Bmh | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:07 am     Gerry is just a gross and creepy man..Marcellas didn't want to hurt his feelings by saying yes directly..so he made up a excuse to get Gerry away from him while he was in the shower..that is perfectly fine..I think Gerry has issues..the guy really scares me..Gerry had no right going up to Marcellas in the first place..they dont get any privacy as it is..Gerry needs to lay off..god I cant wait till this guy leaves.. |
Draheid | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:08 am     Bmh: Psssst, your oppinion is hanging out again!  |
Minnietlm63 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:11 am     I think this shower scene is being blown out of proportion. Demeter made a very valid point about the convo that dani was having with lisa about when Chiara did the same thing to her while she was in the shower. People who live together for a period of time begin to feel more like a family, therefore, becoming more comfortable with one another. It doesn't make them all gay or bi. I feel that people who jump to this conclusion tend to have issues with their own sexuality. I don't know why everything always has to do with sex when in many instances it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with sex. Again, I just think it's the fact that Gerry doesn't have a grip of the personal space rule. But I guess this just isn't juicy enough, so to make it about sex makes it more news worthy. |
Theo17 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:11 am     woody this is gerrys 3rd wife and if he is bi I bet she knows. I know a couple whose wife is bi. its not a problem. she doesnt date other women. they just enjoy porn together and she comments on women a lot. Its not as big a deal as some think. Only problem i have with gerry bi or not is its almost bordering on sexual harrasment. If it was a guy doing all this to a lady in the house people would freak. |
Spunky | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:14 am     Wood,, it is a bit weird when you hear Gerry asking Marcellas, "it's okay if I look (or talk) while you shower??" and Marcellas replying "well, I remind you of the camera above..." and Gerry saying "Oh.." and finally backing away... Mmmm |
Earthmother | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:18 am     Bmh..Gee we didn't know you felt that way!! I hear that it takes at least 7 times hearing the same thing before people remember it..be assured we remember it by now, thank you for sharing..lol I guess I just don't think it's fair to jump to conclusions about an incident which was overlooked by everyone when it actually happened and is now being brought up because they see a snippet of editing on the show. No one knows what the conversation was between the two of them unless you remember it from your feeds (which obviously no one does, because it didn't come up here until the show aired) or you were in the room with them. |
Woodpecke® | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:19 am     GGGGEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ, Theo, Marcellus has been far more direct in his evaluation of Roddy's butt and his lack of interest in Gerry's paunchy body. A peek in the shower does not make Gerry a bisexual, and I think it is completely ludicrous to insist otherwise. Privacy is gone in this house, and if Gerry decided to grope or caress Marcellus and he screamed "Leave me alone you ain't my Sugardaddy", then I would agree there is a huge problem. |
Maris | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:20 am     It did actually come up in the boards and there was a discussion about it. At the time Marcellas went into the HRD room and was complaining to Danni. It was discussed. |
Theo17 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:20 am     Here is the bottom line. The shower scene in itself is not a big deal. The shower scene plus all the crazy comments for 40 plus days might indicate there is more to it. when all is said and done does anyone care if gerry wants marcys package? he isnt going to get it so who cares if he wants it or not. |
Rain | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:22 am     Spunky, you are a liar. I don't often say that to another poster but you are deliberately stating things that were never ever said and exaggerating to hurt Gerry. You obviously have an agenda, so stop your lies. |
Rissa | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:28 am     Rain, don't want to defend Spunky.. don't even know the guy (or gal). LOL But he wasn't lying. The way I remember it is that Gerry asked Marc. if it bothered him that he was talking to Marc while in the shower. Marc. said No, not at all but remember that as soon as there is more than one person in the shower the camara (pointed up) goes on. Gerry said Oops, sorry (as in sorry, don't want to get you on national tv in your all-together) and backed away. |
Theo17 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:29 am     rain which part wasnt said. I think gerry did ask if marcy minded him there and marcy did respond about the camera. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:31 am     Please address the issue and not the poster. A post can contain incorrect information and that can be brought up as a possibility--calling someone a liar is name calling and bashing, as well as an assumption that has no basis of proof. |
