Based on his own words.

So it's all the women's fault Jim is being a sexist arsehole? Ok then...

I can't with this ****.

They dig at each other. Hm's have said as much. It's only JIm that got nasty.

[Crimson Dynamo]

He is one of the few in there who will apologise and face difficult situations alone and not crying in his bed surrounded by fawning acolytes

If you play in mud you will get dirty. Nolan made a mistake to play in mud in her white garments

His apologies are not in the slightest bit sincere. Right afterwards he goes to someone else and slag off the person he's just apologized to, or make a face behind their back or something. Being false and two faced is hardly some sort of sign or moral superiority. Besides, he doesn't face it , that's pretty much the exact opposite of how he handles it. In the heat of the moment he usually just walks away.

After he's tried to wriggle out of it by lying about saying it in the the first place and then lying about telling Luisa to ask Linda about the incident.

Jim's no longer the bookies fave so I'd say it was Jim that made the mistake.

[Robodog]

Of course there is some history between them, none of us know the full story.

The big difference between Jim and Linda is that from the start - she has been constantly trying to have an argument with him - and he has been constantly trying to avoid having one with her !

No matter how much he has walked away from her, she has been utterly intent on goading him into an argument, trying to get him to say something to upset her so she can pin all her anger/hate/upset onto him.

Well tonight she finally managed to push hard enough to grind him down and make him say something back to her.

This is what she has been pushing for from the moment she went in the house.

Linda has no other story in this years CBB other than trying to have a big argument with Jim.

He has done well to hold his tongue for so long. No wonder he finally said something to try and make her back off. It's too much pressure trying to put up with someone baiting you the whole time.

Yeah he'll regret that one, I think he might end up trying even harder to not crack, that was a slip up and it came on Day 14, he managed to go two weeks without snapping but it sort of happened so he'll be panicking a bit now I think

It will be interesting to hear the rent-a-mobs reactions to Jim tonight. Not that they are any indicator of popularity as such, just that those reactions tend to have an impact on the house/hm's.

[smudgie]

Quite funny how Jim was asking about there not being a man there, he was not there for all his kids.

I think he was just trying to mingle smudgie and show interest,I saw nothing wrong with him asking that,I'de have asked aswell to be honest as I have done sometimes to people,i don't think there was any reason for Linda to butt in on that convo,she hates it when he tries to get to know people and although he shouldn't have said that I can see why he did,when people are constantly nasty to you and yawping in your ear you say things to hurt people and regret it after which is what I thik happened here,she wasn't blameless at all.

Not so. They are each as bad as each other according to the HM's who are actually THERE. I have seen him being snide to her and talking over her as if she isn't there on several occasions.
Some people must get different HL shows than others - there must be a 'Jim Davidson does no wrong' version.

The way I saw it, he was having a little dig, however, Louisa is big enough and strong enough to defend herself.
Linda did not have to have a go at him.
I think that Linda and Jim are on a mission to carp at each other at every given opportunity.

I agree, he has been instructed to walk away.... Except this time he couldn't help himself and the poison came out, so what if she felt his comment was a leading one? It was when you look at it.

[FrankCarsonsDressingRoom]

Pffffft!This is all getting very boring now....

It is quite funny to watch though

[flamingGalah!]

Yes Linda doesn't like him & Jim doesn't like her, but he isn't the one constantly goading her & trying to turn the rest of the house againt her is he? Says far more about her than it does about Jim!

I've defended him on several occasions. In the thread about him saying the crowd are morons and in the one where people said he slurred his words because he was drunk. I also praised him in another thread for comforting a HM.
When I think he hasn't done anything wrong, I'll say so.

What do you say to that Kaz?

[Munchkins]

Ive liked what Linda did once, when she defended Luisa and stated she would sleep with 5 men in one night if she could
And ill happily admitt Jims faults lol

So tell us then. I'm all ears.

[Pincho Paxton]

Linda has emotional issues, and Jim has issues with emotional women, so they both clash. But in the house it is Linda that is the cause of the clashes. I would not be able to get on with her myself.

I'm quoting myself for Kaz in case she hasn't seen this as I've always answered her questions to me.
