Hear hear, I'm chucking a few extra votes for Jim right now...

Those so called psychology experts weren't truthful or spot on at all, they are just as bitter, spiteful, mean-spirited, deluded and unintelligent as Linda.

Lee has been told in his earpiece to say something positive about jim. They know someone has majorly messed up booking this lot of man haters tonight.

What did Ian say?

Great show. Davifson is a master manipulator!

It doesn't really matter whether it was Jim and Linda or any of the other HMs - they have absolutely no right to express their views as 'truths' and tell the viewers that 'X is lying', as fact. It is still only their opinion, psychology is not an exact science, and given that Ch5 are paying their salary .............

lol at folks calling the panel "witches" (they actually are not but neither were those in past times burned at the stake or dunked in rivers till they drowned) and casting doubt on their qualifications (they actually are qualified but that doesn't mean they have to be like Ollie and not express an opinion).

But I would be pissed off if I was a Jim fan so I know where the complainers are coming from because past BOTS have done the same thing to my favourite. With Linda and Carol there (neither of whom has the appropriate qualifications) the panel was biased. However, Carol was pre-booked as a regular panelist and Linda was only there because viewers wanted her there.

Don't like Jim, least favourite, didn't want him to win etc etc until tonight. Really want him to win after that diabolical show tonight. Complete character assassination from everyone on the show (apart from one small comment by Iain). Really ridiculous, particularly during the final week.

The 'Linda Love-in' ..what a joke ..Carol just got shut down there when she said anything that was deemed supportive of Jim ... follow the script Carol or you're toast. Im not suggesting it should be a 'Jim Love-in' just a bit more balanced would be nice

Did state on a earlier thread that the bullets would start to fly at Jim's direction from the production staff. It is blatantly obvious they want one of the two bores to win,Sam or Ollie. You watch they will set Jim up big time.

I thought the same, the anti Jim bias on the show was a disgrace and the producers probably realised part way through that the man haters were alienating viewers.

or because it was in her C5 contract - as I viewer I didn't want her there

looks like ian wont be on that show again

It was the last of the season.

To give Carol her due, she was not part of the slating panel. However, very weird having Linda Nolan on if it is true what she claims about her self harming, whilst on the show. Think the lawyers are going to have an easy time making a case for Jim and how he has been portrayed on BBOTS, starting with Linda's exit interview.

I know, an absolute disgrace of a show. Really want jim to win now.

Yea i did see that link re Lindas self harming and did wonder too if this was due to her threatening to sue .. after all we had Coleen doing the rounds last weekend saying she was suicidal. I personally think its disgusting to use such terms so lightly when in the real world these are serious conditions!

my point was i doudt he will be doing the next season

Which part of the word witch is sexist? As has already been mentioned... not all witches are female.

I agree with that.

The word was being used in the 2nd meaning in the online OED:

2 • informal an ugly or unpleasant old woman.

No-one was suggesting that the panellists actually practised witchcraft. "Witch" and "Coven" are negative terms applied to female housemates.

How is coven sexist?

one of the panel was a performance coach, not a psychologist

Do you reside in his ear?

Agreed. I don't think Jim cares if he wins now or not. He's won his little battle & he's already got further than i imagine he thought he would. He's almost guaranteed top 3 and that is great for him considering he was 40/1 at the start.
