C1mag | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:00 pm     I'm not happy at all!! This man has made too many promises with the wrong people to protect them ( Josh and Roddy)... Because of that, it only leaves a few scenarios as to who he will nominate. In the process he will be giving to the two key guys what they really want and that is another female gone and Rod, Josh, Eric and they will use Gerry, will rule the game. This man holds a key hoh that could literally change the outcome of this whole game and in the process he could be responsible for getting rid of the king. That alone deserves at least 50,000. All he has to do is nominate Rod and Josh. Tell Josh he has to go and Rod is the Decoy. convince Rod he is DEFINETELY safe so no need for a veto. If that would happen just shove in Eric. Then Dan, Jay, and Marci tie the vote and then Gerry gets the pleasure of evicting the king or his prince. He will have literally destroyed that empire. Yet I don't see him doing that. This hoh victory was not what I wanted to see. I don't trust Gerry at all. He over plays this game waaaaay too much. To prove how ignorant he really is just look at his comment as to why he thinks Roddy kept him in the game. He really thinks Roddy see's Gerry as his intellectual equal in the house. Right there tells you Gerry doesn't have his head screwed on straight. Roddy should be his target. Not the man you idolize and look for acceptance. |
Bmh | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:04 pm     Im not happy either..C1mag I agree with everything you said..sucks doens't it..Gerry is gonna ruin everything R/E/J will still be in and we will see another woman walk out |
Whit4you | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:10 pm     Ya I'm totally thrilled that Gerry got HOH - if one of the 4 pack got HOH it'd just be basically a waiting game till the end now it's anyones game really. Besides that the way they have all treated Gerry - it's going to be priceless to see them all being nice to him for the next few days LOL - that is worth the price of admission I don't think he'll go back on his word to Roddy - however Roddy was totally looking out for himself and against Lisa Eric and Char by making that deal so I do hope that Gerry mentions that the deal was made.. Oh I think it being 'just between them" weas a part of the deal wasnt it. Ironically Roddy had no intentions of putting Gerry up anyhow he just used that ploy to get more backing behind himself. Roddy is a coniving player that's for sure LOL. I hope that Gerry puts up Eric and Chaiara - if not then Eric and Lisa. IT's gonna be a nasty week in that house once he does his nom's though isn't it..LOL cant wait Gerry does need to be careful though or he will be out NEXT week - if either of the 3 remaining of the 4 pack gets HOH But the new twist might save Gerry's butt whatever that new twist is gonna be... |
Crossfire | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:10 pm     I don't disagree with what you are saying, but I'll take Gerry over Eric. In that context, I am very happy. |
Bmh | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:12 pm     I hope Gerry goes next week unless he gets a brain and nominates Josh and Roddy..if he nominates any kind of a Eric,Lisa,Chiara combo then he is an idiot and is just screwing himself..Roddy is the biggest threat with Eric a close second |
Oregonfire | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:14 pm     Yes, definitely, couldn't be happier. He needs the attention if anything else. Everyone should get to win it at least once, IMO. Plus it mixes things up a bit in the house. "Who will he nominate?" is the big question. (The Core Four girls or otherwise.) |
Ryn | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:14 pm     Would you have preferred Eric??? I see crossfire said the same thing. I am very happy. |
Bmh | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:16 pm     I would have preferred Eric because I hate Gerry and Josh..with them gone then the two competing alliances could battle it out E/L/C/R vs. D/J/M |
Draheid | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:18 pm     I'm very happy he got HOH ... the only thing I hope is that he doesn't have another 'life altering' epiphany resulting in another alienating speach when he does nominations! Again, just my  |
Eden | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:19 pm     He needs to nominate Roddy and Eric with a threat to throw up one of the girls if his noms are vetoed. Time to play hard ball! I LOVE that Gerry got this opportunity to put his foot on the juggular of the people who have had him in a stranglehold for the last month!!!!! I think he can pull the votes to make HIS choice stand and if he can't he can use his own vote in a tie! Stir it up Gerry, one of these smug GenXers need to feel the velocity of your boot! |
Wcv63 | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:19 pm     Bmh...those numbers aren't balanced. I'm happy Gerry got it. Since when has Gerry allowed a lil ole thing like an alliance stand in his way? |
Aria | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:20 pm     I'd rather Gerry than Eric. Eric would be just another repeat of Roddy. Yuck! |
Bmh | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:22 pm     I would be happy for Gerry if he did the smart thing and nominated Eric and Roddy but he ISN'T going too..he is gonna ruin everything and nominate 2 people that are not threats whatsoever(Lisa and Chiara)..just so another women can leave which is completely stupid |
