Earthmother | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 07:19 am     I agree Eliz, he is a teacher and Middle School age is the toughest age group. One thing in Gerry's favor is that when they get out of that house and get to see what really happened they will too embarrassed to show their faces in public. It is one thing to play the game by creating scenarios that are twisted to put someone else in question but harmful name calling and all out bashing is going beyond human dignity and is not playing the game it's vile, immature and very sad to say the least. As far as I am concerned the only two people who have shown any form of humanity is Gerry and Lori. I am not saying I agree with Gerry for the way he handled the veto by discussing it with Danielle (which did look like he was talking about all of 6 pack even though he only blamed himself during meeting). Lori had the guts to stand up and tell them how wrong they were for picking apart Gerry without talking to him first about the hand washing. Jason seems to be a good kid but in my opinion you put your money where your mouth is and if you don't have the guts to tell Josh he has stepped over the line then I have a hard time believing you are so God fearing and sweet. These people are so stupid that they don't realize that if Gerry goes one of them will become the victim and they won't have anyone to help them either. There are two things I live by and that is "Be careful what you ask for" and "What goes around comes around". |
Way2prissy | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 10:03 am     I feel bad for Gerry. He is overly dramatic but I can tell he has a good heart. I don't think he deserves all the badmouthing he is receiving from the hg's. I wish he would confront some of them. At this point, it wouldn't hurt his position in the house. If Marc nominates him in case of a veto, I will be very upset! |
Needmylifeback | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 10:16 am     Gerry and Marcellas are having a very good conversation this morning. Marcellas is telling Gerry he has chosen to believe him. And Marcellas is already looking toward next week! I think Marcellas is sticking with Gerry at least another week (regardless with what he has said to Danielle). Marcellas has given Gerry his back at least through next week - Marcellas has also "apologised" at what Gerry has been through. I think that that is enough to Gerry for him to stay strong (no matter what else anyone does or says to him.) I'd like to see the two of them take it all the way! |
Fluffybbw | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 12:31 pm     I don't think Gerry will walk out. As everyone has been pointing out, he is a Middle School teacher, and given the mentality and lack of maturity evidenced by most of the HG's I'd have to say Gerry probably feels he's just back in his classroom teaching in front of a bunch of 7th graders. I mean look at the similarity - constant talk about sex, trying to one up each other with talk about their sexual conquests, lots of mirror time, crushes between the "popular" girls and the "popular" boys. (Can't you just picture Eric in a football uniform and Lisa in a cheerleader's outfit?) I just think Gerry is used to this kind of behavior and he is just trying to keep his temper and self respect so that when he does leave the game he will be able to do so with his head held high. |
Earthmother | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 12:37 pm     yep..I teach 8th grade and these guys are my students with different names. |
Ketchuplover | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 12:44 pm     My favorite 3 years in school were the 7th grade |
Earthmother | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 12:46 pm     lol...Ketchuplover I have a few of students like you too. |
Delilah | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 12:52 pm     I feel very bad for Gerry and I hope he wins HOH this week. I would like to see some serious butt kissing... Although perhaps if he does win, he would use it as a soap box.... |
Tabbyking | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 01:05 pm     i also think there is no way gerry would walk. and as others mentioned, each week someone else will be turned on, shunned, voted out...it will hit most all of them sooner or later. i think it will hit the princesses harder than it is gerry. they are so used to getting attention all the time. i can't wait to see chiara or lisa in the hot seat! as for playing solitaire, i would find that much more my style than slapping peanut butter and flowers on my privates, squeezing ingrown hairs, playing musical beds....and so on and so on, and scooby dooby doo! |
Dedonjo | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 01:31 pm     Way2 - ditto. |
Serate | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 01:34 pm     OK so dummy me set the VCR wrong and I didn't get to watch last night. What's this about Gerry walking? Did they give him the option to or is he feeling bad about all the crap being talked about him [that is if he even knows] |
Crossfire | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 01:35 pm     Much ado about nothing. Someone was just speculating. |
Serate | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 01:38 pm     thanks Crossfire. never can tell what happens or is just speculated unless ya watch it yourself. :-) |
Classycassfan | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 01:42 pm     oh Tabbyking why did you have to give me that mental picture.... Amy being the shunned one... Marc thinks Gerry follows him around good gawd.... it will be nothing like when no one will talk to Amy. She will not only be sleeping in his bed she will be wanting to snuggle and spoon with him. Please forgive me if I have given anyone a truly nasty mental image of this but I just had to share  |
Needmylifeback | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 02:29 pm     ...another good thing about Gerry.... His luxury item (at least one of them) is a cribbage board! My dad taught me cribbage & he taught my son.....I love to play cribbage - Gerry must be all right! Love to see him get HOH next week too! |
Ketchuplover | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 02:33 pm     Has he played cribbage there yet? |
Needmylifeback | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 02:48 pm     He doesn't get it until he gets HOH - they said it was one of his "luxury" items. . . Of course, then he'd have to find a hamster that could add by 15's . . . maybe the lizzards know how to play...Hmmmmm. |
Cyn | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 01:06 am     the girls are talking and they mentioned that gerry's first wife was a black woman. and, did you notice how he's transferring his relationship w/ everyone into the wierd uncle, instead of the overbearing father figure? |
Bernie | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 02:42 am     Cyn, they were making fun of Gerry, for the way he tries to connect by saying he has something in common with each of them. They added a lot of other spiteful comments too. The scary thing is that he seems to stand out as the weird one, when in fact, he's probably the most 'normal' and mature. |
Earthmother | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 07:02 am     Unless we are just missing an awful lot which I doubt he seems to be the only one acting like a grown-up and personally I think that's what is bothering them. He and Jason are the only ones who haven't out and out called someone a nasty name. If he is trying to connect with everyone by having at least one thing in common with them isn't that the same thing everyone gave Roddy Kudos for just last week. |
Ellenkats | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 07:23 am     I don't like Gerry but agree the HGs are far too harsh on him. I am embarrassed for him and them. I don't really think Gerry is racist or intolerant, but that his 'veto-speech' was overly scrutinized and skewed to that affect. What is saddest (to me) is that I feel Dani, Amy, Jason, Marc and Tanya need Gerry and each other to stay in the game but are too blind to see it. I know isolation does crazy things to people... but like a car accident, it's hard to watch and harder to turn away. :-( |
