The only reason it's being talked about so much is because Linda manipulatively acted like a total victim until she had her bed full of acolytes, then then the tears vanished and she got stuck into bitching about something else. People are saying that they don't know why people don't see through Jim. Why can't they see through Linda? She has been nasty and spiteful towards Jim the whole time and he's human too - it must have got him down. I'd have been gutted if anyone did that to me. Every time he walks anywhere near her, she's bitching about him. She says he's a mysogynist, but she seems to have a very low opinion of the opposite sex herself. She has been trying to get housemates onto her side and creating a very unpleasant atmosphere in the house, which is at least partly responsible for Jim's high nominations and her lack of them.

What her late husband did was wrong, but why blow it into some enormous drama when it's mentioned? Why didn't she just admit that her husband had done something wrong a long time ago and leave it at that? Because she is orchestrating this whole thing out of a vindictive, spiteful and malicious vendetta against him caused by her inability to just put personal feelings aside, avoid him, and try to jog along together in the house for the sake of everyone else.

I'd far prefer to keep Jim in the house instead of her, regardless of his past history. He at least has been upfront about his alcohol problems and has admitted from the start that he's a mysogynist who's having to hide aspects of his personality in the house. Like most other people who go in there. I wish Linda would hide more of her personality. She's horrible.
