I like the idea of the stipend for everyone who needed it.  Marcus has plenty of money and a very protective nature.  He'd want to provide for any needs any of the 5 might have in order to ensure the experiment is as successful as possible.  I also like the idea of people mentioning things they need in their video diaries.  Realistically, clothing will be torn or ripped (off) so clothes will need to be replaced over time, plus normal hygiene stuff, etc.  Fun stuff too....like your character's erotic novels might be purchased down the road, etc.  As everyone learns more about everyone else, there will be things they miss from their previous lives, etc.<br/><br/>I'm fine with the guys being in on the housekeeping explanation.<br/><br/>
