Wow, I bet his wife wasn't too pleased about that!

"Honey, the pen slipped and I wrote divorced instead.... it doesn't mean anything, can I still go?"

"Yeah, you took one look at Tonya's knockers and "divorced" was the first thing on your mind Mr!"

"Honestly, I wasn't thinking, it was a mistake!"

"Yeah, and you really screwed up because you said you like to do DIY projects with your *wife* on your application! Those over at the TVCH are smart you know, they were on to you! I will be watching you Gerry and one finger out of place in that hot tub and forget banners, I will fly a B2 bomber over the place!"

Wow Del, can't believe no one caught that!!

From his questionaire:

What comfort item from home will you miss the most?
I'll miss my tools and the time I spend fixing things around the house and doing projects with my wife.

rofl - gotta love it

I'm predicting the first banner flown says "Hey Gerry, YOU'RE MARRIED...for now...love, the wife"

hehehe

LOL, I bet his lil' hand was slapped by Arnie, :::::Gerry, I told you, we don't need another scandal!! We also don't need another spouse breathing down our necks and threatening lawsuits!::::: then again, perhaps the person who typed it up typed divorced instead of married [not] My question: How could anyone make that mistake? Geez, 28 years is no laughing matter. Tsk Tsk Gerry, you are a naughty boy!

What comfort item from the BB house will you miss the most?
I will miss my tool and the time I spent fixing Tonya's bra strap...

I don't know. He might be fuzzy when it comes to details. I bet this is an indication to his personality. There are people who don't fill out applications well. He might have been nervous, too. Who knows!?
He'll be entertaining to say the least!

Uh, could he maybe have been divorced twice but remarried the same person each time?

Hey, it could happen!

This thread is too funny

Maybe Gerry's definition of "divorced" is how many times his wife made him sleep on the couch! LOL

Calico - LOL, after my parents divorced, my dad married/divorced/married/divorced the same woman... (he never listens to his kids!!)

This is hysterical.
Can't wait to see what other deep, dark secrets CBS was too lazy to check out.

But even if he checked the wrong box, didn't the producers probably spend hours and hours talking with him before and after they chose him? Wouldn't "hey, tell us about your two divorces" come up?

I think this whole thing is just a little weird.

Could perhaps this not be a Gerry mistake but a CBS booboo? Maybe the webmaster screwed up or something.

Is this an ok time to say here that my first impression of Gerry (space/astronauts) hmmm familiar ring that Chicken man had with his shower episode... was NOT great...just his look sorta bugs me??? After reading your hilarious posts, I may reconsider and give that booger a chance. LOL...thanks for the great laughs ya'll.:)

We really don't know how the application was worded. Many forms can be confusingly worded or designed. For example, separate areas of the form could have asked:

Have you ever been divorced?

How many times have you been married?


If he had been divorced prior to marrying his present wife, his answers might have been "yes" and "twice" leading the shows publicists to label him as "twice divorced."
