I was just reading a little bit ago on the LFP's that Gerry was telling someone that he won 10k on the Chair this year. Wasn't that the show that was hosted by John McEnroe? I think I watched part of it one time, but it was stupid.

If he doesn't stop showing his greed on this show he will end up on in the nomination chair.

I like Gerry and think if he shuts his mouth a bit he just might pull this off. Personally I think they all would be a fools not to go after Jason at some point soon, but he will have to convince someone to get rid of Dani first. Jason can beat them all in the end (which I wouldn't mind)if the evicted hgs get to see the tapes. In this game I have come to realize that you are much better off staying in the middle until you are down to 4 or 5. Those who are most hated in the beginning kind of fall into the middle once the ones who play the strongest get found out. But at the end if you are the most liked then you are the target like last year when they evicted Monica, which was smart. but then the one they thought they could beat in the end turned out to be the lessor of two evils and Nicole didn't even know it.

The question is, what do these casting people see in Gerry? It is hard to make it on one show, let alone 3! They must see something we don't. I don't hate the guy but he isn't my favorite either.

If you consider Big Brother to be a game show, then yes, this is his third.

Well Josh has been on two other shows too. The Fifth Wheel and Blind Date I believe he said. All I have to say to that is EWEEEEEEEE!

But think about it Floresmama. Both of those programs are "freak shows".

From the live feed posts this morning:

>>>>Jo recounting his experiences on Blind Date and how hey had him say and react to things then edited him to make him look like an Ass.<<<<<

They "edited" him to look like an ass? Now there's a no-brainer of a job.

When I saw this title in the list of threads, I swear it said, 'Gerry professional Wrestler contestant.'

Gerry was on shows which test your intelligence. Josh was on game shows that prove he needs help getting a date; what's not to understand?

The Josh thing is more understandable because those shows use the same people. I have seen quite a few of the same people show up on different dating shows- all while merely flipping through channels...lol. They are interchangable. I was addicted to these shows for about a month. It was the only thing on at 2am other than infomercials. That's my defense and I'm sticking to it.

Didn't Gerry say his wife works as a costume designer on some TV show? If so seems like he has an inside track.

Listening to Josh, Blind date...Roddy, writing script for movie, commerical for Desenex etc. seems like many already have ties in the business!!

My guess is that the pool of people in Gerry's age group applying to be on "BigBrother" is smaller than the group of 20-something hardbodies that the show really wants to feature. They need someone from the older set to make it look like the middle-aged crowd is represented to hook older viewers into the show. There just aren't that many middle-aged folks who have the leisure time (or accrued vacation time) in such a huge block and who could/would leave their families for such a long period.

Gerry's a teacher, so he has his summer off with pay anyway. I say pick a couple dozen school teachers and put them in the BB house next summer and let them compete for a half-million bucks. They have to be REAL teachers in real classrooms in public schools, though. This would be entertaining!

ger was talkin about he wants to do advert stuff for teachers and he mentioned dr. jocye brothers and her humble beginnings on a game show. so, i did a search and this and this is what i found from info please.com.

Brothers first gained national attention as a quiz show celebrity in the 1950s, winning both the $64,000 Question and the $64,000 Challenge in the category of “boxing.”

just thought it was interesting. is ger hoping to emulate her?

LOL! Oh Geezz.. That is just what the world needs, the Gerry version of Dr. Brothers. Why he could easily become the Rush Limbaugh of the New Agey, Pop Psychology set. Go Gerry Go!

A bit OT but I read in the LFP's Gerry's wife is out on disability. He was worried about his tax bracket after winning $10,000. Yesterday he talked about Roddy accusing Gerry of going for the 'big prize' and later Gerry told someone that second place would mess up his tax status. He'd have to hire someone to help him with all this. Not exactly earthshattering but a bit interesting.
