Read my post again, hun, I made a reference to the fact that the tv licence governs the reception of what we all regard as a tv service into our homes. Ive tried telling them I don't watch BBC but it don't work, lol.

What really pisses me off is the people who complain are "fans of the show".

Believe it or not, members of the public and fans alike, do actually have a right to complain if they feel a person is being treated unfairly, even if you think its wrong. Its a security measure made available to everyone because not everyone likes to see someone treated like a lab rat for the pleasure and justification of someone else's entertainment.

Gary is an older member of the cast and obviously has some mental issues. It isn't fair of BB to hang him out to dry or even promote scenarios that make him feel uncomfortable.

BB isn't about bullying or making HM's feel ostracised, it should be about the tasks, the living together environment and the occasional bitch session. We all don't need to see crap and debauchery 24/7 to feed the blood lust of some of the not so morally educated viewers.

Gary is well capable of holding his own, but idiots like James and now that little has been Leslie are OTT in their rudeness towards him. If BB wont intervene, then Ofcom is the only other option, even if you feel that it isn't correct or not.

If they don't want to see people being treated like lab rates they shouldn't watch a show where the basic concept is to lock people away and monitor them like lab rats in a "social experiment".

BB hasn't hung him out to dry they have closely monitored his behaviour and also asked James to make sure everyones aware that Gary has hearing difficulties and to be understanding of this. They haven't set a task or thrown in a twist to make him an outcast the housemates are behaving on their own accord and have not been influenced by producers in any way.

I find it a bit rich you calling viewers morally corrupt and saying you don't like bullying and in the same post calling Leslie a "little has been".

BB viewers are hypocrites pure and simple.

Can I also just add Gary personally said in the diary room that this was the best experience of his life!

Wow, sweeping statement from someone who insults FM's on a daily basis. Please try to stick to insulting the HM's, its not that clever to call all of us hypocrites.

Oh god here we go

"Please stick to insulting the housemates" lol yes because that's not morally corrupt at all.

[Vanessa]

There's no doubt that Gary is being isolated there. That lot have no respect for older people and it make me mad. I hope one of the younger ones goes first.

[jegmeister]

It's good to know a large number of the British public have empathy and understanding for an old man with a serious head injury and struggling with deafness. It would be nice to think that anyone would have compassion for someone in that situation.

Unfortunately, the response from some people on here has been quite the opposite and I have found it quite shocking. Even more incredible to say "well don't watch it if you don't like it". Colossal arrogance. I like this show and I have every right to complain when something I don't like happens on it - as much right as anyone else in fact.

As for the argument that he shouldn't be on the show in the first place, that is not the point. He IS on it - so that is the end of it. And if he is in there, any reasonable needs he has to help with his various conditions should be met. It really does make me quite angry to see the way this man is being treated and the attitude of some people towards him.

He doesn't take things personally and is very chilled out.

These viewers should take a leaf out of his book.

I'm hoping he will get cheered by the crowd. Would love to see the housemates reaction.

No doubt he will.

You are correct there Vanessa, he has a very forgiving heart but he also works out his own part in a discussion. I love his spiritual side, the only disadvantage he has is his hearing. The others need to stop thinking of him in terms of a freak.

[Vanessa]

Just watch the show tonight then tell me it's not bullying. The way that lot treat Gary is a disgrace. They have no respect for him.

[Pincho Paxton]

There is a big chance that a fight will kick off this series. So BB have to prevent that. If it appears that they aren't preventing it then people will step in to talk to Ofcom.

Don't worry. Gary is a black belt. He can handle himself. I bet the housemates have no idea.

You seriously think he would be allowed to use his "skills"

You seriously think that would be acceptable behaviour?
Oh how I laugh

200 people

Best cancel the show now

[Scream]

I haven't read the posts in this thread so not sure if this has already been said but I think he's isolating himself. Who wants to be around someone who within a second can snap and keep telling people to shh when they're speaking. it would be irritating. we know he's got some problems but think about being in the housemates position 24/7...would be hard to have a conversation with.

People need to get a grip fgs.

[Shaun]

i'm starting to think it's just the people who work at OFCOM filing them themselves so they have work tbh

[the truth]

he is being bullied but because hes a man and an american man, its seen as fair game
this is the most sexist man hating show in tv history
imagine any man had cut up womens clothing the way frenchy did to leslie? imagine a man behaved like bianca demanding they get shagged on the floor and that he wanted to suck a womans vagina within 90 minutes of being on the show or hit a housemate in the face the way denise welch did to michael madsen or the way she pulled down a womans pyjamas to try expose her vagina? its nonsense. and the longer it goes on the worse it gets, thats why i keep banging on about it. frenchy should be booted out immediately when she starts damagig other peoples property
