Shes not hiding anything!

corin is very self aware and is intellegent i agree.. if people judge her on her accent then its more fool them i reckon?? Nathan on the other hand is a bit slow on the take up bless 'im

Not accent, more vocabulary and conversation.

Or, lack of!!!!:wavey:

[elliebrew]

What has she said thats made her come across as thick. Just because someone doesnt have a polished vocabulary (which in this day and age is stupid) doesnt mean they are unintelligent or thick

[smudgie]

I am a northener, the best way I can explain it is that she sounds a bit gormless. Not so much her accent as the tone she uses. It does not mean she is gormless though. Accents change from town to town here up North. One can sound really common and thick while another less than two miles away can sound quite pleasant.

You don't need a vocabulary or spelling OR grammar if all you do is text!

[discotheque]

Somehow I can't see her having too many debates about quantum mechanics with Andrew.

Why are those three even important to you??

Does it offend you that much. You can understand what im sayinf cant you. Im not writing a book or an article for print?!?

So whats the point?

yeah but she'll try.. corin knows how to make people think she is interested in them..

when she was with mario and he was droning on about the loch ness monster zzzzzzzz, she pretended to be fascinated by it, she always does it.. good game plan i reckon

[elliebrew]

But then your loving Ben and Keeva.

The two most unpleasant people in there!

Were you a junglecats fan? Rex? Siavash?

I bet you were.

Obsessed with havving a twat for a winner 'because it would go against the norm'

Yep, I think you're spot on.

Oh come on - any woman who is that obsessed with her appearance - is not the brightest spark! We should all make the best of ourselves - but she lives and breaths her appearance - it is the only thing she really appears to care about! It is shallow and superficial - classic traits of the unintelligent!

Ben and Caoimhe are the most down to earth people in there, no fakeness with them. Ben's a gossip more than a bitcher i like listening to him and i don't think he really means any harm.. caoimhe just can't help herself but spit out how she feels about people, like them or hate them!!

corin on the other hand could bore for england and do we really know how she feels about anyone??? no chance.. i think she's quite insecure really, but is very manipulative with it..

i wasn't a junglecats fan, but they made great TV.. i liked emma and michelle, in fact michelle is my favourite housemate ever.. i liked Rex but i thought siavash was a bit wimpy..

i like a good honest character not a faker who manipulates!!!

good point wombai

[Livia]

I like Corin, and generally I like regional accents. It isn't her accent that makes her appear a bit thick, it's her limited vocabulary. Every second word out of her mouth is "like" and every third word is "mint".

[Stacey.]

She does come across as a bit thick. Hate her voice, it's way too annoying.

[calyman]

She has nothing interesting to say and she insists that everyone must hear it.

As Mario said, she flits fro group to group, pretending to listen, then goes away to another group, or for a fa

[elliebrew]

Whats wrong with listening to other people conversation. Just because she doesnt get as deep as some of them doesnt mean shes faking interest. My god you people are so annoying!

Mario flits from group to group!!

[calyman]

Mario has insights and opinions, he listens and contributes to discussions, he offers sensible and empathetic support towards the others. What Corin does in flap her gums saying nothing of import, wind people up, annoy them with her crassness, interupt decent conversations with her idiotic questions, etc.

I'm not saying she's a bad person, just very annoying.

[elliebrew]

Sensible? He fawns over ben and when he doesnt get his way he throws his dummy out of the Pram. Corin has been there for 3 different people this series giving them good advice and shown empathy!

But ive seen nothing that i would class as annoying!

[Strictly Jake]

I love being northern! And I prefer northern accents to posh ones like ben! But i do like ben

[ange7]

People don't think Corin is boring and useless just because she's northern. For example I don't think all northerners look like 40 year drag queens who's idiotic dialogue you could script while in a deep coma.

[vesavius]

Why must a thick northern accent automatically mean your thick. Its so stupid!!

Corin is obv emotionally intelligent which is evident because weve seen her comforting other housemates.

Shes not hiding anything!

In an way this thread is actually against Corin, not for her.

her whole gameplay has been dumb fun.

a fan is better going with that, not causing others to think that she might actually be really intelligent and just pretending.

so elliebrew thinks Corin is just "playing dumb". How devious Corin is then? ( according to ellie) hehe

Mario flits from group to group!!

In how many different ways can people say that she is a boring, self obsessed, uninteresting, shallow, superficial thicko with no vocabulary or conversation, with an annoying, strident accent, and is as fake as her boobs? To that I would add that I don't believe she is only 29 - she looks at least 10 years older.

However, I wouldn't be too concerned about the criticisms if I were you - after all look at the specimen who won last year - Corin is cut from the same cloth.

It's just people acting snobby and superior. Take no notice.

'Emotionally intelligent'

Oh god...
