It is a shame that those on here who have taken a dislike to Linda are using this fracas as a stick to beat her with. I just think .........give him enough rope. It'll be like Barrymore all over again IMO. Started out OK but ......he couldn't keep it up.
I agree. The others are in the wrong, i had no idea what the hell Linda was getting so annoyed about at all tonight. It's like she just wanted to have a moan for the hell of it.
This ^^^ I have just watched it on catch up and have absolutely no idea what he's supposed to have done and am no real fan of Jims. If she wanted to have it out with him she should take him aside - all that passive aggressive stuff she pulled, she has learned well from her sister imo.

JD is the type of person, because he's a so called Comedian, who thinks he can say whatever he likes to people then pass it off as a joke.
When he told Jasmine to F Off last night, we had Sam defending him saying, "that's just Jim, it's the way he is" etc
Well sorry but telling someone you've only just met to F Off is not even remotely funny.
Personally I think he's trying to contain his true personality but before long that mask he's hiding behind will slip.
God help us. Ask his ex wives what 'normal' is. I know I have said I'll judge what goes on in the house but ...............if he's normal - that scares me TBH.
You don't see Jim doing what Dappy or Jasmine or Lee are doing in order to get airtime and be that desperate.
I think he is the most normal person in the house, with Lionel and Ollie and Sam.
I like him,he's definately holding back tho,and if he doesn't lose his rag he could be the surprise of the series......Keep it together Jim and let's have some comedy,but be careful cos they are waiting to jump on you.
About Jim walking out when Linda was going to tell him why she didn't like him - He was talking to someone earlier this week (I am not sure it wasn't Linda) that he had been to therapy and they have taught him to walk away the minute he feels his anger. He was only doing what he had been taught to see him through. I would say that was a lesson he has learnt and I commend him for it.
If "damn faulty" means telling racist, sexist and homophobic jokes, than I guess he's damn faulty.
In the 80's my Dad used to do exactly that. He didn't know any better. Remind him of it now and he's appalled. Times and culture change and people grow up.....Thank God..
Jim did not "flounce out in a temper". He walked away from someone looking for an argument with half the house surrounding her. If Linda wanted to sort things out with Jim she would have taken him aside and spoken to him privately. As for the basis of her supposed dislike, "talking over her", that's ridiculous. There are 12 people there. Everyone does not fall silent every time someone else speaks. Its always the case on BB. Too many people trying to talk and people often being cut off mid flow. Trying to demonise someone else for speaking when she is is absolutely ridiculous. If he's not listening to her, so what, talk to whoever is listening and let him do his thing.
Likewise the Kate Hopkins thing. Maybe not everyones favourite person on TV but not liking Jim because she said she does? Really. I've been watching Jim Davidson on TV all my life. Don't really have an opinion of him as a person, but It wasn't him badmouthing another housemate before anyone had ever entered the house. He's not going round trying to turn the house against anyone else. Linda is. Don't forget they are all on their own in there and having someone gather a little gang around them to undermine you must be a horrible feeling for anyone. So, I'd much rather watch Jim in there than Linda who, in my opinion, once she thinks she has others on her side, is going to get completely carried away and show herself up big time.

NOR could Linda!!!

I agree. I looked up a few of them on Youtube. I don't get how he even worked at the BBC for as long as he did.
It's almost as funny as his denial about the whole Chalky White being racist.
I laughed at the videos I saw simply in disbelief.
Same here. One man's racist attempts at humour are another mans Comedy Gold..takes all sorts!;-)
I like Jim too, I thought he did well walking away from a confrontation.

Glad to see you back my friend. I was worried your holiday might have been a bit longer than it turned out to be.

Excellent post.
