Well, of course they do. They've got very little else to do but talk about one another. They're stuck in that house, no contact with the outside world, no input. They dont have tv, or access to current events. They are the current events.

There are only so many times you can discuss your favourite movies. So naturally they gossip about each other.

I think those bitching/gossip sessions have become a lot less unkind and a lot less one-track since Dan left.
