He is a man who has brain damage and is trying to sleep they knew he was unstable and took advantage and why laugh in his face

[CaudleHalbard]

They were probably pissed, so anything seems hilarious.......

The way I see it is that Gary made himself an open target the previous night trying to shush the housemates in the bedroom. I knew it would come back to haunt him. They now want to play pranks on him to irk him. It is certainly wrong to do so but if he can find a way of laughing at them they might leave him alone.

I am beginning to like Gary but I still feel that Big Brother is NOT the series for him to appear in. There are always night time shenanigans, loud housemates and lewd comments. If I were his age and having his stature as an actor I would run a mile from BB no matter WHAT they offered me. Just my humble opinion

I agree with this and the original post.

Gary may not be the easiest person to live with but many of the reasons for that stem from health issues.

"So what? That ain't the other HM's ****ing fault, is it?" may be the gist of some people's thoughts on this. No, but it will be the measure of their decency and compassion as human beings.

Even with that to one side, you had a bunch of younger people who should know better being incredibly unkind and thoughtless to a man in his 70s who was trying to sleep.

I found it probably more unpleasant to watch than most, if not all, of this year's civilian BB altercations.

It was cheap.

[Brother Leon]

Felt bad for Gary. They could of and should of made dares that wouldn't bother someone's sleep.

[Pincho Paxton]

It was a stupid joke made by stupid people.

[the truth]

everyone who was involved is guilty of bullying an old man. an old man 8000 miles from home. just so typical of big brother. that type of thing is bullying and big brother should reprimand every last twat for it

[LukeB]

felt sorry for gary then tbh

[Vicky.]

Yeah it was quite uncomfortable to watch really.

'elders' should not be respected if they don't show respect themselves, being old is no excuse to deserve respect. it works both ways.

it was bullying, anyone who says otherwise condones bullying
lets all mock and threaten and shout at and laugh at and wake up the deaf 70 year old brain damaged texan from 8000 miles away....complete and utter bullying. sleep deprivation alone is nasty......big brother should have warned james over the hit a 70 year old comment

so waking somebody up is bullying now? they've only been in there for about 48 hours and it's not like they've been discluding him in all of their conversations or anything like that, it was a bit of fun.

[Dollface]

Nah i really didn't like what they did to Gary in tonights ep. The over-the-top laughing afterwards was out of order -Gary must've known they were laughing at him, imagine how he must have felt?

How would you feel if that was your dad? @Sophiee

[cfromhx02]

OK but he did bring it on himself with his "up the ar*e" comments to James & "his tubes of vaseline" comments about Leslie.

He's a bigot who tried to lie his way out of it saying it was a joke.

I'm no fan of James but that doesn't stop Gary being an uneducated bigot, that's why they joked that he'd went to sleep with a man,

As Gary and his supporters here would say they should just say to Gary "it was only a joke"

see how he likes it, when others use a lie about it being just a joke to cover up the true meaning behind it.

They clearly did it to show quite correctly in my opinion that they knew Gary wasn't joking and they don't like him for being the prejudiced bully he is.

Bet not many on here talk about him being a bully.

He was over the top when he ordered James to stand up wasn't he ?

good to read a sensible and unbiased post on the situation.

Agree and I am wondering if this was also James intention. If so then imo he got the worst of it.

Gary can come across as rude but until we know a bit more about him then I am thinking best reserve judgement. If found guilty then take him down via reasoned argument and nominations not veiled threats or stupid pranks.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I don't mind this. It will make him more popular.

[Natalie.]

Wasn't funny and was hard to watch

The polarity in views is quite astonishing. I really cannot imagine how it could be possible to come up with a statement like this after viewing the highlights.

The boys came across as twats, why every year do housemates have no respect for those sleeping in the bedroom?

like you are considering garys age - you have to consider the young ones age. they are all excited - in a new environment - maybe a little drunk and have no outside pressure ie getting up for work - they must be allowed to enjoy themselves.


i thought that was hallirious how it ended and yes i have sympathy for gary and to show it i will include that in my next poem.
