Spree17 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:02 am     Am I the only one who wonders if Gerry might be bisexual? He seems to make a ton of comments about how handsome, beautiful, sexy and attractive Marcy is. I remember wondering right from the start about him and Marcy and nothing since then has really said he is in to guys for sure but he doesnt speak like most hetro guys. I hope nobody gets offended for me wondering. |
Crazydog | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:07 am     Spree, here, let me loan you my flame-retardant suit... |
Spree17 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:11 am     lol crazy . I was just wondering if anyone picked up on his comments. If I'm nuts then people can say so. I wont take offense. I have nothing against gay people or as Seinfeld says "not that there is anything wrong with that" LOL that was a funny episode for you fellow Seinfeld fans out there. |
Maris | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:11 am     Yep Crazy, Spree has done it this time...... |
Rissa | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:13 am     Women are much more likely to point out someone on TV or in public who is just incredibly attractive, whether they be male or female, then a man would be. I know that I have made comments about other woman "HEY! She has my body" RFLOL But my hubby would rather roll over and die then admit another man is attractive. Probably just a personality thing with Gerry. |
Draheid | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:14 am     Spree17: I think Gerry is WAY overcompensating for some deep-rooted concepts of how he feels toward Marcellas' 'type' of people and tends to make comments that, in the 'real world' would possibly be considered innappropriate. He does this with all of the houseguests: 'Deep' and intellectual conversations with Roddy, trying to fit in. Religious references when speaking to Jason. 'Girl-talk' like comments occasionally when addressing the females in the house. Etc. I hope that makes sense. JMO - FWIW |
Spree17 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:14 am     I did notice while you guys were poking (no pun intended) at me you didnt answer the actual question. LOL |
Hermione69 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:14 am     I just read on the live feeds where he complimented Marc's smile. I mean, he really laid it on thick. So I'm not surprised to see a post of this nature, but my two cents worth is that NO he is not gay or bisexual, rather he suspects that Marc is fed up with him (I'm sure it doesn't take an above average amount of perceptive ability to sense that) and is trying to soften Marc up and keep him as a friend. Poor Gerry. It is a lost cause! |
Sanfranjoshfan | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:17 am     I don't see him as bi at all. He is just feeding Marce what Marce wants...lots of attention and flattery. Maybe he senses that Marce really has turned against him and is just trying to flatter him back into his court. |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:19 am     I think he's trying to utilize Roddy's tactics of flattery and compliments to earn the other hgs trust and respect. Unfortunately (or fortunately) he doesn't have the same charming smarm to accomplish the task. |
Crazydog | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:19 am     In all seriousness, I agree with Rissa that I have trouble admitting to my girlfriend that even movie stars are attractive, let alone someone "real" like one of my friends. Gerry doesn't really have any kind of strategy in the game other than to try to be nice to people. He desperately wants to fit in and get them to like him. I think he is trying to cater to what he thinks Marc wants to hear. As Marc is fond of saying, Gerry is everyone's prison b*tch. If they asked him to, he'd be in the toilet dispensing the TP for them. |
Spree17 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:20 am     Thats why I asked. Maybe you guys are right and my question was wrong but I have seen him say so many things along that line. One night he called marcy stunning. Another night he said something along the lines that Marcy is so unbelievably handsome. I'm just a guy from the suburbs. I dont know how some people interact so I asked. I have heard many women say things about other women being pretty but in my 35 years I have never in real life heard a man go up to another man and gush all over how handsome he is. |
Csnog | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:38 am     The HG's have been in the house since July 6th. It seems that everyone has received compliments but Gerry. Gerry tries so hard and has not found a single friend. Can you imangine losing over 20 pounds and not receiving a compliment except from Roddy. Some accuse him of not showering (he does every morning while all are asleep) while I see that they don't shower until 8 or 9 at night. Gerry is very much in love with himself and his wife and is missing some humane kindness. He thought that Marcie was his friend but Josh let him know otherwise. The others could be nicer but instead they make him the butt of their jokes. BB PLEASE don't do this next year. Put at least 3 50 year olds in or just leave it with the 20 year olds. I love everything about the game EXCEPT the meaness directed to 1 person. |
Spree17 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:40 am     Jason also complimented him on his weight loss at least 1 time. You have to understand that there are a lot of very self absorbed people in the house. It isnt an age thing. |
