Power created Stanford scenario?

[Kizzy]

Just thinking, has anyone heard of Zimbardos Stanford prison experiment...

Did the 'power' part of the task with pauline bestowing power on helen, and then steven and toya given power as their task is it coincidence that that it's created such a deep 'us and them' divide in the house, or has it inadvertently recreated this prison based experiment with the other HMs being treated as inmates by those who have been given some form of authority?

The power simply went to Pauline's head as it would do lots of people, the divide was always going to happen with the split launch and Toya well she was showing signs of being nippy about certain hm's before the task.
