Bridgetlovesbb | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 07:02 am     yesterday Chiara used the restroom and came out and RINSED ONE hand! She didnt use soap and she only put one hand under the water for like 2 seconds! |
Mylisa522 | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 07:32 am     First off, I like Gerry. He seems more honest than Dani. Dani is every bit as cut throat as Josh and yet no one dumps on her. She has a vicious temper and has shown it. Secondly, the only "real" cast of Big Brother was BB1. Since then it has all been glamour gals and guys and the normal folks get treated like trash. I really hope Josh gets the boot. He deserves to get out of there before he has a total nervous breakdown and hurts himself or someone else. Secondly, I would really like to see Gerry stick around. This juvenile business of "we're not talking to him because he's not cool" or "he saved Marcellas" is a waste of time. It seems if Gerry plays the game he's a creep but when Princess Dani plays the game she is great. Not right. It's just not right. |
Gina8642 | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 07:41 am     I keep seeing this in here and I have to ask - Why is stroking one's hair unsanitary? |
Txbb3fan | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 08:36 am     Because as you run your fingers through your hair, the oil and whatever other goo you may have in your hair, is gradually transferred to your hands. Then anything else you touch gets the stuff from your hair...countertops, food, dishes, etc...which then others touch or eat. Hope that helps clear it up. |
Gina8642 | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 08:49 am     I guess I don't usually put 'goo' in my hair. Plus I clean it and my scalp every day. Just don't see it as very 'dirty' compared to everything else in the world. In comparison, I think a person's elbow is probably much dirtier then a person's hair. Think of all the stuff it touches everyday. Your hair just hangs out there in the air most of the day. Your elbow goes around brushing other people, touching walls, touching the ground where Roddy spits when you lay out. Etc... Eveytime you cross your arms, you touch your elbow. If we wanted to live by some of the standards expoused by these HGs and some people on the boards we would need to scrub our ourselves down in antibacterial soap every 30 minutes. I just don't get how everyone is sooo paranoid about germs. There was no such thing as antibacterial soap until the last 10 years, but somehow the human race managed without it before. Getting hair in food is different. You can then potentially get the root of a hair in something. I think that root could possilble hold icky stuff. So I understand that. Just not the simple 'touching' of hair. |
Cinder | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 08:55 am     Gina- I thought the same thing about how people have survived without soap. I don't know how Lisa thinks she could have made it on Survivor (assuming she did apply) What is the "Gerry's leftover" thing about? |
Bridgetlovesbb | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:01 am     As much as these people are outside sweating.....I sure dont want them running their fingers throuh their hair and touching MY food!! BLECH!!

Braveheart61901 | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:05 am     I don't care how clean one's hair is....if I find one in my food.....gag......ugh....gag...... |
Mrose4243 | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:16 am     FWIW - Yesterday, Gerry asked Chiara if it was ok if he put his shirt in the dryer with the towels. The very same one he washed with "Anti-bacterial HAAANNNNDDDDD" soap. She said "Sure!" Then immediately told Lisa how Gerry just put his shirt that he washed with HAAANNNNDD soap into the dryer! Was she setting him up? What a 12-year old she is! |
Earthmother | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:37 am     New evidence is proving that antibacterial soap is causing people more harm than good. Human beings build up immunities from bacteria. When you live in a germ free world you are increasing your chances of getting sick. Antibacterial cleaners do not have the ability to know which is bad bacteria and which is good bacteria. Bacteria is everywhere and people have lived years doing jobs that require your hands to become dirty and I don't think anyone has died from it. When a farmer is working the fields plowing, sweating, digging and someone comes out and brings them lunch, do you think they bring soap and water with them? When a construction worker is out on a job with only a porta-potty available and it's time to eat is there a bottle of anitibacterial hand wash in his lunch pail? When you take the kids to the river to swim and call them to eat their picnic lunch do you avail to them some sort of soap and water? I would venture to say NO to these questions. Anyone ever go camping? The behavior of these people on this show is the most anal I have ever seen. Maybe I'm not a good mother or person but I just don't think in terms of germs. Our air is the dirtiest thing in our atmosphere and we all still breathe. How many people have lost a pet who died from licking their butts? lol |
Gina8642 | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:40 am     Thank You Earthmother, that is very well put. |
Weinermr | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:44 am     They have to find something "wrong" with Gerry in order to justify in their own minds a reason to dislike him. They have chosen to focus on his hygiene. And yes, many of the other HG's have similar or other habits that are equally non-hygienic as anything Gerry does or doesn't do. |
Mrose4243 | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:47 am     I really think that this criticism of Gerry's hygene is just an excuse to vote him out (hmmm...eventually). What they really dont like is Gerry's preachy teachy know it all attitude. They will accept this behavior from Roddy, but not Gerry...why? Because he's older, he's not 'attractive' in their thinking, and they just can't relate to him. They are like adolescents who want the 'teacher' to leave the room so that they can 'act up'. So, rather than complain about the things they REALLY don't like about him, they use this superficial lack of cleanliness reason to ease their guilty conscience when they evict him. Earthmother, you are exactly right about the bacteria thing! |
