All we've had are wishy washy excuses. If it's that important why not say Linda?

It's affecting your life, affecting Jim's and Everyone else's in CBB, so why not just speak out?

The blame game appeared to settle on Jim on BBOTS, disgusting, and made no reference to you and your taunts, so, do they know?

Come on someone, Give us a clue

I genuinely havent watched BOTS for more than 5 minutes this year. I GENUINELY used to think people were taking the "BOTS is biased thing" a bit too far.

But I have been re watching BB8 recently and had a few Big Mouth and Little Brother recorded and the difference between the two is UNREAL

We used to say that Dermot was biased. You ain't seen nothing yet!

The blonde short hair one had her head so far up Linda's ass it was embarrassing.

Wonder if she'll talk to Jim like that if he was sitting there?

She seemed to allude to it being something to do with Jim and Colleen 30 odd years ago but Rylan hushed her up pretty quickly

Indeed.

Whatever happened to psychologists challenging people's behaviour in order to get them to change?

Jim did a better job in the task, no wonder Linda wouldn't go there.

Didn't see it. Take it they brought up the fact that Jim didn't call her an "ar**hole" during the kitchen arguments which she claimed he did, OR that Dappy did say to Jim that he shouldn't talk to him or Evander because it would look bad to the other group, which led Linda to accuse Jim of lying and "s**t stirring" when Dappy denied saying it (when he actually did!).

Somehow I doubt it.

The only real issue that I can see is Linda's mental health and that's for her to address isn't it.

Bring back Geoffrey Beatty

You'd think they would have made some reference to something wouldn't you?

Clearly you don't.

And you would be right.

double post due to piss poor internet connection

I didn't like him. I the early days, BB1 I think, they had another bloke on there and I thought he was good.

Anyone remember his name? Please!!

I was reminded of something the other night. The first time I noted 'digging' or 'niggling' was when Linda said she didn't have a nice first meeting with someone and Jim said - completely out of the blue and from the other side of the room 'I know what your game is'.

That was the FIRST incident I recall between them. Prior to that, they seemed to have got on fine, when they were in the DR and when they were cuffed together.

Just putting it out there to those that insist it was all one-way traffic. I don't believe that for a minute.

I don't think people are saying it was one way traffic. I feel when he wanted to Jim gave as good as he got if not better (Hes a comedian, dealing with hecklers is a big part of his job)

My point with it has more been is who fired most shots relentlessly. When Jim fought back a lot of people felt he took it too far but if you see his comebacks to hecklers that was tame. Jim could do a lot worse but had the common sense to not over step a mark that could cost him big.

It doesn't mean hes playing a game, it just means he has common sense

Yes I spotted that too. Also during the eviction interview Linda said something to Emma to the effect of 'you know the background to this and why they don't want me to talk about it'. Emma agreed and the interview moved on.

Pointless and unwise to speculate on what the unsayable is but intriguing.

Thank you.

I'll go now and never ever pose a question again

Aw bless but I have to admit you asked what I was wondering too.

I have to say that I've not started as many threads as this CBB.

Also, and this totally embarasses me....arghhhh...I frequently wake up thinking about this series.

I know - get a life

Don't worry...enthusiasm is great

Oh dear I hope you didn't take that as a put down NP. I am guessing from the smile you didn't. But if you did I apologise.

I just meant that in my minds eye I imagine some forbidding lawyers anxiously watching over the interview. My hunch is there is a legal issue underneath here. I would love to speculate but personally feel it unwise to do so. I didn't mean to appear bossy. Sorry if that's the way it seemed.

I thought that as well and although Colleen said she didn't like Jim it doesn't seem to be something that mattered to her. I was wondering if it was a ploy by Linda to deflect from the Dressing Room incident

I assumed it was the DR incident

The problem is, though, that the vast majority on this forum DO believe it was all one-way traffic and have conducted vicious, relentless and ugly personal attacks on Linda throughout the series because of this. In the instant I highlighted, for example, Linda did nothing at all to ask for that comment and Jim did it loudly and in front of everyone to make her look a certain way. That was VERY early in the proceedings and I challenge anyone to find Linda taking a pot-shot at Jim prior to that.

Well I don't know. That is a matter of public record and very well documented in the media. It is also fact so I can't see it distressing lawyers too much (if indeed it is a legal concern that led to those two comments. It leads me to think there is something else. I both love and hate a mystery.

But now see I am speculating, the next thing is someone will suggest a theory from their own imagination and by this time tomorrow it will be all over the forum as a fact.


Note to self - Step away from the thread - do not speculate.

The biggest problem the viewers have is having to judge situations when only given the snippets shown.

You recall the first incident between them but how do we know what was said 10/20 mins before. I don't think for one minute it wasn't a two way street but we did see completely innocent exchanges where Linda exasperated the situation I.e. Offering the knife. Wouldn't it have been far easier just to say 'thank you' or say nothing at all?.
