I can't be the only one who finds Gary utterly UNBEARABLE?

I find him nothing but rude, frustrating, repulsive and very difficult to watch. I find his popularity absolutely baffling. His support on here is very strong, and even the chav crowd cheer him relentlessly. I can't be the only one who finds him absolutely vile?
Before anyone starts accusing me of being insensitive to his hearing problems and brain damage - don't. My mum is very hard of hearing and I am so patient with her, just like how she is patient with herself when she struggles to here. Gary is not just hard of hearing - he's hard of manners. I've also worked in old people's homes where many residents also have hearing problems and also have difficulty understanding what people are saying because they are slightly mentally challenged. But again, I'm patient with them too.
I could not be patient with Gary. He's nothing but rude, and I feel that many viewers are using his problems to excuse that. Well, I don't think there's any excuse for it. I think he's vile. And I'm so angry that he's probably going to win.

No, you've completely misinterpreted what I'm saying. What I mean is, if Gary's annoyances were purely down to him having disabilities, then I'd be patient and sympathetic. But they're not. He's just a rude person. And many people seem to be letting him get away with it because he has those disabilities.
in all the years of watching BB I have never seen a house mate picked on like they do with him
what does he do smiles right at them and is ultra positive
For me gary is proving the best CBB housemate ever
and my wife thinks he is a decent bloke
I do not get the massive love for a has been supporting actor, who has only been in 3 films most people have heard of. I looked him up today, out of the 140 films he has done, I have heard of 5 and 80% of the others bombed totally.
I am sick of hearing he is 70, deaf and brain damaged, well if he is that bad, he should not of gone on the show!!
GET GARY OUT !!!!
Gary isn't going anywhere
Not quuuiiiite the case
Lol
The winks and smug smiles say it all. Unfortunately this is a mostly unpleasant bunch of housemates but I would have been out of there in week one mostly due to Gary and his bad hygiene awareness.
This!
The guy just wants to be there friends ,but if you get constantly laughed at and humiliated ,would you be the perfect gentleman. He told Dee that he was going to play the non game and vote her ,and she blew her stack and threatened to hit him. But not one of those housemates thought that was rude. Edele got the same amount of votes as Gary and stated she is going to start being a bitch,and has never stopped whining since. Gary sits there week in and week out getting abuse thrown at him and humiliation but takes it on the chin and asks them to explain what he is doing wrong,but they don't . I'm sorry society today has very little time for the Elderly and I find it very disturbing ,and nothing in this show as done anything to convince me otherwise.
Shocking is all I'm prepared to say because I'd be unfairly banned if I said what I really thought !!
Indeed.
And ditto.
This is where I am. And I have to say - criticising other housemates for sneering at him while he is a few feet away, screaming at him, mocking him or making no allowances for his disabilities does not mean I adore him. His treatment is a useful way to gauge other housemates' humanity and tolerance. But that is not the same thing as 'loving' him.
Very well put.
I thought he was appalling in tonight's episode in particular.
Thanks for agreeing
I don't disagree with a lot of what you say but I don't find him unbearable. He gets on my nerves a bit and in the house, while I would be kind and considerate, I'd be wishing him gone so he would stop trying my patience.
So he is irritating but he's not a bad person.
Some of the people taking pot shots at him are horrible.
The defence of Gary on here is also irritating, it's blind and obsessive and it stifles any discussion.
This is one of the sort of comments that should involve a ban. it's just a pointless sneer and has no merit in terms of discussion. It's not funny, it's not insightful, it's not informative , it's just a childish retort when somebody had no valid response to another persons opposing view
