I get it that most Americans don't have electric kettles, something to do with the voltage... anyhoo, you have to be some kind of freakin' moron to put a stock cube into a kettle, from which you get water for tea and coffee. She isn't as stupid as she makes out, I think it was done for effect.

I doubt she would go out of the way to purposely do that for any sort effect. I think she just did it by accident, she had no hesitation when she did it, which made it clear she didn't think what she was doing was wrong in the slightest.

Plus, it's something I would have done on my first day at cooking in uni to be fair.

Someone on DS said this...

As an American, let me explain. We don't have stock cubes. Our broths come in a can or a box. It took me forever to figure out what a freaking oxo cube was the last time this issue came up.

When I watched it Carol says put it in the jug, which I took to mean put it in the kettle. This is really one of those cultural difference. Courtney maybe an idiot but she was following Carol's instructions and as an American who is 35 and never used a stock cube, I don't think I would have done much better.

A cultural misunderstanding I assure you.

Carol made it perfectly clear...why would she stay she would probably have ended up doing it for the lazy so and so...

Stock cubes are nothing but trouble

Saw a funny tweet about it and comparing it to CBB5, a little controversial though.

I can't find any clips about Courtney and the stock cube.

I wish I was watching, Abz must have turned me away from the TV, or something.

Stock cubes ARE called Stock Cubes by at least one American Company
Type Los Angeles and Zip Code 90210 in the Search Box to see how many outlets near Beverley Hills sell them!!!

The funniest part for me was Lauren saying "someones put a cup a soup in the kettle" Then someone told charlotte who immediately said it would be Lauren. I don't care if Courtney did it delibratly or not it was still very funny.

I understood her clearly.

She looked sheepish cause clearly by him asking it was obvious something had been done wrong and she knew she was the last one to cook with the kettle and stockcube. She was unsure, it was obvious but clear that she didnt feel comfortable asking for help from Carol and her disapproving rolling eyes.

No BS here I work in a hotel and you'd be amazed what foreign guests 'cook' in kettles... noodles, saltfish (yes really)

Wow you are really trying to dig now, what does that prove exactly?? We have teenagers (Courtney is a teenager) in the UK who dont know where chicken comes from and dont know what basic vegetables are ffs...

At least she didn't wet the bed on purpose. Courtney is a light that will go out tonight. The show has become dark and dull. Will the last person out switch the light off please....

Many a true word said in jest

[RodHull]

Gotta love how from one moment, one look people have assumed they know exactly what was going on in her head. Lol people on here are funny... Do you really think she sat around all morning planning it or something, shes clearly very undomesticated. Carol has even said she is spoiled, I doubt she cooks much with stock cubes at home...
