Kirk claiming he doesn't know where America is

[fruit_cake]

yet, he obviously knows how to get to the BB house!! Do you find this kind of fake-stupid behaviour appealing, here are some other housemates who did it as if you didn't know..

Sophie Reade
Alex
Brian Belo

I try to like it and think it's cute the first few times but when they keep doing it I normally just feel like it's fake and manipulative

[Jords]

I dont care, sometimes its endearing sometimes its irritating depends.

[Pyramid*]

Shows he is a dickhead for either not knowing, or pretending to be THAT thick.

:sleep:

[LivT]

He isn't pretending to be thick. He is thick

[fruit_cake]

He isn't pretending to be thick. He is thick

surely everyone knows where America is though?

[LivT]

surely everyone knows where America is though?

Fruitcake, He probably also thinks The English Channel is a TV sitcom about Charles and Camilla. That The Balkans are an alien people on Star Trek ... that the $10,000 Pyramid is in Egypt..and the Tropic of Cancer is a sunscreen lotion ;)

big brother is not master mind!,when you get on a plane you just sit there,you dont have to give the pilot directions,

you're probably right!!! :bored:

[Me. I Am Salman]

There's two sides to what I think.
He was blatantly making it up. But I think its entertainment anyway so I like it. LOL

[Pyramid*]

To be fair, you weren't even sure what day of the week NYE fell on, even though you knew Xmas Eve was a Saturday, so imo, it's a bit silly you slagging him off and saying, 'surely everyone knows where America is' :p

It makes no difference if he knew or was playing up: either way, to show such ignorance shows he's a dickhead.

[Pyramid*]

TBF, he was right enough.

I suspect there are many people who venture on foreign holidays but couldn't actaully place the country they visited on a blank map of the world.

[fruit_cake]

I suppose it is entertainment yeah that's an interesting angle!

[Marc]

he's clearly being fake

[Pyramid*]

he's clearly being fake

I suspect he is but no one knows for sure if he's faking.

he could indeed be that badly educated, not interested and wrapped up in his own little bubble that he doesn't care enough to give a damn.

[Me. I Am Salman]

its funny to watch people being fake on telly

are you saying that with an english or american accent?lol

[Marc]

He also knows how to work a crowd.

The guy's a fake if he says he doesn't know where America is

[Me. I Am Salman]

are you saying that with an english or american accent?lol

all part of the mystery ;) :dance:

[Me. I Am Salman]

Does anybody think he's trying to copy Sophie Reade?

[fruit_cake]

Does anybody think he's trying to copy Sophie Reade?

yes!! and also like Brian Belo when he said he didn't know who Shakespeare was

[Pyramid*]

Does anybody think he's trying to copy Sophie Reade?

He has blonde hair, fake boobs....... I must pay more attention!!! :D

Nah, he's just being a dick.

[LivT]

I don't agree he is faking it, not for a moment. If he is then its overkill, and yesterdays entertainment. It's been done to death with past air-brains, and regardless of whether they were faking it, or not, its now no longer entertaining. Although I still laugh, its not with them ..its at them. I still say they are exploited for their dumb statements and behaviour. It is why they were cast in the first place.

It is wearing too thin now, generally - so I rather doubt anyone will try to manipulate it as its no longer to anyones advantage.

Besides which, he simply starred in Towie , he aint that good an actor to fake that awkward, embarrasment that was so very clear during the Map test

[Visage]

FFS there's always one.


Either way, it's not the best comment to come out with.


&Waits for someone to explain to him the world is round and he will not fall off it at the end.*

[Jake.]

He is either as thick as dog sh*t, or thinks we are thick as dog sh*t.

[Me. I Am Salman]

"just eated a whole chicken" a tweet by Joey Essex a few months ago
maybe they all really are just a bunch of dumbarses.

[Black Dagger]

He's seen the show before, he's a fan of the show, he knows being thick pays off (Brian Belo, Josie Gibson)

Bizarrely he happened to know where Russia was though eh!! ;)

DICK. (him, not you !! )

[Beastie]

He is a 23 year old man. He should know where the hell America is!

I am sure Kirk is a sweet, young man but I don't want him to win. A win for him means a win for TOWIE! :yuk:

[Beso]

You can't get to his age and not know that..what a wanker.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Did he mean he could not find it on a map?

[Livia]

I don't think for one minute that he was pretending.

Essex...

[thesheriff443]

he must mean hull!lol

[Stu]

He does know where it is and he wasn't faking stupidity, IMO. It was a clear wind up, wasn't it? He was winking to the viewer the whole time. It's not like he genuinly wanted us to believe he was that thick.

[Pyramid*]

Essex...

Close, but I think that's perhaps Dickborough.

[thesheriff443]

the only degree,s you will find in essex is on a map!

Like all the TOWIE people,he is a fake and hopefully he will pay the price for it by being evicted.

No one is that stupid
Its like those idiots that say ''WHAT?! Europe isnt a country? OMG!'' shut the **** up bitch you know well its a continent

[Livia]

Let alone finding the USA on a map, I have every confidence that he couldn't find his own arse in the dark with both hands.

gosh how can you not know where america is? its clearly the boot shaped one jheeze

I really do think he is that thick, based on what I've seen on TOWIE

[swinearefine]

I really liked him at first, but now he's reminding me somewhat of Brian Belo, and that just is not acceptable.

