I just read the exit interview of Eric. His big problem was not knowing the time.
I think Gerry has made it a priority. He gets up around the same time everyday. Goes to bed the same time.
LFP will agree when they ask him what time it is he can call it.
I think its a strategy of sorts. No he's not the house favorite but he really knows his time

Gerry is very smart. These young bozo's are still of the mindset that older people are just around to ruin their fun, instead of paying attention and learning something.
We all know Eric is not smart enough to have availed himself of anything Gerry would have to say. Eric was not interested in Gerry's sundial, while he was on summer break. Eric says the way to win the game is just what he did and he's gone. I rest my case!!

It is too bad Fuzzy, that he does not seem to know when it is time to wash his clothes, or time to wash his hands, or time to take a proper shower with soap, or time to step off the soapbox. This is the misuse of time, that will bite him in is butt. ewwww.......

I'm sorry I disagree with the Gerry cleanliness thing. They have done studies on the # of people who actually was thier hands in a public restroom and the numbers are low.
These people are so fake they act like they are clean.
My example? Lisa's butt sore.
I just think its brilliant he is so up on time and it seems to be a big problem for the other houseguests.

I think Gerry IS intelligent and is using it to great advantage. In addition, he is well-educated, articulate, and clever enough to not play into those stupid little juvenile snits the others are involved in. For instance, they decided to not talk to him because he strategically brought Marcelles back in. He probably was just as glad, because I think those undereducated mall-crawlers have brains as plastic as their bodies and, with the exception of Roddy, don't have much to say that would interest a bright person like Gerry.
And they have all made a big deal of laughing at Roddy for actually saying something intelligent. It's too bad Gerry and Roddy can't sit down and talk to eash other, but Roddy so clearly thinks he is the King of the plastic people, he can't take the time to find value in Gerry. His loss.

Catfat, I agree with you 100%...For being an incredibly HATED houseguest, he has managed to outlast some of the more popular ones. ei, Eric. He was even MORE hated after his last HOH stint and they still chose to put up Josh over him. He must be doing something right. As for being clean/dirty, I do think its gross that he didn't wash his hands before making dinner and after pottey, but I think he is at least making an effort now. But his cleanliness has nothing to do with strategy and playing the game. I am sure if we all knew how many ickies we've consumed from fast food and resturants we'd never eat out again. Its gross, but its life.

It depends on what you mean by Smart, book smart yes -- people smart I dont think so. Gerry and Roddy both share one attribute which is that their egos get in the way of seeing things too clearly.

Today at the table Dani is telling Gerry that there are a lot of people that have is back and if anyone tells him different do not believe him. She says she is not lying about this and he should believe her. (Remember last night Dani and Chiarra talking about how much Gerry smells?)Gerry says oh I know that, Josh tried to tell me that all the women wanted me out and hated me but I know that isn't true. I am the least threatening male in the house, they dont hate me.

Gerry's ego will get in the way of accepting reality. He can understand why Josh hates him because he rationalizes that Josh resents his intelligence and age. Gerry would never believe or accept that Marcellas hates him or that Danielle is disgusted by him. He will be shocked when he is voted out.

[DISCLAIMER: Sometimes I use the words "baby," "honey" and "precious" in my writing. It is my writing style. It is not meant to be condescending or demeaning (as some have misinterpreted)].

I agree. Honey, I think Gerry is quite intelligent and I'm here to tell you I much prefer to listen to him over Mr Macho (Rod) who TRIES to appear intelligent. Maybe one day Rod will learn that you don't need to be a conversation monopolizer, talk loudly, act in an arrogant know-it-all manner in order for people to realize that one is quite bright. Gerry's obviously learned that years ago. I don't hear Gerry saying "like" and "I'm like" every other word as does Mr Macho.

And I know this will cause me to get in trouble because some people on this board talk like this but I'm going to say it anyway:

I don't hear Gerry saying: I'm am like totally SOOOOOOO not interested in such and such. Precious, isn't that the most awkward-sounding sentence structure you've ever heard? I was taught to say: I'm not interested in that at all. None of this soooooo and totally and like stuff. Isn't English/grammer taught any longer in schools? Oh, I know it's trendy to talk that way in some quarters but to me honey it sounds like someone hasn't been properly educated. Sounds a bit illiterate. Y'all take it easy.

Veranda,
But Gerry will just start quoting Shakespeare or whoever over top someone speaking. It sounds out of context and is not a part of any conversation but like a lecture.

Sorry but I think that they both have oversized egos.

If you listen to what they all say not just Gerry and Roddy have inflated egos..

You are right Earthmother that is why they all have meltdowns when they are nominated. On a rational level they understand that each week two people have to be nominated but THEM??? never!!!!!!
