The problem is that since those videos, people have started using them to form their opinons of him as opposed to his actions in the house. As someone said a couple of days ago, he's really no different to any other preacher, and he's hardly the first person to claim God can heal diseases. The getting drunk on the lord thing is a bit odd I admit, but I dont think its may place to judge people. Live and let live and all that
I think he's been fantastic in the house - funny (but a lot of people dont get his humour), perceptive, clever and friendly. He's been criticised heavily tnoight for being two-faced by being nice to Ben after slagging him off, but most people dont see that there's never been anything malicious behind it, it's come across quite affectionate to me when they reminisce over his apparent lack of team work. He's even said a couple of times that Ben was his best mate in the house, so the whole furor surrounding Dave recently is unjustified in my opinion..

Those videos have been posted from the beginning of the series, and I've personally disliked Dave from very early on in the series, so take that as a correction if you want.
I don't think the furor is unjustified when you look at what other people obsess about in the BB house: keeping crisps to yourself, gossiping. These are not moral issues, but we make them into one. It's actually a lot deeper moral issue given Dave's beliefs, but I don't really like playing Big Moral Brother myself. Despite my problems with Dave, I can admit he's been a great housemate and I'd like him through to the final. That said, I can't stand the man.
