After thinking about the character assassination of Jim Davidson that took place on BBBOTP last night it seems to me as though the BB producers have put themselves between a rock and a hard place.
Linda Nolan was claiming that the highlights only showed her bitterness and antagonism toward Jim and the so called experts agreed and both stated that Jim's performance in the house is all some kind of 'nice guy' act for the cameras and that he doesn't deserve to win the show or even remain in the house.
If Linda was really the engaging friendly and cheerful 'Momma Lin' who didn't deserve to be evicted that she claimed to be why was this not shown at all?
If this is really the case the producers guaranteed a Jim Davidson win or at least top three finish and Linda was treated very badly indeed.
If the highlights are a genuine reflection of what actually took place (and I suspect that by and large they may be) then why were these 'expert panelists' allowed to state quite clearly that Jim is a good actor and is manipulating every situation to his advantage, when the footage that we have been shown shows that Linda instigated the problems between her, and Jim which has led to him receiving overwhelming public support.
It would appear that the BB producers are panicking because they may have handed this years BB crown to their least desirable option, someone who is older, coming to the end of their career and regarded by many as sexist, homophobic, racist, un-PC blah blah blah.
If Jim Davidson is all of these things that Linda and her admirers on the BBBOTP panel said he is why has this not been shown to viewers?
The BB producers seem to have wanted to have their cake and eat it, Linda is now allegedly claiming to have slashed her wrists in the BB house because of Jim Davidson's behaviour toward her even though there were no reports of her receiving medical treatment or being removed from the house and given counseling, and no mention of it by any other HM at the time.
Oh what a tangled web the BB producers have woven
