Yeah, Courtney Taylor makes a brief appearance - I didn't spot any of the others but they'd have been right at home. I don't know Join Us, but it would make an interesting companion piece to Quiet.
It is weird not to have heard of Harris, especially given how many dotcom failures, mad net prophets and so forth I *have* heard of. I would almost have wondered if she were exaggerating his significance, except for all those magazine covers &c.
I did like the first series of Big Brother, in part because they felt more like real people - there was a wonderful discussion among the housemates of whether anyone was even watching. But after that, they all knew what to expect a little too much, and the various fiddles with the format never did enough to dispel that predictability. Additionally, by doing stuff like not showing/breaking up that fight which broke out, they made clear that nothing genuinely unpredictable would be allowed to happen.
