Twiggyish | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 06:50 pm     I would like to say Gerry is an ok guy. He stands up and says what's on his mind. He isn't the smooth talker like Roddy, either. This is a LOVE thread for Gerry, so please be nice. |
What555456 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 06:52 pm     I like Gerry and I think he is playing this game very well. I don't think he will win, but he impresses me that he has stayed this long. I also think he will only use the veto if he figures he is doing what everyone else wants. |
Cinder | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 06:53 pm     He is not my favorite player- but I would be happy for him to win the money. He is playing a good game. He is on of the few who has never been nominated (also Jason and Dani) |
Sheila494 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 06:54 pm     i really like gerry a lot..hes a good man..he has taken a lot of heat in that house..and in my opinion he did not deserve it..i would really like to see gerry in the finals..LOVE YA GERRY! |
Squidvicious | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 06:54 pm     I'm just impressed that he was soooo threatened after saving Marcellas and he has YET to be nominated. He'll probably not win but at least he's made his mark. |
Earthmother | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 06:56 pm     He is one of the few players in all 3 years who realizes that you can play this game without being vicious. He is setting a good example for his students and they will be proud of him. |
Pamy | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 06:57 pm     I like Gerry and don't know why so many don't. He is always nice to everyone, never talks behind their backs, has played fair, and didn't complain when they all ignored him. He would sit and play cards alone, and would think how sad this must make his family feel

Spunky | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 06:58 pm     The one thing I like about Gerry is that he's like the Teflon Man, he doesn't let any of the hgs criticisms affect him. He keeps his cool and he never retaliates...well, so far anyway. This shows me his maturity in handling criticism, even the very negative one, and actually shows the other hgs as being spoiled brats. I hope he continues to keep his cool and I bet he will. (Could be that his teaching special ed may have taught him to be patient). |
Dntx4bb3 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 07:00 pm     I have liked Gerry from the beginning...there are a couple of others I like too. BUT I think he is one of the few people not telling lies...I am so dicusted with the way the other houseguest have bad mouthed him and called him names...I think he is the most HONEST and sincere person in the house. If I could choose the winner I would pick Gerry for first AND second place... He deserves it ALL!!!!!! |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 07:07 pm     I think Gerry is a great person, I hate the personal attacks that everyone makes behind his back. |
Csnog | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 07:08 pm     I have said all along that Gerry is a decent man. He has handled himself well and kept his word. He has not involved himself with slamming others. He has had the patience of Job when watching the HG's. He has been the only person to keep all the suntan oil cleaned up from the HG's in the pool and HT. I hope he and his family come to this board and read how we feel about him. Go Gerry! |
Molz | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 07:11 pm     i agree..he gets my vote..he's been through enough with these people. my husband was shocked tonight when we discussed who should win..he said danille, i said gerry. imo danielle second..we both love amy..but that's not gonna happen...i think danielle will win.but my vote is for gerry...he's been treated unfairly thru this whole fiasco |
Bkmac | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 07:26 pm     I'm not really a Gerry fan but I do think he gets a raw deal with all the hygene complaints. I also think its kinda funny how the house uses him as the whipping boy yet here they are halfway through and he's still in the house, still unominated. I wouldn't be totally shocked to see him pull it off and make the final 3. I might not be a Gerry fan but I am a fan of irony, I'd like it. |
Twiggyish | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 07:57 pm     bump =) |
Bernie | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 09:25 pm     I've said it in more detail on other Gerry threads, so may as well add my 2 cents here - Gerry is a nice guy, and I like him, period! |
Jimmer | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 09:32 pm     I feel bad for Gerry and the way he's been singled out by the others (especially the hygene issue and talk behind his back). I really do hope that he is playing them because if he truly likes them (as he claims) he's in for a huge disappointment once he leaves the house. |
Skol | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 09:38 pm     Gerry is a bore, but I respect the hell out of him for the way he's handled himself in this game. He's shown true character. He's a man alone and yet he's stayed the course. He hasn't felt the need to belittle others in order to gain friends and feel less of an outcast. He tries very hard to connect with these people and at every turn it results in more ridicule from them. He shows kindness to other members of the house when unbeknownst to him, they are saying terrible things about him. If someone is down, he offers moral support by showing them some kindness. The only time he's played the game emotionally is when he used the veto and even that resulted in criticism. The rest of the game it has been purely strategy and never about hatred or revenge. He has the patience of a saint and I bet it makes him one hell of a teacher. He is a true confident. He does not run to others with information he has received. He never initiates deals. He agrees to deals that fall into his lap, and so far (barring the first one which he reconsidered and thought was a terrible mistake on his part) he has kept them. If he was my Dad, I'd be proud of him. |
Gentoo | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 09:53 pm     I see Gerry as a bit of a bigot, with the whole idea that acting negative (as Marc was in the first week) equates to being gay. But other than that, I like the guy. He's been ostracized and hasn't turned into the monster they paint him to be. I'd be happy to see him win the game. |
Vgood2 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 09:56 pm     I have always thought Gerry was a nice person. I was appalled to see how the HGs left him out of everything, and they they even are proud of it...Danielle disappoints me the most, as she should be more mature and she is almost one of the worst nitpickers...I say GO GERRY GO! |
Jadebutterfly | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 10:17 pm     I think Gerry has showed tremendous character in dealing with all the nastiness that has gone on in the house. I'm pretty sure I would have hit the panic button by now if I were in his place and sensed the cruel things being said. He has been the picture of restraint and has played the game as A GAME. He ain't perfect...but I have great respect for him and I'd be pleased to see him win. |
Jewell | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 10:22 pm     I like Gerry too. I feel so bad for him when the others trash him behind his back. But he keeps his cool and rises above all of that - I'm sure he knows what's going on. He is about the only player who has shown any balls (can I say that here? - only my second post lol!) in his nominations and by using the power of veto. Go Gerry! I doubt if he will win, but I'm hoping Jason or Gerry takes home the $$. |
Hosewater | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 10:23 pm     Oops |
Kapow | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 10:33 pm     My 2 cents... Gerry seems like a good upstanding man of principles. Even if his presiding principles differ from common hygiene, he still seems to be a great man. Seems a good teacher, and a good friend. I would be very pleased to see G make it to the end. Before the show started, I was rooting for him and I still do. Sure, he is gross in some ways. IMHO we all are, we just happen to not be on national TV. (I admit that I pick my nose when needed). Even with his yuck habits, Gerry seems committed to his students and family. He can hock and spit and snore all he wants, IMHO, as long as his heart is committed to what hedoes for a living. Though he grosses me out often, I admire him. |
Silversamba | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:16 pm     I like Gerry, too. The other hgs are acting like junior high schoolers with their mocking and slamming Gerry behind his back. Yet, bless his heart, he still tries. I can't believe Danielle, who sits high and mighty judging everyone else behind their back(especially about how actions look to kids) when her actions hardly show her children anything positive. |
Sia | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:43 pm     My favorite houseguest from the very beginning has been Jason; he still is my favorite and I'm looking forward to buying his Christian contemporary album as soon as it is released. I also like Gerry very much. Gerry's ability to stay in the house without a nomination, his cooperative attitude, work ethic, and upstanding personal behavior (not hygiene; that's another issue) should prove to CBS/ASP that older houseguests SHOULD be cast on BigBrother in future seasons. The viewing public would certainly rather watch a group of adults like Gerry behave like adults instead of watching a pack of immature 20-somethings in heat talk dirty and get intimate under the bedcovers. There's far too much drama with the younger crowd. Cast a hamster-house full of people in Gerry's age group and CBS will STILL have a ratings-winner! |
