Gary is always in the right...always in the right....always in the right....always in the right...and it's boring as hell to read.

He isn't always in the right though jet, there are plenty of posts saying that.

Agreed. Lots of Gary fans accept that he isn't always in the right

Give me examples of when he was wrong in the house, in your opinion.

I dunno why I should have to give a list to "prove" I have a balanced opinion of Gary but on the forum I have accepted that he can be rude at times. He does have a weird thing where he doesn't like to be interrupted but will quite often interrupt others. We've also seen him do the "ssh" thing a few times that hms seem to hate. He can be quite forceful with his opinions, like the CGI thing, he could have just dropped it but had to keep on at Leslie that it was Graphics, which was wrong anyway! When Leslie mentioned his toilet habits I could have vommed, eww. That's definitely disrespectful of his housemates. His behaviour when David offered to give him the ice pack was a little weird, but I don't think it was "wrong" actually, just too abrupt.

I have seen other FMs who are fans of Gary admit these faults too, and yes, there are always some people who don't accept that their fave is ever in the wrong. I think it's just because Gary is a forum fave and has a lot of airtime so a lot of forum discussion that it seems that nobody accepts Gary's flaws. I've also seen fans of other hms who don't seem to accept they're ever in the wrong or that Gary's ever in the right and I agree it's dead frustrating.

In a post above you said "I prefer flawed human beings whose faults are acknowledged by others", and one of the great things about Gary is that he does acknowledge his flaws in discussions and agrees to work on them.

Thank you for your honesty and taking the time to respond!

(I'm a Gary fan too, but not for the same reasons as most I think.)

There isn't though. Is there even one thread that deals with something negative about Gary? I honestly see very few posts that admit Gary is at fault for anything. I love the guy because he drives people round the bend - just as he did in the celeb apprentice usa - but now he's portrayed as a pitiful figure who nobody cares about or some sort of spiritual guru whose every word should be hung onto as if he has the key to the mystery of life. All way OTT for me.
