Faerygdds that's just it...I'm really not sure. Something to do with feeling really tranquil for the first time in his life. His life is enriched for having met Roddy. Clicking and connecting and going with the moment...

Can anybody shed some light on this?

Yeah, it was an odd moment...he was sitting by the spa and suddenly started spouting some nonsense about not minding if he got evicted in 5 weeks since he had this opportunity to meet Roddy.

One would have thought he was professing his love, as serious as he was....

Damn...At least the American Dental Association girl had her "epiphany" at 5 AM in the diary room (holy hell, almost typed "red room") so as not to embarass herself in public.

As I was watching Josh talking to Rod about how Rod has "changed" his life, I really got sucked into it, thinking he was being sincere, and I got that screen cap thinking, "wow, he is really having an epiphany here, then I thought of Shannon, when she had hers. Then all of a sudden he says he's having an epiphany. Is he playing it up, being Chilltown all wrapped up into one? I'm staying tuned to find out.

Me too Sage. I'm calling it a temporary loss of judgement on my part. I'm over it.

See, is it any wonder the HGs keep getting sucked in?? If the two of you almost fall for it, even knowing everything you know, can you imagine what it must be like to be IN the house with that guy???

What time did this incident happen with Lori and Gerry? I always miss the good stuff. :(

From what I read about the handwashing discussion (and it was covered and covered and covered), Lori just called them on how they were working themselves up into a "Gerry is dirty and low class and has to go" instead of just talking to him about washing his hands.

Danielle had this issue before she even met anyone or got into the house.. the cr*p about praying to god to remove the bacteria from her food. Give me a break.

And even after being called on it, it sounded like later she tried to turn it around that it was LORI who was worked up about Gerry's habits, which seems doubtful to me.

As someone already said, many of them are constantly looking for any reason at all to "justify" wanting someone gone (pretty much anyone but them).

Meanwhile Josh scuttles around waving his cockroach feelers and threatening anyone who doesn't toe the line as he sees it.. like telling Gerry he can't talk to certain people. Right.

So.. I don't think it is "poor Danielle". I like her better than the Body Nazis but she's as two faced as most of them.

And.. I agree that Lori probably is signing her death warrant (or grabbing a "get out of jail free" card??) so it wasn't a good game playing move but she was totally right about calling them on what they were doing.

I really don't have a problem with her questioning them sitting there talking about it but the way she in a matter of two minutes escalated what I felt was maybe a drawn out discussion but none the less part of the discussion was in how to handle it, who should say something, what should they say, and she came in and started screaming. And instead of Gerry being less embarassed by the whole thing she magnified his embarassment ten fold.

I personally go back in forth about wether I like her or not but the way that it played out smacked of NICOLE. Who the alumni might remember was not my favorite person.

I personally don't blame anyone for making an issue out of this. It's just GROSS.

My final thoughts on this...

Boy did they use Loris agressive emotions as a trump card to cover up their own guilt in this. Think about this..

If both Tonya and Danielle were truly concerned about this man not washing his hands before making the salad last night, why didn't they tell any of the other house guests BEFORE they ate the salad and not after? Now when you think about that, it does open a door to question the character of both Tonya and Danielle.

If EVERYONE thought it was soooooo embarassing that Gerry was confronted in that manner, why didn't Danielle say to him, " Hey Gerry I'd like to speak to you alone?" Danielle was the one who decided to confront him in front of everyone. Lori simply forced her to address the topic right then and there, but she never told Danielle to do it in front of everyone. Danielle made that choice and no one stopped her from doing it.

I personally think Tonay is pathetic for not telling anyone before they ate the salad and then trashing the man behind his back about issues that were non related to hand washing and then having the nerve to suggest confronting him in front of everyone is embarassing. Uh... did she forget while she was talking about his nasty toes that his family might be listening to her? These people carck me up!

Thanks Seamonkey, that's the best laugh I've had in days!

Not washing your hands is not a character flaw - it's just bad hygiene and gross. Tell the guy you saw he didn't wash his hands and you'd appreciate it if he would remember to do it. Turning the incident into Armageddon is just back stabbing crap designed to make people turn on someone. Lori had the right idea - just tell the guy! The fact that she did so will not seal her fate in and of itself.

Telling them to just tell him: You're right, won't kill her.

Pissing off the 6-Pack: She put the bullet in the gun.

Weinermr: I agree with everything you said about the crapfest they pulled about the handwashing, but I think when they vote Lori out they will use that emotional moment against her and suggest she is too high strung for the game. Josh was right on it and said to all the girls that this proved that Lori shouldn't be in the house because of her mental state of mind, yet none of them suggested that Danielle needed to go because she flipped out and actually got VERY agressive out of no where. I still applaud Lori for calling their bluff and forcing them to address it to his face.

Sorry to join this discussion so late, but here's my take on it:

This whole situation blew up last night because Danielle wouldn't let it go. She instigated the talk about Gerry and hand washing, She went on and on about it. She went into minute and graphic detail about his fingers squeezing the garlic and about his handling the toothpaste. She went on and on about his "nasty toes" and "funky hands." She continued to obsess about it with each new person who entered the group. Several of them tried to end the subject in one way or another, but Danielle continued it. When Lori finally entered the room, she tried to downplay the severity of the issue at hand, but when Danielle wouldn't let up, Lori in her usual style went emotionally over the top.

To her credit, Danielle handled the confrontation with Gerry rationally and calmly. To both Lori's and Danielle's credit, they then walked away and played cards together. To Gerry's credit, he accepted the slap on the wrist without becoming defensive. To the rest of the House Guest's credit, they each in their way attempted to smooth things over, down play it, or bring some humor to the situation.

From what I'm gathering from this, Gerry is sort of like Cassandra from BB1. Nothing, or hardly anything disturbs his equilibrium. That could be the whole teacher dealing with his students thing, obviously. Of course even Cassandra broke down when she was told it was required that she participate in that innocuous square dance and she made like it was an affront to African-Americans everywhere. Gerry's hot button hasn't been pushed yet, I guess.

Maybe, Ryan. The gun was already aimed at her though, and none of those people need any help pulling the trigger.

Ryan is right. She offended the in-crowd and made them look like fools. She loaded the gun for eviction.

Not before that. Before that, the gun was aimed at Token...oops, I mean Marcellius. ;)

Pen: You wrote "To the rest of the House Guest's credit, they each in their way attempted to smooth things over, down play it, or bring some humor to the situation."

Not exactly. The girls continued the conversation. Dogged on Lori, praised Danielle for being "forced" into the situation, and made sure to play the embarassment card when they had all participated earlier in attacking the mans character behind his back which was even more embarassing. I thought the aftermath conversation was even more pathetic. Especially Tonyas input. She was just as much an instigator in the whole, "lets rag on Gerry routine and justify it by mentioning that he doesn't wash his hands after he uses the toliet"

Come on you guys, no matter which side of this thing you're on you have to agree on one thing: It was pretty damned entertaining.

Ryan... Hell Yes! I mentioned that last night in one of my posts. At least we got some STUFF last night and maybe a forshaddowing of things to come. As Danielle put it, "Tommy, She's gonna hit her" LOL

Yeah I'll give you that Ryan...for the first time since BB3 started I lost sleep over it. Least something was happening. Of course round about the time of Josh's fake epiphany I decided to pull the plug. I swear I could hear him strategizing with Mike Boogie and Will about how to "Play the losers" before he came in the house. Bet you all it happened.
