Abby | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:39 pm     Its not just Gerry alone that is hurt by this editing of BB...and most of us know that is what it is,,, But his children, Wife, Friends. BB is making this out to be. They dont show the adverse behavior of the others.. they magnify Gerry's or totally make it up now, and that is what is unfair. |
Maris | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:42 pm     I would comment as Gerry said today in his conversation with Danni. He made a selfish decision to go on BB for notoriety. Gerry knew the risks of going on the show and it was he and nobody else who put his family in that terrible position of having to defend him. Where was his responsibility to his family? It is like he said, he was selfish. |
Trillian | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:46 pm     Chiara's family probably isn't thrilled either. That's the nature of the show and the time for HGs and their families and friends to carefully consider this is before they apply for the show, and then again before they finally agree to participate. There's a lot to give up for a chance at $500K. Maybe no one with kids should do it - I don't like the idea of a parent even being away for their child(dren) for so long. That absence is sad, let alone having to be embarrassed by anything that happens in the house or by the way someone looks on TV. CBS can't give the HGs' families an editing bay and let them produce the show and anything short of that is going to lead to some level of misery. I think there should be some sort of informed consent about this - they should know what they might be in for and how hard it could be on those they love the most. |
Abby | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:49 pm     So are the other 11 HG selfish too? they dont seem worse for wear. They dont have BB making them out to be a Lusting homosexual baffoon, do they? What if that was your Father...knowing yeah he has his faults like the rest of the human Race... But he is basically, just a Joe that wants better for his family.. And to have him humiliated on National Television, three times a week? That ok? Thats just the way the Film splices??? |
Canuckgal | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:50 pm     Thanks Off2cthwizard! Much appreciated! I'd refund you the cash, but Monopoly money has more value in the USA than Canadian funds. |
Robbien | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:53 pm     But there is so much more material here in the house for the producers to work with. Come on, it's kept me glued to my monitor. They didn't have to take such a low road when there were so many options. |
Trillian | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:54 pm     If you don't want to look like a bufoon, don't act like one. Editing doesn't make Chiara hump furniture, Jason cry, or Gerry stare at women discussing sex or look at Marcellas while he showers. While editing the show, *of course* they're going to show the juicy stuff - that's common sense. Ratings = money. And of course they'll also play it up (with music and montages and such). Anyone who's watched even one episode of a reality shows should know that, and if they've never watched one, they're *really* volunteering for anything to happen. |
Saggkl | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:55 pm     Yes ,Yes, yes, Abby. |
Maris | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:57 pm     I think the HGs with children are selfish. It is a selfish decision. Dani, is in that house and is going to be in the house when her daughter starts her first day of High School. Going to High School is a very big deal and can be very scary for a kid. Who is taking her for her new school clothes? It isnt her mother. There she is on the internet today saying "motherfo" that is nice. Then you have Gerry, while he may be treated harshly by CBS, he gave them all that material, every bit of that is on tape provided by him. Those that are single, they also are subjecting their families to embarrassment but that isnt the same thing as putting your kid through it. |
Edno67 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:59 pm     all the following around that gerry does to mar is from pure friendship,because since the begging and the veto ,gerry was rejected by most in the house and couldn't talk to anyone and hardly anyone would talk to him,,,,,,you can;t just be by yourself and try not to talk to someone,and it was mar that he had to talk to,,,he thought mar was his friend in the house,,when he truely wasn't when ger finds out all the things that mar has said about him he'll be truely surprised and saddened They don't seem to show how dan goes and hunts down people in every other room almost all day long,,,,cornering people and making up thier minds for them |
Maris | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:03 pm     Gerry let Danni know today that he was onto Marcellas and Amy. He told Danni that Amy had to go because she was a negative effect on Marcellas. He said that Marcellas carried a large burden being gay and he said that marcellas was whiney and was getting on his nerves. Gerry is not as clueless as everyone likes to think he is and just watch him as the week progresses,his mean streak is beginning to show . |
