Jokes aside, I think David maybe mentally retarded. He comes across as one those curious children and he also seems to speak like a child when it comes to his grammar and how he sounds.

Sophie seems a little like that too, Charlie on the other hand is just thick.

[WAYNEEBRUM]

hes just really thick.

[eggdavid]

of course david's retarded, haven't you seen lisa changing his nappy before bedtime?

good on her for helping him out -- even though she complains sometimes that "it counts as work and i wont get me dole"

[Twiggy]

And???

[GypsyGoth]

David is not retarded.

His interests are not in acedemic areas.

He seems like an average guy to me.

please dont say you think he has average intelligence??

[Doom]

He's just a bit of a dough-ball - a harmless dough-ball tho.

He deserves to win more than some do in the house tho just 'cause he seems quite genuine and aint a schemer.

[kellybsblover]

I said this last week. He is my third favorite in the house. I think he's really sweet, sensible, can be entertaining, seems to genuinly like the experience he's having in the house... I don't think he is fully mentally retarded but he is slower than what would be considered average.

[alchemists1]

I'm sure he's had a ride on the yellow bus before but who cares the rest are'nt what you'd class as bright either.

[King Gizzard]

I'm retarded

Have said the same before about Sophie

The lift definately doesn't go right to the top for either of them

Being a voluntary worker with children with learning difficulties and mental health problems, David is not 'retarded' as you so sensitively put it, but of average inteligence.

he is not average intelligence he is sub average.

[Linto99]

Intelligence is not just measured on an academic level. David is very emotionally intelligent and seems to have a good insight into what's going on round about him. Whereas Bea who is supposedly ' intelligent' with her pyschology degree, has none of David's qualities. OK David may not have got A's at school, but I don't think he is ' Retarded'

[luminoussun]

He is not fully retarded..BUT he is in training

Psychology degrees are to intelligence as Torquay are to football

[ziltan]

something is not right, maybe he just likes to screamtalk and screamlaugh ey?

[hotspur95]

Excuse me, but I think the politicaly correct term is 'mong'

Sophie is still in the lift not sure which button to press, and with her shallow smile wondering if she should get bigger breasts
Whereas David is the liftman but no-one can understand what hes saying!
Oh and Bea is fake crying 'cos no-one asked her which floor she wanted!!!

Nobody had defined the word"retarded" because there is no one on here qualified to do so. Despite the endless threads full of armchair psychologists banging on with their psychobabble... please, for the love of God, don't get them started.

dont call people ******* you hater.
