bodybuilder on "Big Brother"

[GymDudeVA]

There is a real bodybuilder on the reality show "Big Brother" this season (Sunday, Tues, and Wed., CBS). He is a "professional" "natural" bodybuilder (I forget which federation. His name is Jessie Godderz (sp).

Anyway, the guy has a great physique (I dunno about the "natural" part, but that's beside the point). However, he's a real tool, and sort of a jerk, and is coming off as sort of narcissistic (not too much for a proud BBer, by my standards, but I can see it).

I don't think he's any worse than most of the fame-whore, egotistical idiots they pick for that show, but everyone (viewers and fellow contestants) is judging everything he says and does in light of the meat-head, dumb, stuck-up, psycho bodybuilder stereotype.

Anyway, what's getting me is that I like to sometimes discuss TV shows that I watch, on the discussion boards at Television Without Pity. I didn't expect to find a lot of bodybuilding fans there, but HOLY COW, the bodybuilder hate is just beyond all reason! This guy is most often described as looking "grotesque" (he's not even close to freaky by our standards), his motivations for getting so big are "scary" (since he must always get "negative feedback" from the public), etc. He is a bit socially retarded, so when the guy talks about his bodybuilding (which he does not do that much), it comes out a little egotistical or something, which does not help.

I posted twice on there politley defending bodybuillding and trying to separate this jerky kid from the rest of us. I got a warning from a moderator to "let people have their own opinions about bodybuilding". ***BANGS HEAD AGAINST WALL***

I have no point, just wanted to vent. I know bodybuilding is not well understood or respected but it was disheartening to see all the distaste, prejudice and misconceptions amongst the general public.

Fell free to go on that board and add your $.02, heh.

Its funny how a lot of anorexics who want to be thin get a lot of self pity from people. But when you meet a guy who wants to get freakishly large he is hated by a good amount of the population before anyone even gets to know that person.

Imagine if they had a really fat person on there and I dared to call them "grotesque".

 

[phatkid77]

LAST NITE HE DROVE ME NUTS... talking to people that could care less about things they dont understand...
"look at me there,,,, imagine what i look like now , only 15lbs lighter!!!"
"my abs were sick, like they were popping out of the skin, my skin was soooo tight"
"if you look at my back now (read..which looks pretty fuckin good), imagine it 15lbs lighter"
blablabalb

either way, phil better make me look like that..lol

phats

 

[Deus ex machina]

I gotta start watching that show. I only saw the first season long ago. I liked Joey from Real World this past season. He was somewhat of a bodybuilder.

 

[celtic-devil]

I dont watch BB (I'm not from the US), bit Jesus Christ, where the fu*ck do the public get the idea that this guy is "grotesque"? Shit, I was bigger than this guy when I was natural. He's in decent shape but nothing remarkable.

I checked out some clips on youtube and this dick walks around like he is Jay Cutler or somethin. News flash Jesse, you aint that big so shut the hell up and quit walkin around like your the next Mr. O.

This is the reason I dont watch reality shows.

 

[STEVO 47]

You know on these reality shows your not going to see normal people
Your going to get the arrogant egotistical ass wipes of all kind.....
Cause thats entertainment.

 

[MrPump]

The reality of the situation is that the general public is going to look at this just like the "people" do in the gym who constantly critisize those who look in the miror looking for inprefections.

Although, im am no where near this level, I see it all the time in the gym. Some BB is getting ready for a competition, he lifts, he looks in the miror, he does a pose...blah blah... no biggie to me, I get it... he is looking for "inperfections" and trying to determine where he is...

But the general public... they see that and they assume he is just all about himself ...They make the wisphers.. "oh he got like that by steroids, I could do that too if i wanted ...blah blah blah"...

Its just the way it is...

What i like about Jesse, is that you when you see him eat... he is still eating right, shakes, bananas, oatmeal... So he is keeping his diet inline...but we will see what happens when he gets on slop for a week.

 

[slimjones]

We cant expect a tv show or a movie or a documentary for that case to give what we do or who we are good light. we all have a target of influence around us starting with family and spreading out to friends, aquaintances, customers, dentist...doctors and so on....These are all people who get to look into our lives and make a judgment based on who we are...the closer they are to us the more accurate the judgement...So, if your hearing alot from friends and family that your an egotistical asshole like that guy on the show (for example).............u just might be. We can only shed good light on those around us....So let it shine baby!!

i feel like singing....."This little light of mine......." i think u get it!! hahahha!!

 

[DOGMA]

Reality show's could not more farther from reality. Those people are scripted to a degree in which the producer's get thier agenda across, which is rating's. It's total crap all of them I just wish they would all go away and then get back to some good ol TV like George Lopez...LOL

 

[GymDudeVA]

but we will see what happens when he gets on slop for a week.

His team won the food challenge last night, so still no slop for him.

I wonder what is in the "slop" on that show. It must be nutritionally sound, since that's all they are allowed to eat for a week. And I hear that they can still drink protein shakes, so it may not really be such a bad diet!! And he's used to self-discipline when eating, so he may be Ok with it.

 

[GymDudeVA]

From a post on the Television Witout Pity board:

"I mean, seriously, why is is head so small? Natural bodybuilder, my ass."

Actually that would indicate he's a natural bodybuilder, juicers are the ones who get enormous fat heads right along with their gigantic muscles. Natural body builders do tend to have puny dorky looking heads, because their body is developed in a way their head is not. But Jessie's no less of an insecure moronic and vain tool.

ROTFL!!!!!

I was flipping through the channels last night and saw big brother so I stopped to see what this bodybuilder looked like. Next thing I know I say to myself "I think I know that guy"? Yup...It was Memphis. We know each other from college. Its funny seeing people you know on random TV shows like that. Even funnier is in college he was a lot bigger then that natural bodybuilder on the show.

 

[SABAGOY]

I was flipping through the channels last night and watched a few minutes of this show last night and that bodybuilder is on it again this season...looks like he put on some serious size...if i remember what he looked like before...he actually has a really good build.

Just curious if anyone else noticed or even will admit to watching Big Brother. LOL

I hate this guy. He comes off as a fucking dumb ass. His dream is being a WWE wrestler.

 

[optgrowth]

yep I watched it last week lol.. he has put on some size since the last season he was on. he was bragging on how he gained an inch on his arms lol I kind of laughed. I would have prbly bragged a bit to. The guy doesnt bother me that much.. to each his own I guess. If I remember correctly he is a member over a bb.com.

 

[i_hulk]

My gf watches it so yes, I also watch the show. He did get bigger. He claimed 1 inch in arms on the 1st or 2nd show. I understand the posing when lifting weights to see the imperfections or spots to work on. What kills peoples judgement about BB's is people like Jessie. Everything he does or says has to do with his body. This is a nationally run show with many viewers. Once they see Jessie act the way he does, they judge everyone that is big the same way. Oh he's stuck on himself, he's a meathead, blah blah blah.
From my perspective, it is someone like him that causes the rest to be judged.

Just my opinions.

Exactly. He makes anyone that BB look bad. On top of that, he is not the brightest bulb either.
