Brian did nothing wrong. He has been observing them for 10 years and probably became friends with them somewhere along the way. its not that they "never" interact with the subjects. they've interacted on plenty of occasions prior obviously. the rule was they were to never interact with the subjects in a way that would alter the results. if brian had never decided to help pam, her story with jim would go down a completely different road. thats why he got fired.

also, the shows decision to make it seem like he had a crush on pam -- which he didnt by the way -- was to have a reason to have him in the show at all. he was only given screen time BECAUSE he made a lasting impact on the subjects. they had to make him fit somewhere so the editors of the documentary made it seem like he was trying to wedge himself between pam and jim, when obviously, he really wasnt. jim wasnt intimidated by him at all. jim was never suspicious. jim never seemed to feel any negative emotions towards him because they have been friends for years. keep in mind that this show is made out to take place in real life so you have to imagine yourself in the "real life" position of the editors of the documentary. they needed a reason to include a crew member so they decided to make people think he had a crush on pam.

it annoys me when people hate on brian because they refuse to look between the line and beyond the fact that this is supposed to take place in real life.
