I quite liked him at first but now hes just aggressive, patronising, slates everyone elses acts and gets ridiculously defensive about any criticism the other judges give his.

Yeah, pretty much. Maybe his ego overrides his common sense?

All of the new judges are incredibly crap and annoying.

I do wonder if he even realises how much of a tit he is coming across as?

I think he is a bit lost in the world of media Luvviedom nowadays.

I just don't like his double standards.

I haven't been able to stand him for a couple of weeks now, whenever he speaks I just end up hurling abuse at the TV.

Gary is such a hypocrite. He is getting worse as the show goes on. I have now lost any respect I had for him.

I think it was a mistake for him going on this show : he comes across as a bore, a fake and a spoofer.

This. Pretty much agree with all you said I liked him at first too in the auditions especially but now he's really annoying, I can't stand him and I get the impression even he doesnt believe the crap he's saying. Yesterday he contracted himself within 5 minutes, saying it wasnt all about song choice with Craig and it wasnt important, but saying the opposite to Janet.
Janet's song suited her well though

His backing of Frankie started my dislike of him. I didn't really have a opinion on Gary before he took the job.

Agree, I really went off him when he started pushing Frankie on us.

He's too biased towards his own acts and very tactical aswell! He needs to watch himself back and see what a fool he is maing himself look on national TV!

Thankfully he won't be back next year..he decided to spend more time with the family

What do you mean 'starting'?

LOL same here, anyone sitting with me has to hear me rant about him

Gary is worse than Simon for double standards. Criag is so dull and Marcus i a 50s backing singer now and Gary has ruined them both. He cannot take any criticism at all.

louis and tulisa are good, the other two.....shite

Yes.....so true.

... beat me to it!!
