I didn't see 1 hm that was surprised that Gary was saved first. The fact is that it is a game, and they believe Gary is going to win, and so they treat him the way they do, to try and punish him for that. Not one of them knows how to deal with him properly.

In a normal environment he would be treated as an oddball. People would have fun, and enjoy his company for what it is. If any single one of them was confident in their own self worth they would be firm friends with him. As it is, they are all so incredibly shallow individuals, they are running scared.

Josy you are spot on they are all following each other with the things they are saying its like a record I would love to be in there with Gary and talk to him about all he's done.

What we are seeing is enough. Gary is constantly attacked about rude behaviour listens and thanks them, when he hasnt actually been rude. Then they totally disregard his attempts to have his side of the conversation and walk off asap. I've said on another thread his toilet habits don't sound great. The point is that is no reason to vilify him at every opportunity as the housemates are doing. People are responding to their behaviour because it is far worse and far ruder than anything we see from him. I am not seeing him call anyone names or tell them how to behave. He doesnt made snide comments about them when they walk past or call them animals and 'pets'.

When David came out he wasn't quite bright enough to catch on completely but when he mentioned Gary all he could say about his apparent terrible behaviour is that he didint like having to repeat himself and even he said that sounds bad.

Rather than telling people they need to justify their opinions for supporting Gary why don't the anti gary brigade give us some word for word encounters of when Gary said something rude, nasty or vindictive to any of them. I'm not talking about saying 'oh he was rude to david or dee' or whatever. I'm talking about word for word encounters where he says something nasty.

To me hm don't like him because he is somewhat deaf and comes over as a little eccentric and his hygieme is a little off which could easily be because he is used to auto flushing toilets and being a bit unsteady in the shower like many older or disabled people. They have escalated as a pack to point where he is the scapegoat for everything and they think they can say what they like to him. It unacceptable and uncomfortable to watch.

If i was there i would love to talk to him. I know people his age can be very direct, so it wouldn't put me off. He has so many stories and i'd love to hear them all.

I completely agree and they are missing a golden opportunity.

He's just very straight talking. Nothing wrong with that. :p
