Indybarb | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:35 am     let me start by saying i DO like gerry... however, i think the tears are a bit much... he knows he is going.... he is the only one of the bunch who has actually said (that I heard) that he really thinks there will be "celebrity" after being on BB... he will be sadly disappointed |
Theo17 | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:39 am     indy last year they all had agents and thought they would be stars. I laughed so hard at nicole when she mentioned her agent. Unless there is a remake of the wicked witch of the west I think the role nicole is looking for is gone. I feel bad for Gerry and his family. BB and the life feeds have really bad him look foolish and almost perverted. |
Marameko | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:43 am     I don't think perverted, but definitely lacking in good hygiene habits and in need of a nice long pedicure. |
Crazydog | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:44 am     I feel sorry for Gerry's family, but not the man himself. There is a certain amount of editing spin to the TV show that has made Gerry look bad, and most everyone seems to think CBS has done him a disservice. But the live feeds simply are recording what happens. If he looks foolish on the live feeds, it is all his own doing. |
Theo17 | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:45 am     Maramenko I'm not saying he is perverted. I'm saying between marcy, lisa and kikis comments and gerrys own comments they have given us a view that is not typical. Dont get me wrong I really feel sorry for the guy and especially his family. |
Mystery | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:46 am     But when CBS doesn't show the live feed recordings of other HGs doing equally vile things, that DOES point to discriminatory editing, I think. I'm sorry that he's so upset. |
Indybarb | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:48 am     lol theo, i agree about nicole... i do feel sorry for gerry's kids.... especially the way amy and mar belittle him in every degrading way they can imagine.. i think it is probably good he will be going this week.... it is making me get depressed just watching!!!! |
Theo17 | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:49 am     Mystery I think they have painted a much cleaner image for Marcy and Roddy the they did for Gerry but what are you going to do? 90% of the people that see the shows dont know what we know on these boards. |
Theo17 | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:51 am     indy barb the only thing that could make up for this to gerrys family would be for him to win. Can you imagine the crap his kids are going to hear at school. especially about him (possibly) being interested in Marcy? |
Indybarb | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:54 am     OMG theo....so right..... forgot about marcy and then the shower scene! guess i would be crying too!! fortunately, i am also watching the US Open and some good tennis..... this is going to be a long day ..... actually probably slow until thursday night and the new HOH... |
Draco | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:56 am     I don't like to see any of the HGs upset and sad. Even though I might not be a big fan of Gerry I hope he and his family can deal with the consequences of his time in the BB house. |
Chance | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 12:10 pm     No one is sure why Gerry was crying. I really doubt G has much of a clue about alot of the Hgs cruel words except for Josh. Last night G had a long heart to heart talk with M. Afterwards M talked with A/D He didn't trash G like he usually does. He did say, however, that G was clueless as to most of the other HGs negative feelings re G. M was (FINALLY) showing some concern about the possible negative stuff G and family would&have endured re Gerry being,"the joke of the house" They(M/G) also seem to know there will be little celebrity after BB is over. |
Maris | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 12:12 pm     Gerry has been pouring on the tears more than Bunky ever did. Last night it was the I have put my family through so much and I wish I could bring the money home to them, Oh I am going to cry now. Gerry announces everytime he is going to turn on the tears and I think it is all a sham. The guy is an actor. I also wouldn't be too sure that Gerry is going to go. A lot can change in 24 hours. I dont think the Live feeds "made" Gerry look anything. The live feeds were what they were and he participated. Lets face it if I was his wife I would not be too thrilled that he revealed that he met her when he was still married and living with his first wife and that he met her at a nude beach. When asked if his wife was nude at the beach he answered of course we both were. That would be a little too much information out there if I was her. I am sure that she will forgive him and their lives will get back to normal. The show is another matter, they definitely accentuated his naaaaaasty habits and behavior. |
Bbholden | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 12:20 pm     I think we might just have to consider that all the trashing and bashing is part of the role the HGs have to play. When they don't trash each other, the DR sees to it they find a reason. A lot of this is scripting, not that I'm sticking up for Marci as Amy puts on a show also, but not so blatantly and not to Gerry's face. I also must be one "dirty" lady, and I know that's not true because I pay a good deal of money to a housekeeper and her assistant to be sure my home is clean... yet, my hubby has been known to pick his feet, cut his toenails right in my very bed, and every time he complains about his hair falling out, I remind him that most of it can be located in our bathroom. I have sat my children on my table, bathed them in my kitchen sink, washed my hair, their hair, and occasionally a friends hair in that sink... I use a dishpan to set the dirty dishes in and our housekeeper has the dishwasher to wash them in. I've had more booger noses pressed against my windows than I care to think about... Gerry is just a guy.... with relaxed habits he is unaware are upsetting to others. My hubby still cannot figure out why I do NOT want him trimming his toenails in bed. hehe Of course, hubby also thinks passing gas with his rump in my direction is part and parcel of being married..... will he ever learn? I doubt it. |
