Doesn't matter, it's perfectly easy to live up to that stereotype for anybody who doesn't happen to live south of the Watford Gap.

Yeah, that says more about you than it says about her.

Giving me Brian Belo Shakespeare vibes.

....Although this time it felt genuine.

Once again lumping everyone who lives in the south together. And yet you Northerners get pretty bent out of shape when southerners do it to you.

I didn't watch that one, is it possible she is deliberately trying to play up to it to get the "ah look she's cute she doesn't know who Ghandi is how sweet"

You can say what you want, you can tell me I have sex with whippets, wear a flat cap and take my peregrine falcon out for walks every sunday on my way to Bingo if you like.

The fact is that's the way certain people attribute Sophie's accent.

Probably, I don't know how anyone could have went through the schooling system without having heard of Gandhi but you never know I guess!

Sophie is fake. Her dumb Brian Belo act is wearing thin. :sleep:

I really dont care for locale of people on BB, if someone has a certain accent im going to presume thats where they're from.

yes! agreed! :joker:

her and the twins seem to revel in being ignorant to the entire world

I can believe it. Schools are tragic in my area. No one does well not even the brighter kids.

I think its part real and part an act. I like that people are seeing how Sophie operates. She's more devious than most of the other HM's but she'll inevitable sail thru to the final.

Anyone on here never heard of Ghandi? C'mon own up!

Throw some names out and we'll see who I haven't heard of.

even if they haven't read of him or watched documentaries or tv reports , surely the majority have stumbled across the movie or the movie title mun...though many people probably think sir ben kingsley is in fact Ghandi lol....one of the worlds greatest ever pacifists and a hero to the world

Belo - shakespeare won
Helen - i like blinking I do came 2nd
Jade - East Angular came 4th
Josie - You know what I do whenever I'm feeling low, I always think about that woman that got her face ripped off by a chimpanzee. Won

Seems the GBP love a dunce and an amusing quote so my money is now going on Sophie.

I imagine the majority of people on here knows who Gandhi was... however, I'm equally sure that the geniuses we have in the house this year wouldn't have the first clue who he was. Although I bet they could name all the Kardashians.

:joker:

Gandhi would have been a crap housemate anyway too preachy and a bit of a pervert.

So she's never heard of gandhi... big deal.
Is that the indicator of who is a worthwhile human being now?

Well, he was one of the greatest men of all time... it wouldn't hurt to know who he was. And to be able to spell his name.

BBBOTS are going to dress Belo up in a loin cloth and sandals arent they?

No, it just indicates shes a ****ing moron...

:joker:

I know what your saying but people should have a basic understanding of certain people/events that influenced our race (unless there is a medical/psychological reason).

I would be a little offended for instance, if she didn't know who Hitler was.

I didn't like Josie at all but that was one of the funniest lines to ever come out of BB

Oh to add Sophie from BB10 who also won, had never heard of Barrack Obama apparently (eventhough on her application form she had wrote him down as a person she admires

she was showing off how ignorant she was......bad few episodes for sophie, the whole grilling callum to see if he would sell out his best friend (against sams wishes) was mean spirited.....she comes across as cold

It was her delivery of it she was totally sincere and somber faced :joker:brilliant

I didn't say he wasn't did I? Thunks fer correckting me on me spellling mate :D

You are kidding ???

Ghandi had an infinitely greater and more positive affect on this planet than adolf H....he was a pernicious little sh*t

You feel personally offended when people don't know who certain historical figures are?.... Poor you your life must be just awful :(

I thought Sam's reply that his whole rest of time in the house would be ruined if Callum gave, (for Sam) the wrong answer, was very enlightening.

Yeh I know, but Hitler and what he did to a large part of the world was a major part of our history and we should know it so that hopefully the same never happens again. Human growth n all that.

Patronise me all you want but ignorance is not an endearing quality.

it was....because sam is actually a real human being who hasn't been coached by some money making mook

:worship::worship::worship:

:worship::worship::worship:

true. that's not to say Id ever mock a person for not knowing something ....but I do not like to see people actually wearing ignorance as a badge of homour

I'm not patronising you, I'm pointing out how it's not possible to get offended by the perceived lack of intelligence of others.
Live and let live :)
