He's right wing, male chauvinistic, and homophobic, and racist even. But he did emerge out of the 1970's, where none of those qualities were necessarily bad or detrimental to your popularity. Au contraire.

[Niamh.]

the younger ones this year have to be the trashiest yet

[anne666]

There needs to be a good mix of ages but most of the younger ones are trashy
attention seekers and of course getting the airtime. What have they done with Sam? She is my favourite female.

[Kazanne]

I'm quite liking Jim,he does make me laugh I want to see more of the older ones,afterall we've seen all there is to the young ones it will be the same all the way through.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Sam & Ollie are the omly 'normal' younger ones & they're the ones from reality TV

[Nemo123]

The Liz and Jim conversation was promising. Perhaps they won't pull their punches the next time.

[smeagol]

if jim supports that nobhead david cameron i will dislike him. and be surprised if he did.

[Chuck]

I can enjoy the young housemates having fun and the older ones talking about more serious things. Don't need to choose.

[Jezzy]

I do like Sam. What's she like on TOWIE?

[Jemal]

So annoying.

[Nemo123]

Jim comes across as the worst kind of Tory, a working class Tory, like Alf Garnett. But he didn't get 2 huge prime time BBC Saturday night slots, Generation Game and Big Break, without having massive appeal.

That's true, he was one of the poster boys, troops entertainer. Nothing inherently wrong in that but he does still represent what the Thatcher generation was mostly about imo.

Which is self above society. What people like Jim are about is doing it for themselves, and their politics is if I did it so too can you, which is patently false.

Ive been saying it for years. The producers cant organise a proper show and without the older element it would be chaos. They have really scrapped the barrel with these youngsters this time, they are cringe worthy and so desperate to grab airtime.

But seriously. BB Last of the Summer Wine would be worse.

[Black Dagger]

Nah.

Dappy, Luisa and Ollie (Lee is in his 30's he doesn't count) > Linda and Jim pmsl.

[Samm]

Jim is the most annoying person in there

[sampvt]

Isnt it marvellous. If an older man does something rude, he is a pervert but when a kid does it they are soooooo cool and current.

You obviously haven't seen the recent thread on here about Dappy saying he's repulsive etc.

[Nemo123]

It's only perverted if you're repulsive. But if you're gorgeous like George Clooney, you can have your pick of women, from 16 to 106.

[Northern Monkey]

I'm liking the contrasting mixture of the two.I am in between them both age wise so appreciate the younger and older.I'm enjoying this series.

[BigSister]

If the younger ones curbed it a bit i wouldnt mind but at the moment they are just one trick ponies. The older ones would have a chance if they were shown.
