Just attempting to figure if the deeds are scripted and the drama is real has been rather fun. Participatory TV more or less as you can call and talk to them in the house. Nana did seem to loose it big time which was quite fun so the entertainment is seen just as much in chat room guest reactions as in the prisoner himself. It has been quite entertaining. As for the BigString recallable email concept, not a bad idea really!

Not only did it get old, fast....but bloggers and chatters are leaving in droves. Pretty much nothing was as it was supposed to be, and what HAS occured has been as a result of manipulation, not voting. A complete train wreck. You were spot on.

If he actually thinks that the decisions others will "vote" on for him to run is life will be better than what he can do/has done for himself - and he has these intense "hang-ups" as he calls them? The boy is truely touched...and needs a serious hair cut. High and tight would be much better than that mess he has now! Wonder if whether or not he gets a hair cut will be voteable? LOL! Seriously, man, he needs professional help. Wow… this guy is in dire need of therapy! Have you read the “Hang-Ups” on the website? Bless his heart.
