Which is reasonable if it's general quick convo with strangers...., but so too, is not 'skipping that part of the conversation'.... not certainly it's a bit dubious, when you're actually living with people 24/7 in a house for 64 days to continue the pretence.

Unless of course:

(1) Jay didn't mention it quite deliberately or

(2) BB simply decided to ensure the edits shown, were giving the impression that he was just a simple, hard working, down to earth, no trapping, no wealth, type run of the mill average family lad, from 'Newcah ssuullll like'.
