Does One HG Deserve The Win Over Another?
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 09:47 am     Oh yeah Scandalous, I had forgotten about him playing "the gay card" too. That's when he turned into "Gerry, the guy with lots of gay friends." And got all buddy buddy with him and "sympathizing" with him saying that he understood Marcellas' behaviour in the house those first few hours and that he was just "queening out" (his words, not mine.) And then that's when he ACTUALLY said, "some of my best friends are gay, African American male models with catty attitudes." ......... or something along those lines. |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 09:53 am     Well, I'll match Gerry's BEHVIOR towards others to most any of the other HG's BEHAVIOR. Note that when Julie interviewed him when he got booted he was rooting for Dani to win--until he heard what she had to say about him and others. I also feel he had a true liking of Marc. Yep, Gerry just hates anyone of another race.(that was sarcasm, just in case anyone is not certain) |
Crossfire | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 09:56 am     It can be hard to hold most of these people up as model citizens, but Gerry did not come off to me as an example of the worse BB had to offer. I thought he was a pretty decent guy. |
Philamom | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 10:05 am     I have to agree with you, Cross. I don't think Gerry was all that bad. A little misguided in his thinking, perhaps, but not really a bad guy. I think he believed what he said when he took Marcellas off the chopping block -- I personally don't think it was true, but you could tell from his diary room entries that was how he perceived the situation. |
Gina8642 | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 10:44 am     I don't think anyone deserves to win over another. However I think each juror can use whatever criteria they desire to choose one person over the other. If they decide that one person has money troubles and thus deserves to win - that is their perogative, they are the JUROR. If they decide that they'd never vote for a sneak, fine, that's their choice. If they choose to not vote for someone because that person cruelly bashed them behind their backs, fine too. If they decide to vote for someone because they were a master manipulator, fine too again. We, the viewers, don't get to decide the Jury's criteria, only the jurors do. Each juror's will be different from the next. And, they can use whatever logic or criteria they want to. I remember the Survivor where Brian won - Penny choose her vote based on who knew her family. I thought that was the most stupid, self-absorbed reasoning I'd seen to date. However, it was Penny's choice. Brian and what's-his-name where obligated to get to know Penny and try to gain her vote based on her criteria. Just the nature of the game. Personally I'm disappointed that the jury is sequestered this year. I liked the fact that the BB jury had access to everything. It made their decision making process different than Survivor. I enjoyed that. Too bad that is over. |
Sherri | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 10:57 am     Very interesting, but I didn't feel that Gerry's comments indicated in any way that he was racist. I think he was truly concerned that Marcellas was going to be a victim of racism and he was trying to prevent that. At worst, he was guilty of mis-perception as to why the other houseguests were irritated with Marcellas and wanted him out. And I don't think he "played the gay card" either. The whole thing was very unfortunate for Gerry as he was trying to be supportive of Marcellas and all Marcellas did was talk trash about Gerry continually. So, I would have to disagree that everyone in BB3 was two-faced. Lori wasn't and Gerry wasn't, just IMHO. Back to topic - I still think that whoever wins is the person who deserves to win. |
Sherri | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 10:58 am     Addendum - whoever wins playing within the boundaries of the rules of the game deserves to win. |
Scandalousplaya | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 10:01 pm     Gerry is a wonderful husband and father. Unlike Jack he really tried to fit in with the young hgs. I will say this unlike Jack at least Gerry won some competitions. I still remember the slip and slide. Do we all agree that no matter who wins this year, they deserve to win. That means we will have to accept that Allison might win. I still say Robert is going to win it all the way. He's the sleeper. |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 10:06 pm     I liked Gerry ok but it was the fact that he TRIED to fit in with the younger HGs that bugged me. Grow where you're planted, don't be something you're not. LOL! I don't know that I'm willing to agree whith your statement though. I'm not sure everyone deserves to win. I've got this love hate thing with Ali. Her personality drives me up a wall most of the time, but she's playing a smart game and has managed to stay in the game so she's doing pretty good. As much as I hate to admit it, I don't think I'd mind seeing her win it all. |
Tobor7 | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 10:11 pm     Yeah. The one they really vote for is the one they think they MIGHT be able to hang out with-- and maybe get a few freebies here and there. Ride the tails. |
Widowswalk | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 10:39 pm     I would never agree that if Justin or Dana had stayed they deserved to win. No I can't agree to that. They deserved to leave and they did. |
Earthmother | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 12:00 am     Anyone sitting in the seat with the check in their hand is the most deserving because they played the game well enough to be there. This is not a game of who needs the money more, or based on race, religion or how many mouths you need to feed. This game is based on statigies that you use to further yourself such as switching sides, badmouthing, lying, losing competitions, winning competions and a whole lot of luck and if you are smart enough or lucky enough to make it then you deserve to win. |
Widowswalk | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 12:06 am     Anybody acting the way Justin and Dana did deserved to be kicked out and they were. Playing hardball didn't work last year for Dani or this year in their case. |
