This is going to sound weird. I was told that one of the contestants on the current Australian series of Big Brother acts like me (an evil twin, if you will). Given that most Big Brother contestants have the intelligence of soggy cabbage, I was inclined to feel insulted by this.
However, having not yet seen the contestant, Jamie, in action, I didn’t know whether I should feel insulted or not. This, I felt, was a dangerously ambiguous situation. So I watched the nominations episode and saw him do his thing.
The result? No, I do not feel insulted and yes, I can see the resemblance. Although perhaps I shouldn’t say that, given profiles like this one.
Isn’t Big Brother awful? Every time I watch it I feel my brain cells dying. I won’t be watching it again, evil twin or otherwise.

I think you must have some strange skill of being able to duplicate. Either that or you come from a set of quads…or nonuplets. There’s 3 people (if you count Jamie, though I beg to differ) I know who look like you.
Freaky.
Dee’s nuts. That’s ridiculous lol.

That’s right SaRz: our numbers double every week. Which means, by the end of the year, there will be enough of us to blanket the Earth!
Fear, everyone, fear.

Look out for the Markk revolution - filling a coffee shop near you.
As for the Big Brother thing… I was a massive fan, but the last 3 seasons have really had it die off for me. It corresponded to a change in executive producer, which meant the show went from interesting social experiment with good mix of people/personalities, to boring boring boring with cookie cutter people… SIGH… an opportunity missed, as far as I can see…

Before this season, I had never watched more than 10 minutes of Big Brother at a time. Just never did it for me, I guess.
My clones don’t like it either, although Markk #34634 is undecided on this. Markk #23887 is pretty disgusted with #34634 on his refusal to uphold the anti-Big Brother party line, but #23887 watches Neighbours regularly so his tastes are, shall we say, questionable.

Have to start exporting some of these clones. Coffee shops too crowded now.
