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

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.

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...

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.

Evidently, she has.

Blink_Me 25-10-2011 12:18 PM

No where as dumb as she makes out.

vesavius 25-10-2011 12:22 PM

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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:

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. 25-10-2011 01:38 PM

A bit of both.

She does play on it at times.

spitfire 25-10-2011 01:40 PM

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

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 :/

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)

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: .

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.