Sherbabe | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:48 am     I totally agree with you mylisa522. BB1 might have been more boring, but the people were REAL. If what is true about some of this year's cast being approached by the producers, it is not Real. Lisa said in the DR last week, it was not fair that she and Eric were put up for eviction....well maybe lori felt it wasn't fair to be put up the first week (especially, as the sacraficial lamb). So many other hypocritical scenarios going on now. Three cheers for the mature HG's. or should I say HG. |
Juju2bigdog | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 10:14 am     Earthmother: Quote:How many people have lost a pet who died from licking their butts? lol
VERY well put, Earthmother. Hahahahahahahahaha. |
Blinky | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 10:24 am     So true earthmother : I want to know how many germaphobic people have kissed an animal on it's mouth or allowed an animal to lick their face after smelling and licking (not only their own) genitals and dirty butts |
Duncan | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 10:35 am     Well said Earthmother. Well said. I never put any stock in the anti-bacterial soap thing myself, although I do keep some on the sink in the kitchen just because the little pump bottle is really convenient to have there if I need to wash my hands. Kinda like the whole bottled water thing....people have been drinking the stuff for long enough now that they are starting to have dental problems because there is no flouride in it. LOL |
Jaycee | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 11:29 am     Earthmother has down to earth good sense. My goodness, I grew up in the midwest on a farm, with no running water in our home. We cooked, ate, had lots of big family dinners without worrying about germicidal soap and washing our hands every ten minutes. We were all healthy happy kids, kind of like the Walton family. These people in the house all go to restaurants and other public places where germs must surely be rampant. How "scandalous." They are using this as a convenient way to bash Gerry. One day recently I saw one of the two gals (L or C?) stop to pick a zit on another houseguest, and then straight back to the food preparation. eeesh! That is why it is irritating to hear them go on and on about Gerry's non-handwashing issues. Those who are most verbal about it need to observe themselves first. |
Txbb3fan | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 12:04 pm     Bravo Earthmother!!! ::clapping hands:: Personally, I think all of the zit-picking (not the nit-picking hehehe) is much more, well, GROSS!!! Ick! |
Tweepee | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 12:05 pm     Earthmother is right. this just may be a case where kiki has a point about us Net Freaks being a little to obsessive about the show. we gotta have something to say about everything... even if it's not really down-to-earth |
Pamy | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 12:21 pm     I think w3 should print this thread and throw it over the fence, wouldn't you love to see their faces reading all of this!!!??! ANGELS???????

Tvjunkie | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 01:00 pm     As I said in another thread: I think it is a shame that the HG's say all that mean and nasty stuff about him behind his back. I mean really, who are they to talk, when they are popping each other's zits and constantly grooming each other? I've seen several posts about them not washing hands either ! I think it is more about the fact that there are clearly differences between him and the rest of the HG's. These being age, weight, education, and experiences. They simply exclude him for the same nasty reasons kids do it in high school, because he is different. I hope they are all ashamed of how they've behaved when they get out of the house. What about the poor guy's family? Pamy, if only we could do that. I'd love to see what they think of a lot other stuff we all type about on here too. I guess the backstabbing and nastiness is what keeps us tuned in, but they are just so heartless sometimes! |
Earthmother | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 01:14 pm     I'm a little confused here. In the first week of the show Dani, Tonya and Chiara were sitting in the LR hackin' on Gerry when Lori showed up. Lori thinking this behavior was horrific called them on it. Dani turned into a raving maniac about not wanting to hurt the guys feelings by telling him. Lori tells her that it's wrong and she should speak to him and not back bite. Lori is accused of being a NUT. I remember these boards lighting up with posters claiming Lori's a crazed maniac. Comments like "she's unbalanced and needs to go." I now see some of those same people angered by the exact same behavior from all of the hgs except Jason wanting justice by someone telling them to "knock it off". For weeks after the Lori/Dani incidence there was thread after thread about Gerry's hygiene. I see again the band wagon mentallity is alive and well. I should be happy some have come to their senses. I am proud as many of you to be one who thought this behavior sucked then and thinks it sucks now. I pray Lori gets back in that house and cleans up!!!! |
Tvjunkie | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 03:10 pm     Just curious if anyone has seen Meticulous... I mean Marcellus do anything gross. He came off the be such a clean freak with his little toiletries, calling everyone else nasty near the begining. Anyone know of any "dirt"? LOL, couldn't resist the play on words.  |
Earthmother | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 03:15 pm     No, not me..they all have a few nasty habits, including Mr. Clean it all with alcohol! |
