I agree. I don't think it's specifically a BB game. It feels like the persona he's developed to cope with media situations (perhaps since his surgery). I can't imagine that he carries on like that in real personal situations with people who genuinely mean something to him.

I think the HMs strategy would have been better just to encourage and let him run endlessly with his monologues and not try to actually connect that much at a personal level, perhaps they would not have got so aggravated and frustrated. It looks like that may be what Audley has done - well it looks like Audley doesn't spend too much time around him at all but it's hard to tell with limited view time.
