Why do these people watch this show? They know what to expect its been on tv for 14 years.

What really pisses me off is the people who complain are "fans of the show".

That's my point though Ness, he can still be popular by being himself, no need for any 'victim' sympathy support.

I have said this numerous times. How dare anyone assume that he FEELS like a victim.. he has not been to the DR complaining of victimisation or bullying, it's the bloody idiots that are assuming he is bullied.

I contacted C5 and Ofcom on the very first night and advised them I thought the inclusion of Gary Busey in a social experiment of this nature was rather ill advised. He does not appear to have the social skills needed and it is going to be car crash tv. I am sure.

I know its really insulting to accuse him of being mentally unstable.

These people complaining are worse than the housemates because they are assuming he's some kind of invalid.

Gary has been doing reality tv for years in America and hes been more outrageous on those shows.

The complaints are because "fans are concerned by his behaviour including talking to himself". Remember when the UK used to embrace the eccentrics and not call them vulnerable, mentally retarded or unable to look after themselves.

But who are you to say he isn't fit to take part in Big Brother?

Are you his psychiatrist?

I don't understand how in one post you can say you don't think its right for people to judge when Gary himself hasn't complained about feeling like a victim yet in another post you say you have called Ofcom yourself?

Believe it or not, members of the public and fans alike, do actually have a right to complain if they feel a person is being treated unfairly, even if you think its wrong. Its a security measure made available to everyone because not everyone likes to see someone treated like a lab rat for the pleasure and justification of someone else's entertainment.

Gary is an older member of the cast and obviously has some mental issues. It isn't fair of BB to hang him out to dry or even promote scenarios that make him feel uncomfortable.

BB isn't about bullying or making HM's feel ostracised, it should be about the tasks, the living together environment and the occasional bitch session. We all don't need to see crap and debauchery 24/7 to feed the blood lust of some of the not so morally educated viewers.

Gary is well capable of holding his own, but idiots like James and now that little has been Leslie are OTT in their rudeness towards him. If BB wont intervene, then Ofcom is the only other option, even if you feel that it isn't correct or not.

If they don't want to see people being treated like lab rates they shouldn't watch a show where the basic concept is to lock people away and monitor them like lab rats in a "social experiment".

BB hasn't hung him out to dry they have closely monitored his behaviour and also asked James to make sure everyones aware that Gary has hearing difficulties and to be understanding of this. They haven't set a task or thrown in a twist to make him an outcast the housemates are behaving on their own accord and have not been influenced by producers in any way.

I find it a bit rich you calling viewers morally corrupt and saying you don't like bullying and in the same post calling Leslie a "little has been".

BB viewers are hypocrites pure and simple.

Can I also just add Gary personally said in the diary room that this was the best experience of his life!

The show has been full of socially inadequate and troubled figures - it thrives on such characters. Why the sudden concern for Gary? As long as hms show some consideration for hms of his age, ie his hearing and need for sleep, there should be no problems. The bullies are the problem, not the bullied.

No sugar plum Im not confused in the slightest how I feel.

Gary's entrance to the BB house was one of the most uncomfortable things I've witnessed on National TV. I have not complained to Ofcom saying he is a victim of anything, I merely question his psychological capability to cope with the experiment.

It's still irrelevant to the post I responded to "I don't pay a tv license to watch people treated like that" well their tv license doesn't contribute to the show in any way shape or form.

Also plenty people get away with avoiding paying it. Especially when it comes to the loophole of not watching TV "live".

I don't recall using either word in my post? You sure you have 20/20 vision?

Are you saying Gary is insane then? Theres a difference between having a brain injury and being mentally ill.

Gary is a 70 year old man with an accomplished career who lives independently its a shame people are trying to label and oppress him I don't understand why people cant just accept that that's his character and let him be without feeling they have to play the condescending good Samaritan.

Of course he isn't insane, he is a dotty 70 year old with a penchant for the macabre. He certainly isn't going to win mastermind, but there is a world of difference between a dotty 70yr old and a medically insane person. However in fairness, he is a long way short of the normal type you are trying to portray him as.

What are you talking about you're the one saying "I think you might be the only person south of the north pole that thinks he is sane and normal. The rest of us seem to be using perception... " so you are the one saying you are totally right and being overly personal.

The thread isn't about a housemate and his persona the thread is actually directed at the viewers calling Ofcom.

It's good to know a large number of the British public have empathy and understanding for an old man with a serious head injury and struggling with deafness. It would be nice to think that anyone would have compassion for someone in that situation.

Unfortunately, the response from some people on here has been quite the opposite and I have found it quite shocking. Even more incredible to say "well don't watch it if you don't like it". Colossal arrogance. I like this show and I have every right to complain when something I don't like happens on it - as much right as anyone else in fact.

As for the argument that he shouldn't be on the show in the first place, that is not the point. He IS on it - so that is the end of it. And if he is in there, any reasonable needs he has to help with his various conditions should be met. It really does make me quite angry to see the way this man is being treated and the attitude of some people towards him.

Gary rules , personally I'd love to show people like Stephanie Pratt what it feels like to be picked on , verbally abused and left out ! Sure Gary is a bit bizarre but he is only human and misunderstood . As for the rest of them I think they r slowly realising and coming around to Gary's behaviour and his reason behind it , I mean for god sake the dude was in a horrific crash and died twice I'm sure , I'd like to see if any of them who've picked on him could overcome that adversity and go on to star in such classic movies like point break , under siege and predator 2 !!!! Hope they r all ashamed of themselfs upon reflection and apoligize profusely

Older yes wiser probably not.

I had a retort prepared then I thought why give him oxygen to argue. Ok you are wiser than me, but in reality, I offered you an olive branch last series and you shunned it so I can only assume that you like what you are doing, so lets leave it at that. Wisdom is never measured in battles won, its measured in self awareness and a love for oneself.

I contacted C5 and Ofcom on the very first night and advised them I thought the inclusion of Gary Busey in a social experiment of this nature was rather ill advised. He does not appear to have the social skills needed and it is going to be car crash tv. I am sure.

Dont underestimate him he has plenty of social skills, I admire people like him who have empathy for others. Those who can chat and put their views over to help charity, to bring together people who have had similar things happen to them. Many just think ah poor me and they stay within the confines of their own minds.

It is his deafness which is not helping at the moment and the fact that James and Leslie have woven their spell around the other sheep. Not one of them at the so called party have felt remorse for the two outside.

FFS you cant assume I see every post you make.

I didn't ignore it or intentionally not respond I just never saw it.

Anyway theres no truce to be made contrary to your belief I do not seek out your posts to intentionally annoy you that's something in your head. If this was the case I obviously would have seen this post and responded with some witty remark.

Lol see the light mate that georgous face hides a heart of stone !!!!

According to mrs chopper she was nasty on the hills and even her own brother hung her out to dry , I merely state a factual option .

Watch the show after the vote for the scrap heap is done she does something that makes Gary cry ( well we see a tear being wiped away ) and he even says man wtf is with Stephanie . I'm not wanna purely hate on Stephanie my hatred is unequivocal for all picking on the poor old disabled guy who's more famous than the rest or was in his prime anyways off to watch tonight's on tv :cheer2:

He doesn't take things personally and is very chilled out.

You are correct there Vanessa, he has a very forgiving heart but he also works out his own part in a discussion. I love his spiritual side, the only disadvantage he has is his hearing. The others need to stop thinking of him in terms of a freak.

Just watch the show tonight then tell me it's not bullying. The way that lot treat Gary is a disgrace. They have no respect for him. :mad:
