James and Ricci were buddies in the house, so a bit of sympathy / empathy might have gone down better. I don't think that Gary was deliberately winding James up in this case. He always has problems empathising with others - I wonder if it's a result of the brain injury or if he's ever been assessed for Asperger's syndrome.
Another problem is that Gary is coming from a different planet from James in terms of the entertainment industry. James works closely with people and doesn't spend a lot of time in front of cameras - most of his work is behind the scenes with the same people, so he has forged life-long friendships through his work - including Ola, so he is probably viewing the connections he's making on BB as real friendships. Gary has done more than a hundred films and the whole Hollywood business is known to be extremely superficial, and soulless, with people being dropped like hot potatoes if their last film bombed. BB is just another 'show' to Gary and he's looking to serving up a slice of whatever entertainment people are wanting, and has no interest in making friends.
