If I hadn't watched celeb apprentice I would be convinced Gary was a poor old man being picked on too. But I'm a bit dubious. He was disruptive and a wind up at times and he drove them nuts on it as well. You seen a lot more of him in action. He had bad social skills, he was rude, inconsiderate and not a team player. When they tried to reason with him he would thank them and say he loved them so that hasn't changed either. He didn't have much of a hearing problem either, but that may have gotten worse.

Two shows with around 24 people - they can't all be uncaring and heartless to whatever degree, it doesn't compute. So it's common sense to assume the main problem stems from Gary himself. I don't think he's fake, I think that is just him. I fully believe what the HM's are saying and I think the editing is misleading. 40 minutes of live feed can't possibly give a true picture. I was hoping that he would drive them all mad, and he is - only we are not really seeing why so we are missing out, I think.
He certainly causes controversy wherever he goes, which makes him a great HM!
What are your thoughts?
Personally I think how he was on another show a few years ago is irrelevant. I like him anyway and I'd love it if he was messing with their heads, I think he's amusing and there are sparks of genuine intelligence mixed with his eccentricity. Having said that he has my sympathies now because I think in the house, right there right now he is getting a rough deal from how they are responding to him. When we see these crazed rants towards him all we see from him is humility.

Personally I'd be telling a few people in there to **** off in his situation. And while I don't want to alarm anyone about my personal hygiene which is just fine thanks, I think in that situation I might be inclined to bathe less if someone came at me like that about having a shower. There are ways to approach someone in a situation like that and James hasn't got a clue. Instead of effectively telling Gary they didn't like him because he hasn't had a shower he could have said 'Hey I noticed you haven't had any shower time, it's free now, do you need any help to get your things in there and sneak in a nice freshen up.' It's all about tact and allowing people to keep their dignity.
