I agree science2win! Finally someone else realises how fake Eugene is.

I didn't think science2win said that Eugene was fake? Just that he was not that intelligent not to be able to see through Derek - which I agree with. I honestly think Eugene is one of the most genuine people in there, but there's no-one in there who he can really relate to, which is why he gravitates towards Derek. It's true though, that when Derek becomes really nasty about people, Eugene isn't entirely comfortable with it. I quite like Eugene, although I did go off him when he turned on Science.

As for him being intelligent, he has natural intelligence, in that he is able to learn things well (and I don't believe intelligence is solely related to age - otherwise how would some 5 year olds (for example) be more intelligent than other 5 year olds), but when it comes to social interaction, he struggles. I certainly don't think he is working for Big Brother, because he would be stirring up more trouble if he was.
