Dang, you people with the "clean thing" need to RE-LAX. There's nothing wrong with washing clothes, etc. in a kitchen sink if you take the time to clean the sink when you're done. Big F-cking Deal.

There's nothing wrong with Gerry, the others just think they're better than him and that gives them their "permission" to rag on him like no other. In addition, I've seen each HG practice the same hygiene practices as Gerry, they're not above reproach, though they think they are.

What they all need is a lesson on being human.

Ok i think what Gerry did with his underwear in the sink is discusting... Now maybe it isnt SO bad if you do it at home because you live with your family but when your living with others that to me is totally discusting and gerry is a pig pig pig... How proud his family must be of the oinker!!!!!!!!

Earthmother---so true. All my friends with germ phobias are always suffering from one aliment or another. Allergies, tummy upsets etc.

In my household we are clean, but not crazed clean freaks--baby's bottoms sat in my kitchen sink etc---but we are rarely sick.

Wendo..I agree with Kittykatt..if it is your family that is cool..cuz your use to them..but he shouldn't be washing his dirty underwear in the sink..a sink that is used by 8 other people that are basically strangers to him...you dont wash dirty underwear with strangers!..That is just nasty..yuck the more I think about it..the grosser Gerry gets Im starting to see the other hg's point..god BB people should have taught Gerry how to clean himself before he walked into the place

Okay all you clean nuts---I am now going to change your mind about where you brush your teeth.....and just think/ all of you have been living with this all your life!!!

When the toilet is flushed little tiney tiney water particles are forced into the air--if the toilet water was poop in it--so will the water particles. They settle upon all the surfaces of the bathroom---toothbrushes, the taps, the water glass you use to rinse with.

Closing the lid to the toilet does NOT prevent the water particles from being force out --just a slightly different direction.

SO ---all of you are disgusting nasty pigs--for having your toothbrushes in the bathroom

Ok..Battlestar you are getting too technical..there is no reason for Gerry to wash his dirty shirts and dirty underwear in the sink..find a good reason..and I might consider it..but that is nasty..cant he wash his clothes like everybody else??

One day when I was in Tempe, AZ I was sitting on a bench, which I'm sure was dirty, and this woman was walking to an ATM telling her friend about how she uses that anit-bacterial hand Purell stuff all the time and she's so freaked out about germs. Then I watched her go to the ATM, push the dirty buttons, and take out the dirty cash. Did she clean her hands? Nope! You simply cannot avoid germs and you live. You touch doorknobs, handrails, mini-golf clubs, etc and you are touching imperfect items that are not sanitary.

Ryan (and others) are right- people overdo the antibacterial stuff and it makes bacteria stronger and you weaker (similar to only taking half your antibiotics- it creates stronger strains). Why do we get sick from water in other counries but the people who live there can drink it? We have been so antiseptic that we have weakened our immunities.

When I was a kid I played outside, got dirty, put stuff in my mouth, etc. I'm fine. Babies today are often so hawked over that they will never get to experience a lot of the stuff that I did. And you know what else- this is gonna turn stomachs for sure around here- I do sometimes adhere to the 5 second rule depending upon the surface the food has landed on and what the food is!!!!

I don't think there is anything that Gerry can do that would meet with the HGs approval. They are damned and determined to dislike him, and will look for any excuse.

I actually felt extremely sorry for Gerry on last night's show; he said he missed his wife and he was talking about his home and how much HUMOR is in it.

So, last night, he tries to inject a little levity into the house, and (no pun intended) Marcellas goes ape-sh1t.

And yes, I was my delicates in Woolite in my kitchen sink. I wash my hands in the sink. And, when a cat has taken over the bathroom sink, I've even brushed my teeth in the kitchen sink. I wash the sink out on a regular basis. I disinfect the sink every time I rinse or cut up chicken. I put fruits and veggies into a strainer to rinse.

Caveat: I do live alone. And for some silly reason, one of my kids loves to curl up in the bathroom sink.

Bigbrotherbelle -- if you don't want to eat any fecal matter and you aren't a vegetarian you need to become one quick, because every type of meat on the face of the earth has some type of fecal matter on it (not just ground beef)!

Battlestar -- you make me lmao.

Battlestar --haha-- I do think about that but mostly in public bathrooms! I don't want that stuff spraying my butt (esp. public where the flush is more powerful) so I always get my pants up and hold my breath while facing away and flushing with my foot.

And after I wash my hands I push the door open with my elbow or sleeve. Then I proceed to touch stuff throughout the store or wherever I am...heehee.

Technically--every toothbrush that is kept in a bathroom with a toilet is covered with fecal matter.


