Assuming Gerry wins HOH this week, who do you think he'll nominate?

Working under the assumption that Roddy's gone, I think he'll nominate Marcellas and Amy. After all, he told Chiara that his nominations would be a "real shocker". I don't think that would be Chiara, Lisa, or Jason, since those are probably the people most HGs think he would nominate. And despite the whole hygiene thing, I think Gerry's still on Danielle's side, and wants her to make the final two (to buy the house for her family, blah, blah, blah). But nominating Marcellas - now *that* would be a surprise. I think Gerry might do it simply to break up the Marcellas/Amy duo. He might want to get rid of Amy again, feeling that she shouldn't be there (shade of ORD, I suppose :)), and that he might secure his place in an alliance (even though I doubt that would ever happen) with Marcellas and Danielle if Amy was gone. And he'd think that Marcellas would be the best decoy, so that he'd be safe.

Other opinions? :)

Actually, I think it would be Lisa and Jason; Lisa and Amy; or Jason and Danielle.

I'd bet on Jason and Lisa to be the two Gerry would go after.

He likes Jason, but the two don't spend a lot of time together, and I don't think he gets a good read on what Jason's strategy is.

He might feel Lisa is out to get him since he put Eric and her up for eviction together.

Then again, I could be really off base. LOL!

Isn't Gerry still under the impression that Chiara is going this week? If so, the "shocking" nominations he has planned as of now could well change after Thursday.

That being said, I don't think it will make a difference, because I agree with Muse. Gerry has made it clear that couples must be broken up. Unless he has caught onto the most unbreakable alliance in the entire house (Danielle and Jason), Marc and Amy are the only remaining couple. And, he can also invoke ORD. (Hadn't they all agreed that Amy would be first to go? Or was that a Roddy/Chiara strong-arm tactic that no one really agreed to?) In any case, I really believe that the HGs do all feel that it would be okay to get rid of Amy because of the whole twist thing being not the fairest thing in the world. Not that they don't like her and enjoy the energy she brings to the house, just that she's already gotten the bonus of Mexico and a few extra weeks in the house, but she should certainly go before any of them.

And you know what? I agree with them. As entertaining as I find Amy to watch, I hope whoever is HoH next week puts her up. Sorry, Amy. Say hi to Bucky for me.

WHAT AM I SAYING???!!! Chiara next! Please!! THEN Amy can go. So I guess I want Lisa to get HoH. She'd definitely put up Chiara, right? Would anyone else?

I think Danielle and Jason would put Chiara up, Justshirley. And *maybe* Marcellas. He changes his mind pretty much every day, so it's hard to predict what he'd do.

If I had my druthers, Amy and anyone else with Amy getting the boot. I know she and Mar are funny, but that girl just gets on my last nerve.

He told Chiara that if she's here on the flip side of the eviction that they have some serious talking to do.

Gerry might invoke ORD to get rid of Amy, but I don't see how that would advance him in whatever his strategy might be. Amy's not a threat to anyone right now.

He's made a point of wanting to follow the path of integrity, and has told Danielle a few times how he'd like her to be in the running. Possibly he's changed his mind.

Maybe he's caught wind that Marc is not the pal Gerry thought him to be. In that case Marc may well be one of his choices if Gerry wins HOH.

I still think he'd go after Jason and Lisa, though.

I just have a hunch that Gerry knows a lot more about what is going on in that house than people think he does. This is a guy who teaches, and teachers are very good at seeing the signs and inferring what needs to be inferred. I could be wrong. But I think he has adopted a strategy of staying out of the way, putting up with all sorts of sh*t, all the while keeping his ear to the ground and watching things very closely.

Who would he put up? Marcellus for sure. And maybe Jason to get things more out in the open.

I think he'd put up either Danielle and Jason or Danielle and Marcellas. He definitely knows a lot about what's going on in that house. In fact I suspect when he was supposedly napping he heard quite a bit of Marcellas and Danielle's Sunday afternoon conversation about who should go this week where they referred to him as "the giant".

