Jimmer | Thursday, August 22, 2002 - 10:51 pm     Gerry always seems to have extremely kind words for everyone in the house. Either he is just playing the game big time (and being a little hypocritical and laying it on thick doing it) or he sincerely thinks well of these people and is in for a horrible devastating shock when he leaves and finds out how they feel about him. |
Battlestar | Thursday, August 22, 2002 - 11:02 pm     He is a Middle School Teacher. He is use to dealing with this mentality. There is nothing more vicious then a Grade Seven girl or boy or a teacher who is a power struggle with you over some perceived slight |
Muse | Thursday, August 22, 2002 - 11:07 pm     I think he'll be surprised and disappointed, but he'll get over it. And honestly - Marcellas and Amy are the only ones who are really bad right now. The rest might make the occasional comments, but I don't think any of them hate Gerry. I wish someone would tell Gerry about Marcellas, though. Danielle and Roddy would benefit from having Gerry firmly on their side, and I think being honest with him would do it. Plus he deserves to know. I mean, he thinks Marcellas is his *friend*, for pete's sake. |
Jaysgal | Thursday, August 22, 2002 - 11:09 pm     Gosh, people try to make Gerry sound so innocent and nice. I agree that people say too many negative things about him. However, it is a false statement that Gerry has never said anything negative about anyone in that house. I remember his negative comment about Jason when he was communicating with some female. I can't remember what female it was. It may have been Amy. Or maybe it was someone else. The funny thing is, he was just gasping for straws. So, Gerry isn't so innocent in that field. Nonetheless, I do agree that the countless negative statements is not justified. And BB instigating it isn't any more helpful. At the same time, Gerry is quite mature and perceives this as a game. Recall he said he would not make long-term enemies, long-term alliances, etc. I think he perceives this as a game and he's strictly here for business. He is not affected by what they are saying because he isn't really deeply emotionally connected to them. Didn't Gerry even once say that he didn't mind if Marcellas did stuff like that to him? |
Abby | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 01:18 am     I do not agree with you Jaysgal, this Bashing has gone way out beyond the game, Wishing a man dead is not a joke, BB should be taking this very seriously. I wonder what BB is waiting for? Or is it to make good tv. What M & A are doing disgusting. The rest have sat in on this and even added their comments, None have the Guts to say "Hey this is wrong..and not part of the game" Not even the Christian Jason. Why doesnt BB put a screeching halt to this? |
Snogrl | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 02:19 am     I dearly hope BB will expose Marcellas and Amy's viciousness on the show. It has gone so far beyond the pale, viewers would probably be shocked at what we see regularly on the feeds. Tonights death talk about Gerry made me feel so sad. |
Floresmama | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 02:24 am     Tonight when Gerry had the kind words to say to Chiara for her exit video. The first thing that sprang to my mind was how badly she has talked about him. I have a problem with Gerry hygiene but all in all I think he is a great guy. I am really happy to see him up and laughing it up with everybody late night lately instead of going to bed early. He cracks me up often. |
Eden | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 02:47 am     Oddly, it seemed that Gerry's kind comments almost seemed to move Chiara more than anyone else's. Maybe it was me, but it seemed that his sincere kindness in the face of her unkindness, humbled her. Jays, for the record, professional or not, teacher or not, Gerry is a man made of flesh like any other. No one could hear what was said about him tonight without being hurt. That is just being human. So many deny him so much, for so many shallow reasons, don't deny him that, too. |
Annitar | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 03:08 am     I agree Gerry's comments floored Chiara! You could tell that she didn't expect such amazing words from him. That was one of my favorite moments from the show. I loved tonight's show, it's my favorite so far. |
Allietex | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 05:27 pm     I don't think that BB will reveal the other hgs treatment of Gerry unless one of them takes up for him like Lori did and none of them are going to do that because they have all been guilty. BB needs drama and conflict and as long as this is all one sided and behind Gerry's back they will let it slide. The trash talking and bashing have really been bad but M and A last night wishing he would die was just unbelievable. Any sympathy or admiration I had for either just died right there, and I did like both of them at one time. |
Jan | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 05:35 pm     What I don't understand is why no one trusts Gerry. The only word he has ever broken is to veto Marc..and that wasn't really breaking his word, after all they didn't know about veto when they all agreed. since then he has never broken his word to anyone. Everyone thinks he has deals with everyone else but he doesn't. All his deals were one week things. Is it that they all think he is playing a smarter game than he is?? It was funny to hear Marc tell Dani that Gerry and Roddy were plotting in the back yard because you can't trust Gerry yada yada yada..and when the camera went to them they were talking about animals. Some plotting that was!! |
Bigbrotherbelle | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 05:37 pm     I really don't think he does. The example on the top of my head because it just happened a couple hours ago - Gerry was in the HoH crying over Chiara leaving. Immediately after, Roddy goes in there and says that Chiara hated Gerry. |
Suitsmefine | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 07:52 pm     BB does not have to SHOW Gerry what the HG'S have said .....His Sweet, Sweet,family has probably taped every episode. Plus I'm sure anyone that knows him, has been checking LFP's....My heart aches for him when he does see how cruel these people have been to him, but with a family likes his he will survive. I genuinely believe that gerry is a very compassionate man, if he is voted out , I hope he gets with the others and seeks revenge on the final decision. |
Lombadier | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 07:57 pm     I was a big Marcellas fan until I realized how nasty he could be. At one point, I wanted him to win. Not anymore. I hope Gerry lasts longer in the house than Marc. I felt bad for Gerry the other night when he was talking about the orange tree and how the oranges on it would remind him of his other 'family', aka the HGs. Somehow, I think he'll get over it. |
