Csnog | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:34 am     Funny how Gerry didn't make her "feel" uncomfortable until this past week. Did she think of how uncomfortable she made some of the HG's at times. Gerry should have voted her out and kept Eric then she would not have any problems with Gerry looking or saying anything to her. That's the problem with people, they throw out nasty things and don't realize the consequences. Get ready everyone. We will hear about how fat and how much Amy drinks next week. Oh how I wish someone would put Dannie up. She keeps warning everyone that they don't want to be around if she is ever nominated. I would like to see what she would be like. lol |
Theo17 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:37 am     i didnt see danni say that. In fact I saw he say the opposite that she wouldnt give anybody a hard time and take it lie an adult when speaking with marcy |
Jimmer | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:52 am     Is Lisa sure that it was a bug that bit her? Maybe she could pin that on Gerry too?  |
Wendo | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 12:09 pm     Costacat said, "Sexual harrassment is sexual harrassment, period. It doesn't have to be a boss or a fellow employee. It can be a neighbor, a store clerk, anyone. And, by definition, harrassment is some action or statement that makes one feel uncomfortable." Costacat, I'm sorry, but you're wrong about the legal definition of sexual harassment. According to Merriam Websters: Main Entry: sexual harassment Function: noun Date: 1975 : uninvited and unwelcome verbal or physical conduct directed at an employee because of his or her sex Sexual harassment is a term to describe workplace improprieties. Following this definition, Gerry has, in no way, participated in sexual harassment. Period. Lastly, as to your use of thongs, more power to you. However, do you go out in public in your thong only? Hit the beach or the park in a bikini top and bikini thong? People are going to look, that's a fact. If you don't want it out there, then cover it up. I'm with the posters who argue that these people have done NOTHING more than formed a wolf pack mentality, and, unfortunately, Gerry is their carcass. If anything, he's had so many character assinations by these people that he could possibly have legal grounds for a civil suit. |
Kaili | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 12:50 pm     They are all in some certain ways co-workers as well as contestants. They made the choice to go on the show, but they are being paid to be there. Also, it is televised and the simple fact that she feels uncomfortable and the actions that are making her feel that way are being broadcast on television are enough. Whether he is or is not being harrasing is not my place to say. However, I do believe it is Lisa's responsibility to say something either to Gerry himself or to the Diary Room if she really wants it to stop. The bottom line is that she feels uncomfortable and now, if it matters that much to her, she needs to step up and take some action if she wants him to stop. He's not a mind reader. Now to spew my opinion and contradict my line saying it's not my place to say. I doubt a married teacher with kids would go on TV and intentionally sexually harass anyone. I don't think he is harassing her. I think she is using it as something to justify voting him off and disliking him. The fact that he is looking at her doesn't even mean he is looking at her sexually! He may be looking at her and thinking about her place in his game strategy for all we (or she)know! As for how she dresses, I feel that's irrelevant. She's an attractive woman and of course you would look at her. I stare at people without even realizing it, especially if they have interesting faces. Male and female. Doesn't make me gay either, as was mentioned in a number of places based on Marcellas, Gerry, and the shower. |
Nutsy | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 12:57 pm     Actually, I think there are many definitions of sexual harassment. See No. 3 below for a very broad meaning ... Listed are several examples of definitions for sexual harassment, including the University of Maryland at College Park's (UMCP) definition. 1) Sexual harassment is offensive sexual behavior by persons in authority towards those who can be benefitted or injured in an official capacity. Therefore, it is primarily an issue of abuse of power, not sex. 2) Sexual harassment is a breach of a trusting relationship that should be a sex-neutral and relaxed situation.It is unprofessional conduct and undermines the integrity of the employment relationship. 3) Sexual harassment is coercive behavior,whether implied or actual. It is unwanted attention and intimacy in a nonreciprocal relationship. 4) Sexual harassment is an illegal form of sex discrimination. It is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the federal law prohibiting employment discrimination. Sexual harassment of a student is a violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational institutions receiving federal financial assistance. 5) Sexual harassment is a violation of professional ethics. |
Wavelength | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 12:59 pm     Lisa has done everything possible to make men look at her. The thong bikini, the little girl voice, the hair flipping and the hooking up with a man she knew for only a couple of days. Just because she would rather have a younger, more muscular man look at her is no excuse for bashing Gerry for looking. Wait until she watches the tapes and has time to analyze her behavior. She also knows that Eric may be watching and she is playing it up for him. He told her she was the sweetest, nicest girl he ever knew so she thinks that everything she does is innocent. |
Bbrules4ever | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:04 pm     amy is now saying that gerry is sexually harrasing her; he was leering over her while she was suntanning and said " Oohhh...you look REAL nice SPREAD out there like that , Amy" amy and danielle are repulsed...... i think they are kinda overreacting......why must they perseverate on gerry's innocent remarks? |
Zeyna | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:12 pm     I just want tomorrow to come so that this can stop. Seems we have a feeding frenzy. Lisa just mentioned that she talked to the DR and they told her they'll review the tapes. They never saw this coming, and she's surprised. |
Hosewater | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:17 pm     Okay, I'm gettin' outta here while the gettin' is good! |
