Wow,

You guys are great and have a pulse on what's happening with BB3. Let me give you my quick take on the houseguests via an article I wrote for my site.

O' Gerry, Where Art Thou

I can hear the convicts singing old time gospel in the background. I can see Gerry cutting his shackles and making a break for it. This 51 year old married teacher from California will either get buckshot in the rear end or duck, dance and sprint his way to freedom, financial that is.

He's a big, gregarious, friendly teddy bear of a fellow. I like him. He self admittedly, "does not suffer fools lightly, likes to speak his mind and is opinionated." Uh Oh! I see a storm brewing.

He is, right now, as we speak, in a house in LA with 11 other folks, most of who make his students seem mature. He's watching the group like someone who sees a tornado storming over the horizon, and he's desperately trying to get the cellar doors open. Sorry old fellow, they're locked.

Most viewers are gonna be watching Gerry closely cause most feel he'll be "outa there" in a nanosecond. He is trapped with 11 others who will kill him and gladly eat his liver to win this game. It's gonna be brutal. Let's introduce Gerry to his roommates.

23 Year old Amy says she's funny, beautiful but tends to be spoiled and act like a 5 year old. Wow, I would love to hang out with her. Such modesty.

25 year old Chiara says she has a tough time cheating or lying her way through things. She didn't say she's NOT a liar or cheater, just that she has a tough time with it. Does that mean she needs practice? She'll certainly get it.

30 year old Danielle says don't be fooled by her "good looks", she can get down and dirty, be sly as a snake and fake as her implants. She says everyone in the house is her enemy. Wow, is about all I can say. Danielle is also one of two married people in the house. All others are single or divorced. Hmmm…old Arnold is looking for that sizzle once again. They'll be hooking up within an hour of going into the house. Poor Gerry!

26 year old Eric wears "masks" and acts very strange while sleeping on a regular basis. He describes himself as someone sarcastic who will use everyone's weakness against them. So much for Gerry's weakness for food, it'll be used against him.

24 year old Jason seems pretty well adjusted and gets along with most everyone. How the hell did he get in the house?

28 year old Josh describes himself as intelligent, ruthless and argumentative. He's gotta be a pretty smart guy since it lists his hero as "his cat". He's gonna win by spreading a gastrointestional virus, he says. I'd have this guy over for a sleepover as long as he didn't cook.

26 year old Lisa calls herself the "tastiest" cookie in the house. There's the sweets Gerry, just don't unwrap it or your wife will evict you from her house. Lisa says this is her chance to "play around a bit". Hmm…I may like her.

36 year old Lori wants BB to "show me the $$" and will intimidate the others. Don't bet on it sweetie, you are a shark in a pool of sharks so watch your backside or you'll be chatting with Julie in no time flat.

34 year old Marcellas is a man's man in the literal sense. He's gonna make Bunky look like John Wayne. According to him, he's lazy with a massive ego. He doesn't want to be stereotyped but says "Jude Law" is "fine". Sorry Marcellas old buddy. You stereotyped yourself when you called yourself "stylish, sexy and beautiful". I wish you luck, but ego and laziness isn't exactly the winning formula for Big Brother.

30 year old Roddy is patient and observant. He likes Hockey and says he'll keep his word even if it gets him in trouble. I kinda like this guy. He likes the Beatles, which shows he has good taste. But says he wanted to be on Big Brother because it's not "trashy like those other shows". Hmmm…maybe he should have watched last year's show before applying. Get to know this guy Gerry, he can really be a friend.

35 year old Tonya lives in Las Vegas, is about 100 times divorced and has 37 kids. I didn't think relatives of Krista could apply? This will be the quintessential party girl. She will start trouble, she will hook up, she will be great TV, she'll get naked and use her "sex appeal" with the men. Her words, not mine. She will be the tornado that Gerry will be trying to escape, along with everyone else unless they like the balloons that come with the whirlwind.

The chat rooms are abuzz about how long poor old Gerry will last. Most give him 2 weeks are the most. He's a teacher who doesn't want to do anything that'll be a bad example for his students. Too late! He says he'll use humor as a tool, not a weapon. That's a good strategy and may keep him away from Julie for awhile.

