Why is Gerry everyone's punching bag?
Classycassfan | Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 11:35 pm     ok let me add that to my list of things never to do .... Tell someone that you also were the same as they are choosing to be... Gosh it was totally an accident that Gerry was a virgin when he got married. He didn't really want to be he just forget to get a piece before he got married. D**M the poor guy can't even tell another person he has something in common with them with out being JUDGED for sharing an experience |
Ryanc2002 | Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 11:36 pm     They told her she was safe against Marcellius, not Amy. And she screwed herself by going nuts! Trash talking? Eh...I'll give you that. Alliances with everyone and their dog (Bucky). That's the game. As for their different alliances, that's also the game. |
Classycassfan | Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 11:42 pm     They told her she was safe against Marcellius, not Amy. I guess the old saying that you should not promise eggs before the chicken lays them doesn't apply. Sorry I don't remember the group saying she was only safe against Marcellius. I just remember Lori saying she was safe. Then again I realize that they didn't know about the Veto. But hey when you do a show like BB don't expect the game to stay the same as it was last year. Didn't anyone ever learn the saying don't make promises when you arn't sure of all the rules? |
Scorpiomoon | Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 11:43 pm     Maris: Your post above was undoubtedly the best thing I have read on this board yet. Thank you. |
Sqeamtvfan | Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 11:44 pm     Class - It's his manner of telling it that is off-putting. He only told the story to make himself look good. I really don't think he told that on himself to communicate with or comfort Jason - he did it for himself. That is a characteristic he has that I really don't like. He told about the 3 Black people in his family for the same reason - somehow, because a family member married and had babies with a Black person, that made Gerry a better, more race-tolerant person. Self-serving. |
Ryanc2002 | Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 11:47 pm     Ok, let me clarify. They told her she was safe. They told her that when Marcellus was up. Now Amy's up, and Lori's cracked and she was making everyone miserable. As for the Veto thing, they were playing by last years rules. |
Ryanc2002 | Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 11:50 pm     New revilation: Gerry told Danielle "they put Marcellus up because he's black and gay and I can't stand for it." "They" not "I" |
Classycassfan | Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 11:54 pm     Sorry Sqeam didn't realize you knew Gerry on such a personal level that you could share his motives for what he has said. I don't know his motives all that well so I just have to take what he says as what he means. Which leaves me at the disadvantage of not being judge or jury. But then again maybe I should re read the live feed to see if he explains his motives I dont seem to recall him explaining his motives for telling how his family is made up or what his experences are. I took them as his sharing why he is the way he is and not being a perfect person. HMMMM maybe that is why I didn't make the final cut of house guests. I forgot to tell them I was perfect. lmao |
Classycassfan | Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 11:57 pm     lol ok Ryan sorry as your Vice I should not bait you. lol Well anyway I could sit here all nite and defend Gerry but dang I gotta sleep!!!! Nite all thanks for the great verbal reparta |
Ryanc2002 | Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 11:58 pm     Classy - You don't have to know someone personally to know their motives. It's just reading between the lines. IMO You have to be able to do that to win Big Brother, you can take things at face value, but you must also acknowledge that alterior motives may exist, and maybe even figure out what those motives could be. |
Abbynormal | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 01:32 am     I'll be the first to admit that Gerry gets on my nerves, alot. But I was watching him in the kitchen, alone, eating a corndog and playing solitaire, and I just felt so sorry for him. This man has a family. People who love him and hold him very dear. I don't know, it just made me feel so sad for him. |
Marcellasfan | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 01:53 am     It's the 'Lord of the Flies' syndrome |
Oregonfire | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 03:11 am     I actually want him to be the next to go. The man has no chance, and the dynamics are not going to change in his favor. Luckily, he seems to be protected by a veneer of cluelessness about his situation. I haven't seen him look really upset once. |
Oregonfire | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 03:16 am     Hmm...didn't bump up for some reason. I have SUCH insomnia this evening, can't sleep at all! |
Gouraphik | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 10:14 am     I understand that some people may despise Gerry for a ton of valid reasons, but to say that Marcellas should nom him is just a case of letting your emotions cloud your strategy. It would be suicide to eliminate Gerry. Right now, the 6-pack is still a 6-pack, and having Josh around would ensure Marc's demise. At the very least, he'll make Marc's life a living hell for the remainder of their time in the house. Let Gerry live, eliminate either Josh (the budding dictator) or Roddy (the under-the-radar chameleon), and Marc could well make it past the halfway point. Any other combination (Josh vs. Gerry, Josh vs. a 6-pack girl, Josh vs. Eric, or Josh vs. Jason/Danielle...I doubt he'd nom Amy or two non-6-packers) would be shortsighted and foolish. I sincerely hope that Marc doesn't even contemplate using Josh as a "bad guy" for him to look good beside. It's not worth the risk. Let Gerry look like a two-faced, histrionic, self-serving guilty liberal if he so desires, and use him as the patsy. Gerry is a useful tool right now. Don't let emotions cloud your strategic outlook, people! |
