Scorpiomoon | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 12:49 am     I'm sitting here watching Cam 4. Almost everyone is in the livingroom saying scathing things about Gerry. You can hear their voices but the cam is on Gerry who is in his bed and seems ot be listening to it all. I don't know what he said during the veto decision, but man, these people are being vicious. It is painful to sit here watching Gerry listening to them. |
Ryanc2002 | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 12:53 am     I'm glad Roddy put a stop to it. |
Scorpiomoon | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 12:54 am     I know! They really went too far, but at least Roddy had enough integrity to put a stop to it. Ryan, do you know what was said during the veto thing? |
Oregonfire | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 12:56 am     What did they say? I missed it. I *never* seem to catch the HGs talking about each other! I do feel sorry for him. He's like a big fish out of water. And he doesn't seem malicious like Kent did last year. (I'm sorry, I know Kent comes here, but he always struck me as vindictive.) |
Ryanc2002 | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 12:57 am     Not exactly. According to SP he confessed that race and prejudice influenced him on Marcelias early on, then turned around and implied the original 6 did the same thing. According to MARCELLIUS (that's big, huh?) Gerry was confessing his own faults, not accusing anyone else. |
Muse | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 12:59 am     That's it. I'm definitely giving up the live feeds when my free trial is over. These people are just *nasty*. It would be fine if there were less of them (kind of like Chilltown, especially since Justin was barely there), and I had confidence that they would eventually all get evicted. But there's too many of them. And they monopolize so many of the conversations. Plus they're not even that interesting...just constantly mean-spirited. I'm disappointed with Shapiro's casting this year. Editing to say that I'm looking back and thinking that Booger and Shannon would be more likable than a few of these contestants. lol |
Scorpiomoon | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 01:00 am     They were just saying foul things about Gerry being a racist--comparing him to a Nazi--and just being really petty and insulting. |
Scorpiomoon | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 01:01 am     Ryan: Are you serious? Man, judging from the way they are going on and on about what Gerry said, you'd think Gerry confessed to being part of the KKK or something. |
Scorpiomoon | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 01:02 am     Muse: You have a point. These people are way more cut-throat than any other BB hgs were. I'd say keep the live feeds so you can watch them turn on each other. It's going to happen eventually. |
Ryanc2002 | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 01:03 am     I don't think Roddy is going to be part of the six for long, he seems to be wavering, talkin about how Gerry screwed up but he's not a Nazi (not exact wording) I really don't like Eric. |
Cameltoes | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 01:04 am     The Nazi comment was it for me. I can't take these people for much longer. |
Cliotheleo | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 01:08 am     Yeah, and the way that Roddy (whomever he is) and Eric have been talking about how Gerry needs to apologize to them. Pa-leeeeze! |
Muse | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 01:09 am     Hmm. Perhaps, Scorpiomoon. I'm thinking I might just subscribe again for the last month. Roddy is the best of the bunch, IMO. That's not saying a whole lot (he *does* say some mean things himself, actually), but he does seem to have a conscience. I think he's really wrapped up in playing the game, though, so I don't know how often he'll act on it. |
Squidward | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 01:28 am     All this nastiness and drama, and we're not even into this game for a week yet! Btw, when did they go into the house? I thought these people were better than the BB2 bunch, but not anymore. I had at least Kent and Bunky to root for last year. |
Ryanc2002 | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 01:32 am     Well, it's been real, it's been fun, maybe next time it'll be real fun. I'm off to bed. |
Whit4you | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 01:36 am     LOL Ya I used to LOVE the late night Kent / Bunky chats..those two should start a show - where all they do is hit the sack and chat ... I used to sit here alone... at 2 AM laughing till my tummy hurt listening to those two banter.. |
Crazykids | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 08:05 am     Oh...I really feel bad for Gerry too. No one likes to sit there and overhear the others talking nasty about them!! And by the way it sound purposely talking loud so that he could hear. If he was acting like people didn't like him yesteday...I wonder how he'll act today after hearing them all talk crap about him... That probably changed everything...he probably just wants to get out of there quick! even if he wasn't my favortte ...no one desrves that....I know I know...it's part of the game, but STILL! |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 08:22 am     Crazykids.. being deceitful is part of the game..backstabbing is part of the game.. being malicous and cruel is NOT part of the game! |
