt? And should we not really just judge people on how they behave INSIDE the house?

I liked Lee Ryan before he went in there, now I cannot stand him... Perhaps you should ignore what you have read & just judge Jim on how he is in there?...

I am judging him on how he is in there. I had heard of him of course but I knew nothing about him when he went in. I didn't like him and I wondered why he gave me a bad feeling so I googled him and found out.

I have no first-hand evidence about any of Jim's quoted misgivings and can be wary of him as I watch the show, but thus far, despite his sense of humour being from a time past, I have been really impressed at how he has handled mardy-arse Linda attacking him at every opportunity and trying to turn everyone against him. Not sure what she's done of note in the last 30 years yet she acts like the Queen of Sheeba!
You state that he is holding himself well in check but surely that is a sign of growth if he has been guilty and violent in the past, and I'd probably be prouder of him if he has turned himself around. Past misgivings if true are still reprehensible but change is applauded.

If you don't know him personally you are just going by the press and a TV program,Jim is not much different to any other comedians what ever they say they are going to offend someone and reading the papers today you will see one of his women say 'if people get to know Jim properly he could well win',hardly the words of some beaten up woman and as for the vicious streak we'll go by the papers again it seems to be LEE that has that problem,I am not saying Jim has not done bad things in the past but maybe he has learnt from it all,do you know him enough to say he hasn't?

Do you think you might need to calm down a little? but if he is such a racist surely he would have avoided Evander, other people did!!! and he had the good manners to see him off properly as well unlike others in there!

Have you decided to watch the programme then?

What do you like about Jim then? He's well known for his narrow views and insults like 'shirt - lifter'.

Jet,you might hate me for this as others might,but I actually think that is funny,I've heard far worse.

'Course I don't hate you
It isn't the worst, if said in a jokey way to someone who knows you well enough to know you are joking.
Said in a derogatory way on a reality show along with other homophobic actions, its more than enough to get you thrown off the programme.

[Jake.]

I do agree, but people will always judge on what people have done on the outside, whether it's Dappy for being a bit of 'dick', Luisa for being a 'slag', Liz for being a 'motor mouth' and so on. It's a shame, really.

[Lee.]

I've always disliked Jim Davidson and everything he stands for.. He's a chauvinistic, drunk violent idiot!

... However, a lot if people have a past filled with demons and regrets and some face up to them, change and move on. From what I'm seeing if Jim so far, I like him. I like to think that people can change and basing my opinion only on what I've seen so far, I'd like him to win!

Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way about Jim Davidson.

I knew nothing about him before he entered the house apart from him being involved in operation yew tree. I haven't been able to stand him since his VT. it's clear to me that he's a horrible, bigoted man with no respect for women - he is trying to sugar coat himself for public perception but I'm not falling for it.

He makes me so unbelievably angry. My work involves meeting lots of horrible, sexist men with no respect for women and he's just like the worst of them. I believe what is ex wife said in that article, I also believe some of the other things I've heard about in the media.

His comments about nuclear bombs really offended me, he said that nuclear bombs are good and they keep the peace. WTF?!

I find it very telling that the older celebrities (Linda and Lionel) in the house dislike him, I'd imagine having been in the industry for many years they are fully aware what he's really like.

I don't like Linda either, but I do think there is a history as to why she feels this way about Jim and I understand her behaviour towards him if that's the case.

And all the others in there are so sweet and nice and well-balanced. I mean, Lee's treatment of women has been exemplary, hasn't it.
