[Cherie]

Okay most people who have liked Jim on CBB have agreed what he said to Linda was a low blow, and a lot of the argument about how wrong it was is due to it being something from the past, but isn't it Linda who has brought the past into the house? she walked into that house with a huge chip on her shoulder about him. She has let everyone know she dislikes him and insinuated that it is something from his past, she has told anyone that will listen what she thinks of him, and his alleged views on women, she needled and prodded him for two weeks and then when he finally snapped she ran sobbing to the bedroom, job done Linda. So why is okay for Linda to keep referring to her dislike for him and insinuate about the past but not Jim? where is the equality in all this? Linda can say and do what she likes because she is a woman and Jim has to suck it up because he is a man?

I don't think anyone has said Jim has to suck it up (idk what it even is, this whole argument is based on nothings) because he's a man

I don't think linda likes men much. She looked pleased at Casey's distress over Lee, as though his disgusting antics were confirming her knowledge of all male behaviour.

Great post Cherie - Linda knows she is immune this week and that Jim is popular so is going all out to bring him down imo - I don't know why the past should be tabboo when it's out there anyway she just wants to be seen as the victim.

He doesn't have to be anything. He's vile, nothing more to it. I don't think anyone cares enuf to want him to change, being who he is is enuf punishment for him.

I hate him for being a piece of sh!t, i don't care if he changes. I don't think anyone else cares if he changes either.

I don't have to care about him to hate him, do I? I'm perfectly happy for him to be a miserable piece of sh!t until he dies. I don't care about him at all. if i cared ab out him, then i'd want him to be better. I don't care if he becomes better or not, I just wish the worst on him.

Obviously a large portion of the GBP that have made him one of the favs and his popularity on vote night disagree with you Alex. If being a ****, like you allude to, is Jims nature, holy crap, just think of how loved he will be if he changes. Sad thing for you is that Jim is loved even when he is in Victor Meldrew mode, wait till he kicks it up a notch when the old hag gets evicted. Without that old hag in there he might brighten up.

seems you do care

I agree Cherie. I think everyone can agree that what Jim said was intended to upset Linda. Personally, I don't think he intended for her to hear it, because he would have just said it to her face if he had meant her to - it's not like he secretly hates her, they very openly don't like each other. Great analogy Sheriff, is it a dog's fault if it bites you after you've been winding it up to that point? What Jim did was wrong but we've all been able to see why things got to that point: Linda was pushing him for a reaction and she finally got one.

[bez87]

I honestly can't believe how much of a big fan base he has, i mean people voting for him must not watch the show.
he does this all the time, he says one small thing to another and then it starts an arguement and he denies it, i mean how low can you go to blame lusia for starting it when he without a doubt told her to ask linda about it twice, it wasn't as tho he never ment it he made saw he got the messaged across and then was like no i said this but he didn't same goes for the conversation about having a man with lusia he went outside and completely changed what he said saying he said about having a husband i mean what kind of sick game is he playing.

i'm not saying linda is a victim because on what we see every night she pushes him and shouts at him for nothing.

i mean the whole lusia and a man thing was a bit out there but it had nothing to do with linda, lusia could of just answered him and they could of been like that was a bit odd after but no linda wanted to push it, there both bad, but jim is vile in his attacks more than just linda being mad at him.

[chuff me dizzy]

I disagree, she did go in house saying she disliked him,but Ive never seen her say why she disliked him ,not once ,how anyone can defend Jim just baffles me ,I was in tears over it

Why?

Jim did not mention it and left it up to "Bagpus on Crack" to mention it. She could have simply said nothing.

She was crying because she mentioned her husband who died in 2007? - people need to move on.

Oh Chuff, you have fallen for Linda's trick!

All Jim did was suggest a reason as to why she dislikes him so much, simply saying it may be to do with what happened in Frank Carson's dressing room. He didn't mention her husband, SHE brought him up & then twisted it into Jim mentioning him! Then runs to the bedroom sobbing to soak up all the sympathy! I can't believe you fell for it Chuff...

Actually you're the one falling for Jim's trick. He knew exactly what he was doing, he knew that Linda would know what he was getting at, and he knew how she would react. It was cold and calculated and seriously disgusting.

Not at all. Yes he knew it would be a dig at Linda, but she is the one who since they entered the house has been goading him for an argument, no doubt waiting for him to bring up the incident, just so she could turn it round & use it as amunition against Jim. SHE is the one who mentioned her husband & then gleefully got all all the symapthy from the fallout...

And she deserves all the sympathy she is getting tbh. Jim didn't need to explicitly say "Linda's husband" but they both knew what he was getting at mentioning the dressing room. Again, it's Jim with a small comment to wind someone else up and then he scurries away to avoid the argument.

So why did SHE tell people he was on about her dead husband? she could just have easily said "I don't know what the hells he's talking about" SHE opened that even wider,there was no reason for her to say anything really ,was there? Did she actually finish what she started and tell the hms what happened? no.

Well said Cherie,Jim shouldn't have said that but in his defense I do think it was said in a fit of pique,she had pushed and pushed,she had said some awful things about him to everyone,why couldn't she just let him be,I see he regretted it as soon as he said it(we've all done that)that is why he got flustered and he wanted to apologise but she again started on him,what is he to do ?lie down and let her walk all over him all the time.I don't agree with what he said but he has not lost any support I had of him at all.

Bad choice of words lol!

[Kizzy]

It was a spiteful and vindictive thing to do, it was intented to cause her a lot of pain bringing back the humiliation felt at that time.
How do we know what skeletons jim has in his closet that linda knows about? She dislikes him yes, it may be unrelated to this issue but she's kept quiet.
It's nothing to do with gender either, so she didn't like him and vocalised it, it was mutual there was no need to exact any 'revenge' because of that fact.