Abby | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:06 pm     Do they get the same treatment as the TRI-WEEKLY GERRY BASHING SHOW? Brought to you by Dunkin Doughnuts! Did they show the Amy and Marc Wishing another human-being dead routine? No.. They show the Quirks of the others, Passing Gas? No..Did they show the others stuffing their mouths, CLOSE UP? No. Where do you think they spit their Mouth rinse or toothpaste? Did they show that in slow motion. Do a clip of all that not once but three times a week? Nope |
Canuckgal | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:06 pm     Trillian, in many ways I agree with you. But have pity - they hg's are stuck together on camera 24/7. Cameras even in the toilet and shower for heavens sake! Try to go ONE DAY without doing something inappropriate in the opinion of others, frankly I'm sure I do, and if most people are honest... But the difference is that we make our mistakes privately or whatever, not on television. Of course they know they are on a tv show, but have you noticed how differently they dress and behave during the live shows... That's because they are hyper-aware once again where they are. Otherwise, they have to have constant momentary lapses where they forget themselves. Especially at the halfway point they've probably gotten too comfortable with the cameras, and forget that the cameras are always aware of them. Many of them have stated as well, although incorrectly, that they think the house has areas where the cameras can't catch them, etc. Phew! Rant Over. Frankly it was easier to be a lurker... ;) |
Maris | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:10 pm     Now Gerry is making his pitch to Roddy. He is sick of Amy's whining. Then again we are all selfish says Gerry, it is inherently selfish to be in the house. Roddy is telling him he has a chance to stay in the house. Roddy is telling Gerry that he has had a lot of publicity with the game. Gerry says he got into this to take a risk. Roddy tells Gerry that odds are that he will not win. Ok so Gerrys pitch to the others will be that he is sick of Amy's whining and will attack Amy that way. Looks like Gerry is going to play and do what he can to stay in the house even if it means badmouthing someone else in the house. He liked playing chess with Roddy more than anyone else. He tells Roddy they come from the same scumbaggery circles. |
Babyruth | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:12 pm     Gerry said those things? Good grief, the least of Marcellas's burdens on BB3 is being gay. His big burden is his vicious personality. |
Bmh | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:13 pm     That wont help Gerry..Dani and Marcie will just get annoyed..and Jason will want him out even more..it isn't gonna help him by bad-mouthing Amy..ugh..the guy is an idiot..he is shooting himself in the foot..and Roddy is acting all cool and calm..knowing very well that Gerry will be out the door on thursday..he is just playing Gerry..poor guy should just surrender and tell everybody to vote against him..he is gone |
Abby | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:14 pm     Maris.. I respect your views and alot of your Posts are interesting and entertaining, We agree to disagree. No hard feelings.. Just ranting and I am sorry Board if I went on and on ..::humble begging of forgiveness.:: |
Vonne | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:16 pm     Thanks Maris for all the wonderful updates, glad to know he's not going down without a fight. Keep 'em coming! Go Gerry! |
Maris | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:17 pm     Its no problem for me Abby, I dont even know what you are apologizing for. It is really easy to get sucked into this show because it really plays on you. It changes from hour to hour. For example, marcellas and Jason just had a talk and Jason told Marcellas that no matter what Gerry is out. Marcellas said that Gerry is trying to corner him and he keeps running away. jason told Marc that his running days are over as long as nobody changes their vote. The question is why is Jason so determined to get rid of Gerry. What did I miss? |
Robbien | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:18 pm     I agree Maris, he may not be a candidate for my new best friend, but for pete's sake pick less embarrassing things to air. He's not in favor of female teachers, he's pompous, he's boring, he's bigoted, he talks behind people's backs, etc. Air some of that if they need to air negative things. I believe the family can handle that. But that he's dirty and he's a homo wannabee? |
Cyn | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:25 pm     have to drop a line in here stating that i do get the posters that are stating how unfair and uncalled for editing of Gerry on tonight's show was. the editing that made him look like he might have bi-sexual tendencies. i was laughing until i came in here and was reminded that most tv viewers don't get to see and hear what we do. i took the portrayol of Gerry initially as Marcellas being more delusional. i would love for Gerry to win the American Choice video, but fear that a few of the HGs might start to rag on his family with more specific references. i would rather keep them protected as much as possible. i will not vote for him for that reason alone. Gerry's an ok human. but, he's not in an ok place. of course, he's gonna be sad. i would love to hear Gerry come out and tell them all a thing or two. but, he's only gonna scratch the surface. |
