Honestly I think it says a lot about the casual/unconscious sexism in society when Linda is hated with such vitriol and Jim was successfully able to paint himself as a victim and is coasting to the win even though they've both been horrible to each other.

..tbh, I agreed with most of their comments on the whole ..I do think Jim is a 'liar' in that he's played a good game of keeping his self control with Linda's obsessive hatred of him and I do think that he's taken advantage of some of it to gain 'sympathy' but who can blame him for that..?..I don't think he's a very pleasant man in general but in the house, he's done really well because he knew that losing his cool would go against him and he's had much more ground to make up with the public than any of them but what he wouldn't have accounted for was Linda and her persistent open hostility which was relentless...there are not many people who could have kept their cool with something like that and either pushed her in the pool or climbed over the fence...so for that, I do give him credit and respect and it would make him a worthy winner...

..I think virtually every BB housemate, whether civilian or celebrity 'lie' in that they all play their game and in the end, it's down to the gameplay that we either like most or it offends us the least..for me, Jim will go down as one of the best BB game players and it's interesting that someone mentioned Arron and Dexter because they were also great gameplayers and what I find funny is that I don't think BBOTS are biased as such, I think people are saying what they believe but they never seem to have a high opinion of great gameplayers or give them the credit that they deserve, which is ironic as they're all part of the process and production of a game show...a game show where game players are frowned upon, how ironic...


...and yet the showmances which are so boringly unoriginal and a lazy gameplay have them fawning at the possibility of it all being true love...

yea i dont get why so many hate the game playing. i could get it depends on how that HM is playing but hating on game playing as a whole is rather odd. hope none of those people ever watch BBUS. they would have a field day with the hate.

I going to agree with you! and add, some game players get away with it because their housemates cant see what they are doing or fall for their lies,

The fact that it's not going completely unnoticed here makes me feel slightly better.
