I think I was annoyed by the "nobody eats alone" bit, but if a programme like that could distinguish between "loners" and "failed joiners", that could certainly be a positive. I don't know many extroverts who could tell the difference, though.

Actually, I could only imagine the horrible vengeance my classmates would have taken on the unfortunate kid they would have been forced to befriend. Being held by their ankles and flushed down the toilet would have been the least of it.
