Moderator | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 07:58 pm     Folks, let's try to keep it calm and debate about the issues, and not each other. We're have to fun, right? Right? Am I right about that, aren't I? (K) |
Csnog | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 07:59 pm     Mmmmmmmmm I wonder how Gerry lost all that weight IF he was a greedy pig and eating more than anyone else. |
Bmh | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 07:59 pm     I never said that Cajun..he is everyright to converse..but think about it..does it ever go through Gerry's head how uncomfortable it must be for a 20 something to be talking to a 50 year old in a towel or in the shower..I wouldn't want to talk to my parents when I'm in the shower..it is just wrong...the younger people feel comfortable around each-other and that is natural. Gerry can talk all he wants but he should give the younger ones more privacy no young adult wants a 51 year old trying to talk to them in the shower or in a towel..he needs to realize that..and this whole problem wouldn't have happened if CBS didn't cast Gerry so much older than all the others I think the real people that should be wronged are CBS not the younger hg's..just my opinion I am just tired of the pity party for gerry..he has faults too and everybody is too busy dissing and bashing others for there mean words..which isn't right but I hate to see Gerry become the angel and the favorite just because he is picked on |
Bcandscott | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:03 pm     I don't even like him much. I want him evicted this week. But fair is fair, and I think the brats have all behaved badly about the guy. HOW dare he, an OLD person, how DARE he talk to those young people.....really.... |
Crossfire | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:04 pm     Compared to the others, he IS an angel. Always has nice things to say, be it to their faces, or in a DR comment. That is a big part of his popularity. |
Cajunrambler | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:05 pm     I didn't see the HGs last year treat Kent with so much disrespect as they have Gerry. Kent was old enough to be their father as well. |
Bmh | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:06 pm     the funny thing is this is the only board where Gerry is praised and loved by almost all except me and a couple others..all the other boards either hate him or just dont plain like him as a person and is a non-entity in the show..you guys are definitely under-dog people |
Cajunrambler | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:13 pm     Perhaps some of us are in the same age category as Gerry and can sympathize(sp?) with him. Maybe the younger posters tend to support all the Gerry bashing. |
Jimmer | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:21 pm     We were all young once (I know .... that's deep). I recall disagreeing with the views of some older people when I was in my 20's but I never thought of people in their 50's as being old and repulsive. In fact, I thought of that some of these people were really great. Sure, not everyone looks great on the beach like on Baywatch, but so what? I remember there was an “older” guy (I guess he was probably about 40) who used to walk up and down the beach and check out the girls. We thought he was funny, but it wasn't a mean thing, and no one felt offended or threatened by him. |
Earthmother | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:23 pm     That isn't true either BMH this is not the only board that thinks the way Gerry is treated is wrong. I've been to others and many of them are mirror images of this one except they aren't moderated. I don't think it has anything to do with age, it has to do with living by the "Golden Rule." Look how Amy came unglued when she was told she was selfish..OMG this doesn't even compare to the spew from her mouth. |
Wendo | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:28 pm     Bmh said, "does it ever go through Gerry's head how uncomfortable it must be for a 20 something to be talking to a 50 year old in a towel or in the shower.." How the he11 is he supposed to know if they don't tell him???!!! He sees everyone else conversing in towels with each other seemingly comfortably. Should Gerry have one set of rules separate from the other HG??? "Gerry can talk all he wants but he should give the younger ones more privacy no young adult wants a 51 year old trying to talk to them in the shower or in a towel..he needs to realize that.." Why does HE have to have a different set of social interactions from the others? I'm sorry Bmh but your comments smack of age discrimination. Pretty them up all you want, but the fact is, that's what they are. Your basically saying that because the guy is over 50 years of age, he should not interact with the other HG in the same way that they interact with each other. Frankly, that's wrong and if you don't see that, you have a lot to learn. |
Bidasea | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:38 pm     I figure that Gerry treats people in the way they act like they want to be treated..I'll bet if he were with Cassandra or Jamie he would be polite and treat them with total respect..He has already figured out the games of this crop of houseguests. But they will play with each other, but not with Gerry..If it was Roddy leaning over that shower, I'll bet Marc would be just a giggling something fierce..When the girls talked about all of their sexcapades within earshot of Roddy and GERRY, they set themselves up.Gerry probably has 0 respect for them. Even Amy was put off by that shower scene. |
Abby | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:38 pm     Seems to me this is the only Culture that Disrespects the elderly. They cart them off to die in Nursing homes so they wont be seen, Just waiting for them to die. This Gerry bashing on the show and some that is on this board. It is fear of aging and death. Disposable culture, would rather throw away the wealth of Knowlege, these people have learned thru Living than to look at them. Those are not wrinkles, that is mile markers, Miles of living. I would rather spend an evening talking with Gerry, than any of the other houseguests. Those of you that are younger and are in the Prime of your Youthful beauty, Remember my words. :::Steps off the soap box :::Trips and falls::: |
Classycassfan | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:38 pm     bhm I need to interject here that NOT everyone here in the United States are as up tight about seeing their parents in the shower... I am 42 years old have a 25 year old daughter and to this day she comes in the bathroom when I shower if she needs to talk with me... Actually we have some of our best conversations in there, since no else bothers us. She has also said on many occasions that her 10 year old comes in the bathroom to talk to her when she needs to talk to Mom with out a sibling listening in. I am not an un-modest person either. It really is no big deal I have a frosted shower door just as the house guests have and since my bath opens onto my bedroom anyone who is in there can see what is going on in the shower just as the houseguests. Please do not make statements for all when it is your issue. The other thing is your statment about privacy... Gerry does not need to give anyone any privacy that is what big brother is about NO PRIVACY, if someone wants privacy they should not appy to go on this show. JMO time to go watch the show. |
