The bitch is obsessed.

[joeysteele]

Awful woman, as to her last comment tonight in the diary room,I wish it was possible to send her to the moon and leave her there.

[Shaun]

yeah she's just a dick

[Z]

No, I don't think she is. I don't know if she's always been this way and it's not my place to judge her on that; but being so bitter, negative and holding onto her hatred for such a long time is only hurting her, not Jim. Jim doesn't care if she thinks he's the worst person in the world, Jim doesn't really seem to care for anyone's opinions in there; focusing on hating Jim so much is only upsetting Linda, not Jim.

its callum in a dress

she's just bitter at the world and taking it out on jim. really she wants his chaffed chipalater

[Livia]

She's got issues, that's for sure.

[AnnieK]

Not when it comes to Jim certainly but I do think she has some deep seated issues

Well, she was suicidal before she went in, her sole purpose in going in was to wind up a man that was once hit his wife while angry and drunk, so processing all that information I would say...........she's totally bonkers and should be strapped to a padded cell straight away.

Jim is no saint, but Linda is obsessive about Jim for her own reasons and can't let anything go.

[Daniel.]

I dont see her how not liking someone makes her mentally unstable?

[Z]

Mentally unstable's maybe a bit strong but I think for her own well being she needs to let go of her anger. She doesn't have to forgive him or be his friend, she just needs to let go of her grudge. It can't be healthy to hold a grudge for twenty years, and I say that as someone who has held grudges over petty things for years at a time. It always feels better to put your demons to rest than to just stew in your own bitterness and resentment.

If that hatred turns to obsession then it is a sign of mental instability. I've seen it happen in real life. She is obsessed with him. Whatever he does, whatever he says she reads something into it. That is not rational that is not stable.

[Me. I Am Salman]

This is a disgusting and very insulting thread, you can't accuse someone of being mentally unstable. Especially when it's Jim who's clearly the one with issues

If it's ruining her time in the house and making her totally unhappy (just to look at her face proves that) and seeing as her own sister told the world that was the sole reason why she entered the house in the first place, to annoy Jim...that just isn't right.

And she was suicidal before going into the house (if that's even true) but if so then that is an imbalance in the brain in itself.

I never intended it to be insulting I genuinely think she has issues that cloud her judgment.

I agree with all that and her obvious obsession with Jim and maybe being out of revenge for so long, shows very irrational thinking really.

[thesheriff443]

she is just a bitter dryed up old dog, no other issues.

[rusticgal]

She is so bitter....it's destroying her.

I thought I was going to like her but she is just one bitter, unhappy soul. The lines etched on her face say it all....

[Z]

She's not had the easiest time of it in recent years, I can understand why she might be bitter about life in general, but this is just so specific towards Jim, you know? Like if she was snapping at other housemates and generally being bitter then we could attribute it to Bernie dying, her financial situation, her husband dying etc but she's just bitter towards Jim over an incident that happened twenty years ago. Her grudge is about as old as me, it's ridiculous.

[Sophiee]

she doesn't have mental issues, she just can't stand jim.

[Munchkins]

She was really odd today.. why does it matter if Jim doesnt eat to her

[Vanessa]

She's very obsessive when it comes to Jim. I find it very disturbing.

[Jack_]

She's a little bit obsessed but mentally unstable is a bit far.

Then again none of us know about any of their history, she might have very good reason to hate him so much. And I genuinely believe (as Coleen basically admitted on last night's BOTS too) that she thinks he's putting on an act and holding back his true thoughts (as do I actually) so as to appease the public and improve his reputation, and so she's trying her hardest to provoke a reaction to expose the real him.

And I'm certainly not going to complain at that, because if fight night three breaks out because Jim finally explodes, that will really round this series off in style

[Z]

I think what annoys Linda more than anything is that on the odd occasion she does rile Jim up, he never shouts and properly loses his temper, he has this sigh and walk away attitude that must infuriate her so much