[Niamh.]

I really don't believe that he didn't know where America was, just playing up to the TOWIE thing if you ask me :rolleyes:

[sexyb4ck]

Your all thick for thinking he even has 1 ounce of inteligence!
if he didn't have friends to rely on he would need to pay 7 grand to buy a tom tom to find his ass hole.

[Scotty07]

Can't stand the painfully unfunny idiot, had absolutely no idea who he was on launch night, but wasn't suprised he was known for being on another reality show.:bored:

Don't know if he was being another boring fake idiot, but I found his pathetic comment about Africa worse, not funny at all.:sleep:

Haven't watched tonight's episode yet, but I watched yesterday's BBOTS and it was the clip where he had to guess where vegas or the US was on the map or something, he pointed at Africa and said something like "don't know what this **** is".

I guess this will have been on tonight's episode unless they edited it out as they sometimes show more on BBOTS. I will be watching tonight's episode tomorrow sometime.

Ah right, I wouldn't take it as an insult to Africa though, the only places he seemed to know were Essex and Russia :laugh:

[fruit_cake]

maybe he's bought himself a Russian bride

[flamingGalah!]

He didn't even get Essex right, he stuck the pin in Cambridgeshire :joker:

[Carniala]

Just so you know, a vast majority of American do not know squat about where is Canada, what language we speak and how we live, despite the fact we are just north of them and the biggest trading partner in the world. So go figure.

I worked for a Montreal company with a NY office and sometimes new-yorker came to the head office in Montreal, and one of them came dress for winter in July, poor guy it was 35 Celsius outside and about 100% humidity. I never laughed so hard in my life, but felt really bad at the same time.

[pimpslapper]

Once again my home county is made to appear like it is full of thick as **** people. What a ****ing embarrassment.

We DID used to pride ourselves on having higher educational standards than across the pond... sadly I think that is no longer the case

[KenCasanova]

it's an obvious ploy by the producers.

notice how every place after his gaffe was where he placed the marker?

e.g he would canada in south africa and the producer would ask him to place south africa next.

He is playing up to the dumb Essex stereotype. I have no doubt the producers asked him to do it.

That's not to say he ain't dumb, though.

[Locke.]

Don't see the big deal.

I wouldn't have got it right either.

Guy is clearly at it.

Where is South Africa. SOUTH.

Where does he 'guess'...... a country in the NORTH.

If he thought it was amusing - it wasn't. It showed him up as being even more of a dick than I gave him credit for. Plus he's a completely creepy weirdo around Georgia - what a loser he is.

Yes. :angel::angel::angel:

LOL yeah... right.

[lostalex]

I don't think he was faking it because when he had to find Canada he did put the Canada flag above the America flag, if he was faking it i think he would have put Canada in some crazy random place too instead of putting it right next to the American flag.

[LivT]

Let alone finding the USA on a map, I have every confidence that he couldn't find his own arse in the dark with both hands.


Seconded!

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

wow i didn't watch last night.

Not surprised as all is gang care about is sugarht, plastic surgery and marbella. Get it together people!

[Bluerang1]

I mean no one is that stupid. But it might have been legitimate because he placed Canada above where he supposed the USA was which is true.

I was offended by the Africa comment. Used his stupidness to be slyly racist.

[Jords]

This case he came across absolutely dismal!

[MStrife]

Sorry, I think it made him look a tad fake,
To not know where the US is impossible,

[gamerouche]

Definitely stupid is our Kirk, you only have to look at the other TOWIE airheads to see their level of knowledge & education.
It was totally embarrasing as a fellow countryman to see him in action on the geography task. Michael Madsen's face said it all.

Gam

[BJ]

Shows he is a dickhead for either not knowing, or pretending to be THAT thick.

I tell you, that task made me angry. If he seriously didn't know where those countries were then I don't want to pay taxes for kids like him to have a education. Even the dumbest of the dumb who have skipped school nearly everyday would know where America and Australia are!

Even if he was just messing around he ruined the chance for the house to have a great party. Then chatting up Georgia afterwards was the icing on the cake.... what a tosser.

[Niall]

Just saw him do this task. I cannot believe how thick he is.

[Bluerang1]

No. And besides you don't use a word like that to describe a whole continent.

[Ramsay]

hes a smart ****...the dumb act has worked before

[Jase.]

Kirk's lovely. His dimness is rather...yeah. lol.

[Jesus.]

Can we have a poll to decide whether this, is possibly the worst poll of all time?

[vortex]

He probably can't even name 4 continents, let alone place a flag on America.

[starry]

it's an obvious ploy by the producers.

notice how every place after his gaffe was where he placed the marker?

e.g he would canada in south africa and the producer would ask him to place south africa next.

He is playing up to the dumb Essex stereotype. I have no doubt the producers asked him to do it.

That's not to say he ain't dumb, though.

I wouldn't rule this theory completely out, I don't think many people trust the producers, even more so under CH5 probably.

[starry]

I was offended by the Africa comment. Used his stupidness to be slyly racist.

It was just lazy slang really, I don't see any reference to race. After the whole Shilpa and Emily storms I doubt anyone would take a chance like that.
