In the upcoming Episode 5 sneak peak you have Meat going into an utter and complete meltdown over Gary (who ironically made a memorable if not funny quote in a previous episode saying, "I am at risk every time I wake up.") in what it appears to be over the issue of paint. And Mark McGrath had to step in between Meatloaf and Gary before Gary gets another head injury. Lots of expletives from Meatloaf so not exactly sure the real reason of his meltdown but perhaps due to the lack of communication with Gary that he finds so grating.
Now, if you remember from an earlier episode Gary admitted to having a hearing loss and wears a hearing aid upon the advice of Marlee Matlin when his hearing loss was addressed and confronted by her who of all people suggested that he get a hearing aid. Now, I'm wondering whether Gary's hearing loss led to his poor performance as a Project Manager for the Camping World challenge in Episode 3 and by not being able to hear completely what his team mates were saying created communication problems that led to Gary getting bad rating as a Project Manager. His hearing loss is obviously bad when he had to ask up close Star Jones a few times for her to repeat what she said when she said "She's class and graceful" (about Niki Taylor when she was fired in Episode 3). And I'm wondering whether Gary even wore his hearing aid in Episode 4 around the 3:15 mark when he asked Jones to repeat what she said. I've begun to notice how he reacts to people around him in previous episodes and how he seems to think he heard what they said or in this probably doesn't care. This probably explains why Mark McGrath's comment in Episode 4 making the claim that Gary is unable to focus or remember anything. Probably it's because he can't hear much?
So, in reality there are two celebrities with hearing loss on the Celebrity Apprentice show, Marlee Matlin and Gary Busey - who is at risk every time he wakes up or probably more accurately at risk every time he doesn't listen carefully and face the expletive wrath of Meatloaf.
Addendum:
Check out this poll about the $1 million dollars donation to Starkey Hearing Foundation on whether people approve or not the donation for free hearing aids to deserving kids from around the world, I'm sure Marlee Matlin approves.
