Gary has never once insulted any of the people in that house with him, he hasn't bitched behind anyone's backs or referred to them as nasty names or anything like that.

He must have a lot of patience tbh because some of them speak to him like ****.

I completely agree, I think I'd be braining a few people in there with the frying pan if they spoke to me the way they do him.

He's an amazing, laid back and very spiritually calm guy. It's of no shock that he's rising well above the other cretins he's lumped in with, James and Steph being the main parrrricks.

I feel that Gary saying thank you! to those that criticise sums up the situation well

it appears that Gary entered the house as the 'Star' and is sticking to that concept knowing that winding up other hm's puts him in control of house dynamics

remember Edele patiently showing Gary how to wash up..........surely she would have appreciated what was going on and just stated the obvious

the dishes need washing either get on with it or I will do it

I also admire Gary for how calm he remains, never offensive or bitchy, and seems really willing to learn from others, but sometimes I wonder if he does kind of let them walk all over him a bit? Sometimes a housemate can give him a load of criticisms in a really rude way and he'll say thank you and I can't help but feel it's a bit doormat-y.

Then again, Gary's much more mature and more forgiving than me so can probably look past things like that just to keep more harmony in the house. That is something I would like to work on.

I don't think he's a door mat at all tbh, I think he could be pretty scary if he ever went nuts! He's just very laid back and doesn't need to shout or raise his tone to dominate people like the other less intelligent housemates feel they have to. I think he's just a kind bloke who probably wouldn't give many of the people in there the time of day in the real world, so he's handling their crap the way he see's best.

Or maybe he has and its just not been shown?

If he can remain calm with Meatloaf gobbing off at him, he should be able to handle the BB house.

It's possible, but then so is lots of other things possible that we haven't been shown and we discuss the things that actually are shown.

I also think since the housemates like to discuss Gary so much behind his back that someone would have mentioned something at some point.

Hahah that's true, Meatloaf went bat**** crazy at him

[chuff me dizzy]

Do you admire him spitting all over the place? smelling ? leaving the toilet dirty ? not helping out until he realised it would keep getting him nominated ?

I think a part of the reason for some of the housemates rude behaviour towards Gary is the fact that they really don't have a clue how to interact with someone of a much higher celebrity status than themselves. Gary is an icon who has lived and experienced a lot more than any of them in the house.

Hence their lack of respect and their inability to be socially accepting of his eccentric ways.

No I admire what I posted above.

And we have never been shown him spitting or leaving the toilet dirty we have heard it mentioned once.

I would also love to know how you can say he is smelling? he changes his clothes and has been showering

[rubberface]

He is a legend! A deserving winner. Not Dee or George who are nasty ..

Yeah good point. I'm much less laid back than he is so know I'd have gone mad if I'd had to deal with some of them like he has! It does show a lot of intelligence and maturity to deal with their criticisms/attitude the way he has, I really do admire it.

No Smiley I am sure it would have been shown, this is what BB thrives on the arguments, the fallouts and the discomfort of their captives. They will have a field day if Gary does let rip.

No we don't know it's happening Chuff. We heard it mentioned once or twice and nothing since.

How much dirt do you think people produce from their skin whilst sat in a house doing nothing all day? I really don't think there's anything wrong with wearing the same jacket everyday, I do it sometimes. I'm a human not a walking pile of dirt

You seem to really dislike Gary but all I've seen you comment on is his hygiene which clearly doesn't affect you as a viewer.

Ok but I've heard several hm8s comment on his vile hygiene ,and I can see with my own eyes he's still wearing the same jacket

But if he didn't shower for 6 days, and doesn't shower until he's told to (which i see is a habit he's changing) if he wears the same thing every day, it has to acquire a certain.. essence after a while?

Haha potentially!!

I just find it a bit confusing when FMs complain about Gary's hygiene amongst all of his other annoying habits; there are plenty of reasons to justify disliking him which would kind of affect us as a viewer. His lack of showering etc. could annoy the hms sure, but why would that annoy a viewer? Each to their own though.

Gary's a good housemate I couldn't care less if he smells

I prefer to call it a stench
