In fact he's probably seething inside because it's a woman doing the dishing.

Did you miss tonights episode ? he was very kind to Jasmine even though he had no need to be

It is funny how so many people here have "respect" for the older men in the house, just because BBC and British media tells you they are "legends"? I wonder how many British people on this site have actually seen their TV work. You just accept the fact that they are "legends" without having ever watched their work.

Are they actually as talented as you are told they are? I've tried to look up some of them on youtube, and i couldn't find anything that was impressive or funny. I'm not impressed by Lionel or Jim.

slightly off topic but I think the best housemates aren't the a listers anyway. evander was supposedly the biggest celebrity in the house (I'd never heard of him, jim or lionel before cbb) and they've all been some of the most boring housemates this series. luisa, jasmine and lee have been carrying it really.

In their day, both Lionel and Jim were HUGE on TV. I agree they shouldn't be respected just because of their age.

Both Lionel & Jim have careers going back decades in the UK & have both been on prime time Saturday night TV for many years, they are very well known in the UK. Lionel started out as an entertainer, then later in his career appeared as a regular panel member on a popular quiz show. Ditto for Jim, who had a successful career as a comedian, then went on to present popular game shows...

Compared to who else is in the house, they ARE legends & the most famous ones in there.

Dappy and Luisa are carrying this series.

But anyways it was childish of her.

Dappy? really? he's nothing., he just kept screaming women are *****s, for 6 hours straight. notice how Lou kept trying to have a conversations with him, and all he could say over and over again was that women are *****s!!! women are not right, don't you understand women are *****s?? why don';t you understand that. he had no argument.

She tried to have a real conversation with him, and all he could say is, women are *****s and if you don't understand that then you must be a *****, how many men have you had sex with? see you must be a *****, i'm not wrong, you are a *****.

He's such a pathetic little faker. trying to imitate american black artists, when he has absolutely NO connection to them. It's so pathetic. N*dubs never had ANY hits in the US, there's a reason for that, they are a JOKE.

It still baffles me that the chick on X-factor and Dappy are taken so seriously in the UK, but they would never be taken seriously any where else. N-Dubs is not a serious band anywhere but the UK. The first time i ever heard of them is because they were on Big Brother's Big Mouth on BB9. And they looked like a joke then.

Jazmine sees Jim as a threat to the crown after seeing his vote results, so she is taking a leaf out of Lindas book and is trying to make him flip. He is doing well to bite his tongue and everytime he does, his stalkers get really pissed off because walking away makes them look silly. Good old Jim......My bet at big odds is looking pretty good, Jim is now down to 4/1 from well over 20/1 outsider

I honestly don't think jasmine thinks she can win. She is totally entertaining though and Jim is an out and out whingey old man. Nobody was more surprised than Jas when she was saved 2nd last week. She even said she was sure she would be gone even though she had said jokingly during the week she was sure she would stay. If you look at her face when she was saved it wasn't an act it was genuine surprise. It will be interesting to see what happens Wednesday night

I disagree that that was her motivation, they clearly don't get on, they haven't gotten since before those results were announced (and were those results actually read out in order, i could have sworn Emma said in no particular order). Anyway, to me it looked like she wanted to annoy him because she doesn't like him and knew that he was getting pissed off with her and Luisa being drunk and noisy and so she wanted to poke him a bit more

Jasmine doesn't give a **** about winning. She's never seen the regular BB series, and she's already got paid, so why would she care? She;'s going home as soon as she does her obligatory BOTS appearance. How many Americans from CBB over the years stayed in the UK after the show? NONE.

Brits really don't understand Americans on this show.

It's funny because it's usually Brits saying Americans don't understand the show, but it's equally true that Brits don't understand Americans on the show. you guys really don't understand how IRRELEVENT this show is to them. how many Americans from past CBB shows do you see still in the UK tryna make a career? they take the money and run!

Actually plenty of Americans have been on as they are desperate for a career in the UK, or at least to aid their failing careers in America!

And equally most UK celebrities couldn't care less about winning, they are also just doing it for the money dear... Big Brother really isn't that big a deal in the UK anymore...

It actually is a very big deal in the UK, I've seen 2 articles in the Guardian about it (i read the Guardian every day), and it was on Charlie Brooker's Wipe show last week, so don't pretend CBB doesn't get plenty of attention in the mainstream press in the UK. It does, don't lie.

It may get some press, but it really isn't a big deal in the UK anymore. I am not lying thanks.

so you know enough about it to be on a forum for it, but you some how know that it isn't mainstream. even though it's not only in the tabloids but also in serious news papers(like the guardian) yea, it's not a big deal at all...

whatever lol.

I agree with you to a point but I do think that (as much as the paycheck brought her to the show and to the UK) that I think as long as she's on the show and in the UK she'll want as much of the attention as she can get (and I think that's why she's after a showmance with Lee) I mean why is she famous? for breaking up a hollywood couples marriage and fighting with Lindsey lohan? It seems that it's in her nature to want the spotlight on her for any reason she can get, I don't think that's stopped just because she's not in America atm

I guess the older male housemates generally get more respect because in comparison to the others they've achieved more impressive things - Evander, Jim and Lionel all have great achievements to their names and are well known. Liz is a columnist and Linda was a background singer in a group that has one memorable hit; and the younger housemates either haven't achieved anything because they're famous for being famous or they're musicians who are past their peak, so haven't been around long enough or had the longevity to command the same level of respect...

Well said,I agree.Jim and Lionel have been famous since before i was born,I'm 32!That's along time in the spotlight,They actually are British legends.

well you can call them legends, but can you post some youtube vids of them actually being clever or funny or showing anything that would make me like them? cause i can't find anything that makes them seem talented or likeable at all.

They were popular in their time,I agree with you in that i'm not a fan of either of them outside the house,I never found Jims comedy very funny and Lionels tap dancing and stage stuff is'nt my thing at all but many many people loved and still do love both of them,Just because you or i don't find them entertaining does'nt mean that they're not British legends to alot of people out there.

It's who you are as a person that matters when it comes to respect. Evander got the boot, didn't he? (Rightly so.)
And look at Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris...both legends with long careers. Who respects them?

She's a slapper with a giant vag..jims best to keep his distance and stay close to the lovely casey..go jim you can win this and stick two fingers up at the haters.