Faerygdds | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 08:33 am     I think Shapiro and comapny have forgotten that violence comes in many forms. It doesn't take a knife to cut you know! I was not awake when they were doing this, but from the looks of who has posted.. I believe it. Funny thing is that Lori nailed it yesterday... no one can make you feel guilty.. only you can make yourself feel guilty. She is right on.... do you think they would be so upset if there wasn't just a tinge of truth in Gerry's words??? Heck no! Hypocrites... It's like my Mother... "I'm not homophobic, I don't mind gay people... I just wish they would have stayed in the closet" (Meanwhile I was sitting across the table looking COMPLETELY MORTIFIED.. my reply... "Are you SURE there wasn't a baby switch at the hospital?" She got the point!  |
Keiffer | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 09:09 am     You guys there are two thingss at work here. Number one is once you bring up a hot button issue like racism or any ism then people are going to explode. The way the six took gerry's comments during the veto meeting was that he implied that Marcellas was in part put up for nommination because he was black. Even Roddy (who seems very level headed) was concerned because he knows that if one person in a group says they think another way then it can appear that the rest of the group thought the same way. Just like at Augusta National, for years they didn't allow black members, do you think every member there thought that was good polocy? Gerry should have been very careful to point out that he didn't think racism was why Lisa nomminated Marcellas, even if he wanted to say part of his reason was. Also Gerry used racism in his reasoning hoping that if he did Lisa would not be able to put up Daniel in Marvellas' place. It was a well thought out plan by him to use the "race card" hoping that it would increase the chances that Lisa would put Josh up instead. Also these people are upset because Gerry did give his word that he would vote Marcellas out the first week, and he went back on it. Which in the game is his right, but he is just the first one to break his word. Other will over time. Let's remember Gerry ADMITTED that racism clouded his judgement. I didn't hear the nazi remark, but I can assure you that a person admitting to racism on national TV opens himself up to be called that or worse. Now they are all over reacting to try and make sure that they are not cast in the racism view in front of AMerica. |
Faerygdds | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 10:11 am     Problem is that the more they yell about it.. the more *I* think that there must be some truth to the intimation that he IS racist (he being Josh). You don't get that upset about someing over and over again unless it's playing on your subconscious... that's simple psychology! Otherwise you go to Marc and say, "I hope you know he wasn't speaking for all of us..." and be DONE with it! |
Maris | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 10:17 am     I love Marcellas he is one of my favorite players but did anyone on this board actually hear Josh make the blackface comment or read it on the feeds? I know I was watching the feeds pretty continuously that day and I didnt catch it. I did hear Marcellas tell Lori about it and also go into the bedroom later in the day and tell Chiara, Roddy and Tonya. I never did hear Josh say it. I dont like Josh but does anyone think Marcellas may have made it up as a ploy to get rid of Josh. |
Ryanc2002 | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 10:20 am     From what I hear they weren't alone Maris, so he couldn't have made it up. It was a group that he was telling the joke to, but his eyes were pointed towards Marc He shouldn't have made the joke at all to begin with, but to do it with Marc or Danni present, pretty dumb. |
Keiffer | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 10:21 am     Maris, I watch the feeds a great dal, but I miss things because the way they switch around what is on each feed so much. The one thing that interests me is that I ahve not hear the peron that Josh was talking to when he said the blackface comment come forth and talk about it. Was Josh talking to himself? Was he telling a joke? What context was the comment made? |
Floresmama | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 10:22 am     Well I don't necessarily think that Josh is a full on racist he did make the black faced comment which is a racist remark by anyones standards. If you are worried about being labeled a racist then the best plan would be not to make racist comments. Unfortunately Josh says alot of stuff that is way out of line. But I will have to say there are certainly a lot less Gay bashing going on this year than there was last year. Between Kent & Hardy, Bunky was the butt of alot of jokes. |
