That's my point, I think it's too early for him to be inthe public eye with the issues still to the fore. When he heard the others talking about him while he was in bed - won't have helped. The significant part of that was this though - see if you agree - IF he has recovered enough, & is mentally stable enough to take this on then I believe he should have gone into the kitchen & fronted them up, not confrontational but join in the conversation. I would have, - to run back to bed & hide under the covers - was running away, insecurity causes people to eavesdrop & can lead to problems - thoughts run away with you -(they're talking about me behind my back, -they're out to get me etc..) Traci was defending & praising him for admitting he was Gay earlier, yet he hasn't thanked her or acknowledged that - he has simply taken on board that he is being talked about - lying in bed after, staring into space - too much thinking going on. Anywat this is too deep - I don't think he's insane, but, he has NOT recovered his mental state enough yet to take this on - I admire his motive but his erratic behaviour proves he's not ready & could, & probably will result in more harm than good - A "go-back" not a "come-back" is what I see & I feel sorry for him. 10 years on, I still have slight problems around drinkers - but, I can easily manage now - thank god! I wish him good luck with his recovery but doubt if it's coming through CBB

I understand where your coming from but I think with his issues everyone is different and only being the person himself can decide if he is ready or not to take something on. The fact that he has gone on the show is a plus it shows he isnt hiding anymore and he personally thinks he is ready to come back and actually do something. When your in a house like bb things will seem weird for a while. When i watche dhim first few nights I was thinking hmm he is kind of odd the way he does random things but his talk with Jodie especially showed that he is very intelligent and he was guiding her to seek some kind of help something which he has done/is doing. I think it shall be interested to watch a week or so into things and how he reacts to certain celebs leaving the show.