Marameko | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 12:23 pm     Maris.........oh my virgin eyes ! He met his present wife on a nude beach !! He is running his mouth wayyyyyyy to much. I was unaware he has been sharing so much of his "bidness". I wonder what his 1st wife thinks.Poor thing is probably a nice man , but oh my...... |
Heyltslori | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 12:24 pm     Just adding my two cents... I feel badly for Gerry. I think it has to be extremely hard to try and fit in with people that he basically has nothing in common with. He must feel like the odd man out all the time...which is why I think he does some of the things he does. And as far as the personal hygiene thing, I know for a fact that if myself or most of my family were that carefully scrutinized that there would probably be many instances where people could say negative things. Imagine cameras following your every single move. I know that they sign up for that...so it's not that I feel sorry for them...but it just seems like sometimes people can be really cruel with their comments. This morning obviously was just stressful for Gerry and I, for one, can easily understand and sympathize. I hope Gerry focuses on the good things that came out of his bb experience...the friendships he made, his terrific weight loss, and all of his fans! |
Bbholden | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 12:24 pm     I also think Gerry's children are above average in intelligence, and with Gerry's help, and Debra's, will realize even our comments, in the overall scheme of things, means nothing. Gerry is going to make sure they are not overly affected. I do believe he is a good person who has their best interests at heart. Perhaps doing something for Gerry should be considered in the doing something for a HG thread. Instead of Gerry, how about something for his children? A way of saying to them that they need not take it to heart, what was said or what went on... in the house, or on the message boards. |
Csnog | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 12:28 pm     < > Gerry is just now realizing that he is going. He will be a celebrity at home and his work. < > |
Bearware | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 12:31 pm     Let me say, I don't like Gerry much, but I don't think the tears are a sham. I think Gerry genuinely likes these people, and the thought of losing the game, and leaving them is upsetting him. Now, with that said, I also do NOT feel sorry for his family, for him, or for his wife. When Gerry signed in on this project, he was NOT stupid, hadn't been sheltered, and knew the 'old guy' would get treated poorly. He signed on anyway, and so did his family. As for the information about his wife and the nude beach, etc., well, that's just the way it was. Why do something if you're too embarrassed to admit it? Gerry sees nothing wrong with his behaviors, and probably won't. He does have a bit of a shock coming to him when he sees how he's been trashed by the rest of the houseguests, but, he KNEW the risks when he went in there. He made his own bed, now he bears the burden of lying in it. |
Silversamba | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 12:44 pm     I think Gerry would have acted differently if he had known the crap that has gone on behind his back. Since no one does much to his face, he doesn't really change any behavior. I feel for his wife having to tell him about all of the ugly stuff. What I really wish is that he found out about some of the stuff(especially about Mar's behavior) and then made some parting shots in his exit speech. |
Jagger | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 12:45 pm     I don't feel sorry for Gerry, yes people have been treating him like sh*t, but when he decided to go on the show he knew that anything could happen, he knew, as they all knew, that cbs would portray them in any manner cbs so chose, and he still agreed to be on the show. He was willing to take the risk just to get the money. |
Marameko | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 12:51 pm     I feel sorry for him watching the tapes, which we know his wife probably did .........And to visit sites like this one..... |
Wedge | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 01:01 pm     Right on Jagger! Totally agree...every HG should be able to be scrutinized, trash talked , slammed on for weight, creed, sex whatever ...I could go on and on...not on "here" of course but if they wanna have a free for all in the house about any of "said" issues go for it, and they have with a few touchy exceptions. I wont even go into what I am thinking right now....not worth it. Probably politically incorrect as well. I like Ger and firmly believe he will be OK with what he see and hears as a result of him being on the show... |
Woodpecke® | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 01:03 pm     Marcellus nasty words directed at Gerry and others have shown him to be very crass and completely without tact. I would have a tough time saying even one nice thing about him, and when Gerry sees what Marcellus said about him, he will be amazed and angry. By the way. CBS has not fully captured Marcellus and his behavior completely. |
Snogrl | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 01:10 pm     Bbholden......relaxed habits...lol |