Jimmer | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:44 pm     I have to admit that this whole age thing really bothers me. I hope that not all young people feel this way. This is really depressing. We're all going to get old eventually. |
Bcandscott | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:46 pm     Abby, you reminded me of something. My mother is in a nursing home because she requires 24 hour care for her condition. I have to work, but I want her to have contact with me and so I wanted her to have a telephone. I contacted the home and told them I wanted a phone connected for my mom and they said well, they would have to put in phone jacks, etc. and acted very baffled by the whole thing. I asked them what was the problem, didn't most of the people there have phones and I was told NO, most of the people there do not have phones because their children and families don't want them calling all the time and BOTHERING THEM. Yep, can't let those old people BOTHER the young now can we. Gosh, that might make the YOUNG people so UNCOMFORTABLE. Makes me sick. |
Earthmother | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:47 pm     Did you hear today when Amy told Marc, "he just walked in the bathroom" and Marc said "he doesn't even know how to knock"....hmmmm is there a door on that bathroom? If there is I have never seen it shut. People eat, play cards, and just about everything else when people are in the shower. Actually when I got home from work today I went to the live posts and the bathroom was full of hgs and Gerry was in the shower..how ironic is that. It's a ridiculous argument that Amy doesn't want to have a convo with Gerry while in her towel..then put clothes on..because after she left the shower area and talking to him she went outside, in guess what??? A TOWEL... |
Gbr | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:48 pm     bmh said "..but Gerry has got some serious problems..yes they all do!..But Gerry just really worries me and he scares me " "..I think he should back off..especially because he is 51 and shouldn't constantly try to catch a chat with people alot younger then him in the shower..it is just wrong..I wouldn't want my sister near him " You know what, I have been reading these boards since the start of the show and for some really weird reason (not!!) you bmh stand out. I find your comments to be really sad, Gerry is a human being acting like any/most 51 yr olds, most of our fathers in that very same situation would be acting the same, mine probably would and he is a born again christian not a 'leech' or 'creepy' or a 'monster' etc etc etc blah, blah, blah blah blah, and if you think yours wouldn't then you are living in La-La land and you need to grow up. Gerry is just trying to fit in into an awful clique of people. All you Gerry haters know how to flog a dead horse don't you. For your information, those of us who are rooting for Gerry don't think of him as an "underdog" it means we have compassion and know a true winner when we see one and not a backstabber like some of the others eg, Danielle and Marcellus (two of the nastiest people I have ever heard speak and the most undeserving people in the house), btw this isn't bashing it's fact, they are talking very nasty about other houseguests past and present. I could go on but I would probably end up bashing some of the posters and I do not want to sink to the low levels that some people here on the boards and in the house do. What goes around comes around, I rest my case and I will wait for the fire not that I will pay attention to immature flames. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:48 pm     If there is any comfort in this is that the young bucks can laugh now, but a cue-ball head, man-boobs, and a fresh set of young bucks to point and laugh are all on the way. Live and learn. |
Lucas | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:49 pm     The producers have portrayed Gerry very unfairly, but the one thing they did, consistant with many on this board is one of victim. He is a nice guy, as said, not a pervert, just in a house with a bunch of idiots...but to me he is one of them, he went on BB, look at Kent and George, both became jokes. I like Gerry, but do not see him as a victim, just a character on a reality tv show, and he provided alot of ammo for the others. But really, they trashed Amy too (Chiaria, Roddy others) Tonya ( Marc and AMy and Dani) Lori (Dani et all) Eric was not described as the brightest bulb... Roddy is called the devil almost hourly. Gerry is not really being treated any differntly than anyone else. As others have said, next week, someone else will be trashed, each week someone is. Gerry is getting more this week. My belief is that it is not so horrible as some say. It is a product of the game. You have to justify who you evict, it makes it easier. Amy, Josh, Chiara all were trashed, it helped those staying feel better. It is not so horrible, more an example of the message of BB. As a Gerry fan, I would not take it so hard, it was done to EVERYONE, part of the game, last year, this year, next year. I just do not think it reflects so much on the character of the ones trashing, I think given the circumstance, and peer pressure, many of us might be vunerable to the same thing. Part of the Game, Part of the Game! And really, is there anymore bashing in that house, then on this board...and we are not locked up without loved ones, freedom and the hope of lots of cash...We need to stop bashing, and do more debating and discussing! The houseguests this year in my opinon are no worse than the other years, it is just THIS year... |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:49 pm     why can't we all just get a bong? |
Lucas | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:52 pm     ROFL Tabby! good one! Luke! and...not ageism...gerryism |
Gbr | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:54 pm     Oh and by the way I am only 32 and have total respect for Gerry and the way he played/plays the game. All this negative stuff about Gerry makes me want to go hug him and his family and tell him to not listen to all these immature people bashing him. But I have a funny feeling feeling that he desn't need it. He is a man, a strong man not a weak willed backstabbing immature boy who needs to get a life. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:55 pm     whoa, classy--your 25-year-old daughter has a 10-year-old?!! wow, you were a young grandmother! i had my first kid when i was 31. i think i'll be about 70 when my kids go to college!! you get to still be young with them ;>) |
Wavelength | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:58 pm     This feels like an episode of Seinfeld. Ooooohh! I just saw my mother in her towel, I'm may have to be hospitalized. Every comedian in America makes fun of anyone older than 25. The funniest part of this is that the ones who are totally grossed out by seeing a 51 year old in a towel will someday be that old themselves!! Sweet Justice. |
