Gary is the most entertaining hm in there as well as one of the most popular - I seriously doubt BB have any regrets about putting him in there. He knocks spots off the brain-dead Rickiy and Lauren. You sound incredibly ageist.

As for nasty habits - James takes the cake on that one. His cowardly bitching, bullying and two-faced behaviour towards those he considers 'vulnerable' are what most would call 'nasty'. He is a pitiful excuse for a man.

I have to say the most entertaining thing so far was seeing the look on his spiteful little face when it finally dawned on him that Gary is not such an easy target as he thought.

If his disabilities made him too weak to be in BB then BB and his agent have done him a disservice by subjecting him to the environment you speak of! Personally I believe he like the others chose to go in for his own reasons and I would think BB had him certified fit and able to be in the house. If like all good actors he researched the environment he was going into he would also have prepared his script!

I didn't say he was too weak to go in there. What should be obvious to anyone is that his 'issues' could affect communication and lead to misunderstandings. Most of the other hms showed absolutely no understanding of that - which only goes to show that so-called celebs are just as ignorant as Mr and Mrs Average. James in particular used what he considered an 'easy-target' and ridiculed him, not to mention threatened to hit him. Guy is a toal creep.

I think Gary was very confused in his new environment but now that he has started to get used to it and adapt - we are now starting to see more of the real him and see that he is more clued-up than people realised. The vile James also realised that 'weak old Gary Busey' actually had the measure of him. Priceless!

What you see as obvious issues others see as play acting. I saw all the HM immediately showing him respect and care for various reasons which included his age, his standing as as an actor and his hearing... Gradually the sympathy waned because not only didn't he recognise people were making allowances for him he seemed to me to want to change the people he thought were not treating him with respect! I didn't see any obvious reason that he deserved respect, only the need to be heard above the others...

You weren't watching the same show as me then, they started picking on him pretty early on in the show.

You have a severe misunderstanding of his ailments. As Kellie said to Audley and the case stands the same here. " Just because I have a sex change doesn't mean to say that I have had a brain transplant" That goes for Gary too, he banged his head, this doesn't mean to say that he's lost his rapier intelligence and wit. When he's called upon to use it is a different matter whether he can or not as it will come and go, just like his hearing. I's also dependent on how he is feeling at any particular moment.

He deserves respect for his age alone, that doesn't come and go it doesn't wane with time. You don't suddenly stop respecting someone because they are finding it hard to adjust or find it hard to come terms with your surroundings. Walk a mile in his shoes..... He's flown in from abroad and all of a sudden youngsters and old uns are all thrown in the mix together. Man., he's 70. Something like that could take weeks, months to adjust to. He's admitted his failings and has tried to improve his manners, is hygiene, which can clearly be seen as he's showering every day.

What they have done as a group is gradually realise he's a threat to their own narcissistic, self centred ambitions and have slowly ostracised him. Even if he'd defecated in their beds each night- they still had no reason to turn their backs on him. Even if he'd constantly bumped into each and every one of them they still had no right to turn their back on him. Even if he spilled coffee every day all over the house, they still had no right to turn their back on him. This lot are the most egotistic, self absorbed group of people you would NEVER wish to spend time with.

The ostracising and treating him like some sort of leper has back fired on the group tremendously. He's nobodies fool, that is for sure. He knows the British public are keeping in him and he's cottoned on to that. So he's thought,okay, where ever I can I will entertain myself, chat to myself and hey ho, he's getting a positive reaction. He's probably bored and frustrated in there, every time he tries to have a meaningful conversation with someone they get up and walk off. Leaves him no option but to talk to himself and us and he sure is entertaing. Nay, fascinating.

He walks the walk and talks the talk.

There's only one Gary Busey, one Gary Busey

Tehe , he wasn't wheeled into a care home. He was offered a 'role' for money to go to BB in the UK. He would have been briefed by his agent and he will have watched previous shows, he is no victim. Anyway this isn't the GBBC appreciation thread

There's only one person throwing the victim card around, do you have a mirror to hand, look no further.


As for your comments re: OAP's home, that reveals a lot about your outlook on the older generation and you as a person in general.

He has said on numerous occasions that he isn't a victim and would never be allowed himself to be, he's got on with it and if you can't take the mountain to Muhammed ..... he's found a way to flourish without his fellow housemates, to hell with 'em he must have thought.

I think most viewers would like to think what happens in the house is or would be a reflection in wider society outside and most are appalled at the way the vast majority of the wannabees have treated Mr Busey. You just DON'T treat a guest in your country and one of 3 score years plus 10 the way they have done.

Jordan ( Bully Elliot) was down right hostile towards him and that set the tone for the rest. The sniggering and back biting began. For a 36 year old man to have to be hauled into the diary room and to be told , in front of the nation that his behavior was reprehensible and that it had to stop and you have temerity to come on here and claim for some reason that it was Mr Busey that was being awkward and lost the support of his fellow housemates, get real.

With regards to the Ubiquitous support Mr Busey has garnered it here's it's there it's every blooming where. You just cannot stop it popping up all over the place.

One Gary Busey, there's only one Gary Busey

No facts in your statement, just insults and assumptions. It's a game show, it's a choice, no one is all right and no one is all wrong. My opinion is mine and yours is yours. By insulting people you try and place yourself on a pedestal. The show is a mish mash of old and new, clever and not so clever. Gary is a contestant like the others and some people see one thing and others see other things. My preference is for James, and I am entitled to it.
