jerry teaches in a middle school, which is either grades 6, 7, and 8; or just 7 and 8, depending on the school district. he did teach special ed for 10 years. sometimes i like him--when he puts me in mind of frank on 'trading spaces'. i want to like him because he is closest to my age!! but not sure how much his teaching will help him. i taught preschool and doubt that would help with anything besides having to give them serious time-outs for potty language! plus, josh would have been expelled for biting right now! he may act like a 3-year-old, but a 3-year-old would have suffered consequences for doing the same things!
my emt experiences would make me want to label most of the contestants as 5150's and haul them off to a different house.
my mothering experience would tell me that not everyone would want to hear ad nauseum about my kids, and that it doesn't make you a good mother to relate a cute kid story where the kid shoplifted and you knew it and didn't make her return the item and apologize to the store personnel for taking it.
these people should be ashamed of themselves, but then look at the people who are there! i think very few of them really, truly have morals in keeping with those of us watching. most of them seem as if they would fit just as well on the "jerry springer show"... there is some eye-candy, to be sure, but very few genuinely nice people in the house. what keeps coming home to me is the 'beauty is only skin deep' and 'inner beauty is what counts' and the like. still looking for more of them to get past the outer shell and show us if they are beautiful inside.
i was happy to hear gerry say he works with habitat for humanity, because we do, too, even our teenage kids.

Ok, I must really say something about Gerry. The man absolutely can not stand to see people off to themselves for more than 5 minutes. ANY people. He's like a little busy busy bee. Has to bust in on people and then totally take over the conversation. He and Josh are alot alike in that way. He just gets on my nerves. Alot. I'm done.:)

Oh no, I'm beginning to crack and am having sympathy pains for Gerry. Just a minute ago when he was talking to Danielle before they ate dinner, Danielle was asking Gerry why he was hanging out in the house all day, and he said he was beginning to feel isolated by "some people" I can only assume he means the pretty/annoying/boring people. He sounded so sad.

Poor Gerry, I got a mental picture of him being the social outcast kid sitting by himself in the cafeteria. :(

I think Gerry is playing 24 hours a day. he tells people what he thinks they want to hear. Yesterday he is giving chiara foot massages, today he is teling lori hat he just wants to get to know everyone. I am so tired of him repeating that josh didnt know wha sychophant means, and he repeated the definition as though everyone was stupid. He annoys me no end. I have never seen him take a shower, but that is for another thread.

Oh I didn't know about the sychophant thing. Need to add that...

Things that Gerry is an expert on...

5. The meaning of the word "sychophant" and the fact that Josh knows nothing about it.

I'm sure there have been many more, I've haven't been able to watch the feeds for almost two days (AH! What torture, LOL!) Everyone's free to add any I miss.

I must confess, I didn't know what "sychophant" meant either. So I just looked it up and, to my surprise, there was a photo of Chiarra there! Amazing! :)

Gerry is becoming increasingly and unceasingly annoying.. and a wee bit of a sycophant himself. And his voice is puzzling.. sounds like a voice that has been digitally remastered to protect his identity... very odd.

At the request of starting as few new threads as possible, I'm starting a new sub thread in this one called, "Things that Roddy (whomever he is) is an expert on."

1. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah....

He's saying SOMETHING I'm sure, but right now that's all I can hear, it all sounds the same to me. :)

Things that Roddy (whoever he is) is an expert on......

2. The nutritional benefit of yard grass to humans and how that relates to it's consumption in bovinves (that's why cows have 4 stomcahes, it takes a LONG time to digest it.)

Clio, that would be a hilarious thread--a good title also! And I think you could get away with it too. Pretty original and funny!

What in the heck was I trying to spell up there!!! Sorry guys, I was awake from 11:30 am Sunday until 7am Monday and then slept until 6pm so I'm a little whacked in the head, but that was supposed to be:

"Bovines"

I suppose I could Oregon, but Roddy (whomever that is) is getting WAY too much attention as it is, so I think I'll make him mad (of course he'll never know, but I can pretend) by keeping his sub-thread in a Gerry thread. :)

6. The colors of the Finnish flag: White with a blue cross on it (he thinks, he's not sure.) Turns out our Ger is 1/4 Finnish and his Finnish-American grandmamma's name was Stella Lem Pella!

Ok, now don't get me wrong, I still feel sorry for the man, I think he's being picked on and Josh and the rest are over reacting, but he needed to lay off the "I have gay friends and I should have KNOWN Marcellas was just being queeny that first night."

First of all, one of the biggest rules of life is that just because a certain demographic group uses slanderous or semi-slanderous words when talking about one another and make it a term of affection, that doesn't mean its' cool for their friends OUTSIDE of the group to do the same. What I'm saying is, Gerry, we know you LOVE gay people, but PLEASE STOP SAYING "Marcellas was just acting like a Queen"!!!! I swear if he calls Marcellas his n____ just to show how cool he thinks he is, I'm gonna have to drive to LA, take the megaphone lady's megaphone and SCREAM at him!!!

And secondly, PA-LEEEZE stop saying that just because you have gay friends that you know how Marcellas is gonna act. I don't have that many gay male friends, but I have enough to know that they don't ALL act the same way and therefore I cannot presuppose one gay man's behaviour based on another's.

Don't ask me why I'm talking to Gerry like he can actually read this, I'm not sure myself. :)
