I am a school psychologist, but I tend to think I need more analyzing on a personal level for the kicks I get out of all of this. I am a high school teacher with my degree to be a school psych, but I am haven't moved on to that office yet. I tend to compare all the house guests with high school cliques and it makes me silently cuss when I realize how short the summer really is!

To better understand them I visualize myself in that house and (yep, it's creepy) I see myself acting a lot like them, paranoia sets in very easily in that house and so I can understand their obsession with lying, backstabbing, thinking the worst when looking others talking, all this would create a certain level of anxiety, 'altered states', we're really not ourselves there. All of this I can understand, but I do agree that sometimes the true nature of the individuals there comes through all too clear, we may be influenced by the unusual surrounding and the following cameras make us self-conscious and may restrain us, but watch them after a month in the house, cameras will be forgotten and their true nature will become more clear and that's when we usually begin to either despise or like some of them. Let's see how I feel about them in about a month. Great topic!

I have a psych degree with a minor in sociology, and have worked as a mental health service coordinator. Everyone falls somewhere on the spectrum of mental health, and IMO this is how the HG line up, from the most mentally fit at the top to the least mentally fit at the bottom: Kail Nick Dustin Mike Eric Jessica Dick Jameka Daniele Amber Joe Jen Zack My two most important criteria were general productivity (competition performance, and strategic decision making) and social competence. I predict that the winner will come out of the top five.

That is a really interesting perspective Zmanl28. I'm surprised at a few of your observations, but that's why I find the whole BB experience fascinating.

I think your assessment is spot on Zman... ...I'd be interested to see how the HG's finish in comparison to your list!!

Armchairing is such fun! Who is the biggest name dropper? I think Jen and Dick are running neck and neck. When did she say she was nanny to Vanna White's kids? I missed that.

Nick is too damaged right now to play a strategic game. He should be a little lower on the list also I feel Daneile is a good manipulator and should be placed higher.

After what I just saw on the feeds, MAYBE Danile is borderline personality disorder. We need to know know more about her life between 1 and 3. To sum up boderline personality disorder......."I hate you...........don't leave me." Regarding her parents and other people the person loves. It is a breakdown of bonding between a mother and child at an early age. Either the Mother leaves or the Father takes the child way (even for the child's best interest}. This can make the person latch on to someone that can tolerate their mood swings and instability. It makes it hard for them to keep most long term relationships. It also make it hard for them to keep jobs. Most mature out of it after 40. No degrees here, just knowledge.

From my armchair, I have noticed signs of two psychiatric disorders: Anorexia Nervosa and Gender Identity Disorder. After watching the Tuesday show on Tivo, I'm genuinely concerned about Daniele's weight (I‘m aware I‘m not the only one who's noticed.) There was a shot of her back as she was walking away that really alarmed me. Youth has a way of mitigating the effects of distress on the body and I'm sure all the HG are monitored closely, but I’m wondering if in the coming weeks, she will have the physical well-being to stay in the house. I don’t care what they have to do, she should never be restricted to slop -- I wonder if she would be ok with PBJ like in previous seasons. The last thing they should do is discourage someone with an aversion to food from eating. She should have constant access to ice cream, or whatever her favorite food is. I believe that if she met the diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder, she would not have been allowed on the show, but I also believe the effort to find pairs of HG with “unfinished business” may have put her in the house when otherwise she would have missed the cut. If you think I’m wrong about this, I hope, for her sake, you’re right. Until 1973 the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, used by mental health professionals, included homosexuality in its long list of mental disorders. A vestige of this earlier diagnosis, known as Gender Identity Disorder (GID), remains. So, as controversial as it may be, Joe and Dustin may fall within the parameters of this “disorder“.

Mummy, I 100% agree with you. There are obvious issues with Danni and abandonment. Also looking at the list with Kail on top. Last night I watched Kail loose her composure. I don't think she is as strong as she comes across. She is battling her personal ethic's and this game.
