Soooo - a switch in editing - who'd have thunk it?

So there has been criticism of Gary being ostracised and left out and tonight we see him being included. Do you think this is a new thing or have they been spinning a 'poor Gary' story?

it's a new thing, they have a brain damage charity after them now..
Most of them seemed to be spending time with him and he seemed included in most of the goings on.
I can't imagine that it's anything new - why has it been depicted so negatively?
Only one surely .....Stephanie.
It shows nothing of the sort.
Was that truly representative though?
It was immediately after face to face nominations and Stephanie/James conversation re Audley. There was a lot of tension in the house - not really a 'typical' evening I'd have thought.
We saw new vid of that today.
It looks like BB has chosen to show Audley (who has always been ok with Gary) and now George (one of the crass sniggerers) actually behaving decently with Gary.
James was indirectly warned first, even those who weren't warned are going to curb their behaviour once they realised others were warned.
James was told off as well last week
You keep telling yourself that Penny!
I will. I'm quite able to recognise how BB likes to create heroes/villains/victims - how they build them up and knock them down.
I think after seeing the interaction on tonights HL show this has always been the case but the storyline has been 'victim'.
What have the HM's been reading the papers or have BB decided to show what's really going on and that he's not been as ostracised as they were 'creating'?
That is your interpretation.
BB are not backwards in coming forwards with the warnings as we saw in the case of Audley. If they'd felt it necessary to warn James I'm sure they would have.
So he wasn't being included with everyone else tonight and that was what they chose to show?
Yes, I have a notion they've had a little talking to about their treatment of Gary. About time too.
It made far better viewing seeing him included a bit more tonight. Then blow me, the others kick off between themselves LOL!
Just can't behave themselves can they
I do agree Penny that BB these days seems to like to craft a fairly straight forward polarised narrative. I am also conscious that in previous shows the narrative seemingly will run one way for a bit and then switch around.
I can't say I have noticed the tide turn in tonight's show but if I am really honest I struggled to pay attention tonight. My mind started to wander during the dummy task and even though I watched again on plus 1, determined to pay attention, I am afraid I zoned out again.
Nope. As one mouth closes another mouth opens LOL!