Wavelength | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:22 pm     All of these people knew what they might be up against and they signed a contract. I have a feeling that we are seeing the first year that sexual harrassment is being used as a way to win. If so, I won't watch next year. |
Gina8642 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:46 pm     So, who thinks BB will do a segment on Gerry being a person who sexually harrasses women? And, of course, they will not show the other side of the story, but instead will show Gerry in the worst possible light. This is what they did with the Marcellus story last week, and the hygiene story before. (I have to say I haven't seen any of these comments that Gerry supposedly made. So, I cannot judge one way or the other on whether they might be considered sexual harassment. I did hear the 'girls' complaining about Gerry drying his hands off on a towel near the shower when they are in the shower. They said he only does that when a female is in the shower so he can leer in at them. This I know to be false. I've seen Gerry numerous times come out of the WC, wash his hands, and then dry them off on his towel which hangs near the shower door. He does it all the time, whether others are in the bathroom or not. So, here, I know they are incorrect in this part of their 'Gerry is sexually harassing us' story.) |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:52 pm     With all this negative energy, just think how they are going to tear each other apart when Gerry is no longer around. And I hate to break this to you, but there's nothing wrong, illegal, or immoral, about looking at a woman in a bikini or a thong. |
Gina8642 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:55 pm     I think Amy is their next target for trashing. Marcellus and/or Roddy will be next. I don't remember this last year. Am I blissfully forgetting, or did this amount of vitriol not happen? |
Bernie | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:56 pm     It seemed odd to me too, CSnog, that Lisa has all of a sudden, it seems, started seriously complaining about Gerry in this way, and it just occurred to me that it began after Dani's little 'plan' re Lisa making a deal with Gerry, and Dani seeming to want Amy to be the one to go. I wonder if this is Lisa's campaign to be sure that Gerry goes, and Amy stays? Just an idle thought, but it could explain her actions in the last couple of days. |
Rain | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:57 pm     Hosewater said: "A classy woman" does not demonstrate oral sex on national TV. "A classy woman" does not jump into bed, again on national TV, with a man she's known for less than a week. "A classy woman" does not wear a thong bikini, or a peanut butter bikini for that matter, in front of pseudo-strangers. "A classy woman" does not diddle a man's doo-dah on national TV. "A classy woman" does not tongue-kiss another woman while completely drunk. ------------------------------------------------ I couldn't have said it better myself. Lisa, like most of those hgs, are Jerry Springer rejects. How sad. Frankly, I believe if anyone has been abusive in the house, its Lisa and Chiara who have been sexually abusive to Jason. |
Cafe976 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:59 pm     Ocean- Oh, it's going to be bad. The board will have to band together and boycott the feeds, or we'll go up in flames too! |
Theo17 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:01 pm     lisa does this when people are on their way out. She was doing the same nasty crap to josh in his last week. Not the sex stuff but the bashing |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:01 pm     I'm always amazed at young women who parade around in skimpy clothes, halter tops, or bikinis or what have you, and then when they feel exposed or vulnerable, it is always the fault of the person who is looking. |
Cajunrambler | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:05 pm     Could it be that they received instructions from the DR to bash Gerry when they were called in to vote? This could all be perpetrated by the producers to make Gerry look like that, since he is leaving. Remember they voted today. |
Eden | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:06 pm     I have to agree that if you wear a thong bikini you are inviting people to look at you. That means all people, not just the ones you WANT to look at you! If that sort of attention makes you uncomfortable, WHY are you wearing it in the FIRST place!? There are many other styles of attractive swimwear that are not so revealing. In my opinon there is harrassment going on but it isn't sexual. Gerry is the one who seems to be the victim. |
Thorntara | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:07 pm     I feel sorry for Gerry, not that I would want to spend a lot of time locked in a house with him. I think there are three things going on here.... 1) Gerry just wants to fit in, and he says and does many of the same things that Roddy says and does. Roddy frequently compliments everyone on the way the look, the way they are dressed, what they are doing, etc. When Gerry does it, it's sexual harrassment. 2) They've ostracized Gerry for so long that it is habit, and somewhere inside, they know it is and was wrong, so now they finding ways to justify it. Especially now that they've all voted him out. 3) They are all about being young and beautiful, which Gerry isn't. Yesterday, when they were in the pool, Roddy complimented Amy on how she was wearing her bikini top (she was falling out of it) and she was charmed, in fact made a motion to flash Roddy. Sorry, but you can't have it both ways......... |
Classycassfan | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:07 pm     my ? is where is big brother??? Isn't that the name of this show?? Big Brother is suppose to be the controlling influance in the house.... I guess ASP forgot to find someone on the staff that had any moral fiber that would allow them to act as big brother. To sad... time to find a prodcution company that can read Orwells writings and the orginal producers instructions and follow them.. JMO |
Hosewater | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:07 pm     Ocean, they don't "feel" exposed... They ARE exposed! My current fashion pet peeve: These low-riding waistless tight pants that Britney Spears has popularized. I never see a teenager who isn't trying to hitch 'em back up. I suspect the pants have a "falling down" feeling to them. Girls, nobody wants to see your butt crack or your curlies. Please wear normal pants. God gave you hip bones for a reason. |
Theo17 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:08 pm     listen if gerry looks in on them in the shower then its gerrys fault but if they dress half naked outside and gerry looks then its not gerrys fault. Thats a lot of bs. |