Gerry's rinsing of his socks and underwear in the sink is most likely a habit that he has been doing for all of his life. My father use to wash his every night also--as he had been doing since he was a boy.

If his habits are offensive to someone---they need to politely let him know--not sit around in little circles and gossip

Hey all, look - Gerry may be getting bashed over much in the house - however, he can be condesending.

I think this condesension is really, really grating on Marc. Marc doesn't like the fact that Gerry 'saved' him. Marc doesn't like the fact that Gerry called Marc is protege. Marc doesn't like the fact that Gerry can act like a know-it-all some of the time. Marc doesn't like the fact that Gerry thinks he is in a big alliance with Marc.

I think Marc has a ligitimate beef here, but only here....

I wish they would stop bashing Gerry, but his personallity is not always the easiest to take. Maybe they find it easier to rage against imagined cleanliness issues, then face the other issues.

I wonder if Marc can find a good way of pointing some of his legitimate beefs with Gerry out to Gerry? This is something I suck at - but tactful pointers can be helpful. It would be nice if he could do it tactfully.

I think Gerry really is on Dani and Marc's side. He's a pretty decent guy, a few tactful pointers will only make him that much easier to get along with...

I think we (the posters) become like the hgs... when we get bored with what's going on, we find something to discuss, and we blow things out of proportion. I'm certainly tired of listening to the hgs talk about Gerry's sanitation issues, but I think we can be accused of beating this issue into the ground just like the hgs. IMO FWIW

Did anyone see what Chiara did with the PB on last nites show? She made a sandwich then licked the spoon, then made another sandwich using the same spoon!!! YOu would think the BB people would tell her something, cuz now her saliva is in that jar of PB, and we all are pretty sure where her mouth has been!

When I go to a restaurant I absolutely cannot place my utensils on top of the bare table or booth. They must be placed on a napkin or plate or anything other than the bare table. The reason is because the table-cleaner-uppers use the same cleaning rags to wipe off the chairs/booths as they do the tables, and in no particular order. Therefore, every table is covered with buttjuice from being wiped off the chairs and redistributed on the table. I hate buttjuice.

Other than that little teeny tiny obsession I'm just another dirty filthy pig like most of the rest of you. A dirty filthy pig who rarely gets sick and who most likely regularly but unknowingly ingests fecal matter.

Oink. Haaaaacccccckkkkkkkk (coughing up a hairball as long as I'm at it).

Ain't this thread a squeal I mean scream?

Shadow I agree. That house will use any issue to smack Gerry with. No one mentions how truly vulgar and offensive Chiara is. Truth be told, I'd take Gerrys no hand washing over her crass comments any day. Her family must be humiliated by some of her comments. No one mentions the fact that on several occasions Josh picks his nose, wipes it on the couch, then shoves his hand down his pants and ( for lack of a better deffinition) re adjusts himself while talking to the other hg's. He sorta just lingers there. I'm a guy, and if another dude did that while talking to me I would be slightly irritated and tell him to take it into the other room ALONE. What about the pimple popping that goes on in that house? I think that is totally disgusting! What about those that have laid, or walked on the service counter in the kitchen? Now that would REALLY tick me off!!

Lets face it... All the other hg's could pee on the floor, leave it there, and nothing would be said. Let Gerry belch with his mouth open and obviously the gates of hell need to open up and take this dirty demon back home. It's a double standard and it's typical in this setting to pick one person as the sounding board for ridicule. It's like watching an adult version of Lord of The Fly's. It's very sad to listen too. This man has a family watching this thing. There is a very scary thing about all of this and that is if Marc doesn't shut up about it and he ends up hurting Gerrys feelings we could see Gerry pull a quick reversal and when he breaks that tie he will keep Eric in the house as a parting gift to get even because Gerry knows sooner rather than later he will be gone so why not blow it for Marcellus. I have watched Marcellus melt down within this last week and I'm not his greatest fan. He's letting every person get to him and acting very odd. He needs too cool it and think about the game and less about every movement in the house.

*lol* Thanks, folks, for bringing a welcome breath of fresh air into this whole discussion! For my $0.02 (Canadian), it reminds me of the microbiology experiment that I did as an undergraduate Bio student and used in our science camps for kids. Basically letting everyone have a petri dish and 'sample' whatever they liked, then incubating them for a week to see which ones grew the most freaky stuff. The kids were always amazed to find out that taking swabs of the door handles out-performed anything else their inquisitive little minds could come up with...

I know, Draheid - and I'm getting nervous because Squaredsc hasn't showed up with her little bubble bath girl yet. Is she going to post tonight?
