Call me being picky about the social experiment thing. My degree always makes me instantly discount things like Big Brother or other so called reality TV shows because there are a lot of faults with the methods.

Of course, thats why I don't give the definition of social experiment to Big Brother. It's entertainment. Watching people live in a house is very fly on the wall which heaps of people wish they could do from time to time.

I don't care that Big Brother is on my TV mainly because I stopped watching network television around about the same time I realised I could obtain and watch scripted shows via other means before they even arrive in Aus. It's win win!
