the experts say they can't which makes me so sure. we even brought in alien experts and they were sure.
it doesn't show a real picture of what people are like. they just ast differently in the hope that they will get more money.
Rhudey-what conspiracy? the aliens wouldn't be sneaky because we are friends with them.
Throughout the series, we have all been nosy parkers, peering over the neighbours' fence and then gossiping next day about their goings-on. The reason it works so well with Big Brother is because we all spy on the same neighbours and share the same knowledge about them. When we hear gossip about other people's neighbours whom we have never met, it is as boring as other people's family trees.
The housemates were nextdoor neighbours to millions of us, and gave us a great deal of innocent fun. If ever you find yourself in the midst of a remote tribe, living in primeval conditions and you investigate what they are chatting about around the fire, you can be certain that they will not be reminiscing about their tribal myths or ancestor figures, but gossiping incessantly about village trivia. Gossip is the oil that lubricates social conversation and that helps us to understand our tribal relationships and our shared feelings and attitudes. In an urban world, this village smalltalk finds it hard to survive. Many people hardly know their neighbours. Big Brother has given us, briefly, a small group of national neighbours and we have all enjoyed comparing notes about them the following day.
