Is Alex really that dumb or playing it up for the cameras?

[cheapbbfan]

Over 21 minutes to make a bed and still couldnt do it? Some of the stuff she's said over the season has made me rollmy eyes thinking a person cant really be that stupid when it coems to simple things

[vesavius]

Some people, especially young people, don't know stuff you consider obvious, that dosen't make them stupid. It just means they don't know that thing.

I probably know stuff that I consider simple and obvious that you don't, and vice versa. It dosen't make either of us stupid. It just means we don't know those particular things.

[spitfire]

Playing up to the cameras.

[Kate!]

Playing up to the cameras.

No, she's not. She hasn't got it in her to be that devious. What you see is what you get with Alex. There's not an ounce of artifice in her.

..and not just young people Alex's age......I'm rubbish at making beds..a duvet is one of the few things that brings me out in complete rage...

[Benjamin]

Nobody can keep up the 'dumb act' for this amount of time. And she may not be that intelligent compared to some of the others but that doesn't make her a bad person, Aaron and Harry seem to have a soft spot for her so she cannot be that bad.

[spitfire]

She hasn't got it in her to be that devious.
Evidently, she has.

[Blink_Me]

No where as dumb as she makes out.

[vesavius]

This 'dumb' girl is obviously teaching Harry a few things about life and making him rethink some of his stereotypes of the 'lower' classes.

..That's what I like..they are both learning from each other...,Alex is a good judge of people, I think

[iTsHuge]

She's one of the fakest housemates i've ever seen!!..i mean no doubt she's a complete and utter airhead but how can she apparently be an air hostess for a living but yet you can't even make a bed? :rolleyes: DO ME A FAVOR!!..she's going down the Jade/Sophie Read route and it's so transparent and BORING, but sadly the gullible, biased "GBP" will probably vote her into the top two or three.

Yes, because everyone knows everything you do or else they are thick and false :rolleyes:

I looked at that sheet and it looks way too small for the bed. I bet that is why they made an announcement over the tannoy that hms have to make the bed up correctly. In the previous BBs I have seen hms with no sheet or duvet on there beds.


Some people just can't get the knack of something that appears to be simple to others.

[iTsHuge]

Yes, because everyone knows everything you do or else they are thick and false :rolleyes:

IT'S MAKING A BED, how can you give instructions to people on a plane and not know how to make a bed? :rolleyes: IT JUST DOESN'T ADD UP and she's a phony, full stop.

[vesavius]

because they arn't linked skills at all and knowing one in no way requires knowing the other? :sleep:

[Ammi]

Nobody on my Ryanair flights ever made my bed.....and I've been very sleepy between here and Dublin on more than one occasion.

[iTsHuge]

So making a bed is harder than giving techincal instructions on a plane full of people? YEAH OK!!! :joker: .

[Benjamin]

Those two things are not linked. She even said she didn't change her sheets for a few months once, I think now we know why. :laugh:

[Benjamin]

So making a bed is harder than giving techincal instructions on a plane full of people? YEAH OK!!! :joker: .

Maybe not for some of us, but for others yes. She got trained to give those instructions, but if nobody has shown her how to make a bed correctly then how will she improve?

[Vicky.]

A bit of both.

She does play on it at times.

[spitfire]

She also sounds like a pig when eating.:yuk:

[vesavius]

No... your missing the point.

The point being made is not about it being 'harder', it is about them being different skills entirely. Making a bed and giving instructions on a plane are not linked skills. Knowing one in no way requires knowing the other.

(difficulty is very much subjective... what is easy for one is hard for another)

I won't reply to you again if you don't get this btw, no offense, I just don't have the ability to explain it any clearer and we are already repeating ourselves :/

[Niamh.]

A bit of both.

Yeah, I agree with this, but I still like her she makes the dumb thing funny which is a first from the classic BB idiots (eg. Brian Belo, Sophie etc)

[iTsHuge]

Maybe not for some of us, but for others yes. She got trained to give those instructions, but if nobody has shown her how to make a bed correctly then how will she improve?

She's playing to the cameras, and anyone who watches her will know that, the pathetic crying last week was just the iceing on the cake!! :rolleyes: .

[Josy]

A bit of both.

I agree with this, she does play on it sometimes, and I don't care what anyone says, no one struggles that much just putting a fitted sheet on a bed.

[Benjamin]

She's playing to the cameras, and anyone who watches her will know that, the pathetic crying last week was just the iceing on the cake!! :rolleyes: .

Even if she is, who cares. They are ALL playing to the cameras at some point. :rolleyes:

[Jase.]

She's VERY obviously not playing up to the cameras. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that out. :joker:

[spitfire]

For sure, for sure, for sure.

[iTsHuge]

The problem is along with playing up to the camera she's a complete and utter BORE aswell, but hey ho that's what the biased "GBP" seem to like so i guess she'll ride the phoney/dumb train to the end now.

In your opinion she is a bore. For me and many others she has been the funniest housemate this year and made a refreshing change from all the bitching, crying and fake romances which seem to have dominated this years show.

"Crying"? i take it you didn't see Alex's pathetic FAKE crying all last week? :rolleyes: .

[Ammi]

...yes poor Alex, she was so scared.....very entertaining..as Alex always is

[iTsHuge]

"Very entertaining" to the easily deceived? yep i agree.

[Ammi]

..strange choice of words...I'm not decieved by anyone....hence the Alex support..:hugesmile:

[iTsHuge]

You are because she was being fake with the :bawling: and you still support her..hence IT WORKED!! :xyxwave: .

[Ammi]

She looked pretty terrified to me....halloween is obviously not her thing, spooky stories...being made to jump.....that might have seemed extreme to some people....but not to others who don't like to be 'frightened'..I certainly didn't see any pretence there

[flamingGalah!]

I think Alex is one of the biggest gameplayers in there...

She may well be a bit thick, but she definitely plays up to it big time & she is also a seasoned fence sitter, makes sure she doesn't get involved in any arguments or take anyones side, she's actually rather clever... ;)

[alex_front2]

But the GB love her easy to understand dumbness to a witty funny comment from Harry or Aaron. Alex not being able to make up a bed up appeals to the masses whereas a bon mot from Harry may need to explained.

[Gillian-73]

It's not making a bed but i struggle putting my dogs harness on everytime he's walked, i've been shown countless times, i know how it should be done but i just can't grasp it so it ends up twisted in a right mess every time, i've only had the dog 4 years lol some people can't do some things however simple the things may appear to others!

Oh I have enjoyed all of Harry's witty remarks as well as Alex's..lets not assume Alex's fans need anything explaining to them..We are keeping up very nicely.....

Yes Gillian...you are quite right...most people have something that is a 'nightmare' for them...regardless of how easy it is to everyone else..Jay and Louise for instance, find it difficult to put a whole sentence together..

[fruit_cake]

I just find her dull..she's got to do something to grab air time I suppose, so why not play thick

[boomoo]

Over 21 minutes to make a bed and still couldnt do it? Some of the stuff she's said over the season has made me rollmy eyes thinking a person cant really be that stupid when it coems to simple things

Alex told Harry that she had never made a bed in her life.

The thing is Alex would never be deliberately cruel to Harry in the way he is to her. She may not fully understand him but he is talking to his friends who are watching. Not nice really.
At least Alex has enough manners to listen to him. It was really funny last night when he was about to try and make an idiot of Faye. He asked her what she thought about David Cameron and she said nothing turning her head away to a much more interesting convo.
Classic

Anythings possible isn't it, no one can actually say anything that she does is genuine. until she admits it's not. I'm happy to give her the benefit of the doubt though.

[Foebane100]

Yes and Yes
