Let's see you be tough at age 70 after a severe brain injury that left you in a coma for over a month, several subsequent brain surgeries, major hearing loss in both ears, and of course all the aches, pain, and health issues that come with being SEVENTY.

Never condemn someone unless you've walked a mile in their shoes. And if you haven't, might be a good idea to zip it.

I swear posts like above just show the complete lack of tolerance many have for people with disabilities, brain injuries and illnesses.

Gary displays obvious signs of having a brain injury, forgetfulness about certain things for example (my family member has a brain injury which led to dementia and needs prompts to do things a lot).

Having a brain injury or being 70 doesn't mean he shouldn't be in BB either, he has every right as the rest of them and since this is celeb BB he has more right than some of the other non celebs in there atm.

Bloody well said

He is such a bore and I would hate to be in 1 mile of him.

Without singling anyone out... the complete disrespect, animosity, and ridiculing of the aged and disabled around here is nothing short of vomit-worthy.

Having watched last nights Show again I believe everyone was upfront and honest (Stephanie was a bit over the top).

People were on here giving out about dee's reason for George, her reason was the high pitched screeching voice at 2 in the morning

Claire gave the same reason no one mentions it here.

Stephanie and James were laughing and joking at the table she shouldn't have been given a warning and her noms shouldn't have been discounted.

There are nine or ten people in that house who are looking for a little bit of respect from Gary...they can't all be wrong...no matter what age you are respect works both ways.

BB are definitely very manipulative this time round.

They will wait till the last couple of day and show all his faults and that's when the public goes bonkers!

Stephanie was disgusting when doing the nominations. the reason her noms were discounted were because she said to james 'nominate him' when they were talking about audley. she broke the rules, so why do you say her noms should not have been discounted. 9 or 10 people looking for a little bit of respect, you have got to be joking. they would not know the meaning of the word. for them to treat a 70 year old disabled man who has had brain surgery, and is partially deaf the way they have is dreadful, they should all be ashamed of themselves.

[JTM45]

I totally agree with you BooBoo!!!
The fact that some people here feel such hatred for a harmless old guy who's doing his best to fit in and even to change how he behaves to please a bunch of vile twats sickens me!

Gary has more heart and integrity than the rest of those arrogant, ignorant pricks have between the lot of them! The fact that they all just sat there while vile young twats like Stephanie and Ricky ripped shreds out of Gary speaks volumes about their characters (or lack thereof!!!). Who the **** is Ricky to lecture Gary on not being a suitable role-model for his kids when Ricky acts like a ****ing chav neanderthal on a weekly basis on his poor excuse for a TV Show ? Cheeky, arrogant, delusional twat!!!!

I suppose these are the kind of people who voted for someone like Helen to win BB. What the absolute **** is 'Great' Britain coming too these days ? People should stop worrying about immigrants and worry more about some of the ****ing natives! It's a pity we can't have a clean-out and get rid of some of these low-brow scumbags and make the country a better place!

Brilliantly stated. Gary has been treated appallingly by the self proclaimed 'in-crowd' of James, Stephanie, George etc. and they should be ashamed. I wonder how these cowardly bullies would have treated the great Muhammed Ali were he in the house? Would we we have seen reverence for a legend? Consideration for a now old man suffering from Parkinsons? Or we would we have witnessed the same intolerance and bullying from this crowd of non-entities whose ego's are infinitely larger than whatever meagre 'talent' has charitably stamped them as 'Celebrities' in the first place and allowed them to be in the same house as the genuine celebrity they are treating appallingly. Gary to win.

A roof? A warm blanket? Hey what about a bed or something so that he could have stretched his limbs out? He stayed until 1.30 trying his hardest to get comfortable, gosh I wonder how many will cope when they are older and their limbs seize. No compassion wow, what goes around comes around and it may hit some right in the posterior...ouch that will be painful. Serves them right.

I don't understand how people can get so offended and hurt over something that has no effect on them whatsoever.. If Gary is happy in there, shouldn't that be enough for people? jeeze.

He is bothered, he acts not bothered. He acted not bothered with Meatloaf.

People have spent the past couple of days glorifying Gary on his ability to not let anything get to him or bother him, so if he's not bothered, why should anyone else be bothered?

Why did you use my quote, and then ask why he's not bothered? My quote says that he is bothered.

I am hearing disabled, hope it does not happen to you! When in a crowded place its a bit if a nightmare, lots screechy voices all jumbled up and actually quite painful.
What he has put up with in there is awful and I am full of admiration for him.

I could completely say a similar kind of thing to you. Why does it matter so much that people support Gary. Why should you care?
