Description

The ONLY book on the psychology of the big brother tv show. Learn to watch the Big Brother tv show in the same way as the psychologist watch the show. Throughout this book the reader will learn to be able to 'read' the unconscious information that the Big Brother housemates give off verbally and non-verbally, noticing whether they are likely to be lying or telling the truth, whether they are being manipulative, who is likely to do well and who is not, and much more. You will learn what impact being in the Big Brother house is likely to have psychologically on the housemates and who is likely to cope best under the conditions set by Big Brother. The reader will also learn about flirt signals, bullying in the house and interpreting the housemate's dreams. Throughout this book I have used examples from UK Celebrity Big Brother 2007 to illustrate the points that I am covering.

"As a fan of Big Brother I watch it in a different way to most people. Due to my training and experience as a psychological interpreter when I watch Big Brother I observe how the different contestants behave and interact with each other. I don't make interpretations in quite the same way as most other psychologists and psychotherapists do.

For example: Many psychologists look for specific behaviours and then make interpretations based on isolated behaviours. One common behaviour is that crossing your arms or legs means that you are being defensive. This may be true but if you see this behaviour you shouldn't take it in isolation to other behaviours. It could equally be that it is cold or that the person is more comfortable by crossing their arms or legs.

The key point that I would make is that you should keep in mind to watch out for PATTERNS. If someone, for example, covers their mouth and you think they were lying then look for other behaviours that were done at the same time and then check these in future situations. Poker players do this often to notice the behaviours of other players that give away whether they have a good hand or not.

I had a client that when talking about her problem subtly dug her heals into the ground. I changed the subject then after a few minutes talked about it again and saw her dig her heals in again. I knew then that a suspected pattern occurred. She wanted to get better but it turned out she was getting something out of being ill (attention from her husband). After thousands of hours of watching people you get used to quickly picking up on people's patterns of behaviour and on ways you can test those patterns.

There is so much that I could cover for you to look out for when watching Big Brother that I have to cut down to what I think are the key points."