Grooch | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:32 am     Marc reminded Gerry that if there are 2 in a shower, the shower camera gets turned on, and Marc would be taped naked,which he didn't seem to want. Marc implied that with Gerry's head hanging over the door, BB could consider it 2 people in the shower. Well, that's the way I took it. |
Wendo | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:32 am     Poor Gerry. Unfortunately, I just don't think he can win in that house. (And I don't mean the prize.) For the most part, most of the HGs in there don't like him, or at best tolerate him. Firstly, that scene with Gerry leaning on the shower door was not just Gerry "staring" at Marcellas. They were talking strategy. I remember seeing it on the feeds. (Honestly, I don't recall what it was anymore.) Marcellas even said something to Dani about it later, how he was trying to talk strategy when he was showering. Secondly, many people in that house have leaned over the shower door to talk to other people. Gerry has seen others do this and likely thinks it must be acceptable. It's up to Mar to tell people (Gerry) it's NOT acceptable. Finally, Gerry just can't do anything right with Marcellas (and likely the other HG's too.) Everything he does is picked apart endlessly by the others. Let's be honest here, they don't like the man! He's older than them, over weight, and from a different generation. Everything he does in their eyes is going to be a problem. Frankly, these people need to learn some tolerance. Or, at least, learn to tell someone if they have issues with them. But they don't, nor have they done so in the past. Why? Because, in the end, he's a vote; either in the house, or on the jury. If Gerry had become HOH, you would've seen a different Marcellas this week with Gerry. He would've been so far up Gerry's a*s he could've wiped Gerry's nose. ps. In addition, the minute Mar asked Gerry to step back, Gerry did. So, let's give the guy some credit. |
Hypermom | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:38 am     Theo, this is Gerry's second marriage and he just celebrated his 28th wedding anniversary. His first marriage was two years. |
Woodpecke® | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:40 am     If you read Theo's last 2 posts in this thread, it is obvious he is merely trying to bait us into a discussion. I need not say more. |
Earthmother | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:41 am     Just like he was the last time Wendo!! Marc thinks because he made the little statement "I may have to say things about you that aren't nice" this gives him license to say things that are downright unacceptable to most people. The fact that many feel they have the right to do the same is very sad. |
Theo17 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:42 am     woody I'm not that sophisticated. You give me too much credit. actually I was pretty much trying to wrap up this thread by sayin in the long run who cares. |
Mollywood | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:43 am     even if they are feeling like family..who wants their family leering at them over the shower door...i used to like gerry, then i felt sorry for him, now he creeps me out..there is something very strange about his imagined "savior" relationship with M. or maybe he thinks M is a lucky charm , if only he could rub his head...get rid of him..only person who is no fun and downright scary . |
Theo17 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:44 am     hyper maybe I misread his bio. I thought it said twice divorced so thats why I said this was his 3rd wife. If i was wrong I appologize. |
Wendo | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:45 am     "Gerry was a little offended that people were complaining about the handwashing bit and said that his private parts were very clean, he's got hemmoroids so he always has to make sure he cleans himself very well and that he would definitely pass Marc's "finger test". Yes, it was too much information on Gerry's part, and mine, but since you asked...." TOO MUCH INFORMATION ON GERRY'S PART????!!! How about too much information on Marcellas's part that we even know what a finger test is! |
Woodpecke® | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:46 am     <Only problem i have with gerry bi or not is its almost bordering on sexual harrasment.><when all is said and done does anyone care if gerry wants marcys package? he isnt going to get it so who cares if he wants it or not.> 2 statements of Theo's that are contradictory. Theo obviously cares or he wouldn't be posting about Gerry being a sexual predator. |
Willnu | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:47 am     I agree with you wendo...Gerry is oblivious to most of his habits that irk the other HG's..some of them irk me as well...but I dont see anything over the line as far as the shower thing..I know people who at times can be creepy or unusual..but that does not taint them forever in my eyes..tolerating some things that you dont like about others is one of life's tests. |
Theo17 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:51 am     wood is it possible in this internet world that maybe I didnt explain myself clearly. I dont care what marcy or gerry do. I was just discussing the subject at hand. I didnt say gerry was a sexual predator. I said his actions almost (key word almost border on sexual harassment. If a guy kept making sexual comments over and over again to a girl and then was looking at her in the shower I feel that some people would find that to be harrasment. I really do not care. i was just giving my opinion. Feel free to condemn me but i was just giving my opinion on all that was being discussed. |
