I admire that...

[Josy]

Gary has never once insulted any of the people in that house with him, he hasn't bitched behind anyone's backs or referred to them as nasty names or anything like that.

He must have a lot of patience tbh because some of them speak to him like ****.

I completely agree, I think I'd be braining a few people in there with the frying pan if they spoke to me the way they do him.

[Creggle]

He's an amazing, laid back and very spiritually calm guy. It's of no shock that he's rising well above the other cretins he's lumped in with, James and Steph being the main parrrricks.

[ebandit]

I feel that Gary saying thank you! to those that criticise sums up the situation well

it appears that Gary entered the house as the 'Star' and is sticking to that concept knowing that winding up other hm's puts him in control of house dynamics

remember Edele patiently showing Gary how to wash up..........surely she would have appreciated what was going on and just stated the obvious

the dishes need washing either get on with it or I will do it

I also admire Gary for how calm he remains, never offensive or bitchy, and seems really willing to learn from others, but sometimes I wonder if he does kind of let them walk all over him a bit? Sometimes a housemate can give him a load of criticisms in a really rude way and he'll say thank you and I can't help but feel it's a bit doormat-y.

Then again, Gary's much more mature and more forgiving than me so can probably look past things like that just to keep more harmony in the house. That is something I would like to work on.

I don't think he's a door mat at all tbh, I think he could be pretty scary if he ever went nuts! He's just very laid back and doesn't need to shout or raise his tone to dominate people like the other less intelligent housemates feel they have to. I think he's just a kind bloke who probably wouldn't give many of the people in there the time of day in the real world, so he's handling their crap the way he see's best.

[smileymummy]

Or maybe he has and its just not been shown?

If he can remain calm with Meatloaf gobbing off at him, he should be able to handle the BB house.

[Josy]

Or maybe he has and its just not been shown?

It's possible, but then so is lots of other things possible that we haven't been shown and we discuss the things that actually are shown.

I also think since the housemates like to discuss Gary so much behind his back that someone would have mentioned something at some point.

[Josy]

If he can remain calm with Meatloaf gobbing off at him, he should be able to handle the BB house.

Hahah that's true, Meatloaf went bat**** crazy at him :laugh:

[chuff me dizzy]

Do you admire him spitting all over the place? smelling ? leaving the toilet dirty ? not helping out until he realised it would keep getting him nominated ?

[jasperinporto]

I completely agree, I think I'd be braining a few people in there with the frying pan if they spoke to me the way they do him.

I think a part of the reason for some of the housemates rude behaviour towards Gary is the fact that they really don't have a clue how to interact with someone of a much higher celebrity status than themselves. Gary is an icon who has lived and experienced a lot more than any of them in the house.

Hence their lack of respect and their inability to be socially accepting of his eccentric ways.:conf:

[Josy]

Do you admire him spitting all over the place? smelling ? leaving the toilet dirty ? not helping out until he realised it would keep getting him nominated ?

No I admire what I posted above.

And we have never been shown him spitting or leaving the toilet dirty we have heard it mentioned once.

I would also love to know how you can say he is smelling? he changes his clothes and has been showering :shrug:

[rubberface]

He is a legend! A deserving winner. Not Dee or George who are nasty ..

Yeah good point. I'm much less laid back than he is so know I'd have gone mad if I'd had to deal with some of them like he has! :laugh: It does show a lot of intelligence and maturity to deal with their criticisms/attitude the way he has, I really do admire it.

[Jules2]

Or maybe he has and its just not been shown?

No Smiley I am sure it would have been shown, this is what BB thrives on the arguments, the fallouts and the discomfort of their captives. They will have a field day if Gary does let rip.

[chuff me dizzy]

No exactly we've not been shown,but we know its happening ,he still got the same jacket on he's worn from the start

No we don't know it's happening Chuff. We heard it mentioned once or twice and nothing since.

[jessicadanielle]

How much dirt do you think people produce from their skin whilst sat in a house doing nothing all day? :laugh: I really don't think there's anything wrong with wearing the same jacket everyday, I do it sometimes. I'm a human not a walking pile of dirt :tongue:

You seem to really dislike Gary but all I've seen you comment on is his hygiene which clearly doesn't affect you as a viewer. :shrug:

[chuff me dizzy]

No we don't know it's happening Chuff. We heard it mentioned once or twice and nothing since.

Ok but I've heard several hm8s comment on his vile hygiene ,and I can see with my own eyes he's still wearing the same jacket

[Liam-]

But if he didn't shower for 6 days, and doesn't shower until he's told to (which i see is a habit he's changing) if he wears the same thing every day, it has to acquire a certain.. essence after a while? :laugh:

Haha potentially!! :yuk:

I just find it a bit confusing when FMs complain about Gary's hygiene amongst all of his other annoying habits; there are plenty of reasons to justify disliking him which would kind of affect us as a viewer. His lack of showering etc. could annoy the hms sure, but why would that annoy a viewer? :shrug: Each to their own though.

