Well it seems that we who don't like Gerry need a place to congregate since we are being told not to play in other threads. This is a thread for people who don't like Gerry. Just as I have been told several times not to butt in on a thread that is pro-Gerry, I just want to state up front that we don't like him here.

There have been plenty of anti-Roddy, anti-Chiara, anti-Marcellus and anti-Tonya threads, so I don't see why we can't have this one during his last days.

Gerry, it's time for you to go. May you find peace in your life and wisdom in the experience.

I like Gerry. Gerry is the best.

Gerry should've won the whole thing.

Gerry got a raw deal.

Gerry was mistreated by the others.

Gerry was portrayed falsely by Big Brother's clever editing.

Gerry is an honorable man who deserves better.

Gerry is the best Big Brother houseguest.

Okay. That about covers it. Carry on with your Gerry bashing.

Crazydog, your request would make sense if you and other Gerry distractors stayed out of the pro-Gery threads--however you don't and typically state in them your complaint about that very issue. So while your correct that you are asked to stay out of the threads, what you fail to mention above is that you don't honor those requests.

Don't expect yours to be honored either.

I have no problem leaving the thread for anti-Gerry folks to say they want him to leave, he deserves to leave, etc---as long as it doesn't turn into a HG bashing/name calling thread. And of course that goes the same for a thread about any of the other HG's, in case you are concerned of unequal treatment.

Okay, Crazydog, I'll play.

I don't like Gerry - I find him creepy. He is the epitome of someone who is trying to hard - to be cool, to fit in, to relate, to be everyone's friend. Say what you will about Roddy, he does this sort of thing much better.

I will say why I, MOI, YO, think it is time for him to go:

1. He kisses up to anyone and everyone and ingratiates himself with people in a creepy fashion.

2. He speaks about his students in a condesecending fashion like they are little puppies and are inferior to him.

3. I dont like his air of superiority which is particularly evident when he speaks about his students and his role as a teacher. A classic Gerry story is how he once had teacher who was a failed actor and that is why this person became a teacher. This teacher told Gerry he wouldn't make it as an actor. Well Gerry got his first acting job he gave a speech and said F you to the teacher. He makes a joke about a teacher who was a failed actor and that is exactly what he is.

4. I believe that Gerry resents and patronizes Marcellas for his homosexuality. I dont believe that someone can make statements that a gay person is having problems acccepting their homosexuality without even discussing with that person how they feel about being gay. When someone says that another person feels burdened by their homosexuality and race, I believe they are actually saying they cannot accept someone as a homosexual and that someone cannot be comfortable being gay.

5. I think Gerry deliberately baits Marcellas whenever he can and goads him. He claims to be the most intelligent person in the house yet he doesnt know what people are saying. He said it the other night, he knows exactly what is going on and who is saying what.

6. He walks around saying he wont politic or play the game and then turns around and trashes Amy and Marcellas to everyone he can. That is fine but dont hold yourself up as someone who is above everyone else.

7. I dont like his politics.

8. His veto speech was self serving and offensive

9 I dont like watching him.

Understood Lance, and I do agree with you. I admit that I have posted in pro-Gerry threads but that is only because it seems like there has been no threads for anti-Gerry sentiments.

Maris, great post.

Believe it or not, my biggest complaint about Gerry has nothing to do with how he looks, smells or washes his hands. The biggest problem I have with Gerry is that he had no game plan other than to make sure other people are viewed as more of a threat or more offensive than himself. I have said this before but I think it's true that this strategy can keep you in the game but won't make you win it.

If all he wanted was to stay in the house longer than others, that's a great strategy. But the way he acts he thinks that it will bring him the money. He has survived solely on the good graces of others who make these deals with him just to make it look like they have a reason to keep him around when in reality they have no use for him.

I think Gerry is only just realizing that this strategy of being the "prison bizatch" can only get you so far.

"I have np problem leaving the thread for anti-Gerry folks to say they want him to leave, he deserves to leave, etc---as long as it doesn't turn into a HG bashing/name calling thread."

Isn't that what the moderators are for?

I don't want to step into anyone else's tension, but I don't see why any HG needs more than one purely "pro" (or "con" for that matter) thread. If there are multiple threads that involve Gerry, and they all get designated as pro-Gerry/do not bash, I think that's unfairly stifling.

Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about; it's just that I've seen this complaint before (that people who criticize Gerry get chastised). I can't say if it's true or not; in my experience, up until this week at least, that's been more the case with people who've criticized Jason.

one more p.s. I dont believe in policing threads so pro Gerry posters are certainly welcome to debate after all that is what the board is about. If it wasnt about debate it would become pretty boring.

Gerry's politics are he is a republican who admires Bush Junior and Bush Senior. He doesnt like what he calls "limousine liberals". If you dont like how we do things in this country go back to your own country. Gerry is a right winger. Gerry has said all of the above except for the previous sentence. I think he is a right winger.

Here's why Gerry should go this week:

He is the least offensive of all the remaining houseguests.

The house will be much more fun to watch with an all-evil cast

Other then Gerrys ridiculous veto speech I think he has been one of the more likable guests. I think he has some weird issues concerning black and homosexual people but compared to some of the houseguests he looks like a decent guy

The veto speech was the nail in Gerry's coffin. His political beliefs are not an issue with me, and I choose to simply judge his words. He may have been in over his head with a group like this. That being said, it should be Amy leaving and not him.

I don't think most people like "limousine liberals".

Theo there are two George Bushes which I call Senior and Junior. That one had a middle name of Herbert and the other had a middle name of Walker is irrelevant to me. Just to be clear for the ill informed...... The senior I referred to was the father and the Junior is the son. Neither of whose politics I agree with as is my right.

Maris I understand but if you want people to be respectful of your political views you should be respectful of others also.
That said while I'm not a Gerry fan I never believe in kicking a man when he is down....not even roddy.

Maris

I did not disrespect him at all, I said I dont like his politics as one of the reasons I dont like the guy. When Gerry gets out I will totally understand if he doesnt respect me. I wont have a problem with it..

Thanks for the political info, Maris. I wouldn't have guessed Gerry for a right-winger, necessarily.

Now I really dislike him.
