Like who does he think he is talking to Gary like that?? Especially when HE was the one who started the banter!! Gary just joined in!

When someone is talking to you, it is polite to look at them. It is not polite to look around to see who else is watching to make you feel better about yourself..

James and Lesley were having a bit of fun.. not a single homosexual innuendo in it.. and Busey butted in where he wasn't needed.. He's a confrontational arrogant man and other housemates have said how they feel intimidated by him.

Can I correct you please ? ALL the hm8s have said they feel intimidated or scared by him

[flamingGalah!]

I was totally on Gary's side... James is an odious, argumentative, attention seeker...It was ok for him to joke about & pretend to be gay, but then for Gary to make a jokey comment was wrong?! Not being funny but I assumed James was gay anyway, not sure why he got so het up about someone jokingly assuming he was either, me thinks he doth protest too much...

[FlippingEck]

He walked in on a joke, no one mentioned gay apart from Busey. He had no clue what the joke was.. and neither it seems does the majority of the people on this forum. James was making reference to going to a doctors for a rectal examination..Busey ASSUMED he was making a homosexual reference, purely based on Lesley's sexuality.

James did not have any problem with the assumption of his sexuality, the problem arose because of Busey's arrogance. He is a rude arrogant man, and he should not be in BB.

James is trying to take over in there he's a nasty piece of work.

[FlippingEck]

Take over what? that's so funny.

[poppsywoppsy]

I am on Gary's side here, even BB has now warned James over his intolerance.

Gary is what he is, old school actor, damaged and out of his comfort zone.

Jordan is a dancer, sacked for his argumentative behaviour, so it is a recognised fact that he is volatile.

He is in no position to educate anyone, he needs to look at his own intolerance before pointing the finger.

David has little else to offer but his body building and personality seems to be totally lacking by his childish laughing at others expense, there is nothing else interesting but his torso.

I have laughed with Gary far more than at James, David, Ricci and Audley, to me that is more appealing than ego ridden fools.

Gary is what he is, old school actor, damaged and out of his comfort zone. Damaged? He shouldn't be in the show reaping the cash if he cannot handle being in a social experiment.. basically if he cannot handle being a lab rat for 4 weeks.. leave the cash and go home

Jordan is a dancer, sacked for his argumentative behaviour, so it is a recognised fact that he is volatile. Why do you think he was asked on BB???????

He is in no position to educate anyone, he needs to look at his own intolerance before pointing the finger. He's clearly better in this kind of situation than Busey is. Busey is rude and obnoxious and thinks the world revolves around him. NEWSFLASH It doesn't/

David has little else to offer but his body building and personality seems to be totally lacking by his childish laughing at others expense, there is nothing else interesting but his torso. A little judgemental of you considering his limited airtime..

I have laughed with Gary far more than at James, David, Ricci and Audley, to me that is more appealing than ego ridden fools. Notice how you put WITH Gary, but AT the others. hmmmm.

You can Chuff.. I apologise. (But I don't think James/David/Audley are intimidated by him to be honest )

I suspect everyone feels Gary is like a ticking time bomb..........

I felt sorry for Gary and felt like it was just the excuse james was looking for to jump all over him.

Making cracks about a person's age and mental health and stereotyping them accordingly lacks insight. Worse than an 'ignorant old fool' is an ignorant young fool.

He wasn't making cracks about Gary's age. Read it again..

Ignorance is ignorance, age is irrelevant. Gary Busey is a ridiculously rude ignorant arrogant man.. his age really is irrelevant. There's NO excuse for homophobia. NONE. EVER.

Does that not depend on your definition of homophobia.

To many Gary was joining in on what he saw as a joke. He was then jumped on by an 'over-senstive' James who lacked any such sensitivity when making unkind comments about Gary's hearing probems and cracking jokes about hitting 70 year-olds. Where was the sensitivity and consieration when joking and taking the piss out of an old man when encouraging someone to jump into bed with him when he was sleeping?

It seems in James's book, what is good for the goose is not good for the gander. He can dish it out, but can't take - grade A hypocrite.

it.

It wasn't even a joke about being gay... BUSEY assumed it was about being gay based on Leslie's sexuality. Arrogant little man.
