3.31pm: Gary commented to Leslie about his task performance. To say Leslie has not taken it well might be an understatement
3.49pm: Leslie and Gary have fallen out. Leslie did not take Gary's critique of his task performance too well.
3.54pm: James is explaining to Gary that Leslie might not appreciate criticism. Leslie has gone for a dip in the pool
James probably telling him how it's done 'in this country' even though they are both American. Gary seems to be managing to irritate most housemates at some level and Leslie's patience is running thin.

I'm not sure he means any harm with the things he says though, he just likes to be controversial.
4.44pm: Gary and Leslie have hugged it out. James has decided it might be time for a dance class.
Ahhh good. I can't have my two favourites falling out. This is new territory for me
All is well with the world again ....
Aside from the task stuff (it's very typical of Gary to try and find a scapegoat and dump blame on them--go back and watch the US Celebrity Apprentices with him if you doubt that), Gary is also very religious, and underneath a lot of this may be some very real homophobia.
Or on the other hand it may be that since he has brain damage he says what he thinks without any filters. If Garry were an attractive female housemate (who had her mates around her of course) saying 'what she thought' of someone's performance, she would just be.. what's the phrase again? ...oh yea...'saying it how it is'.
At least Garry doesn't gossip about the other housemates behind their back neither does he seem to judge people, as Leslie does about him I'm sad to say.. Garry is like a child he just lives in the moment.
From what I saw in the video, James was comforting Leslie and trying to get him to calm down (and after Leslie stormed off) he tried to reassure Gary that a lot of it could be a misunderstanding on account of Leslie being overtired. Did you see a different clip?
Leslie Vs Gary this Friday
So far most of the other housemates have said negative things about Gary, so either everyone of them is wrong or we aren't seeing exactly what it is that Gary is doing that is annoying the others.
I know and understand that his previous head injury will impact on his behaviour and it is quite common for head injury patients to become more impulsive and to lose the ability to filter what they say/do and no matter how much those on the outside may feel sympathy for the person we can't ignore the effect this behaviour has on others.
It's one thing living in the moment but if doing that has a negative effect on others then the behaviour is just as wrong as someone bitching.
There'll be at least one more. Channel 5 don't do head-to-heads.

Guessing the money here is better, But don't think the guy realises what the show is about.
James is the only one I don't like - in his words "prick"
Yes but, very disappointed still at the ending of that clip. Why Leslie felt the need to go back in the bedroom and recount it all for the wolf pack. And let them go on and on about how Leslie was the "bigger man" for apologizing. When Leslie conveniently left out Gary's having apologized to him almost before he even got out what he was apologizing over. And all of them yapping on in the background (and him not doing anything to dissuade them) about how wonderful Leslie was and how evil Gary still is ... not very nice, Leslie.
No Leslie he has achieved and done more than you ever will.