Justshirley

I agree, What. Gerry may well have caught on to (or even just suspect) the Danielle/Jason alliance. I have no doubt that he truly does want Danielle to go far in the game (at least farther than Jason, who he has no apparently strong feelings pro or anti) so, if he's going to target one of them in order to break up their alliance, Jason would be his choice to go.

If he DOES suspect an alliance between them, then he needs to nominate Danielle to take her vote away. He probably thinks that Marcellas would never vote out Danielle (I don't think that Gerry has heard the anti-Dani comments that Marc and Amy were making -- wasn't that only to Lisa?), and that Amy will vote the way Marc votes. Or perhaps he thinks that it will be Marc and Lisa who vote to keep Danielle. In any case, all he needs are two votes, and Gerry gets to (once again) take his pick. Powerful tie-breaking HoH again this week.

This would be a smart move for Gerry. He can placate Danielle by saying that she's just the decoy (alhtough she hates the whole decoy-voting strategy). But she can't very well berate Gerry for nominating (with the intent to oust) Jason, because, after all, Gerry is under the impression that it's him, Danielle and Marcellas to the final 3. So why would it matter if Jason goes now or three weeks from now?

I'm too exhausted right now to even try to imagine the possible PoV scenarios if Danielle and Jason are the nominees. Just the thought makes my head hurt.

This game just keeps getting better and better. :~)

I agree that Gerry knows a lot about what is going on in the house and how the alliances lay. He is the HG who has probably said the most words but never gives anything away. Kudos, Gerry!

Gerry has been smart to always go after the powers and I don't think he will back off of that strategy.

Dani and Lisa have stayed schmoozie with Chiara and I expect they will snag her into their alliance on a very external level. That will make their group (D/J/L/C) omnipowerful in the house.

By comparison, the A/M alliance is too weak to worry about.

I think Gerry would go after the power and put up Danielle and Jason.

If, by some miracle, Roddy stays this week, I think the alliances will look like: D/J/L - A/M/R - ?G?.

In this case, I think Gerry would put up Marcellas and Roddy.

Oh I do hope if Gerry get HOH he puts up Marcellas and Danny That will be one hell of a cat fight to see.And frankly once Roddy is gone they are the 2 I would not like to see win. KiKi has made big mistakes but I really think she has been doing Roddys dirty work. She has alot of issues thats for sure. Danny has let others do her dirty work, and played the poor me card too much. Marcellas is playing the weak emotional crap, and running around spilling all the beans. Roddy is way to smoth.

Jason and Danni no question IMO,ATPIT.

Well, who knows if this is true or not. But Chiara just told Dani and Li about the Gerry convo after PoV, when he told her that if she stays, they have to talk and do "cleanup". According to her (and who knows if she's lying or not), Gerry wants to get Amy out. Apparently he's not overly fond of her. Just posting what I heard.

It's also an indication that Gerry is searching for an alliance and his target is Chiara. I think that he will target Jason and Lisa. She would blame Jason for Eric and Roddy going and He thinks Lisa is out to get him. Do the math... He figures they can both serve each others purpose. Gerry isn't gonna betray Marcellus and that would also protect Amy and in my honest opinion he wants to align with Dani all by himself later on so he isn't gonna hurt her by nominating her. In order to get what he wants he has to get rid of Lisa and Jason. Just my opinion.

I think he would nom Dani and Jason.

He did say they have work to do if she stays but I didn't get the impression he was talking about Amy. From the look on her face it was obvious that Chiara assumed he was talking about Amy but I doubt that's the case. I don't see any nomination including Amy as being as shocking as he implies his nominations would be.

I would hope he'd go after Lisa and Marcelles, being that they have the strongest bad feelings about him in the house. Getting rid of one of them would give him a little peace of mind and would get rid of a possible danger in the weeks to come. Plus, L and M are sort of chums so it would be breaking apart an alliance of sorts. Too bad Gerry isn't meaner, so when he would nominate them he could say to Lisa; "You've been mean to me from the beginning and never even gven me a chance just because of my age." and to Marcelles; "I was your friend and may I remind you of who is responsible for you being here right now, and all I get in return is badmouthing". But I suppose as many have said he should get credit for keeping quiet, though I sure wouldn't blame him for saying something.

