However, I admire your optimism that if Stephanie believes that he's an arsehole (please forgive my alteration to the non-Americanism there) then he must have done something to cause it.
I feel that her views aren't based very much other than what her friend/ticket to the final Leslie is doing most of the time. His perception, meanwhile, seems to be be based not so much on Gary himself but on his formative years of being tormented by 'rednecks'.
Yes, Gary is probably a pain to live with in many respects but there's a lot of baggage influencing Leslie's behaviour towards him.

Great post
completely agree. Even though Gary can be annoying, their dislike, or "hate" (Stephanie's word) for him is completely disproportionate to what he's done in the house to annoy them. Seems based on very little.

This is quite a minor point, but on the video when Stephanie says that, it sounds like a woman is saying "that's nasty" or something, so sounds like not everyone agrees with her. Also, even if they do agree with her which as you said also isn't nice, I wouldn't say that's as bad. That's more just like sheep behaviour and conformity. Stephanie coming outright and saying to a whole group of people that she's happy they've gone having made many other comments about Gary (not sure about Frenchy) is really quite bitchy and childish, and much more malicious imo.
Audley,
Her brother was a **** and she's a malicious bitch.
didn't even hear that! I thought she'd been bad enough. Pretty malicious.
) but that was the one Rylan was in and I didnt appreciate Rylan shouting his mouth off at the pair of them. Didnt like R at all in the house and I will never understand why he won. Well ok, votes
