The convo with Lauren - James was encouraging Lauren in something she wanted to do and Gary was mumbling away about not 'pushing' her at the start of the scene - that is what I saw anyway. :shrug: He likes to wind people up imo. But I love him, he's great to watch. :laugh:

As far as we were shown Gary never asked David to do anything, the same thing you just posted can be swung round the other way, if you are going to get annoyed at someone you are supposedly helping then it's probably best you don't act as though you care in the first place.

Well he did, he got on with it himself.

David getting annoyed, called Gary a prick numerous times and then continuing to mumble under his breath and then moan to the other housemates tells me he doesn't care.

David cares about David. IMO.

Deary me.

He is being labelled rude and ungrateful for daring to say he needed more ice.

He's being labelled ungrateful and rude for the way he speaks to people who are trying to help him.. if he needed more ice he needed more ice, David told him multiple times he would do him more ice, but he just kept repeating it wasn't enough even though he heard what David said, It's not about him wanting more ice, it's about the way he went about saying he needed more ice, he came off really rude and incredibly ungrateful to David for trying to help him, not once did he say thank you or anything, that's just common courtesy

People online seem to all be on board of the 'Gary's being bullied' bandwagon but are people sure that's the case?

Even though a lot of people will follow the crowd, isn't it weird that almost all of the house apart from Frency...who is a troublemaker herself, seem to dislike Gary.

I understand that Gary has a mental illness and might react in a different way to one of the other housemates but in all honestly, why would you want to be around someone who you're living with for 24/7 when they constantly tell you to be quiet so they can speak or make you sit there for ages while they explain to you about how they've lived for 32 past lives. It might be okay if you could disagree and add input but Gary doesn't let people do that.

I think Gary is the main problem here and I'm not really sure if he should be put in. I dislike James and find him a little bit too eager for an argument but the other day Gary was going on and on to start an argument and it was very clear what he was doing but people on twitter still claimed that James was bullying Gary? :shrug:

The house is completely lacking in any form of human compassion, its disgusting to watch actually.

I don't think Gary's causing the problems no.

I do think it is showing how intolerant people (some people) are and can be to other's peoples difficulties, I do not think it's bullying at all Gary can be awkward and annoying at times just like everyone else can but he is in no way 'insufferable'

They just can't be bothered to deal with Gary's hearing or other problems so the easy thing for them to do is isolate him, when they do need to repeat themselves and things like that they get annoyed about it as if it's a waste of their time.

Take the conversation with James from last nights highlights as an example. He was annoyed at Gary before they have even started having the conversation, he looked at Gary in disgust as if he wasn't entitled to join the conversation, the man is entitled to have an opinion and try to interact with the group.

It doesn't matter if you're in pain or not, the way he was talking was rude and he was being ungrateful, pain is not an excuse.. he fell over, he wasn't giving birth.

I can understand people not liking Gary, that's fine, but coming out with crap that he is ungrateful when he is in pain is just beyond acceptable to me.

That's all i'm going to say on the subject

That. Well said.

I also think some of the audience who are complaining about him are not actually listening to what he is saying. I've seen conversations completely misquoted in this forum. For instance earlier someone mentioned the Lauren and James conversation and him butting in. What he actually said when James kept asking her to sing is that she was embarrassed and you can't force her then for some reason James decided he was the dancing Brad Pitt and accused Gary of starting an argument.

Someone said in another thread he told David his help wasn't enough. What Gary actually said was the ice David brought wasn't enough to ease the injury it needed more ice. The housemates and some viewers just aren't listening to what he is actually saying because they don't like him.

Well nobody is saying that in this thread. We all know he was complaining that one ice pack wasn't enough. He was still rude though.

So imagine a scenario, old man falls in the park and someone brings him ice, old man has a fair bit of injury experience and explains the ice won't be enough, he's in pain. How is that rude? What would your reaction be throw the ice at him?

No-one is saying he was rude for saying he needed more ice, read my reply to Josy's post, people are saying he was rude for the way he went about it and spoke to David, not for the act of saying he needed more ice, you seem to be the one misquoting people.
