I seem to have a vague recollection of Dr. Drew doing commentary on the behavior of the HGs on previous BB's. Would love to hear what he has to say of this year's crew. Maybe he could give us some insight on the cruel behavior being displayed. I'm one of those people who give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Could it possible that some of this nastiness is normal(gulp).

That was waaaaaaaaay back on BB1. They also had the internet lady, or the AOL lady. I think they could really use a psychologist or psychiatrist for BB4. :)

I don't know if I'd call the nastiness normal, but it is probably not as rare as it should be.

I think they should just have a "shrink" in the Diary room :)

I just saw an interview on CNN's Anderson Coopers new show. He spoke to a psychiatrist that worked for CBS and the reality shows. It was very interesting but the doc seemed like he needed to see one.

The doctor worked on BB and Survivor.

I saw that a couple of days ago, and I thought that the psych handled himself quite well, and it seemed a bit like Anderson was trying to lead him into a Reality TV slagging session which the doctor resisted.

I don't know if we saw the same segment or not, but it would be odd for him to cover the same material twice within a one week time frame.

Call Bob Newhart. Jun, Alison, and Robert could sit in with Mr. Carlin.

I watched him very closely. His eyes darted back and forth and he seemed a little out of his element. Maybe Anderson knows a little to much about what goes on behind the scenes.

Wish Anderson would come back on the Mole. Loved that show.

The Mole was terrific. The best of the genre.

LOL Woodpecke® at Bob Newhart/Mr.Carlin.

Took me a minute to place Mr.Carlin, thought you meant George Carlin LOL, the way these HGs speak, they'd even make ol George blush!

LMAO Wood... Luved the Bob Newhart show. Mr. Carlin was totally buggy.

I think Bob would be very unconfortable around Jun and Ali... can you imagine it... LOL

What would Bob say to Ali about her language?

Erika has mentioned speaking to a doctor in the DR after Rob and the Ex's entered the house.

Yes, Spear, you're right. I do believe there is a psyche doctor of some kind available to the houseguests when they need it.

Also, IIRC, last year during the final days for Lisa and Dani, they visited the psyche doc several times before the end of the show. I imagine they do that then since they don't get to see one like the evicted do once they're out of the house. (Sort of like a debrief type thing.)

Baymindy, that's exactly what I've been thinking. I would LOVE to see a psychologist's report about the contestants, either individually or as a group. Being locked up for a couple of months (whether it's your own choice or not) would tend to make anyone's personality go "off" a little, I would think.

My original take on Jun was that she was a brassy big mouth, NYC girl (such as myself) and I related to her completely. My first take on Alison was that she was an extraverted, hard playing competitor. None of these characteristics being particularly bad. I can't help but think some wiring got crossed in their heads during their long stay in the house. Again, IMHO, I believe that there is a psychological factor playing in this and just bringing out a terrible side of them that even they are not aware of.

As for Robert, not to bash, but I just don't think he is the sharpest tool in the shed and had some serious issues way prior to coming into this house.
