Did you see him running after Ricci to tickle him like a 4 year old and throw himself against the toilet door to get at him like Hercules? Not a sign of an old decrepit man there. Gary's knee and Gary's brain are in very good working order and I'm very glad of that. He can handle the HM's just fine - he's perfectly all right and it's them who are losing it - and he's doing great and having a good old time to himself playing them.

I'm finding all this poor abused Gary stuff so patronizing. Because he's elderly doesn't mean he's stupid or not capable of a strategy, far from it. He's as smart as hell - smarter than any of them. He's in there for a month not for the rest of his life. Can we just give the man some kudo's for playing the game brilliantly and quit the poor old man sycophancy!

whether gary is old/young, able bodied/disabled, hearing impaired/good hearing, is does not really matter. most people like him because the other housemates, apart from audley, adele, and lauren when she's sober, treat him so badly. if you don't think that he is abused, you must be watching a different programme to me. they sit there holier than thou, running gary down, thinking that they are so perfect. the way he has been treated is despicable. in last nights eviction, when emma announced that james was still in, they all jumped up, hugging and congratulating him. when emma announced gary, no well dones, nothing. mean spirited lot. gary to win
