With the aid of the scientists,
Big Brother has been dishing out more psychological experiments to the
unwitting test subjects. Under fire this afternoon was the usual jovial
Becky, whose friendly demeanour was successfully quashed after her stint
in the 'impossible maze'. Becky was placed in a giant maze in the garden and told to crawl her way to the cheese, on the pretence that she was in a race against another housemate and the quickest time would win a prize. However, this was a big fat lie as the maze was impossible to finish (cue evil laughing... mwahahaha) The experiment, in fact, was testing how long it would take for her to give up and shout the buzz word "I camembert it" - Have you had enough of the cheese based puns yet? We're sure there are more to come... Least to say, Becky quickly got frustrated with not being able to finish the seemingly easy looking task, calling it a "stupid, stupid game". Nor did it help that Lydia was prompted to only reply to her wails with the vexing line "please continue towards the cheese". So, it wasn't a surprise when she gave up, saying "what a waste of my life, spending time in that maze". The real reason for the experiment was to find out if a rat who has had a night of confidence conditioning (a.k.a Caroline) would take longer to quit than an ordinary rat. The rat in question, Caroline, was tested next and showed similarly poor efforts (even after Big Brother's attempts to subliminally prime her to be super duper confident). In fact, it was hard to call who scored higher on the moan-o-meter between the whinging pair. It wasn't long before she too shouted the buzz words and bailed from the task. However, the result of the experiment came down to who the scientists thought would last the longest between the ordinary rat (Becky) or the conditioned rat (Caroline). The trio picked Caroline to win, which was... *drum roll* Incorrect. Becky gave up at 23 minutes and 20 seconds and Caroline at 15 minutes and 32 seconds. |
