I think Frenchy genuinely likes Gary however - not just respects or tolerates him.

Audrey is a man of few words..we saw in the house how much they cared for each other.
I think it's apparent that Gary had 'issues' in the house. Issues not shown because of the sensitivity of them for Gary. Unlike the other housemates that have insensitively bought them to the fore, Audley refrained from that.
Gary was harmless and positive despite everything that was thrown at him...that's what won it for him. What more could Audley say?

It's the impression he left me - even a man of few words could have said how much he liked and enjoyed Gary's company.

Instead he repeated the washing up and cleaning the toilet seat tasks as evidence of how Gary was.

Perhaps they actually are best of buddies for life, I just didn't get that impression in the least.
