Rnr60 | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 11:35 pm     Add me to the list too. This is going beyond the game. |
Wendo | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 11:58 pm     So glad to see people adding their name to this thread. Think what you will about Gerry, the villification he is receiving from the other HG's is downright cruel. OMG, here it is 2:01am Chicago time, and Dani & Mar were talking, again, about Gerry. I gotta tell ya, if I ever run into Marcellas here in Chicago, I'm marching up to this man (though he hasn't ACTED like a man) and telling him his behavior toward Gerry was abominable. I'll slap HIM silly. (not really, but you get my drift.) |
Ruditoo | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 01:36 am     Add ME Too. And A.S. how about a locked GRIPE BOX ,anonymous only, in the BBH ? I can see several twists you could do with that. Concealing one's identity or counterfeit anothers. So let them air their complaints,maybe 'the voice' could read them out loud,then watch and see.... |
Hosewater | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 01:45 am     Danielle and Marcellas remind me of Jerry Seinfeld, not the real person but as he played himself on TV.... Jerry on the TV show was a neat nut, to such an extreme that he would break up with girlfriends over hygiene, throw away perfectly good kitchen utensils because Kramer scratched his back with them, wouldn't kiss a woman who brushed her teeth with a toothbrush that fell in the toilet. Etc... The point is that as Jerry played himself that way, it was meant to be a joke. People should not be that way in real life. Marcellas and Danielle are NOT normal. |
Ppurr | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 05:25 am     add my name to the list too. enough is enough. it's time to put a stop to the gerry bashing! |
Shadowkat | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 06:46 am     Wendo, I'm in the Chicago area too and although I loved the Amy/Marcelles comedies, his ranting about Gerry is getting VERY old. I'd like to tell he and Dani to either grow up and confront Gerry, or shut up about it! Can't we all just get along??? |
Fix2scream | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 06:48 am     You can count me in. My heart goes out to Gerry's family. I would be livid if they would be doing this to my husband or father. |
Chipster | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 07:02 am     Add me. I'm disgusted with what they're doing with Gerry. |
Jan | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 07:04 am     Add my name enthusiastically to the list. I have always been a Marc/Dani fan but this constant, sometimes unwarranted, Gerry bashing has me seriously considering my fanship. I may have to switch to Jason..at least he tries to stop the worst of their excesses. and I HATE the zit popping. How they can think that is good hygiene and blast gerry for his hygiene has me stymied. |
Dfwteddy | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 07:05 am     Add me to the petition! This is the first year I found this site, so it is possible the posters here represent a small percentage of the actual viewers. I'm glad the TV expisodes haven't focused on this childishness -- that would be cruel and malicious. It is possible/probable MOST Americans are not even aware of this controversy. Though Gerry should have been aware of the backstabbing that goes on in this game (I think I read in one of the threads that one of the hamsters said they got videos of last year's competition), nevertheless his family probably has the live feeds and this has got to hurtful to them. For their sake, I hope BB does something to reign in this behavior. |
Mollywood | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 07:05 am     ARNIE. Please have a clip show of their bad habits. this is so unfair to have them gang up on g when they are even more disgusting. not only are their habits dispicable but their behavior is sickening too. g never speaks badlyl about anyone, and im sick that his family is being subjected to this Lord of the Flies cruelty..make them all see themselves..id love to see that pompous ass Mar looking at himself. i find him and his white bathrobe, disturbing. |
Wiseolowl | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 07:05 am     Add my name too please..would never have thought this a few days ago but I'm just about at the point now where I'd like him to win this game - to quote the Bard " a pox on all your houses. " |
Rod | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 07:06 am     add my name. They ALL disgust me with this-behind-the-back bashing. Maybe we should all start pushing for a Gerry win. |
Jaxrock | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 07:24 am     I agree with those of you who suggest that all of the HG's hygiene infractions be put on the plasma screen. Isn't if funny that it's usually those things that I don't like about myself that are all I see in someone else? Like, since I sing, loudly and with gestures, in the car, I tend to notice that in other people. |
Jaxrock | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 07:28 am     PS-add me to the petition...and if the HG's were told last year to watch their language, where is the Language Censor this year??? Talk is much worse than last year, IMHO |
Kmjm | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 07:44 am     Count me in! I'm sick of the bashing too. |
Kimsuetoo | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 07:45 am     ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF THEM (MAR & DAN) TRYING TO VALIDATE IN THERE OWN MINDS THAT THEY WILL NOMINATE HIM NEXT ROUND BECAUSE OF HIS BAD HABITS. WHEN IN FACT HE HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL IN THE GAME SO FAR. IF IT IS TIME, THEN IT IS HIS TIME BUT DON'T HUMILIATE HIM IN THE PROCESS. EVERY MEMBER OF THIS HOUSE HAS GROSS OR OBNOXIOUS HABITS. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD DOES. AS MY MAMMA WOULD SAY "AIN'T ANY ONE OF US, ON THIS HERE EARTH, PERFECT." SOMEONE PLEASE HAVE THE DOCTOR IN TO TELL THEM TO QUIT POPPING THOSE ZITS. ANY TEENAGER KNOWS THAT IS NOT THE HEALTHYEST WAY TO DEAL WITH THEM AND THEY MAKE FOR GROSS T.V. TIME (THE GROSSEST) |