Montybooth | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 10:41 am     Well, I thought he did a fair bit of lying, trying to point the racist homophobe finger at the entire group, not just himself, before switching it and going into the melodrama that it was just him... Plus, I dont trust anyone who walks around wearing a yin/yang Buddhist necklace, but also reads the Bible, and also says he’s doing Machiavellian strategy... No wonder he feels his ‘soul is conflicted’ or whatever, so are his beliefs.... The man smacks of not being genuine, trying to sell himself 9or some idea of himself) to everyone. |
Wink | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 03:02 pm     "Why is Gerry everyones punching bag?" Perhaps it's because the high opinion he seems to hold of himself, and his need to be the "wise seer" of this group, is not an opinion shared by many on this board. |
Oregonfire | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 03:42 pm     Apparently, according to the LFs, Josh went off on him about the whole thing, saying that when he gets out no parents are going to allow their children to take his classes. Apparently Gerry just got up and said "Thank you" and left the room. I think it's really rude when HGs take it outside the house, like Mike threatening Kent's children last year. That is so uncalled for. Even though Gerry's speech was silly, Josh is really focusing his angst on Gerry. Josh is also not one to talk about how Gerry is going to get treated on the outside--he is in for a big shock himself. |
Hardywins | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 03:44 pm     Gerry was wise enough to see Josh using him to eliminate all the other outsiders, just to be next on Josh's hit list. Gerry knew he had to break out of the six pack to have any hope of lasting past half way. He concocted the race/gay card play to justify and sanctify his breaking his promise to the alliance. He lucked out when Marc won HOH; saved Gerry at least for another week. Gerry will bounce back after pay penance for his transgressions. |
Classycassfan | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 10:09 pm     Seems Gerry has gone from punching bag to Marc inforcer |
Earthmother | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 08:19 am     Josh is the one who told Lori she was safe not the others and he is the one who lied to the 6pack when he voted and now he's afraid they will find out,(smokescreen) so somehow in his warped little mind he has made Gerry out to be the devil because if Gerry hadn't used the veto he wouldn't be in the place he's in, it destroyed his little plan. Josh has used the Jew card for days now, there is a reason he calls Gerry a Nazi and not perhaps another name like the devil. Josh has a frightning personality and I believe if anyone crosses him he won't pull out any stops to destroy them. |
Maris | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 08:24 am     I dont know if this has been answered before. What does Gerry teach? |
Lawyerman | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 02:15 pm     OK, now I'm confused. Marcellas just said to Danielle that Gerry (not Josh) is the anti-Christ. He was also talking sh*t about Gerry with Danielle last night. I watch the feeds all the time, but perhaps I missed something. What has Gerry ever done to Marcellas to make Marcellas hate Gerry so much? |
Maris | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 10:51 pm     Gerry is now kissing up to Tonya and discussing Amy. Tonya raises the issue of Amy stealing Chiaras boyfriend. How wierd was that says Gerry. Gerry also says, I have been telling Amy to keep her mouth shut. Doesnt Gerry realize the only thing keeping him in the house is Amy and Marc? Does he think he is going to get HOH next week? This game is the best, every single person is diabolical. Loyalty does not enter into anyone's vocabulary. |
Snee | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 11:01 pm     oregonfire, i just posted something similar to what you said about 'taking it out of the house'. i think that the lying, backstabbing, and manipulating are fine in this game, but nastiness like what josh has been doing to and saying about gerry is not fine at all. way over the snee-line. |
C1mag | Monday, July 22, 2002 - 12:14 am     Well all I will say is that once Josh is gone the house will not attack Gerry as brutally. They will begin to include him in conversations etc.. Although his toes will be scrutinized I'm sure. The only thing I fear is once Josh is out of the house that Gerry will go back to CONSTANTLY playing the game to the point where he is literally playing everyone. This new anti amy thing with the girls is something he is going to use just in case it is Amy and him up on the block together. I heard him mention the anti amy issue with Marcellus and he suggested Amy would be the next to go because of it and added that at some point they would have to cut amy lose. I saw Marcellus give him a quick look and then changed the subject. It hit me about the same way as Marcellus. That really wasn't the smartest thing to say but thats Gerrys problem. He's playing this game toooooooo much and his approach is way off with these people. He has no clue that even with Josh out of the house he is still the prime target of that group. |
