Maris | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:37 pm     Did anyone catch Danielle's face when Gerry started to give his mini speech about the tiebreaker. I swear I thought she would jump up and start yelling at him. she was rolling her eyes, putting that face on. Lisa looked like she was ready to just yell at him "spit it out" Anyone else notice that. |
Jhezzie | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:41 pm     Yeah, I saw Danielle, lol. I think she was sure he was going to boot Lisa. She kind of sighed in relief when he voted Eric. |
Pesto | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:42 pm     Another reason for Best Supporting Actress for Dani... she couldn't be happier see Eric drive away in his little red fire truck... Jason, runner up |
Cricket | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:13 pm     Yes, I noticed her too. It took a lot of self control for her to just turn her head away and take a deep breath. |
Bmh | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:15 pm     lol I know I saw it too..Danielle looked like she was gonna tear Gerry apart..but she was extremely relieved when he got rid of Eric..so it's all good now |
Thefunnyfarm | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:14 pm     I give Gerry allot of credit. He is the only one that has had the guts to do what really needs done in the game. The rest of them all want someone else to do the dirty work ... all of them.... ! This nomination needed to be made to break up the Kingdom - and Gerry was man enough to do it! Way to go Gerry! |
Spunky | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:42 pm     He kept his word and his cool too. I did notice Danielle and she was really anxious to hear "I vote to evict Eric". In the meantime I was watching Roddy and he didn't dare look up. I never saw anyone as pissed as Roddy was after eviction. And did you see Josh, walking away with his head down...or should I say, tail between his leg.. |
Cricket | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:43 pm     Didn't Gerry get a little nudge from Josh to do this? Josh want's the girlfriends out in the worst way. He'd love for Chiara to be gone because he adores Roddy. Why was Gerry afraid of Josh? Doesn't he realize Josh really has no power in that house? |
Halleb529 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:57 pm     If I remember correctly, Dani turned her head away from Gerry before he told his live eviction (as he was explaining things). To me, it appeared as though she was showing everyone else (except her partners in crime who know better) that she was turning "away" from Gerry subconciously as he told his choice-Dani was trying to show the others that she did not know his vote and was distancing herself from Gerry or that she knew his vote and disagreed with it-excellent job, Dani! Dani used her body language to indicate to Rod, Kiki, etc, that she was uncomfortable with Gerry-either she knew his choice and was against it, or she had no idea how Gerry would vote, and she was distancing herself from him, as she is not on his side. Dani did this knowing Gerry would be a target after he did the tie breaker, if Rod or Kiki got HOH. I want Jason to win, but I would not be disappointed if Dani takes the money-she is playing the best game. I can't wait for a staged Dani/Jason fight soon Halle |
Maris | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:59 pm     I didnt interpret it that way at all. I thought from her reaction and Lisas that they thought he was going to go into another long drawn out speech about Gerry and explaining his vote. That is why I thought she was pissed, she was expecting another soapbox speech. That is why she looked around at the others. |
Woofy | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:19 pm     Interesting how we each interpret things differently. My thought was that Dani turned away from Gerry (and rolled her eyes) when he mentioned "chess move" for the eleven-hundredth time. |
Wink | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:23 pm     Actually Woofy I think it was for about the seventy-fifth gazillionth time but who's counting? |
Woofy | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:24 pm     Wink ... I think you and I were counting LOL |
Ginger | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:30 pm     That's what I thought too, Woofy. That Dani just could not hear the chess move analogy one more time. I think Gerry was in a hard position--and he is not one who needs to be in a hard position! Because he was the tie breaker, it's like he voted Eric out single-handedly instead of simply the fourth vote for Eric. And of course he doesn't even have the benefit of Lisa being grateful because she is so connected to Eric. Poor Gerry! He gets on my nerves, but man, what bad luck. I liked Eric, but I think Gerry made a great choice as far as the game is concerned. |
Tj2353 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 11:14 pm     I am in agreement with Woofy & Ginger...Gerry had a job to do and she just wanted him to GET ON WITH IT ALREADY...chess-smesh...Eric or Lisa...'and if you say Lisa, I will hurt you, badly' .LOL. BUT...as far as "Poor Gerry!"...Hello! He wanted to be HOH...Gotta take the bad with the good. |
Sunnyone | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:22 am     Did anyone transcript his speech? It was my birthday and my mother in law chose THAT TIME to call me. (Love her dearly so i had to answer it) BUT I MISSED what he said! Can anyone help? Thanks! |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:38 am     >>That Dani just could not hear the chess move analogy one more time.<< Granted Gerry does like to hear himself talk, but, he was well-aware he was on live tv -- the chess analogy picked up his theme from nominations and Gerry prolly felt it would tie up all loose ends if reiterated it before voting out Eric. The tv viewers haven't heard the chess thing ad nauseum as Dani/we have. Oh no, now I've gone and defended Gerry! I want Jason or Dani to win!!! |
Cajunrambler | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 08:00 am     Why is everybody so down on Gerry for using a "chess game" mentality? Most of them nominate or vote out of spite and retaliation or for personal reasons. Gerry plays the game with strategy. He may be the smartest one in the house, but nobody gives him credit. If Chiara would have stuck by her girl and not stabbed her in the back, Gerry wouldn't have had to make the deciding vote. |
Shadowkat | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 08:19 am     Regardless of what anyone thinks about Gerry on a personal level, I think everyone, including the hgs, should THANK him. He's the only one willing to do the dirty work, and he does it openly. He has used his "powers" (of Veto and HOH) and tried to get out the people who he perceives are the biggest threats. He obviously isn't going to win a popularity contest in the house, but that's not why he's there. While I admire how other hgs are playing the game by "flying under the radar", if it weren't for Gerry, they'd be playing a different game. |
Bandmom | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 08:23 am     Cajun, I totally agree with you! His vote to evict Eric was in HIS best interest and he had the guts to do what needed to be done, which is more than you can say for most of the others. |
Foodbunny | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 08:48 am     I have no problem with Gerry treating the game like a chess game, I just never want to hear the words "chess move" or even just "chess" come out of his mouth EVER AGAIN. He's used up his quota. |
Ginger | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 08:50 am     I completely agree with you, Shadowcat. The HGs should thank Gerry for doing the dirty work...and yet they don't. It's so odd how much they all seem to dispise him. And Cajunrambler, I agree with you too. I myself am not down on Gerry's chess analogy--I think it's a good analogy, actually--but for some reason the HGs act like he's horrible for comparing chess to the BB game. They seem to be in this state of mind where they are down on anything that originates from Gerry. |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 09:02 am     Ginger, that sound right to me. Even his veto speech shows he was wrong about something and wanted to reform -- yet it only brought him hate, not sympathy. If Gerry surgically scrubbed his hands 50 times a day, removed all the dead skin from his feet and moisturized, cleaned house from top to bottom, never shared another opinion or Shakespeare quote, and agreed with everything everyone else said -- they'd still hate him. Each one feels if all the hatred is piled on Gerry, they remove themselves from being a focus and are somehow less likely to attacked themselves. What a shame they can't read our boards! (hehehe) |
Reiki | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 10:10 am     Dani may have been worried (as I was) that in the chess analogy the smarter move would have been to remove "the queen". Until Gerry said Eric's name I thougt he would use this as an excuse to evict Lisa. Even Lisa mentioned this later to Roddy. What Lisa doesn't realize is that she is not the queen - Chaira is. Not sure if this makes Lisa a rook or just a pawn. |
Cmc209 | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 11:37 am     lol - yeah, it was funny. As soon as Gerry starting making the chess comment it looked like she was going to spaz out when I saw her arm jump. |
