He is Gary, with previous memories, doesn't mean he is still a Roman. So there is nothing to deal with. He doesn't have a chariot or a sword with him

[Livia]

I'd probably find him fascinating compared to the rest of the vacuous, shallow, self-satisfied knobs... with a couple of exceptions.

[Pincho Paxton]

He would be interesting to talk to.

[Josy]

Oh.

I would be interested in what he had to say tbh.

[Creggle]

He'd be the Danielle to my Ashleigh. The Winston to my Ash.

[the truth]

hes be fabulous company, absolutely fabulous
hes funny, warm , gregarious, humourous, wonderful anecdotes, endless philosophies, hes a great pontificator, hes imaginative, utterly unique, kind, forgiving, devoid of any vindictive, great conversationalist, open minded, talented, multi faceted......id be happy to just hear the great man talk about his experiences and the movies and the stories and the great people hes worked with and the great places hes been.....love original characters like the busey

[jessicadanielle]

I could learn a lot from him so would like to be around him. The people in the house who don't give him the time of day are absolute gorps for not realising that.

My only issue would be his toilet habits maybe he could teach me not to care?

You are putting me off him, tbh. (But you're not the only one). I prefer flawed human beings whose faults are acknowledged by others.
Gary is always in the right...always in the right....always in the right....always in the right...and it's boring as hell to read.

He isn't always in the right though jet, there are plenty of posts saying that.

Agreed. Lots of Gary fans accept that he isn't always in the right

[the truth]

he is flawed youve missed the point. he has 100s of flaws we all do, but gary recognising he has 100s of flaws and looks to work on them and takes criticism. the others do nothing of the sort

[Robodog]

I'd love to hang out with him.

I'm glad someone of his age, of his experience and of his uniqueness has got a platform on British TV - there are too many predictable, boring, self-centred talentless sheep on TV these days and hardly any rugged wild old souls like Gary

There isn't though. Is there even one thread that deals with something negative about Gary? I honestly see very few posts that admit Gary is at fault for anything. I love the guy because he drives people round the bend - just as he did in the celeb apprentice usa - but now he's portrayed as a pitiful figure who nobody cares about or some sort of spiritual guru whose every word should be hung onto as if he has the key to the mystery of life. All way OTT for me.

You gave about 20 glowing examples of what you see as his good points. Give me 20 of his flaws.

Give me examples of when he was wrong in the house, in your opinion.

[CaudleHalbard]

Gary is far from pitiful. In the real world he had been described by his psychiatrist as being "without filters". We have seen little of that because either he (or his medication!) is reining it in.

A dear old sweetie? I think not - and nor do those who have to actually share living space with him.

Problem is there are too many fans of his films willing to overlook the fact that his fellow housemates find him a bit of a pain.

Yes, James is an idiot for constantly trying to get someone aged 70 and set on his ways to change his ways. It ain't gonna happen.

But that doesn't Gary a lovable dear man.

See I notice you keep saying this when you have nothing really to back it up with..

One or two of them have complained about him yes, like say leslie saying he hasn't cooked or cleaned etc but then past housemates have been forgiven for things like that due to age/illnesses and so on, the others are just taking the easy way out and following the pack, for example...

Dee during the task using his hearing problems as an excuse, saying she was 'sick repeating herself'

Dee whilst nominating, done the same thing.

George whilst nominating him used the interrupting and again the hearing thing as an excuse.

This doesn't make someone unbearable to live with, it's the easy way out for them.
