Don Juan De Yawn
Is it a day ending with “y”? Yes? Ooooh! Then time for another article about Fer-ryzie on the official site! Hurrah hurrah and all that jazz!
This time, it’s an article on Fer-ryzie’s romantic side. Which consists of destroying Jeff Buckley lyrics for thousands of fans and making the occasional creepy fetish reference to a girl’s shoulders from what I’ve seen but what do I know? Nothin’ it seems - hell, the Official Site still hasn’t felt like changing their score aggregate of popularity to reflect Ryan’s genuine result in every day mathematics, so it’s clear it lives in it’s on cocooned version of reality.
“Didja see my scores on the popularity polls before you went in the house, Mon?” Just a guess.

I noticed particularly during the uplate fireside chat that Monica is using a technique called mirroring incessantly. Basically it's a psychiatrist / psychologist technique where you kind of constantly agree with what someone is saying or 'mirror' their words, opinions, body language etc but without in actuality committing to agreeance or in effect saying anything other than 'uh-huh' or 'so, what you're telling me is'. Bit hard to explain fully without a 2 page rant on that alone. Used professionally, for instance, in talking to someone who is an abject narcissist or someone with delusional beliefs that by their very definition are not amenable to reason. Monica apparently has a Masters in social work which involves a lot of training in this area, particularly the field she works in where she is probably doing a lot of supportive psychotherapy with her clients.
This is unethical probably, sneaky at the very least. It is using a therapy tool for her own personal gain to the detriment of others ie. playing Ryan.
If a therapist with a medical background were to behave similarly, it is a violation of the Hippocratic oath. Social workers, psychologists and the like aren't properly regulated however in this regard so she isn't breaking any laws or Acts.
I agree Jess, whichever boy was leading the polls would have found Monica rather easy to woo, and that she strangely seemed to like everything they had put on their BBTOS profile.

I hear ya.
I keep hearing "We've got so much in common!" from both Ryan and Monica, but I've never once heard Monica offer up something first for Ryan to decide whether he agrees or not.
No wait, I recall her telling Paul she was a fan of Faith No More (Paul was too) and it turned out Ryan didn't like them much. But that's it. Everything else, it's Ryan saying "Do you..." and her exclaiming "Yes!". Very shady, in my humble opinion.