Ellenkats | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:23 pm     I am sorry Gerry has aligned with the then-seeming 'powers-that-be' Roddy and Josh -- but let's face it, anyone could have approached Gerry with a deal. Roddy and Josh were the ones smart enough to think to. But Gerry is still smart, and I think he knows his only chance in the house is to align with Dani, Jason, Marc, etc. It will be interesting to see who he noms. The chance of enough votes to get Roddy out almost makes it worth the risk to break his deal with Roddy and risk the remaining 'threesome's' wrath (I don't really count Josh in that group even though he thinks he is included). Btw (off-topic) -- didn't Jason have some deal with Roddy too? |
Sanfranjoshfan | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:29 pm     I'm really happy Gerry got it.....it stirs the drama in the house and gives the "outsiders" a better chance to even things out. I am under the impression that Danielle, Marcellas, and jason could easily vote as a block, leaving Gerry with the tie breaker vote....which would take the power of the majority away from the two couples. Of course, the new twist could really muck things up and throw the power right back into the couples' court. And I have a complaint....I hate the idea that BB keeps adding rules without telling anyone. What's the point of guessing on all the possible twists....I find myslef putting in too much effort on "what ifs" when the entire game dynamic could change at the surprise drop of a hat! I doubt if baseball fans would put up with new rules being added at the last minute: "Announcement...this week we will have only two outs per inning for the home team...be sure and check next week to see what the new rules will be then!" Playing a game with rules that change every time you turn around is irritating...I like to KNOW the rules and strategize within them. |
Wcv63 | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:32 pm     I agree SanFran. I want to know why the evicted houseguests are sequestered. I want to know if the new "twist" is designed to alter the balance of power in the house or solidfy it. BB has always orchestrated things behind the scenes and this time they may orchestrate themselves right into a very boring "pick off" fest. |
Ellenkats | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:32 pm     >>I like to KNOW the rules and strategize within them.<< So do the HGs, I think that was rather BB's point in changing them. :-( |
Auntie | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:36 pm     I think it's great that Gerry won HOH! Almost as good as Josh. I hope he nominates Eric & Chiara, but he'll probably go for Lisa & Chiara, unless he has a pre-nomination epiphany that going for two women would be sexist. LOL |
Texastillie | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:36 pm     I'm glad Gerry won because he has been so undeservingly punished by the others (ALL of them except maybe Jason). His win will also allow Dani and Jason to stay UTR {love Jason and hoping he wins - DUH!}. I think Roddy has a lot of influence on Gerry and could very well convince him to nominate Josh with Marci again as decoy. I hope he goes for the foursome. That is the only chance any of the others has. |
Earthmother | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:47 pm     HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Those early morning talks helped...and he can count. Roddy thinks Gerry is not intelligent, but I think he should look at his buddy Eric more closely before casting aspersions. |
Fix2scream | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:48 pm     I hate that BB keeps changing things and doesn't let us know what's coming up! Come on, we can't tell and we sure aren't going to not watch just because we know before hand what the twist is. I'd watch just to see the reactions of the houseguests. But, yeah, I liked that Gerry got HOH. Just because it makes it more interesting. But the impending surprise kinda ruins it for me. |
Suitsmefine | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:09 pm     I am sooooooo glad Gerry got HOH, {Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy } I just hope he puts up Roddy and Eric, and Roddy goes , without Roddy I don't think Eric would <know which way was up> let alone when to play the game. I enjoyed seeing Roddy put his head between his knees like he was about to hurl when Gerry got HOH . The "Flawed 4" have called everyone in the house "Fin' 3RD graders among other things when they didn't kiss their behinds now they are the playground babies and I'm loving every moment of it! (c) |
Scorpiomoon | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:16 pm     I'm happy simply for the fact that it was sweet revenge. |
Penpoint | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:17 pm     If all were really fair, Gerry should nominate Danielle and Josh, the two people in the house who have most cruelly demonized Gerry behind his back. As others have said above, he will probably nominate two from the "couples," which unfortunately means we are going to have to put up with even more of Josh's and Danielle's "constant" dealing and manipulating. Regarding the surprise changes BB is making in the game, I welcome them. These changes are just like real life--you must adjust to the unexpected challenges that life throws you way. |
Draheid | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:19 pm     If Gerry knew what we know, things would be a lot more clear for him ... but he doesn't so he'll do whatever he feels is 'right' (I hope it's Eric & Chiara, JMO) ... |
