I don't know if it's that. I'm going off of the thing's I've seen, and the things that Cutler's found, it's more like they're reading stuff out. Possibly including us. The apartments look like they've been read out of bachelor pads R us. One of the rooms has a round bed for Christ's sake. Who, short of Austin Powers, has a round bed? But that's just a theory.
So... I think it's more about survival, rather than being someone's entertainment.
