Inkydinkyspider | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 04:25 pm     I am so sick of hearing Eric and others going on about Gerry and his cleanliness. The other night Eric went to WC came out and didn't wash his hands! They do not act like any adults I know. Their behaviour is very childish and I am getting sick of it. Gerry has tried to be polite and respectful and he has turned his other cheek to these uneducated, disrepectful, ill mannered humanoids. I hope Gerry's family realizes that most individuals do not think the same as these house guests do. They don't know how to play a game and therefore resort to smutty talk and rude remarks. Gerry...here's to you...hopefully you, the best man, will win! |
Bunyun | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 04:31 pm     I think I am on the same page as you! It's a good thing that Gerry has good manners! I don't think I would have had half the control as he has about the children. Although, sometimes they do have a point, but to drag it across the floor is another thing. Besides, they never get up early enough to watch Gerry take showers, wash his clothes etc. I certainly have seen some pretty gross stuff with the rest of the bunch,zit picking, sitting on the counter or lazy susan wearing just a string. But thats OK huh? He who casts the first stone......... |
Teresah2000 | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 04:33 pm     I agree with you all the way... I'm so sick and tired of them talking down Gerry all the time, the things they say he does that gross them out, they turn around and do the same thing, Lisa and Kiki, have their hands all over Roddy and Eric, then turn around and touch food. You have to remember, the ones that are whinning, are mostley 20 something, (I'm not dishing the 20 crowd) but they think they rule the world. |
Inkydinkyspider | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 04:34 pm     Right Bunyun...and what about Chiara calling Dani into the bathroom to see how large her bowel movement was! That is so totally gross! BB should insist they all start getting up earlier and their eyes would be wide open as to what Gerry does in the early morning hours..(and he's not squeezing zits either!)Go Gerry Go! |
Bunyun | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 04:37 pm     I wonder if Gerry is ever going to "unload" on these people. It sure would give me pleasure to see their faces when he tells them what slobs THEY are!!!!!! |
Keiffer | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 04:45 pm     I mentioned this idea on another thread and was told that there are nicer ways in wchich to accomplish this goal but: If there is enough "hate Gerry" sentiment created in the house then all the other HG's that are in the house Friday will feel safer. There will be huge pressure on the next HoH to put Gerry up for eviction, and if he is put up whoever goes against him will feel prety safe. Or at least as safe as you can when you are on the block. It is all about self preservation. You may not like the methods but every HG (including your favorites) will be in the house an extra week for it. |
Pamy | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 04:51 pm     I agree. They have treated Gerry horrible!! and Gerry has never done anything to them. Before he was HOH and they all ignored him, he never complained, just did his own thing and didn't bother anyone. I hope he goes far! His students should feel very proud, he is setting a great example.

Inkydinkyspider | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 04:53 pm     Keiffer...are you saying that Gerry knows about what is being said and that possibly Danni and Marc are working the others so if anyone is put up against Gerry they will be safe and yet will ultimately be voted out? I would hate to see Gerry allowing himself to be treated that way unless it is just Danni and Marc who are into this. I don't mind the houseguests until they start on about Ger being dirty. Their motto is "do as I say not as I do" as they are far worse. I worry Gerry's family may be hurting while watching all of this and just don't think it is a fair way to play the game...use intelligence not nastiness. After today I really want Eric gone! I'm glad I don't have to work with him on a daily basis. I'd quit my job! |
Fix2scream | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 04:58 pm     I agree with ya'll. Earlier Mar was going on and on about how Gerry just came in and starting using the pan that Mar was using to make pancakes! They are getting a little picky (pun intended). Poor Gerry. I'd rather sit and talk to him than Chiara. Someone needs to use a little soap in her mouth if you ask me. |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 04:59 pm     I haven't been on the feed today, so missed out on the Gerry bashing. The only person who doesn't seem to engage in Gerry bashing is Roddy (correct me if I'm wrong). Gerry bashing may be the one thing that all the HGs have in common. At this point Eric must be doing even more it because he's mad he's on the block. What can be done though? It's not like the hgs are going to change their behavior. |
Keiffer | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 05:07 pm     Inky I do not propose that Gerry is "in" on it. In fact it would work against him. I am saying that every HG in that house has an interest in Gerry looking as bad as possible. The worse nother HG looks the better you look. |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 05:17 pm     Unfortunately, 'ageism' is a fact of life. In my own personal experience, it is younger people who have the hardest time understanding people who are older than they are. This is a weakness, as all prejudices are. I'm not exactly a Gerry defender, but he's easily put in the category of 'outsider' merely because he is older. This fact of life needs to be dealt with, and I'm not sure that he is dealing with it all that well. |
Gouraphik | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 05:21 pm     The flaw with the "smear" strategy is that it can backfire. Just as with Josh, "dirty, annoying" Gerry is being kept around to serve the other HG's purposes...mainly because he's seen as being "bad". Whether he's being used as a shield or as somebody to look good against at the end, this sort of plan tends to keep the HG in question around longer. Not to mention that it makes the smearer look petty and cruel, like when Josh called Gerry a Nazi. Mudslinging just tends to get everybody dirty in the end. |
Bunyun | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 05:32 pm     It amazes me how self centered several of the houseguests are. The " we are the good people" thing. And Gerry is a "bad person" Whinning about voting out the good people and badmouthing someone so badly, and turning around and saying that THEY are good, makes them in my eyes look pretty dog gone .... well poopy! |