Trillian | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:32 pm     Canuckgal, ITA, I think living in a house full of cameras and microphones would be unbearable (let alone all the other things - voting people out, living with strangers, etc.). I know I couldn't do it. They knowingly making sacrifices out of greed/desire for notoriety/whatever. But a lot of reality TV show people wind up used & discarded by the shows, basically. The networks and producers make plenty of bucks but other than the winner, most of the participants make little money. They have big dreams but little chance of reaching them. I do feel sorry for them, though I think naivete and greed/whatever often plays a significant role in their being let down. And you're right - judging by what some of the HGs have said they are very ignorant about what will be shown on TV and the net. I think they must already be warned in writing and sign a contract that anything can be shown. But some of them thought the internet won't show them swearing, and that things like the peanut butter bikinis wouldn't be shown. This needs to be made clear to them because it's the moral thing to do, even if it makes for slightly worse TV. However, I think some of the people are picked because they are "loose cannons" or exhibitionists or whatever, and they'd display the same behavior anyway. |
Canuckgal | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:46 pm     I agree that once the show is over, for many the glory is shortlived, and their fame/notoriety is discarded and forgotten. But if you consider what I call the 'LCD factor' Lowest Common Denominator Factor, then that would make sense of the fact that 2 of the scummiest folks from last year- Nicole and Krista - now have their own radio shows! Meanwhile,sadly, the 'nice ones, like Curtis, Josh, Eddie, and Monica, and Hardy, have disappeared into the ether... |
Trillian | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:50 pm     I can't even stand to think about Krista having a radio (or should I say radi-ho?) show. Ick. I think too often being colorful is considered being interesting, and so the notorious ones get more benefits from being on the shows. At least there are some exceptions... Jerri's career flounders, while Elisabeth hs her own TV show. And if someone is smart about it - like Amber - they can parlay their reality show experience into something not dependent on maintaining status on a celeb 'hotlist.' |
Csnog | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:57 pm     Lets see now Mmmmmm. Dannie was shown (3) times dancing with her feet on the counters where they prepare food and Chiara offers herself up for dinner and desert on the lazy susan on the table and Jason licks his fingers and touches other dounuts but Gerry gets bashed by Dannie for washing a pair of outer shorts in the sink with soap. Tonight BB again took 50 days of living in the house and condensed what Gerry did to make it look like this all happened the last few days. 3 guys looked at Tonya and Chiara shower but of course that was just a fun thing to do. Just where does Marcie want Gerry to go in the house? This is NOT just Marcies house and yard. This years BB will be known for being the meanest in the history and I will probably not get interested in this program next year. I blame BB for not giving them enough to do. There are no weekly challanges as there have been in past years. BB could have also thought up some charity that the HG's could have worked on such as building toys for children for Christmas or the hospital. I am disappointed in the editing of the show. BB truly has their favorites and they interfer with the game. I can hardly wait to see the HG's have to clean the pool and HT when Gerry leaves. Jason may think he's smart aligning himself with both strong players but they will never let Jason reach beyond 3 rd place. Both Roddy and Dannie need someone like Marcie next to them to have the votes to win and they know it. I have never seen another HG ASK Gerry his opinion or include him. Dannie assumes Gerry is a wild card and has never asked him to join her alliance. She has never engaged Gerry in a conversation yet Gerry got Eric out for her. Gerry was the only HG to have the guts to put up a couple and thus made Lisa a better player. Amy on the other hand did take revenge against Chiara but should have realized that Roddy was the reason she was given a 7 - 0 vote. Marci is there for face time and is a mean, selfish, self centered snob. I wish for Marcie everything he wishes for Gerry. |
Allietex | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:35 pm     It has been common occurances for people to be in the shower room while other people shower. I have seen several men sitting or standing around the shower while the women and other men were in the shower. Don't make more of it than it was. If it had been Roddy, Marcy would not have complained and BB would not have bothered to show it. There have been facinating conversation and happenings in the house all week and the producers pick something like this. It has become a regular feature on the show. For three consecutive weeks BB has bashed Gerry. The only bashing of Gerry that is shown is the mildest. They don't choose to show the really disgusting and mean stuff. That would tarnish the image of their little darlings Marcellas and Amy and heaven forbid if that was to happen. It makes me sick. does anyone have the email address of CBS and BB. I think we need to flood them with protests.It is totally uncalled for. |
