Why? because he's a joker, he has a sense of humour, he's funny, he likes to have a bit of banter with people, granted people might misconstrue that as being horrible, but in my eyes he's just a guy who has a different sense of humour to most people, he does like to stir the pot and wind people up occasionally, like when he was jokingly telling Edele she was rude during her so called 'argument' with Gary in the garden, i find him endearing and a great delight to watch. |

What has happened that bullying nasty egotists are lauded over the decent housemates who actually give a damn about other peoples well being and in James case actually brag about it as well. As nasty as Helen could be, she did try to redeem herself by admitting it and behaving better by the end, James is deliberately being a tool, saying so and reveling in his bullying behaviour. When he starts slowing down his speaking, it drives me mad, is it because Ola is not from the UK and he is in the habit of speaking like this to her, he says it is because Gary can't hear but more like he is lecturing him in a patronizing way. Detestable man. |

People supporting someone on a tv show that has no relevance to anybodies life whatsoever, is not the reason bullying happens in schools. He never once threatened violence against a 70 year old, he hasn't 'hurt the afflicted' I don't quite understand where you get that from. He hasn't encouraged anyone to follow suit about anything, it's not his fault if a lot of people agree with him, he's not a mind bender, controlling peoples mind ffs. I don;t find any of that funny because i don't see any of that really happening, so don't try and label me as someone who condones and endorses bullying tyvm. I've stated many, many times why i find James funny, but if you insist on me doing it again, so be it.. his wit, his sarcasm, his ability to have banter with people, his truthfulness, his brutality in which he delivers the truth without a care for what others think of him is also one of the may reasons i admire and support him, is that enough for you? :wavey: |
Dee is a lacuna - there's nothing there.

Stealing from care homes ?..............Tell me more :shocked: |
I wish it had been Al Pacino or Robert De Niro!.
No offence to Gary, who's apparently doing the reality show circuit for his charity - but yes, I probably wouldn't exactly have embraced him either seeing as I now switch off the tv when he starts speaking for any length of time. |

On the other hand I have found and admired the many vts Gary has produced with audiences, charity work, chat shows and have loved him immensely. |

GARY to win tonight. |
Gary talks constantly about peace, love, truth etc with lots of other wild and interesting stories.
All James and Dee talk about is themselves - or how 'bad' Gary and Audley are. No competition. GARY 2 WIN - KEEP VOTING GUYS ! ! |

If this is really what you feel has gone on then I am completely at a loss to understand why you have chosen to watch it. Wouldn't you be setting up campaigns to get BB to stop the program or at least get BB to stop people saying or doing anything that may be unpleasant? I presume if you were privy to watching what you perceive as bullying outside the house you wouldn't watch it avidly and just complain about how awful society is? I can't see how if people view this (I know some people say it's unpleasant viewing but then people watch horror films and all sorts, to get repulsed for entertainment) they don't feel complicit in adding to the fact that this is entertainment. |

I would have a lot of time for Gary. |
For me I honestly think that they were told about the brain issue, they knew about the deafness and they knew his age. Now had they all just treated him as one of them and worked out the issues with him on equal terms, it would have been a different story. They deemed him as a lesser person than them, someone not worthy of their consideration. Also he is an american so they may think that the programme belongs to them and them alone.
As Gary told them, he left everything behind him when he came into the house, he wanted to be considered as one of them but it wasnt meant to be. Audley has been the most genuine one looking out for him as a friend. James sadly appeared to be helping but then he stirred the pot behind Gary's back, thus making fun of him. There seem to have been a few chats on equal level lately but it is to late. Were they afraid of his status? |
I don't think it would have been great viewing to see people fawning over a Hollywood actor for 4 weeks either.
However, it has taught me that I probably won't go to a celebrity agent if I need a carer for myself or one of my family - (as if anyone needed that lesson). |

Within the clan if one did something wrong they advised they didnt take the mickey so much but with Gary they treated him as a defect, someone lesser than them. We know better and for me age definitely shouldnt come into it but his deafness was obviously the thing which caused a lot of his trouble. Didnt mean to say though that he was/is any lesser a person. As he was told he tried to put things right, the others didnt they are to full of their own importance. They could have then all shared their stories, we could have been far more entertained and learnt more about all of them. Much of their time has been used in pulling Gary down for their own amusement. One of the worst remarks was saying that he should be in a dog cage, not very nice, though Stephanie and James were higly amused. |
I see their behaviour as a coping mechanism. Not a moral coping mechanism just a coping mechanism.
It may be shameful, but I don't see anything unnatural in their behaviour - have you seen the nastinesses that humans have indulged world wide throughout history? Particularly when people are on the defensive for whatever reasons? Maybe it's time for BB producers to try and get a house with minimum nastiness in it, but I suspect that wouldn't work - unless they were genuinely able to create entertaining fun. Hearing their stories for 4 weeks may have entertained you - I think a 15 minute chat show interview of any of them (yes including Gary) would be enough for me and not what I'm looking for particularly in the house. For me, it's about exposing what people do in that environment - and that includes the unpleasant, rude and ugly. As long as I genuinely don't think anyone is really a victim of something they can't cope with then that's fine. I'm not interested in the winners or loser really, it's the actual process that interests me. So people don't cope as well as some others might, may not be as nice as we think we would be, could do better etc. etc. that's what makes it interesting for me. I would however appreciate a little more fun environments so BB should be more up on creating tasks that balance things that are going on. The more negative the environment the more positive the tasks etc. |
He may be a legend to some, but me and my husband had never heard of him

If something truly horrible was going on that they felt truly abhorrent, then I presume that would take action to stop it going on, not sit there watching it and deciding to vote something or other at the end of it all. |

I see a very strong willed man who doesn't listen to what others have to say because he is only interested in himself. I think he knows exactly what he is doing and instigates situations to annoy people and then stands back and plays the victim. It is pretty obvious from the comments made by evicted housemates that he is not easy to cope with. Like I have said the producers could have chosen to show him in a bad way if they had wanted but I would imagine the fact that he is a Hollywood "legend" and they have paid him lots of money they wanted their money's worth That's why different people make their opinions on people. Doesn't make anyone's wrong anyone's right. That's the idea of the show. Without live feed it is now like characters in a soap. |

As someone said the other evening to Leslie on bots, Ian I think it was. Yes the shows are edited but we can't put words into your mouth. It's still you who said those things. Editing is really irrelevant, editing hasn't put the words that I view offensive into James or Dee's mouths, that has come straight from them. Also we see how Gary responds. I find him the better person. |

Someone said the odds for James was 100/1 so bet £100 you would get 10k if the syndicates prosper they chose to all bet 3k worth of votes and still b 7k up :) wish I had placed a bet :) so all the ones voting to make Gary favourite in polls just allowed the syndicates better odds. Not a betting person but interesting to see if we are all making some people a lot richer tonight :)
