[Becker]

He certainly isn't the man I saw give an Oscar nominated performance in The Buddy Holly Story but then he doesn't have to be. He has quite simply been the most entertaining and honest housemate in there. Maybe that's why he is so popular, to most.

He's a human being, a pensioner no less, who has undergone severe trauma to the point his life nearly ended. Yet despite this most of the 'celebs' in there decided to turn on him when it was the easy thing to do. I'm not saying they are not struggling with him. It must be incredibly difficult dealing with someone who acts the way he does. However his condition promotes impulsiveness, is there to be no understanding at all?

One day we will all be older, maybe more fragile and god forbid hopefully not transformed by a life changing injury. I just hope we don't run into the same hostility he has endured thus far and at least have someone around who will show some compassion and humanity.