Bbholden | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 05:34 pm     First time poster here so please be kind. The first two shows, I was sure was scripted right to when to laugh and when to look at the camera. By the third show I discovered this board and decided I was nuts and it was all my imagination. Now after reading this site on a daily basis, watching the live feeds and watching the show, I am back to my first thoughts. What is with all the "this will make good tv" "the internet is watching" and especially the honeymoon, scripted right down to the condoms on the side table? I feel cheated. If we are watching actors playing roles, then ok, but let me know. If we are watching real people, no scripts, then where did they find these people? They are not likeable in the least. I liked Lori, she's gone. I liked Amy, she's gone. I thought that if this were a game, and the opponents were being voted off, then what is with the unbridled hatred for these past houseguests? What mentality is it that can shred a human right in front the eyes of America, and that person's family? When Amy left, she more or less said, hey I guess it was me, and I do not hold anything against the others. You had to feel bad for her because she was playing a game, but these others meant all they said. Even her friend Marci has continued to bash her after she is gone. I feel sorry for Gerry. These people are not playing any game. These people have deep seated psychological problems. Women acting like little girls, giggling and trying to be oh so cute, when in reality they are embarassing. Men vulgar and crude and obviously treating women as objects. Everything done for the camera. When Amy left, the only real person left. Gerry is real also, but he is being lead around by the popular folks. He will fold in order to be popular. I hope I am wrong. |
Keiffer | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 05:40 pm     Ocean, I do believe that "ageism" is alive and well. In fact I am sure that if you put a bunch of people Gerry's age or older into the house they would have comments concerning the one or two younger people in the house. Commenting on how stupid youth are today, how things were so much better when they were young. I can't think of how many times I have heard "older" people go on and on about the youth in America today are spoiled, or selfish, or lazy, or what have you. |
Cousin_Jake | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 05:48 pm     Yes Keiffer .... and the younger ones in this house seem to be proving the point eh? |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 05:50 pm     Keiffer, that's BS. By the time someone "grows up" and reaches the age of Gerry, the obnoxious arrogant smugness is usually kept under control. I have not ever seen a group of older people giggling and pointing at someone who does not fit in. Keiffer, it's called manners. And being tactful. Something which the majority of those houseguests lack (Chiara is a prime example). |
Whit4you | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 05:53 pm     Bbholden...welcome... As far as it being scripted...you think? When do they rehearse? those short FOTH's are the rehearsles for the next 24 hours of script for 10 people? There are 'scripted' things..and loosely scripted things and then there is BB. There's simply no way they could possibly script 10 people 24/7 day after day week after week you know? I mean even for a 3 hour play it takes months and month's of rehearsles to do a 'live show' (which is what we see 24/7 on the feeds. The SHOW of course is scripted it's a TV show and they pick out the bits and peices they want the TV audience to see ... they take the bits and pieces said throught the 24 hour days and paste them in whatever fashion they wish to suit their idea of a 'good show' - I personally find the TV show better this year then any other year....and the live feeds worse this year then any other year. The 'set-up' visually speaking for their date was 'scrpited' I suppose by the HG's and BB - but their hours of talking was not scripted... |
Whit4you | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 05:57 pm     Keiffer " I can't think of how many times I have heard "older" people go on and on about the youth in America today are spoiled, or selfish, or lazy, or what have you. " Um ya I remember hearing the same thing when 35 years ago when I was young.. and I imagine my grandmother could say the same thing lol. But having been on both sides of this coin - I can say that a group of 40ish people will USUALLY try and make a 20ish year old feel welcome and included and so on... but I don't see that as often the other way around. |
Earthmother | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 05:59 pm     When this show started they immediatly started bashing Gerry, whether it was his age or weight, who knows? They only really let up on him for a few days when they were kissing his ass. Some posters have gone out on a limb since week one saying that what they were doing is wrong, and it's nice to see so many now supporting the more mature player, not by age but by example. I think their biggest fear is that Gerry is a man of principle which is frightning to them. The only one I truly believe would put Gerry up to have him evicted right now is Eric and Lisa. The others trust each other much less than they trust Gerry, but they aren't willing to let each other know that, therefore they join in the bash fest. If some feel that they have tainted others against Gerry so they can take him to the end with them and win, I think they have dug their own graves. It's one thing to sit among yourselves and bash but when you get to see yourself and others on tape in all it's ugliness Gerry may well come off the winner. |
Pamy | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 06:03 pm     Welcome BBholden..when I saw your name it reminded me of Bill Holden and now all I keep hearing is Lucy saying 'Bill Holden! Bill Holden!!
 |
Bbholden | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 06:38 pm     My real last name is Holden and since I have become a closet BB3 fan, I thought it would work. I'm going to figure out how you all have those little smiles in your posts so that I can smile back at you. |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 06:43 pm     BBh, click on Clipart at the top of the page. I'll give you instructs on how to insert a bunch of 'em... |
Braveheart61901 | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 07:18 pm     I think Danielle's comment tonight about Gerry's feet was really low. She's not as classy as I once thought she was. Can someone tell me what HRD stands for? I see it everywhere on the board and then briefly tonight on the show I saw it again. |
