This is about the numbers game, getting people on 'their side' using their manufactured upset as a way of hooking well meaning others in. No one likes to see someone cry and the Denise/Lindas know this so always make damn sure other people see them cry so they can say 'what's the matter' 'oh it's jim/michael'.

I know people who do exactly the same thing, including in my own family. It usually gets fuelled by alcohol - just as it often did with Denise.

This is why i can't stand watching it on BB as i know how dangerous that type of person can be in successfully turning others against an individual.

Jim is a lot more patient than Michael. It has to be said. The man deseves a medal for putting up with her.