Nermal | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:44 am     Spree, you raised a point that Marcellas himself raised last night, I think it was. I think he was talking to Danielle. He said that Gerry gawks at him in the shower. The way he does that makes Marcellas uncomfortable. He insinuated that he wonders if he's gay. I think it was Danielle who cut him off and told him not to even go there that Gerry has a wife and you don't want to say something to hurt her. So, Marcellas has gotten those "gay" vibes from Gerry too, to the point that he doesn't like to shower in his presence. |
Maris | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:46 am     Marcellas also mentioned it to Roddy and Roddy told him to be careful of sound bytes and not to say anymore. |
Goddess146 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:47 am     Maverick to Gerry! You are being painted by Gaydar. Break right! Now! |
Jan | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:48 am     I absolutely do not believe that Gerry is "coming on to Marci " or that he is bisexual...I agree that he is trying so hard to get people to, at least, put up with him if not like him and everyone knows marc loves flattery BUT that's just my take. Marci has a different take. Because he can't stand Gerry, he told Roddy that Gerry stares at him when he is in the shower and it makes him uncomfortable etc etc...Roddy shut him down immediately (good for Roddy by the way..my first good words about him). He tried to make Marci see that he had absolutely no proof about that and to say it and get it on the net is to make it true. Marci backed right off after that so I think he realized it was not true and he did not want to spread it. also Lisa said the same thing about his staring while she is in the shower. I think he stares into space or at people without really seeing what is in front of him. He is in deep thought. I know I do that a lot and people think I am staring. So no I do not think Gerry is Bi |
Spree17 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:50 am     Nermel I dont think he is gay. I think he might keyword might be bisexual. I think lisa also said that she has caught gerry lurking at her. Just because marcy and lisa said this doesnt mean it is true. I have no idea if Gerry is bi or not. All I wanted to see is if others had picked up the same vibes as I did in that direction. I do respect what danni said and I'm actually surprised she did. If he is "bi" then his wife probably knows and accepts it. I was hesitant to start this thread because I'm not in to gay bashing. I was just curious what others thought. |
Spree17 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:53 am     My last post on the subject. If you are a guy hetro, bi or gay. If another man made so many of these comments to you and was possibly watching you in the shower would you come to the same conclusions as Marcy. Marcy is gay so he isnt trying to accuse gerry of anything he thinks is wrong. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:54 am     I think Marce looks for anything that can be construed as a weapon to use against Gerry. He never lets up...like he is on patrol, mentally cataloguing everything Gerry does that he can go back to the girls and b*tch about. Marce seems to be on a mission to destroy any last shread of support that he might have remaining from any other HG for any other reason. It WILL be interesting once Gerry goes (if he actually goes before Marce) to see what Marce will have to talk about. He sometimes uses his vitriolic lambasting of Gerry as fodder for his comedy routines to Amy. He's sort of a big nelly Don Rickles (in his own mind). Bottom line...if Marce thought he was gay, he would ask Gerry, not Danielle. It is interesting to note that as far as I have seen, there have been no threads asking about Chiara, Lisa, and Tonya being lesbians! Remember the peanut-butter-on-privates moment, not to mention the girl shower show? Talk about fodder for sexual orientation discussion, but I remember nothing mentioned here at all. (I will admit that I do miss a lot of the threads here....can't keep up with them all) |
Nermal | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:56 am     Spree, as some have said the conversation may have been with Roddy. You're right, bi is probably a better choice of words. I don't mean it as bashing at all. I don't care if he's gay, bi or anything else. I just thought it was interesting that Marcellas has had the same vibes. |
Jan | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:57 am     sanfran and Spree to give the devil his proper due it was Roddy and not Dani who had that conversation with MArci. It was the night the two made their pact in the HT. I don't know if it made the Live feeds but I was watching it and I remember it well. |
Bbrules4ever | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:59 am     gerry has been in "theatre" all his life and has said he has been surrounded by gay men......I think his attraction to marcellus is not sexual at all.....just sort of a familiarity from his theatre days |
Spree17 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 12:00 pm     jan thanks for the correction. I was just commenting on the prior post. SanfranI dont think there is anything sexually kiki wont do. Tonya probably also. I dont know lisa that well. I respected Amy for not folloing the sheep. |
