Chance | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:03 pm     I really thought Gerry didn't come off badly in his speech. The "other" 6 really exaggerated it. He never accused them of anything. Josh'd diary session afterwards and his talking to camera shows what a weasel Josh is. |
Foodbunny | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:06 pm     The way they've chosen to spaz out, especially Josh, really says more about them than it does about Gerry. Sure, it was over the top but the feeling was genuine even if it was misplaced. They took his introspection as a slam on them, which I think means that they need to examine their own motives more carefully. There's no reason for them to take it as an insult to them unless some part of them is scared that they did the same thing he feels he did. |
Sheila494 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:07 pm     gerry did the right thing..hes a good man..i just hope it doesnt hurt him in the end. |
Kat | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:07 pm     I saw the same speech and I feel so differently. He put Lori and Marcellas on the spot and they clearly were not expecting it. i thought his speech was self serving and pompous. If I was in that room I think I would want to vote him out too. |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:08 pm     I agree. Josh and the others blew it way out of proportion. The whole thing makes me angry. |
Missy2 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:08 pm     I thought so too Kat. It really bothered me! |
Missy2 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:10 pm     BUT I'm happy that there are people who feel differently than I do because even though I think Gerry is a dramaqueen and he annoyed I still like him. |
Keiffer | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:11 pm     First did it feel to anyone else that that meeting was severly edited? Another good reason why we on the live feeds should get to see everything that happens. As for what Gerry actually said I believe that it was the wrong place and wrong time. If you look at his actions as a whole you can see that it was all strategy. Talking to Josh he is mister I have Jewish friends, when around Marcellas he is mister I have gay friends, and with Daniel he is Mister "I'll pull the race card for you". He used the race issue to insure that Daniel would not be nominated thing that Lisa could not put up Daniel if he said the word race. Then that would increase the chances that Lisa might put Josh up. IT was very faulty thinking, and I am not convinced with his sincerity. |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:14 pm     It really doesn't matter what reason Gerry gave his speech for. There is no way he is going to get through to the sorriest bunch of air heads I have ever seen. They make Chilltown look like a bunch of choirboys. This show is more like soft porn than a reality game show. Having said that, god I love it. |
John32070 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:26 pm     I think Gerry, like Kent last season, is the hero of the house. Even Lisa, who at first was thinking of putting up Josh is now blinded to what he's doing and blaming Gerry for screwing things up. Josh is a bad combination of Mike, Will, and Shannon from last season all roled into one along with BB1's Eddie's NYC tough attitude. Personally, I think Josh will eventually (and hopefully quickly) implode and royally screw himself. Here's hoping Gerry wins HOH and Marcelles wins the veto challenge. If this happens, I hope it's Josh and Lisa up next week. Gerry needs to stay. |

Maris | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:27 pm     The speech sounded as phoney as a two dollar bill. It bothered me and I will not be surprised to see that Gerry ends up with Josh in popularity. The speech only supported my thinking about him. |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:27 pm     LOL Ll! I think the speech was not appropriate for those folks. I think it is great the Gerry has his convictions and has a heart, but I think the speech (even though he meant it to affect the weasel group) turned out to only be self serving. He seems like he has the best of intentions but sometimes he is over the top. And did I mention I cannot fathom the thought of being alone in a room with Josh for more 5 minutes before slashing my own throat to end the misery  |

Cliotheleo | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:32 pm     Yeah Keiffer, I think Gerry was having visions of him being the Johnny Cochran of the BB house with that "Race card" thing to Danielle. I bet he REALLY tried hard to figure out some way to work in "if it doesn't fit, you must acquit" and "Marcellus," into the same sentence. Gerry is a nice enough guy, but he needs to take it down a notch or two if he wants to stay in the house. So does Josh for that matter. See, that's why they don't let reality TV fans actually PARTICPATE on these shows anymore. We all know now that in order to stay in the game you have to fly under the radar. We'd all just sit around the house smiling at one another and saying nothing more than "please" and "thank you." It would be SOOOO boring. |
Lurknomore | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:33 pm     It was a tad pompous but no where near as bad as I expected from the feeds. And given how they all planned to give Lori the boot anyways I can't see why they all have their shorts in a knot against Gerry now for this. Other than they need a reason to dislike him so they can boot him and feel justified. |
Jesse | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:34 pm     After only one week as a hamster, Gerry's entire moral, spiritual and political "meaning of life" has culminated in his "saving Marcellas" . . . will he be considered for the Nobel? |
Kapow | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:41 pm     Agreed, Lurk. Lori is still going, but now Gerry is the bad guy. All those KKK comments from the feeds seem outlandish (if we saw the whole speech). Don't get me wrong - I dislike Gerry for a multitude of other reasons (condescending, acts like Dad, tries to "mentor" everyone), but the speech was not the sole reason to single him out. The tears did seem phony to me, but.... it's a game. The rest of the houseguests ARE nitwits.... all by themselves! |
Puckerbutt | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:42 pm     I'm not sure that "speech" is the correct word for Gerry's rambling at the meeting. What does does Webster's Dictionary call a series of over-the-top clichés woven together to form one incoherent thought? |
Jesse | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:44 pm     Puckerbutt . . . the answer is "drivel" |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:44 pm     Just looked it up.... it's called "Gerryisms." |
Jbljams | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:45 pm     I see Jerry very much the player, a poor one at that. I really wanted to root for the fat man amongst all the hard bodies but I’m getting a very sleazy vibe from him. Does anyone actually know if his~black, gay, socially sensitive~ persona is true? I’m doubtful. I think everything he says is motivated to have him win the prize money (which of course is the idea). He’s sleazy because Jerry is the one that brought up the race and gay card…whatever happened to judging a man on his character? I’m just not buying Jerry as a good guy. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:46 pm     Gerry should have saved his speeches and introspection (and self congratulation for the diary room. |
Halfunit | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:56 pm     <scratching head> Umm... Maris.... I actually have some old two dollar bills...

Car54 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 08:02 pm     I am really on the fence with Gerry... I think he may have really believed all the stuff he said, but I have a feeling he enjoys being the center of attention, so the speech put him there. He didn't seem to be particularly fazed by the handwashing episode, he clearly loved running the Veto meeting, I think he likes mixing things up... Where I am still undecided is whether he is concious of this. I know people who thrive on being in the middle of "stuff"... and they are totally unaware of it. Then there at the Joshes..who love to mess with people and know they are doing it! Not sure how Gerry is yet. |
