I seem to be able to figure at least kinda what all the other houseguests' strategies are with the exception of Gerry. Unfortunately I don't watch him very much because I find him kinda boring. This also means I always miss any strategy conversations he has. I just was wondering if anyone had any theories on what Gerry's plan might be?

This must be my "respond to Cute day" lol. I just answered you in the Q&A thread too.

Anyways my take on this is his current strategy is just trying to stay in the house. I think he realized he pissed everyone off so he dropped it down a few million notches and is just sitting back and hoping folks will go after bigger fish. If he is still there in a few weeks I think he will be trying hard to worm his way in with a group by promising his vote. This, of course, will only work if anyone but the 6pack or core 4 are in control.

Like I said in another thread a few days ago, the rest of this game depends upon the next couple HoH's. If any of that rat pack get it, the game is over until they start picking each other off. I bet we'll see some HoH competition geared towards them not winning to keep it interesting and balance the playing field. Hope I'm right.

Gerry is just trying to stay in the game. His strategy has been to come up with a winning strategy and that is his problem. He's contantly babbling about which avenue to take and in the process he out plays himself. He's NEVER going to make it to the end.

Gee C1, did't we all say your last sentence about Will last year??? (not that I really believe that Gerry could make it to the end, but we DID say that lol)

Everybody said it about Will last year, and every HOH put someone up against Will thinking that other person would be safe and was just a "pawn". Well as we all know, Even Nicole thought that she had a better chance against Will. The problem was, we were ALL seeing his DR entries, and KNEW what a sneaky, twisted, and conniving soul he truly was.

Now regarding Gerry, I honestly think by his DR entries and his manner in the house, he is trying to be true to himself, at this point. He got in with the wrong crowd on Day 1 with Josh. Then he tried to "over" fix things with Marcellas. Now he's just trying to save his butt and stay in longer.

I think he's the smartest person in the house. He's made that too apparent in the early going and now he's hugging the floor. Humility is o.k. Josh is going to get his head chopped, probably by Lisa. Roddy and Dani will have their skirmish. Chiara is pretty dense and Marc's ego is getting the better of him. I don't think Eric and Jason trust him which I think would be a better alliance for him. Its hard to say because Amy although she's packed could be in for a surprise.

IMHO, "Gerry's Strategy" is an oxymoron.

I strongly disagree..Gerry may cite all those stupid and annoyin quotes and act like he is all smart..but he is really rather dumb..He basically gave away Marcie's stratedgy to Josh..and he is feeding right out of Josh's hand it is pathetic..I do have to agree with Roddy and say what is up with Gerry..I mean Josh was so cruel to him and all of a sudden they are in a "secret alliance"..if winning BB3 is more important than your own self-respect..than this guy makes me sick..if he wins..this season will be the worst..and he isn't a nice person at all..he was bad-mouthing Jason to Amy for no reason...probably just to feel better about himself..ugh..I hate him..even more than Josh

Gerry's strategy is taken straight from the Richard Hatch book of reality tv. Let's be glad he just isn't doing it naked. Unless you count him in a bikini naked. Looked like a piece of dental floss running up the side of a mountain to me.

Gerry has stated his strategy a few times now: "No permanent enemies, no permanent allies."

I think his plan is to form short-term coalitions week-by-week. They work together for one week, but make no promises to take each other all the way. If they choose not to help that person the next week there's no obligation. I've heard him discussing this with somebody on the show (maybe Josh?). I think Jason once discussed this idea with the guys as well. I thought I heard him say at one point that he would work with the guys for 10 days or something like that.

I remember Gerry voicing concern over keeping a balance in the house, so that no one group will gain too much power. I'm guessing this is how he planned to go about it.

Not really about Gerry's strategy, but I feel sorry for him. Following around the alpha males tonight rather pathetically, trying to get their attention, and they barely notice him.

Does any one ever talk to him? At least Amy had Marcellas. Gerry's got no one!

I was wondering IF Gerry had any strategy, it has to be hanging in as a weekly vote pawn, they've really treated him like a nonentity. That's what I hate about BB casting the most ~ they always pick one over 45 man thinking he's gonna be a housefather or some crap to everyone. I should get my hubby to apply, age 45 grandpa thinks like Survivor Rudy but looks like Tom Selleck with longer hair, heheh! Gerry had Lori once, but we see how far the alpha kids let that go.. I hope he doesn't start squawking like some demented chicken digging up the yard for money because I really like Gerry! I empathize with him a lot..
