... because "hate" is such a strong word. :-)

There was a period for about five minutes last night when I REALLY liked him, but he's just playing his role of "all-knowing father" just TOO much for my tastes. He has advice about EVERYTHING, is offering help in a "I know more about it than you do" way on EVERYTHING, and he's just too cocky in an over-compensating kind of way.

Ok, had to get that out. I feel better now. :-)

Anyone else feel me on this one?

No, Clio, don't feel yah there, ROTFL!! Here I was thinking that the guy is keeping everything so low key to remain under the radar that I didn't even think he was offering much of any opinion at all, except to call Amy 'Blanche Dubois'. Or was it Lori? God, I'm SO confused!

Clio...I'm totally with you on this one. Gerry has driven me crazy from the word GO. He just doesn't fit in on top of being Mr. Know It All. I keep hearing "whispered under tones" of yapping about him being the dad. I think they will ditch dad soon...

Jadey, are you watching the feeds now? Josh was CRACKING me up talking about how Gerry makes him get up with him in the morning, Josh says he's scared, worried that Gerry's gonna chastise him for staying out too late, or for messing up the car (as if Gerry is his dad.) And he said, "and then he tells me to go back to bed and I go." Oh, it was so funny.

Kappy, he's not like a domineering, loud, control freak, he's very gentle with it, but it's there. And it was Amy he was talking about.

I haven't watched the feeds long enough to see this negative side of Gerry you guys are refering to.

When I watch him I get the sense he feels awkward and is trying to find his "role" in the house. I think he's also trying to keep himself stimulated. He can't relate to the younger males, he can't relate to the younger females and Lori and Tonya are so not on the same intellectual level he is, so what is the guy supposed to do?

IMO Gerry just seems like a decent human being. In fact, I think all these hgs are. I certainly never felt that way about the BB2 cast.

Here, because I like to whine, I offer you an ongoing listing of odd things Gerry is an expert on:

1. hot tub maintenance
2. air pressure carnival guns that shoot balls across the yard (he gave a lengthy demonstration on trouble-shooting tips for anyone who would listen.)
3. crushed velour and its use in furniture upholstery

Scorpio, I think you're right. Gerry sees his role as "father" and he's playing it to the hilt. I might be the same way if I were in his position. But the thing is, I have to dislike SOMEBODY and I get too much of a kick out of Josh to hate him like everyone else does. :)

But Clio (I whine)! What about Lori? She is a zillion times worse than Gerry. :)

But just give it time. I may end up back at this thread in a few days totally agreeing with you. :)

Gotcha Clio ~ I think it's because I don't have live feeds and I'm going strictly what I saw on tv.

LOL! I spend too much time following Gerry around waiting to see what new thing he'll annoy me with to pay any attention to Lori. (Other than, like Marcellus said, I really didn't like her overall outfit.)Either that or following Josh, but I haven't paid too much attention to Lori.

I've gone from liking Gerry to "loving to dislike very much" Gerry in 24 hours.

Yeah Kappy, Gerry's getting virutally no "face time" (now I DO HATE that phrase) on the shows.

Feel a bit sorry for the guy--he's trying to find a foothold on an extremely slipperly slope. He doesn't stand a chance.

When I heard him talking to Lori about "Promise Keepers" and one person being in charge it took me aback. However, what really clinched it for me was the "feminism out of control" and "there are certain jobs that men should do" that really had me screaming at the screen.

Gerry is a teacher. God I hope he isn't telling this to the girls in his class. As a woman who was in the Navy, Gerry's attitude really grates on me. He slyly gets his dig in regarding women.

Agree Avrey, as a Navy woman I would love to know what you think about his opinion that women aren't team players??????????? Listening to him and Lori talk about the meaning of life is painful.

Oh boy. I just knew they'd slip a "type" like him in the bunch. It's funny, I didn't get that vibe off of him--he struck me as sort of liberal.

Right now he and Lori are on the porch discussing their previous marriages.

This morning's conversation between Gerry and Lori has really been an eye opener. I am very disappointed in Gerry.

I would have thought an educated man would have been more enlightened. Sad to see this attitiude still exists in our schools. Our girls still don't stand a chance for an equal educaton.

Hey Maris! Yep, it has been a while. I was in the Navy for 8 yrs. 1982-1990. My 16 yr. old daughter is applying to the Naval Academy. Keeping my fingers crossed. I was enlisited. Cryptoligist. I
got out and went to nursing school and my husband retired from Navy in 1997.

Enough about me! Yeah, that Gerry is really getting on my bad side. I had him pegged for a liberal, or at least a moderate. I'm just glad I wansn't sitting where Lori was.

I am betting that Gerry wont last too long. Jason just got up meets Gerry in the hall and Gerry says to him, not that it matters but its past 11.

Two days in a row, Jason wakes up to a lecture from Gerry, Ants yesterday and time today. Gerry will get on everyones last nerve. No doubt about it.

Danielle just got up and gets hit by Gerry and how dinners should be planned out.

Jason comes in for his breakfast and Gerry hits him with change your battery and I really want to talk to you, I dont want to play games. Jason just shakes his head and laughs.

Oh god, now he is saying he is so full of love today and show me the love. He goes to hug Jason and Jason says Dad.

I say Gerry is gone in two weeks. Taking him off my fantasy team as I speak. he he

He was hovering when Danielle was making eggs. Hello! She's a mom--I think she can handle it.

Nicole become the cook last year not only because she was a "chef," but mainly by sheer force of personality. That ain't gonna fly in this group.

Maris

Friday, July 12, 2002 - 10:37 am EditMoveDeleteIP
then Danielle asks him if it is "halter top" hot outside, he answers yes, its really hot "wife beater hot". This guy is really annoying me.

I agree, he is trying to be too cool. The six pack will get tired of him soon. He is demeaning himself big time and he is supposed to be an example for his school kids, hmmmmm. He should see through Josh and all the other body nazis. Can't believe he is being sucked in. I am suprised at how gullible he is and how his so called "popularity" is going to his head.

I think Gerry is too much of an actor. (been trying to get into acting for years) He's trying to "act" like a dad to the rest of them, therefore he's "acting" like he knows it all and has an answer to everything. I really did not care for his comments on women today. He doesn't think women have what it takes for certain things? He seems like he doesn't take much stock in a woman's opinion or have much respect for them. I'm done w/Gerry. I don't care if he leaves.

(As per the LF now) If he stands up to Lisa and vetos Marcie and noms Josh instead, I will be very happy! Sounds like Gerry may be swaying away from the dark side/six pack and going with the real people. Maybe his moral side is kicking in at last. I HOPE he is seeing through these people. Sounds like he won the veto challenge.

Come on guys, let's not give up on Gerry yet!
