linda telling sam that Jim shouldn't vote tactically..

And Ollie telling Sam that she shouldn't be up..

are they for real? or they are trying to sugar coat her fanbase?

And ofcourse Sam has the audacity to be pout for receiving 2 nominations while Jim and Liz got the most votes. jim gave the reason of being unnoticeable which is true!! While she nominated Jim for linda..

Yes, we've seen this type of behaviour before with "ordinary" hm's.

Some just won't accept that others have voted for them!

They just don't seem to get the nomination thing, but it's always ok for them to all vote for one poor individual

In Sam's case though, she's just a big faced air head anyway.

Her gameplan was to avoid noms at all costs IMO. That's why she's appeared so beige about everything.

She is earth-shatteringly dull and a waste of a HM. And she's going to beat Liz. Disaster.

I know, it's flipping tragic- I'm hoping against hope that Liz stays.

So Linda and Luisa think they have control of the nominations, cannot wait for the others to nominate them. [if they Dare]

Sam is a lovely lovely girl....unfortunately I do not think
Big Brother is her forte'. Jim is like a bottle of pop waiting to explode, whilst Liz is like the living dead - both two excellent characters for BB and good entertainment.

...and Ollie having the cheek to say it's not fair that's she up. No Ollie, what's not fair is that you and Sam sit there frightened to express an opinion (from what we have seen) in the hope that you will both sail to the final by default. As a viewer I feel cheated by this type of lily livered-tactics.

I haven't seen either Ollie or Sam in their other shows - do they seem quite different in BB from their reality show personas?

Can they really be that bland and insipid?

What bugs me is their sense of entitlement - everyone ha a fair chance of being nominated for whatever reason the other housemates decide - what makes them think that they are so special?

Oh for gods sake. Five housemates complain about tactical nominations - Luisa and Ollie saying the most - but Linda's name MUST be at the forefront, because if there is anything potentially negative in the house, Linda gets the blame merely for drawing breath in the same room as it.

The feel protective over the sweet and quiet Sam, and don't like two people putting her up for no other reason (as they told them) than to try and get themselves out, that is all.

Normally it would be considered rather in someone's favour if they were indignant that Sam had been nominated instead of the rightful nominees, themselves. At least no one can accuse Linda or Luisa of being desperate to win.

Oh wait - of course they will. It's not as if EVIDENCE is needed, is it? Even clear evidence to the contrary is not enough to save both of them from every imaginable negative accusation.

I don't like how those two are always lumped together. Luisa spoke up for Liz in the HL last night and agreed with her that she was entitled to vote for who she likes, and that it's unfair for her to get a hard time about nominating ANYONE when she had been nominated by almost everyone.

As for Linda, I finally went off her last night. The way she treated Liz was pathetic and the only reason she gave her a hard time was because she wanted to have a go about Jim nominating Sam and she needed to stay consistent.

It was Linda who told Liz that "anyone can vote for anyone they like and for any reason", not Luisa. We really did see her say it with our own eyes and hear her with our own ears. And the person who complained most about Jim's nomination was Luisa, then Ollie, then (quite a long way behind) Linda.

Linda did say that, however it was followed by a "BUT" and she acted as if she had the moral high ground. She was still saying that it was unfair that Sam was up (reinforcing Sam's sense of entitlement). Luisa agreed with Liz without contradicting herself- at least in that conversation.

That was just absurd, who are people to tell Jim how to vote? His reasons seemed more than reasonable to me. I really hope the entitled Sam goes.

To be honest Sam has not entertained me one bit. Nothing she has done has made me laugh but i could say the same for Liz; get them both out!

she was Joey Essex's girlfriend, I think that speaks most about who Sam is,the girlfriend of the village idiot wasn't she (and proud)

So right. Let's not have a trifling thing like actual evidence and logic get in the way of a good witch hunt.

I hope some of these posters are never selected for jury service.

I thought it was very strange how certain people acted towards her nomination. Liz and Jim gave genuine reasons IMO. And about time housmates started to nominate the dead wood. Liz and Jim have gone up in my estimation.

But Sams attitude was the weirdest. She couldn't believe it and I think she was hoping BB would step in. And they didn't!!... mwahahaha

I know! I was so proud when Liz stood up for herself.
So Sam can nominate Liz, every time, but Liz can't nominate Sam?

You couldn't make it up!

Lee went up a bit in my estimation as well.

It's a pity BB didn't show the other clip on its site where they were all lambasting Jim for daring to vote tactically, then the GBP would have seen more vitriol from Luisa and Linda against Jim for daring to vote for Sam.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.. voting is like the hunger games.First they group together or slog it on their own and then they have to eliminate their friends one by one lol

Howe dare Sam be upset about being up for eviction, the swine.

What bothered her was being put up for tactical reasons.

(And that Liz's was false anyway.)

Yep. T'is all LIndas fault, as usual.

That's true. Luisa supported Liz, which I thought was good of her, but was critical of Jim for doing the same thing Liz had done. Basically, at any opportunity they can get, Linda and Luisa will try and wind Jim up. I do think that Luisa gives it a rest and is civil sometimes though, where Linda will create an argument out of nothing (e.g. when Jim asked about Luisa's feelings about not having a man and when Jim bought up the cherry).

You're being downright disingenuous about this, not for the first time. Linda only said that in echo of someone else (Liz?) pointing it out, and it stopped her argument in its tracks, leaving her searching for a "but". And not for the first time you're going to ignore me saying this. Your blind spot regarding Linda has grown to match the OTT Linda loathing on here. Little history rewrites like you've been attempting were never your style.