Wiseolowl | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:09 am     Again Jason is getting a free pass because he just says nothing or walks away-- taking Gerry quietly aside and gently letting him know that rightly or wrongly he's becoming a target over all of this would be the humane, compassionate , if you like "Christian" thing to do - it would cost him nothing in the play of the game unless seeing an injustice done to weaken another player is within his moral paramaters and part of his stategy..if it is , his stock goes way down. I suspect he has lived a rather protected, somewhat privileged life so far , and he is young. This is an opportunity for him to expand his moral growth . Hope he steps up to the plate..he's not a "kid" let's see if he's a man. |
Willsmom | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:12 am     Add me to the list as well. I cannot wait for Mar/Dani to get out and see that we are not as grossed out as they think America is. It's just uncomfortable to watch them bash him. Gerry reminds me of my dad in so many ways. Not that my dad doesn't drive me crazy, but there are worse things to be. Their behavior is just childish...it's like the old "cooties" on the playground thing. Enough already! |
Woodpecke® | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:15 am     I think Jason is thinking of winning the money and sees no reason to confront this group of petty nitpickers. Gerry's habits are simply not worth Jason's time. He is not there to lecture a 51 year old man on personal responsibility. No moral issue here. He chooses to mind his own business and concentrate on how he can best use the cash. Let Gerry deal with his own problems. |
Crazydog | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:30 am     I recognize I am in the great minority here, because I think Gerry's habits are disgusting. I know there are a lot of people here that don't like how the others are treating Gerry, but the intensity of the anti-everyonetalkingaboutGerry feelings are really strong. I just don't think it is realistic to expect the producers to see this thread and say something to the others. They are not doing anything wrong, they are stating their opinions about a houseguest, and there is no reason to believe they are going to be physically violent towards Gerry. The situation is very different from the knife incident with Justin. Everyone in the house talks about each other behind their back. Gerry has chosen to place himself in that environment. I recognize that all of them have bad habits, but I don't see why everyone here should complain that they don't like seeing others talking about Gerry's. It shows the dynamic of the house. If Gerry was better liked I am sure they wouldn't be talking about it as much. I don't like Gerry. If he appears on the feed I am watching, I switch feeds. If you are watching people dissing Gerry and you don't like it, then switch feeds. I just don't think it's anyone's right here to try to influence what the houseguests say about each other. Every time I see people come out of the WC I am reminded of that Far Side cartoon where a guy comes out of a public bathroom and a sign above the entrance/exit is blinking "Didn't Wash Hands". Given the intense feelings over germs and how everyone dislikes seeing the houseguests talk about someone's hygiene, I suggest that for BB4, each houseguest's microphone is equipped with a tiny alarm. Every time someone does something that is unclean, the producers who are monitoring the cameras should activate the alarm until that person washes hands or showers. That would certainly end all debate and bickering! |
Wiseolowl | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:49 am     Woodpecker you may be right.. if so maybe we shouldn't be sending in this petition. Shapiro's only interest is to get good ratings and make money too. Gerry's habits and the fact he's being bashed unjustly by the others are not worth his time either. It just sort of bothers me sometimes when Jason gets kudos and popularity for his moral behavior over and above the other players - if he deserves credit and popularity for it - then speak, hear and see no evil just doesn't cut it for me as a reason for ranking him above the rest ..just an opinion |
Maris | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:50 am     I am with yu there Crazydog. When people applied to go to the BB house they certainly had to know what they were getting into. I dont understand the whole sentiment of "Think of these peoples families and their children". They should have thought of that before exposing themselves to the microscope of live feeds and the BB house. I also don't recall an outpouring of sympathy for Tonya's children or Lori's children when they were being criticized for their behavior and leakages. I find it very interesting that on the boards there is great sympathy for the middle aged man with children on the boards yet divorced women with children dont seem to earn the same sympathy if you will. These people, all of them chose to go to BB and expose their families to this stuff, not the board posters. I am pleased to note that Gerry washed his blue shorts this morning. |
Marymc | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:52 am     add my name too...i find armpits WAY less offensive than pus. |
Niceguy | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:56 am     A happy day it will be when Chiara, Danielle and Marcellus are shown the tapes of their own bad habits and they are no longer in the running for the 500K. |