But keep this in mind. He has experience dealing with children. CBS says 12 strangers are going into the house, but guess what? Gerry has seen these high spirited kids for years as a teacher. And, God knows, there are plenty of them in this house. He may just be able to steer himself around the egos and immaturity with grace and humor. If he is able to do that, he stands a chance to scoop up that pile of cash at the end of the rainbow.

If Gerry can find maybe Chiara, Eric, Roddy and Jason as friends and allies, he might do well. They're the most levelheaded and "normal". If he can just shake his head and steer clear of the "freaks" who'll thrill us with sexy absurdity, he may survive.

Okay, so is Gerry destined to get quickly tossed by all of the young, sexy and wild kids looking to have a 3-month frat party? Will the wild ones weary of having this old fart in the way of that party? Don't underestimate the old "fat guy" like they underestimated the old "fat guy" last year. Everyone said that idiot would be out the first week too. Hey, wait a minute, that was ME!

O' Gerry, Where art Thou? You, my friend, art in deep doo-doo. Crushing rocks on a Mississippi prison farm will seem like a day in the park compared with what you'll go through in LA. Just laugh, shake your head and give them all an hour in detention hall.

I'm doing a huge chat with other BB2 houseguests tomorrow at 10pm eastern and I hope to see you all there.

Take care,

Kent
Big Brother 2

Hey Kent!

geez, you're still a BB fan? Seems you have swapped smoking for this dirty little habit?

You seem to have taken Gerry under your wing already. A kindred spirit?

I predict he won't last long. He won't mesh with the other camera hogs.

Anywho....back to the future. Do tell us all the insider info you know about your roomies. Are Will and Shannon together? What's up with Will's hollywood career? So poor little ole Krista's suing CBS...your thoughts? How is Sheryls health? What is Hardy up to (Get out of my post Bunny)?

DO TELL....we peepers need ta know

Eddie..... 'Sherbal' (his nickname here) is Sheryl's son and posts here more often than Kent - you might ask him about his mom :)

Hi Kent btw - you are on your 3rd TVCH account dude - lol (yes we deleted the others after approving this one).

interesting hearing your take on the new hg's kent. i agree that a teacher would have a bad time because of scrutiny of 'the kids' (not to mention 'the PARENTS'!) in our district we have a clause in our contract that talks about 'conduct unbecoming...'.

nice to see you!

Welcome back Kent! I'm glad you decided to stay with us.
I can't wait to read your take on the house. I also see Gerry the same way you do. I hope he stays, as he seems to be someone with life's experiences and not a shallow bimbo like a few of the others. (The "T" person comes to mind)
LOL ==> I don't want to be edited.

Kent, good point. Gerry is a middle school teacher, and if any (all?) of his housemates behave on a middle school level, he'll know how to deal with it.

Hi Kent! Love your comments and hope you post more as the game progresses.

Gerry is a middle school teacher who likes politics. I'm not counting him out yet I think he may just have a few surprises for his housemates.

I dunno, that formula seemed to work pretty well for Will last season :)

Remember kent didnt approve of gays so its not surpriseing that he would not like marcellas.

...although, i've gotta say--working in a middle school--i've seen some classes eat their teachers alive. not pretty. that said, until/unless gerry proves himself to be a jerk, he has the coveted snee vote.

p.s. i miss the kent & bunky show too!

Maris - That's not true. He had no problem with gay people. He just didn't approve of the lifestyle, there is a big, big difference.

Adamblast

Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 03:32 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Ryanc2002 -- that is a distinction that may mean something to you... But as a gay man, as far as I'm concerned, someone going around saying they "don't approve of my lifestyle" has a problem with me. No difference at all.

Maris

Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 03:41 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I didnt mean to start something I was just saying it isnt surprising that Kent wouldnt care for Marcellas. I dont think of being gay as a "lifestyle" that implies some sort of choice. You are gay or you are straight it is just a factor in who you are as a human being.

I truly did not mean anything by my post.

Maris-- no offence taken here, nor am I offended by anything in anyone else's posts... Just disagreeing with Ryanc a bit on what constitutes having a "problem" with gay folk... For what it's worth, I agree it would be no surprise if Kent didn't care for Marcellas, though I don't see a strong indication either way in his amusing article... I wouldn't go too far in attributing real feelings to any of his commments...
