But the book fails to answer some of the biggest mysteries of tribal life in the South China Sea. What romance were Greg and Colleen covering for during their scandalous excursions? Why did Sean feel he owed Kelly a meal? Why did Sue feel such a harsh speech was necessary at the last council? These issues remain a mystery. For now, however, I plan to keep pining for the new Outback episodes, never to read another book on a television series again and to continue writing letters to Big Brother producers until they release poisonous pterodactyls into the house. Now that would be reality-based television.
