DID YOU KNOW (miriam)

[odelay24]

Miriam went into the Australian Big Brother house. Prior to this, none of the housemates had ever seen her, because the program aired while they were in the house.
It took the housemates under 2 minutes to guess her secret.

Now, compare Miriam to any number of girls in thread tagged as "passable". Maybe not so passable? lol.

Lots of gg's get flagged as trans when they aren't.

Because its on the backs of some people's minds, its harder for GGs to pass as GGs compared to the past.

She's too good-looking and when you're that good-looking, people will tend to look more closely and scrutinize.

yeah.usually when somene is too prefect in there make-up and to beautiful that usually gets you wondering and then you start to pick it apart because it to good to be true

[dan_drade]

I doubt that it is true. It is probably just made to look that way.

No I don't think it is true. It sounds like it was Nadia Almada the Winner of Big Brother 2005 in the UK. She went the whole of her tenure in the UK with no-one guessing, but those damn Aussies sussed her out in about 2 mnutes when she went over there, for a brief stint. I guess us Brits are just a bit too polite lol

Well, I'm one of those that thinks that Big Brother is one big act. Whoever it was and wheter they really guessed her "secret" or not, I think they were told when and how to react on it.
I hate these "reality" shows, as it seems so staged to me and in no way shows reality. I have no idea what people like about shows like Paradise Hotel, Beauty and the Geek, Big Brother and all those other programs. I think about 5% of what happens in those programs are actual acts of the persons in the shows, the remaining 95% is what the directors tells them to do.

I agree with everything you've said about those "unreality" shows. As to the "passable" TG thing... I am rarely fooled by TGs in person, and have only on one occasion suspected someone was TG when she was actually a GG. There are those who do a better job of "passing", but for most, things like arm length, foot size, jaw line and overall facial structure and height are immediate giveaways, though many TGs seem either not to notice, or not to care. Makes me no nevermind though, ultimately.

Oh that happened as well.

But this one was so funny, cause the guy was so clueless. Like, such a meathead of a guy, but really funny. And like he just whispers to one of the other dudes "hey do you reckon..." and this is literally within 2 minutes of her being in there.

But yeah, they picked Nadia as well, but anyone could do that, the way she talks.