Lombadier | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:01 pm     Marc and Amy said they wish that Gerry would die??? I missed that. I am speechless... that is beyond low and despicable. I hope Amy is voted out of the house again this week and never sets foot in that house again. |
Jimmer | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:07 pm     Marc and Amy appall me. I was watching the live feeds last night and their comments about Gerry were absolutely hideous. I would rather see anyone other than them win the game. In a sad way, the only consolation is that in a few years Marc will be older and probably hating himself as much as he dislikes Gerry now (for the same shallow reasons). |
Neokat | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:23 pm     I believe, that to some extent, Gerry does know that the HG's don't like him much. The way they kept handing him off to each other. There is a definite anti-Gerry vibe in that house. Whether or not he cares is another issue. He is not one to make waves, ie telling Josh not to call him a "N" |
Amac | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:38 pm     Yeah, no question Gerry is fully aware of everyone's attitude towards him. Julie asked him point blank when he was HOH and he said so. He keeps his mouth shut and tolerates it because he thinks it'll further him in the game. |
Sassylady | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:45 pm     Gerry is about the only one who has kept his word and on top of that he has never told others of conversations he has been asked not to repeat. Granted, the only one I remember him saying was a threat was Jason. He referred to him as the one under the radar. Maybe Jason picked up on this vibe <shrug>. It is horrible that no none in this house has once defended Gerry and to have Jason, who I happen to admire for his convictions, to be the one who puts the final nail in Gerry's coffin just blows my mind. BTW: I noticed Chiari's reaction to Gerry's goodbye video as well. I am thinking Chiari of all the people in the house will benefit from looking at her behavior when she views the tapes. No one deserves to be talked about the way Gerry has been talked about... Marc and Amy have gone way overboard to the point I am disgusted by the remarks they make--I get where I do not even read it--it turns my stomach to hear pure hatred. And from someone who would have been in Mexico had it not been for Gerry...urgh! |
Hosewater | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 09:00 pm     Somebody give Gerry an axe when he gets out of the house... so he can chop that *#!@* orange tree to pieces! |
Abby | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 09:50 pm     What bothers me is that BB and CBS edits the show to where M-A comes off looking like their ---- dont stink. Poor misunderstood Gay and the Slighted Southern Belle. Or the "Odd Couple" No truth in it.. But makes good TV. |
Sam222 | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 09:55 pm     I said in another thread that I really hope that Big Brother does a segment on the less than nice side of Amy and Marc, it sounds stupid but I really want the rest of America (non feed watchers) to know the true Amy and Marc |
Off2cthwizrd | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:43 pm     And now I really, really, really want Gerry to win the video from home for America's Choice. Even if he goes home on Thursday...I still want him to be the winner. Let the others be mad - Gerry deserves this IMO. |
Marcieb | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:04 am     Gerry is the only one who WANTS to do "the right thing" -- and knows morally that the right thing isn't just what's best for HIM. He proved this when he saved Marc that fateful first week. Ger says his wife is is constant pain so he knows that life is about more than money and deals. I respect him tons more now than when I first perceived him as a long-winded buffoon. He'd spend his winnings helping his wife and kids with probably very little for himself -- he's the celebrity he's always wanted to be now and that'll last throughout his lifetime. Does he know how the others feel about him? I doubt that he can fathom how heinously cruel they've been (particulary Marc & Amy) because that depth of hatred isn't known to him. I hope his kids never find out -- and experience shame from -- the words the HG's have said and CBS has chosen to televise because they don't deserve to have wrath aimed at them from insensitive viewers. Perhaps wanna-be contestants will think twice before subjecting their families to potential ridicule when signing up for a TV show--Gerry's quadruply more vulnerable than the singles because each family member becomes a target. Maybe reality show producers should discriminate here in order to protect the innocent. |
What555456 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:36 am     Keep in mind Gerry is a teacher of kids at "that age" when they attack teachers with nastiness all the time. He has heard this all before and has learned from experience how to overlook it while he does what he feels needs to be done. Yes, I think he has a pretty good idea of people's attitude and I think he is able to put it in perspective, as he does with what he knows his students are saying about him. |
Earthmother | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 10:30 am     What cracks me up is that while all these people are having their late night strategy sessions (playing the game), Gerry is sleeping. When they have these sessions they are always talking about Gerry. His hygeine is always brought up because they are sleeping when he showers, shaves, washes his clothes, etc. Then they go on to say he is going around always playing the game and making deals..Funny I have never seen Gerry approach any of them, but I always see them approach him. The only time he talks game is when they bring it to him. He had sessions with Marc when he(Gerry) was HOH because he thinks Marc is in his corner, which makes sense. Marc was all over him like a cheap bathrobe when Gerry won the HOH. The HOHs are the ones offering the deals. I don't think he made a deal with any of them when he was HOH. He didn't promise any of them that he would save them if they voted off Lisa or Erik. It just amazes me what some people see and hear when I'm looking at the same thing and seeing and hearing something entirely different. I think he knows that they don't trust him, but I don't think he knows the really vile stuff, but if he stays this week and gets the HOH you can bet Lisa and Dani will be spillin' all they know about Marc and Amy's campaign to smear him just like they did with Josh. |
