Maris, thanks for the shower update. I have never witnessed this on the LF so I was beginning to have my doubts. Granted, I don't watch alot, but I've never seen him brush his teeth, wash his face when he gets up or any general hygiene.

He brushes his teeth every day although today he didnt brush his teeth for several hours till Tonya woke up. He is very good about shaving his head. I have seen him do that three times. I havent seen him wash his face. He shaves his head by putting his hands under the water and then running his and over his bald head.

Gerry is 51, according to his bio. He should have learned better personal hygiene by now, but he hasn't. Several of the others have made comments about his wearing the same clothes over and over again without washing them. Maybe he's used to having his wife take care of that kind of thing.

I think it would be very difficult for a 51-year-old to relate to the other HGs who seem to spend most of their time talking about sex, image, social status, or other vapid topics.

I don't think I'd be great pals with Gerry, either (and I'm 46), but I also think I'd probably be ostracized by this bunch 'cause I would have a VERY hard time not shaking a few of them and screaming in their faces. I have friends as young as 26 whom I relate to quite well, but NONE of them are as unable to converse about anything other than sex as this group is. I sure hope no one tunes in to BB3 and thinks this group represents "average" people their age!

to be fair, i have seen amy on many occasions come out of the private bathroom stall and not wash, and i know she had her pants down because she was having to re-hook her mic cord to her waistband...i would have thought after all the comments during BB2 about handwashing, these people would have been very conscientious about it! i have seen eric and roddy not wash, either. oooh.... i'm going to go wash my hands now!

I would LOVE to see Gerry win HOH this week . . . then just watch them fall all over eachother to spend time with him.

you know I have trouble watching the Feeds in the morning because Gerry is the only one awake and in a matter of 2 minutes (a) first, he gulps his juice, (b) then, he burps 2 times and, (c) then he finnishes it off by passing gas.

Now please I just can't watch this.

I have to agree Laura, I just cant watch him either. If he wins HOH I am turning off my feeds for a week. He will be a sanctimonious slob if he is HOH.

well, it looks like gerry has a pattern or system then, so you can know not to watch him the early morning! now, chiara and josh just fart whenever and wherever they please, even on the kitchen counter as people prepare or eat food. if chiara wins HoH, lord knows what will happen. she will want roddy with her, or she will not sleep in there. she will be too afraid he might go to amy during the night!! well, of course, that harlot, amy, would be on the chopping block!!

Quite honestly, if Gerry can't do that stuff when he is up alone in the morning, when would be good?

The fault here, is really on the viewer (not just you, all of us). This show just happens to set up a weird circumstance where we get to see things that we shouldn't.

I would drive all you people batty. There are days when I don't change my clothes just because I've got other stuff going on and I can't be bothered. I don't necessarily shower or brush my teeth every day either. I do wash my hands constantly whenever I'm handling food, though, because that's when cleanliness does matter to me.

I can't imagine living with people who are so centered on cleanliness though.

It's not just because Gerry is older than everyone, though. When he chewed out the Alliance on national TV for being racist and homophobic, it deeply offended them. That's the most concrete reason they don't like or trust him. They feel he sold them out (remember--he was sort of part of the alliance back then) and then accused them of stuff that they won't be able to wash off in the real world.

I'd dislike someone who did that do me, too.

Honestly, I would just want to know why they (Josh) picked Marcellas as the most negative. I understand they were with each other for a few days before the show. And since in Josh's interview about rednecks and bible thumpers I just get that he is a judgemental person. So perhaps Gerry hit the nail on the head, lord knows Truth Hurts!

Crossfire: You know it's like I tell my kids, "If you need to pick you nose, do it in private." And I realize that Gerry is all "alone" in the mornings, I just find it hard to be a voyeer at these times.

WE all do. I am pretty sure we all do at times. :)

Fortunately, I don't have the feeds, but I can create a good picture in my mind. :(

I have been gone for a couple of days and came back to check the Gerry Threads first, they all seem to turned into the Gerry's not worth paying attention to or he is so disgusting I can't stand him for <a,b,c> reason. Funny but the things stated for his demises are being done by other house guests at the same time yet no one wants the Other house guests out.

So one last time I will say I LIKE GERRY I don't like some of the things he does (not washing his hands) which I also don't like about Amy but at least I can listen to Gerry say more than one sentence with out hearing whining. Oh my heck (grrrr now she has got me doing it) it is a losing battle but I SITLL LIKE GERRY but I might as well give up these threads cuz no matter how positive it starts out someone feels the need to tell us all the bad things we each see. Gerry is not perfect, but then neither is Marc, Dani, Amy, Josh, Eric. Roddy, Lisa, Chi,Tonya... not even Jason is perfect people we all have faults. oh well this is a losing battle but I will sign off with
I LIKE GERRY

for starters, i like gerry. while watching the first bb3 show this year, my initial thoughts on gerry & josh were that they were very unattractive people. but, then i realized i was comparing them to the others in the house. even though i am not attracted to the other guys in the house i do rate them "very" above average. gerry & josh just stood out as having the uggs when really they are average. i see people like them every day and do not automatically think how ugly they are. when it comes to gerrys cleanliness, i guess i dont even pay much attention. i work in a tanning salon and clean over 200 beds a day, so my tolerance is very very high. not that i think he is clean, but to do what i have to do i cant think of peoples cleanliness too much. as for josh, he is ugly in & out.
it has to be or
