You're being cynical. It's not as if Jim wouldn't have had a valid reason to nominate Linda and what does she bring the show that would make BB feel obliged to save her or make her look good? As for them being bothered about her leaving the house to boos!? When has BB ever cared in the slightest about that?

Do you know you mightve hit the nail on the head there.. i just saw theres an eviction on sunday but show is only an hour long with no after show either. Also think they want to keep linda in for the goading by her and luisa to continue and for jim to finally snap and they will eject him .. jade style and linda will be the victim and say 'i told you so'. BB definitely dont want jim to win BOTS couldnt be more blatant about it night after night. And jims conversation with casey did imply he was near breaking point and needs to get out.. if this does happen i will be done with this show as that is just cruel nasty and certainly not entertaining

If she leaves to no crowd on her eviction, you wont mind me saying i told you will you? Then again i could be wrong of course and she is booted to the crowd..

When one of the family have gone to the papers saying she is on the edge? hence not to be sued....

They said lees vote for sam last werk wasnt valid and made him change it but sam was allowed to say im nominating jim because my friend doesnt like him ..they do interfere and they did change things round for jade .. it does happen. As for linda they want jim to break simple as that .. that (was) his reputation and they were expecting him to behave in a certain way but hes walked away .. so far... but linda will keep on as her nasty sister pointed out on Bots ..that was her plan. Therefore implying linda knew he would be in there too.

Cant stand Colleen but she did drop Linda in it further by saying the truth and that was her plan for Jim!

Lol no go right ahead but unfortunately i think its going to be jim ..they dont want jim in the final or possible winner. Jim was supposed to explode and say controversial things (un pc) and get kcked out but he hasnt done what they wanted. They have plans as usual with certain people that go in like rylan and now sam ..her and her sister have got their own show coming up so they cant gave her looking bad either or getting evicted. Sorry went off track there

Yes it does happen but Lee's reason of "Sam wouldn't get sexy enough in the task" or whatever it was would be a bit different to the kind of reasons Jim would have for Linda. Unless you're suggesting he would struggle to come up with SEVERAL reasons and examples of why he doesn't like her. Lee was given the opportunity to come up with a different reason for Sam and he couldn't.

Of course Linda knew Jim was going in, anyone who googled CBB rumours for the past six months would have known Jim was going in.

I have always thought Sam had something in the pipeline, but more like MIC meets Towie so Ollie can be in it too, as they are not showing Ollie negative, not that there is hardly anything(and i do like him) but he had a strop and stormed out of the kitchen(not shown on highlights) Sam not happy AT ALL by being up for eviction and had a real strop about Liz and jim for daring to nominate her??(again not shown on the highlights)so i do think these two are the ones they have plans for..

I thought lee said she wouldnt join in?? I might be wrong but if thats the case isnt the reason for liz 'she doesnt join in the dancing' unacceptable too?? And sams also wrong... imo

Sued for what!?! You're grasping at straws now. She's not being held there against her will. If BB were so worried that she for some reason might sue them they could simply suggest that she leaves for health reasons and still pay her. If she still insisted on staying after that well it doesn't matter to them, they've already covered their tracks.

I can't remember the exact reason but he said something along the lines of wanting to get sexy with or, or her to get sexy. Whatever the reason he WAS given the opportunity to come up with another reason. BB didn't say "you're not allowed nominate Sam".

I can't remember who said Liz didn't join in the dancing, but there was more to their reason than that. It was to do with her not joining in with the group in general. They didn't simply say "I'm nominating Liz because she didn't dance".

Regardless, the point is that Jim would have been able to come up with a lot more than something to do with a task for nominating Linda.

Maybe Jim just doesn't have many friends in showbusiness. Of this year's housemates Lionel and Linda knew him and they didn't like him.

Yea they are being shown in a better light than others and on BOTS too .. they keep saying how nice and sweet they are. I had never heard of them before this so my opinion is totally with how theyve come across to me. And have to say they are boring, uninteresting and have only shown they can only follow a script and are useless without it. And sams arrogance on thr f2f noms and again this week is shocking. Why does she think no-one should nominate her yet its ok for her to cast her nomination.. who does she think she is.. maybe shes a big star on towie and thats why shes behaving like that.. i really dont know

I agree with what you say that she could be removed or her sister ask her to be removed.. BUT Colleen has already gone to the papers saying she was sucidal BEFORE she went into the house,(which i myself do not believe as have tests) she passed the so-called medicals to go in by the producers. But if she comes out and watches her behaviour which lets be honest isnt good, see's the majority of people are not behind her and are backing the person she had the problem with, if true she is on the edge she could put the blame at BB's door saying she should not have been allowed on the show... JMO of course which i am allowed to post..

Jim's up for nomination, so they'll have someone representing him on I'm sure - they've had relatives of some of the HMs Luisa's mum, Sam's sister, Lionel's son, Linda's sister on BBOTS, and friends of some of them too - so it is about time.

Or has Jim told them not to do it, and they don't want to be involved anway. Not all family members of the CBB do, they'd rather stay out of it so that the media don't hound them afterwards , which you can imagine that happening with a relative of Jims- and you can bet Jim would want to protect his family so he may have said steer clear !!if he's any sense !

BB also said to lee that there was a risk sam would leave .. how is that fair. And again why was sams reason for jim 'my friend dont like you' - sounds like something from the infant playground - not challenged??

Oh dear! Maybe they put those two in BECAUSE they didn't like him. Maybe there are people who like him who weren't up for CBB. It's not as if everyone in showbiz goes in there is it?

Yes, and the way the Nolans twist things, that could happen.

Exactly it may sound harsh to some people but lets be honest when are they not in the papers or on TV trying to gain some sympathy Colleen has not only gone to the star, but now New magazine about Jim, odd though as both trashy mag and paper are the ones owned by the owner of channel5 Richard Desmond, so bias again for Linda.

I'm not saying it was fair and I'm not saying Sam's or other reasons in that same vein shouldn't be challenged. The point I keep making is that there's no way Jim would not have been able to come up with a valid reason for nominating Linda!

My sentiments exactly!

If it was that easy to sue BB by using the excuse "I shouldn't be allowed on the show" I think we would have heard of it happening a lot more before now, as there have been a lot of housemates that clearly shouldn't have been allowed on. Add to that the fact that housemates have gone on record to say that the after care program that BB are supposed to provide once they leave the house is pretty much non existent.

Unlikely, he is a runaway popular HM and there are thousands of celebs, even very minor ones (that BOTS usually has to make do with), I'm sure would be happy to go on the show. Linda's celeb friends and fans are on every week. And they don't need to be celebs anyway. It's a fix. Jim was supposed to explode, and he hasn't. I'm not saying this as a Jim fan, I swear I'd say the same if the bias was as obvious for or against any other HM, I just want the show to be fair and unbiased as possible, or whats the point watching it, let alone paying to vote? If enough people kick up a fuss - and Emma mentioned she's been getting complaints - the show is tarnished and they may not be able to get away with it in future, and they may have to show less biased in the remaining days, or I think there will be more of an uproar.

I've got it in proportion, it's a silly popularity contest - on the other hand, peoples lives and careers are in the balance, and viewers spend their hard-earned money participating. It simply cannot get be allowed to get away with being so blatantly biased. And as I said, I'd say exactly the same whoever was was the victim or benefactor of such blatant spin and bias.

Wouldn't be surprised if they found some reason to say his reason wasn't valid. Why didn't they show it?
