What wasn't shown on the show was, that when Gerry stuck his head inside the door with that question, the girls were in the middle of a long Gerry-bashing session. They were totally taken aback because they were guilty as heck and their minds were more on, did he hear us/how long was he outside the door/was that a dig at our gossip? etc. Funny thing was, he got them to change the subject, because after they stopped laughing they did discuss the quote and someone, forget who, finally recalled the original wording-but none got the George Carlin connection!

I am in the same age group as the women Gerry spoke his line to, and understood immediately what he was referring to. He cracked me up, and the blank looks on the girl's faces cracked me up even more.

I don't think any of the girls in the house could care less what Gerry says and are probably tired of hearing him and his quotes. He is a typical old hippy turned teacher. He went to college but burnt out many brain cells while there. Now he half remembers a bunch of quotes and is not sure if they are from Carlin or Shakespear.

Betcha they'd care if he looked more like Roddy!

Well go ahead and call me stupid, because I sure didn't get it. The only thing I "got" (which I'm sure is what the girls "got") was that it was inappropriate and rude of Gerry to interrupt their conversation with an off-the-wall comment like that.

If the girls were talking about him, and he is as great as so many think he is, he should be able to rise above it (which I know he has many times before, so it's not like he doesn't know how). He might also realize that these particular girls are not going to be affected by these types of comments, as, like me, they simply do not "get" it.

After I saw that piece, I thought if I were in the house, I'd want him gone. He walks around like he is the wise man in the jungle. Annoying, annoying, annoying. Eww.

most of the people on this show are the same...it is refreshing to have someone like Gerry....if I wanted to watch a show where everyone thinks and says the same things then I would be a strong supporter of cloning...which I am not! this should be about people trying to get along and learning about each other and mutual respect...this show (BB3) is just too predictable and all this spooning stuff is as sweet and sickly as an all day sucker..most of the rats in this maze don't want to look for the cheese they just want to eat and spit out the old guy!