[Margarine.]

Gary's a good housemate I couldn't care less if he smells

I personally find it a reason to.. not dislike him, but feel sympathy for the rest of them, because putting yourself in their shoes, it would be horrible to live with someone who has as a set of hygiene skills as bad as Gary seems to have, it would be really uncomfortable to live with, that's the only reason i have a problem with his hygiene.

We dont know if he smells or leaves the toilet dirty so this is irevelent also i have never seen him spit anywhere

They weren't diplomatic with BO Dawn. :hehe: She's gone down in Big Brother history as the "smelly one from BB7".

I'd love to know what's going on in his head when he's being lectured at. He may be thinking, F off, you stupid wanker. I remember thinking stuff like that when I was in school, and the Head was lecturing about all my faults.

Me too. I really hope they ask about it in his interviews. I'd love to know how it makes him feel. In a recent video on here (i think in the "James: Where does he get off?" thread) Gary seems to show a little that he's getting fed up of lectures from him.

[Northern Monkey]

Gary lets it all fly over his head,He is Hollywood royalty,These peasants he's in with and their opinions mean nothing.

I think he does it to wind them up. :joker:
He listens to them, then says thanks for pointing that out, I'll change that, then he carries on doing it all the while laughing to himself. :dance:

:joker: yeah maybe! His comment "I love cleaning now that I've been taught how to" (or something like that) sounded so sarcastic! Would love it if he came out and revealed the whole thing was a wind up.

[jet]

:joker: yeah maybe! His comment "I love cleaning now that I've been taught how to" (or something like that) sounded so sarcastic! Would love it if he came out and revealed the whole thing was a wind up.

He won't. He's a silent assassin disguised as a shaggy haired rumpled old man who is endlessly kind and forgiving. :hehe:
He could simply say "Don't speak to me like that" but he's enjoying their irritation and annoyance too much. He won't be happy until there are chunks of hair lying all over the house which they have pulled from their own heads. :joker:
That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. :joker::joker:

[Amy Jade]

This is different its St Gary !! :worship: ,I also remember the girl in the dressing gown ( was it Laura?) got attacked on here for being lazy and wearing the same dressing gown for ages too

In fairness Laura wore the same dressing gown for a whole month on every highlights show so it was clearly not washed because a dressing gown would take a while to dry.

Gary has only been in the house for a week and he could have washed it because he is not seen in it on a daily basis.

[the truth]

Do you admire him spitting all over the place? smelling ? leaving the toilet dirty ? not helping out until he realised it would keep getting him nominated ?

yes absolutely, hes a legend. thats all trivial drivel.

[jaxie]

This is different its St Gary !! :worship: ,I also remember the girl in the dressing gown ( was it Laura?) got attacked on here for being lazy and wearing the same dressing gown for ages too
The point is Gary was asked to shower and did and has since. I've not seen him spit though this can be a habit for some men but he probably stopped if he was asked not to. So you are really flogging a dead horse. I know its hard to find arguments to discredit him but the repetitiveness when he is clearly showering and not spitting now is just getting boring.

[Robodog]

Gary is the real deal.

True he hasn't bitched once about anyone (even though probably most BB contestants in the entire history would have snapped by now after all the insults he's had)

Not only that - he has taken on board the issues raised about cleaning up etc and actually done something about it, without complaint.

Yet they still find time to mock him. People who do that to him just expose themselves to have a problem. Gary, despite his Hollywood royalty status, is not too proud or stubborn to make a change. Says alot about him and how genuine his flexible outlook on life is.

[smileymummy]

You havent a clue what garys doing! your only seeing housemates reactions,quite odd that really isnt it?

[Ant.]

David calling him a game player... I find it funny that the housemates say he has no respect when everyone but Gary has talked bad about each other. Gary's had more of a journey than Helen.

[ThriceShy]

Gary has class. You can't buy that. You either have it or not.

[the truth]

Gary has class. You can't buy that. You either have it or not.

true, I love him to bits

[Patricia4]

He's a great guy that's all that I care about.

[waterhog]

does he no what he is doing or is his illness preventing him from seeing this. he may not have bitched but he has caused allot of rows ie face to face but is that deliberate or just for show - is he playing the best game ?

[Robodog]

I know i wonder that sometimes.

But i get the feeling he has been through so much therapy - and is open minded enough to apply that to life's dramas when they show up.

He has learnt the power of not getting mad with people who are mad at you and is putting that into action.

It's a fresh thing to see as normally most people in the world (and especiallyin BB) would just snap back at their aggressors and it ends up looking like a 50/50 argument.

Gary says nothing bad in return and so it shows up who the real aggressors are as it stays one sided.

[ebandit]

Gary has class. You can't buy that. You either have it or not.

it's kinda cool to sit back and put ones feet upon the dining table but classy
.................no!

my thought is that gary is continiuing his game plan winding hm's up

it's all a game..............pretending everyone is his friend and saying thanks! to detractors