I think that we are all underestimating Gerry and the knowledge that he has about all the HG's. I think that his early mornings, and the way that he's just sort of on the sidelines allows him to gather the information that he needs. I think that he's the only one in the house who is fully aware of the Jason/Dani alliance, just from being an observer. I know quite a few teachers, and they are highly observant due to their jobs. They basically have eyes in the back of their heads, so to speak. I think if Gerry wins HOH (which in my opinion would be awesome!), then he would probably nominate Jason & Danielle.

On a side note for a second, I have noticed on this board on other topics, but since this is about Gerry, and pertains to Gerry, then I'm posting it here (mods, please move if you feel the need to): Everyone seems to think that Gerry's voting to evict Chiara this week, however, I have noticed, and I know that others have as well, that Gerry feels that Roddy is the biggest threat in the house, and this is the first week that Gerry hasn't had to make a "deal". He was very tempted to vote Roddy out last week, and I don't think that Roddy will be able to save himself this week unless he goes to Gerry and aligns with him for the rest of the game. JMHO, going back to lurking now...

Gerry hasn't said a word about who he will vote to evict in days. He told Amy it would be Chiara.

I think Lisa and Jason are also a likely pair for Gerry to nominate. But, if Marc can convince him that Dani is against him, he might substitute Dani up there.

Marc doesn't trust Gerry. I personally think that he should trust Gerry. So, it will be unlikely that Marc will try to influence G's vote. However, I hope he will.

I want D and R gone from this game. However, if R goes this week, D has the numbers advantage to play her game to the very end.

I think if Chi stays this week, then D is very likely to make final two. For that reason, I want Chi to go Thursday.

If Roddy is not evicted, it likely means that Gerry would like to join up with him, and thus Gerry would nominate Dani and Jason.

If Roddy is evicted, then Gerry would target the next biggest threat, and he would nominate Dani and Jason.

I don't see him nominating Marcellus, as far as I can tell he seems unaware of Marc's true feelings towards him. He must know that Lisa is a little bitter towards him because of Eric but so far she doesn't seem to have shown it. So I think Dani and Jason regardless of who goes tomorrow.

am I imagining things or did I read in the live feeds or in the "HOG conversation tonight" thread that Amy said Gerry would nom Jason and Lisa if he gets HOH.

Crazydog

Wednesday, August 21, 2002 - 09:14 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Ugh, I just realized where Gerry possibly could be heading. I'm not so sure about exactly what he said to Chiara, if he said they need to get Amy out or not. But the better strategy for him, after Roddy is gone, is to team up with Chiara and work with Amy and Marc to evict Dani, then Lisa, then Jason. This final four would be disappointing to me because I consider them the four worst players in the game right now. I'm not sure if I'd stop watching, but I'd certainly wouldn't be as interested.

Gerry will put up someone he would not want to be up against at the end. Jason and Lisa would be my guess.

I think Gerry is well aware of what and who are being played in the house. So my though is Dani and Roddy if Rod is still around after tonight as the vote changes minute by minute... I see at least one of the houseguest running to the DR to change their vote before 6 pm tonight. Gerry is playing the game well enough to see that both of these players are going to drop him at the end. So he will try and get one or both of them out of there while he has the chance.

I agree with the posters that suggest Gerry knows far more than he is letting on. Even to the public. Teacher's are very perceptive and plus he has the advantage of experience. 20+ years of living over any the other HGs. I'm sure he's dealt with childish behavior that these HGs exhibit plenty of times in his life. Saying that, my impressions on who he would nominate are Marcellus and Danielle. I Marcellus's act is wearing thin on Gerry and he knows Danielle is a threat to beat him at the end.
