OK - so here's the clip so we don't have any more he said she said.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV8_3kcEzIY
Please look at the section between 15:09 and 15:23 before responding; and listen and watch closely.
Two things have been repeated ad nauseum on here over the last two days.
1. Jim said 'if you was my adopted daughter I'd still be bathing you'. He didn't, she said I'm like your adopted daughter and he said 'if you was my daughter I'd still be bathing you'.
2. Casey didn't mind - it's just banter. Look very closely at Casey's expression as and after she drinks her water. She very much DOES mind. This conversation, to her, was a thank you for being protective and what does she get, sexual innuendo.
Forget all of the comments about 'perv' etc. etc. Just concentrate on the two points discussed above; and the prevalence for rewriting of fact on this board in defence of a forum favourite.

But I do agree with your comments!
Actually it's an old well joke from Bernard Manning.
BIB - all the more reason why it shouldn't be used. Times have changed - it's no longer considered funny - of which I'm sure that Jim is aware.
Last ditch attempt coming through LOL!
I agree Ding, totally ridiculous imo. A joke is a joke, you either take it as such or mount a high horse.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't you correct someone on here recently, emphasising that Jim said 'adopted daughter'? Care to address that?
Agree, not even remotely.
I happen to think Linda calling Jim a c**t was worse. But hey ho it's all opinion.
It is rather futile being offended on someones behalf when in reality, they likely weren't offended in the first place.
But i suppose, we all gotta hate on Jim right?
"Shall I unzip my trousers"
"Does that mean we can have sex"
"I looked at your bum for longer than a gentleman should"
etc.
Yes it is all said in a jokey way, but it's inappropriate.
Luisa to WIN!
Last ditch attempt at what? Clarifying what's being repeatedly misrepresented? If so, of course. What's wrong with that?
I'm not offended on her behalf at all. And I don't 'hate' anyone on a reality TV show. I don't vote; never have, never will - it's just a TV show.
I do enjoy a good debate, though; and facts are central to that. Did you watch the clip as requested? Because if you did you will have seen Casey's expression at the end.....
No ...I'm not going to get into a petty row with you because you don't like Jim and I do
As for this being THE most conraverial line in the entire series...I have to ask if you watched it all if you believe this
How is it a petty row? What he said is being actively misrepresented by his fans. Now that the clip is up, and people can see it; I would imagine it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say 'I got that one wrong'.

As do I. I see this forum full of moans if it doesn't suit the housemate of the forum member's choice, but the reality is - it's here for us to voice our opinions. And it's also up to ALL of us to contribute to those opinions, whether someone likes it or not!
Yup. Jim trotting out old 1970's gags and attributing that 'if you can fake Sincerity' quote to someone other than Noel Coward is just his 'shtick'. We oldies heard these lines back in the 1960s & '70s as Routines--and not 'personal' unlike the Linda example.
This is the poster's OPINION and this is a forum to discuss those opinions. Personally, I thought that Evander's comment about homosexuals was the most controversial but this isn't my thread - doesn't stop me from offering an opinion though.
I can't access that - it's bloody irritating how Ch5 block so many videos. >:(
Anyway, I think it's interesting how much Casey has come to look up to Jim - and sweet. In fact, I think that's what makes his way of speaking to her so inappropriate. It takes completely from the protective role that she obviously appreciates; but as WD said elsewhere, it appears she can't have one without the other.
