A voice of reason in the cyber-wilderness. Very interesting and observant analysis.
I discovered the same type of dynamic in MTV's show where kids live together and supposedly have a joint goal, and everything is filmed. There was a marathon of all the shows one weekend, and the pattern really showed up (tentative friends, politeness, someone gets mad, talking behind backs, eventually taking sides, someone on the outs, everyone tense, then an event or occurrence that brought them together, close friends by the end of the show, usually). It was so predictable by the end of the marathon; very surprising!
Thanks for the insight,
Shar
