I can understand where you are coming from there in the sense that it gives you real people you can get to know 24/7 that you form opinions about. Whenever I watch BB I constantly think about what I would say to someone or how I would act in the house if I was in such and such a situation. It's the one thing Big Brother's a revolution in moreso than any book or film. Just getting to know every little nuance about an ordinary person.

Re : Shyness : I used to be really like that. I think it's something a lot of people grow out of eventually to the point where now I am completely incapable of understanding it. People are by and large lovely. They are just like you and they won't bite if you talk to them. Communication and contact with other people is a great thing.

I think it's booze. Once shy people hit that age where they start drinking it really opens up a door because nobody is shy when they drink. It's impossible.
