The way Gerry is working out so hard, and sometimes for a long time, in the hot sun, with sometimes just PBJ for a week, and as over weight and out of shape as he is, on top of his breathing problem, I'm just waiting for him to collaspe. Surley BB is keeping a eye on his health.
Has BB ever forbidded a HG of doing anything, that could possible be harmful to himself?
Not counting the Justin thing.

Teresah2000: The screening process for the houseguests is extremely thorough including both psychological and physical examinations prior to admittance into the house. In fact, the only way Gerry would have been allowed his sleeping 'machine' would have to have been under orders from a Doctor. I have every confidence that they are keeping a close eye on everyones health and well-being in the house.

JMO - FWIW

Bmh...really, he could have a stoke or something, I have no dout that he is healthy, but a normal over weight man, suddenly working out as hard and long as he is, and with a unhealthy diet, thats not healthy or safe.

Mr.D, I don't trust BB's screening process, though.
Remember all the nut jobs they missed last year?

Gerry seemed to have gotten on the show with some "help", perhaps BB is trusting in his matureness to take care of himself? Hopefully his wife who knows him a lot better(and likely to have been take care of too many things for him),would pay attention to the situation. I imagine she'd have a life feed to check in on him, plays tape of Gerry's portion over and over again, PLUS she or their children could be reading message boards all the time!

Gerry's family better know when to Make BB do something.
It's great he's been working hard though, wish I'd have some determinations. I used to force myself to move about at least while I'm watching tv, ever since I had the PC, I've been sitting on my bottom way too much....

I really don't think Gerry is in any danger. Has he complained at all? If not I wouldn't worry.

His complaint that he thought he was allergic to the grass as he was having trouble breathing raised my flags. One doesnt develop a spontaneous allergy to grass.

The doctors did keep a close eye on Lisa's behind. I knew I should have been a doctor.

One could develop an allergy to something they put on the grass to keep it pretty green for the cameras

well Cajun having seen the injury, being a doctor in that situation would definitely be no great shakes. trust me the only descriptive I can come up with is ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Ryan, WTF? Where have you been, boy? We've been busy 'round here. Speaking of medical conditions (let's leave your brain out of this), how's your jaw?

I am looking at Gerry right now and I am trying to figure if the guy is alive. he is laying down staring up but not blinking. Visions of that friends episode where they stuck the pole out the window and poked the ugly naked guy in the butt keeps popping into my head. Oh Oh, big release of air, last gasp?????????????

I'm around, just been lurking a little bit. Nothing good to say. My jaw is fine, although I do have a question for anyone who has been through this. I'll post it in my folder so as not to go OT.

I have to say that Gerry was looking quite a bit healthier tonight. Maybe it is just the tan, but I did think he was looking a lot better than the pasty white Gerry of the first few weeks.

I have heard BB on several occassions remind the hgs (during lockouts and competitions) to remember it is hot outside and make sure they take and drink plenty of water.

So, if they're reminding them not to dehydrate, I'd figure (and hope!) that they keep an eye on the exercise Gerry does for any problems he might have.

Y'all don't forget... you know that itty bitty microscope that we use to view the antics of the HGs? Well, they've got a really BIG one on the lot, plus magnifying glasses. Plus a doctor on call, if not one on site.

I don't think WE need to worry about Gerry's health. Er, at least his PHYSICAL health!

Gerry has talked about his severe allergies a couple of times, saying that is why he is always coughing and sniffling. I'm pretty sure he is on Claritin
