Thank god for that, Channel 5 is coming to their senses. It's still unfair to leave Frenchy out there though, she should be allowed inside to sleep as well.

That's good. He has health issues and could be at risk of a stroke. Producers were mad to force him to sleep outside. :mad:

He has suffered brain damage after his accident and cancer. He actually died, but was brought back.

If he's come in BB to be treat differently,if he cannot take part in tasks ,if he's got to be treat with kid gloves and wrapped in bubbly wrap he should have stayed at home, he must be well skint !!

It wasn't even a task it was just leslies bitter twisted revenge.

There's always been a history in BB of people being let off certain tasks due to health reasons so why this should stop now I don't know.
It would be shocking if BB wouldn't accept people in wheelchairs, for example, because certain members of the public bayed that they wouldn't be able to do certain tasks so shouldn't be allowed in.
Either BB adapts tasks so everyone can do them or it is accepted that there are reasons why people can't do them. The public can decide whether they think it's genuine or not by voting.

I really think Gary's family and management should have tried to talk him out of doing the show. However, the fact is he is now in there and people should try their best to treat him with dignity and respect given his age and medical conditions no matter how irritating he is. James has gone up in my estimation for offering to change places with him.

Im not saying that ,but if he's not upto it and is not going to take part he shouldn't have entered

Has there ever been a housemate in a wheelchair?

So you are saying that people with disabilities who may not (and not know in advance whether or not they can) do some of the tasks that BB sets should never apply?
He was up to the first task - he has been up to living in the house so far - or are you saying he hasn't been?
I don't really understand your point sorry.
Has there ever been a housemate in a wheelchair?
Does that mean there shouldn't be one?

He should never have been put there to be quite honest.
And in celeb shows there usually is a couple exempt from tasks for medical reasons..I dont really see the big deal. If it was EVERY task then fair enough, but he did the eating challenge thing no problem and I would bet he does the rest of them too...

Yeah but this isn't a thread on whether or not we like his character, it's on whether or not him/frenchy should be sleeping out there.

He has taken part with vigour, look at his advertising theme, it was brilliant. I have no doubt that he will take part in other tasks. It is wrong to expect anyone to sleep outside if they are not up to it. Other older HMs have been let off of tasks for medical reasons. He has as much right to be in there as anyone else. A lot of the public want something other than the frivolity of the younger generation with too much, whats that word, cant spell it :cheer2::laugh:
We need more entertainment and Gary can teach the younger ones a lot.

He should have been exempt from it and it's shameful that nobody pushed forward and said No or NON and told Leslie in no uncertain terms that it was wrong to put a 70yr old man outside, especially one that has suffered brain damage.
I hear what you say that there were some feeble attempts to protest with Leslie, but if they had had any balls they would have stood up and said " No way, I am going in there instead" Simples.
It also reflects badly on the little prima donna, nasty piece of work under that charming exterior.
Hes not slept outside Vanessa
Gary isn't the only hm to be excused from tasks due to medical reasons, there's been plenty in the past.
Nell_McCoy
23-08-2014, 01:52 PM
Why is he in the house if he has medical reasons?
Because everyone in this world is not young, strong and healthy. Having a disability or being old should not exclude people from participating as well as they can in any walk of life including BB. We will all become old and ill eventually. It may seem very far away to you but it comes to us all some day.

There's plenty he can still do. Just not sleep outside in the clod.

If you're really interested why don't you use google and find out why it isn't a good idea for people who have been through the kind of surgery Gary has to sleep outdoors in a cold environment!
I thought it would have been pretty obvious to most people, common sense, but i guess not judging by your 'question'. :shrug:

I think it's about time Gary left CBB. Brain damaged and deaf, he is really completely unsuited to that environment.
A bad decision on the part of those who run the show, IMO.
Perhaps he should be given the option of leaving with a pro-rata fee based on how long he's spent in the house. I think that would be fair. :)

No doubt there are those that would argue that being brain damaged and deaf makes an ideal candidate for this type of competition.
Anyway, he seems to be managing just fine so I'm not sure what the fuss is about. He just didn't sleep outside on the scrap heap over night.

IMO the only fair thing is to let him stay, back him and to get him to the winning post. He deserves the chance far more than many in there, what are they all doing? A few have hangups which they are trying to sort out, a few are trying to make names for themselves. Same old, same old pranks and flirting. Kellie is trying to accept herself but I do believe that she is having a very hard time doing that. Maybe it is not the right time for her, is she just trying to escape from Frank? (I say this out of concern).
So we would have to go through them all to see who deserves it and who doesnt. Will they earn their money, that is the question. If BB take Gary out why should he have to have a drop in the fee, I have no doubt that it was agreed upon in pen and ink. Not his fault if they do, they will have to honour it.

I agree, operations repair so it really isnt fair for some to just say brain damaged. He copes excellently with his charity vts as I have said.
Imo it is the deafness which makes it difficult for him but who was it who won over Dexter (wanted D to win).......Sam, who went under the radar for a long time and then he erupted, mmmmm, on poor old Dexter. Didnt like Sam at all.
Gary is trying to take part, that is if the others let him. I still cannot for the life of me get over the pool incident, did I miss something? Why were they all just sat around the little pip squeak watching him swim and why was Gary ordered away? Celebrities....mmmmm....

Gary is more than capable of speaking up and i'm sure that if he felt like he couldn't cope any longer in there then he wouldn't hesitate to make his wishes known to BB.
It's so funny to see those who don't like him in here trying to come up with any and every way or reason they can get him out of the house!!!:laugh:
Gary's going nowhere for the time being so you better just get used to his delightful presence!:thumbs:

Why should he leave because others are so intolerant?
He is doing fine in there, he is actually enjoying himself regardless of the ignorant people he has been thrown in there with.,

Gary might be brain damaged, half deaf, as mad as a box of frogs and has reached his biblical limit of 3 score years and 10 but he is fairing up better than some of the other so called healthy HM's. I still think that he needs a bit of looking after but he is providing us with moments of gold tv and I have even had a reasonable wager on him to get to the finals.
