Enough of whos dumb, which HM has the brains?

-thinks Jem-

Pyramid* · 10-10-2011, 12:35 PM

Harry - overall.

Jords: any chance of making this into a poll?? - LOL... you beat me to it!!

MTVN · 10-10-2011, 12:36 PM

Probably Harry, although Jem does seem quite clever too, as does Anton actually

Niamh. · 10-10-2011, 12:40 PM

Aaron I think though I also think Harry is

alex_front · 10-10-2011, 12:47 PM

It depends

Harry and Aaron seem the most intelligent with their knowledge and life astuteness.

Private school educated Anton has got an Economics degree from a top Uni I think and answered the Sir Isaac Newton question in the week 1 Girls v Boys brains task. Jay probably thinks Issac Newton plays for QPR.

BB rarely has intelligent girls. Thick girls in the Jade Goody (RIP), Helen BB2 mould apparently make good TV. None of the girls this year are particularly bright, but were mainly chosen by how good they look in a bikini. Whereas the males were chosen for their characters. No really posh girls either (Maisy isn't really posh just affluent)

Scarily enough Heaven was the nearest we had to a fairly smart female this year. She uttered sh*te about giants but at least it showed she reads books and has interests beyond hair extensions and discussing this seasons lip gloss.

OK, Keeva last year could hold intelligent conversations that didn't involve hair straighteners, celebs, boobs, men and hair extensions and often debated religion. She was hated.

Rachael Rice BB9 and Elizabeth BB2 were smart but ultimately we couldn't laugh at their 'hilarious stupidity' and shocking lack of knowledge so were depicted as dull. Rice only won as she was a victim and spent 9 weeks being so nice it was impossible to hate her - despite having a vagina.

Shabby was very articulate (for a female BB contenst) too.

Louise this year may be not very bright, but at least is shrewd in terms of playing the game to be a popular ie likeable female ie being dumb, passive, never uttering anything to opinionated and being submissive to the men in house. Intelligent or opinionated girls are hated on BB and get booed.

Faye only seems smart when you compare her to Alex.

If you are going to have the likes of Alex then I do think you need a smart female to contrast that. Sadly 'she' wasn't chosen. I know having a degree doesn't automatically make you brainy, but a lot of young people do go to University, so it's galling that Channel 5 chose females who were WAG wannabe glamour model types rather than someone who's at least studied at the University of Lower Rochdale. Even Tom and Mark are uni drop outs.

Jem

Ammi · 10-10-2011, 12:51 PM

...There are different ways to be 'intelligent'..I wouldn't care to say..

BigBrotherfan4ever · 10-10-2011, 12:54 PM

I would say Harry & Jemma

alex_front · 10-10-2011, 12:54 PM

I loved the exchange in the kitchen a few days ago when Anton told Aden he was going to revolutionise the game as he was the cleverest in the house and Aden said 'it's not cleverest, it's most clever'.

Have BB ever but in a girl with a university education?
Maybe the follow up to that question would be "would a girl with a university education want to go in BB?" haha

Kazanne · 10-10-2011, 02:22 PM

Harry and Aaron.

Of course, not.

Keeva BB11 (Spanish and French I think), Shabby (drop out), Rachel Rice BB9 winner (drama),Elizabeth BB2 (history I think), Shell BB5 (art history) both Anouskas in BB4 were students. Not sure if ex-Nun Anna BB1 had a degree but she knew alot about history (always discussing with Nasty Nick) and I'm sure she took with her the book One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (one of my favs) as one of her luxury items back in the days when books were permissible. I remember being shocked during BB10 when BBLB revealed that hip hop wannabe Cairon had smuggled a Shakespeare play into the house as his luxury item.

This year focused on a young house and is on Channel 5 so inevitably there were going to be glamour model / WAG types. Even Heaven worked as a hostess at a gentleman's club just like Rebeckha.

Faye's done some relatively tame saucy modelling stuff, Alex has posed in bra and knickers, Louise has got her tits out in shoots and soft-core movies (Wrong Turn 3), Tashie has appeared in several R n B/ rap/ grime videos genres not known for championing the rights of women (she was in a shocking documentary called Hip Hop Honeys about the lurid misogynistic world of girls desperate to be objectified and treated like scantily clad disposable sex things in rap videos)

The women chosen in BB are inane and not too bright and by and large don't bring a lot of laughs*. Kate Lawlor is what passes as funny because she did a few impersonations. No real witty one liners or insight ala Harry or Aaron.

*See Faye's I've been chosen to be evicted prank with Gem fall flat on its arse on last nights HL show - now watch Mark's fake dog task for how it should be done.

MeMyselfAndI · 10-10-2011, 02:56 PM

Harry/Aaron

Voted Aaron as he had less votes.

Raven · 10-10-2011, 03:01 PM

There is nobody in there particularly intelligent, however Harry, I'd say is slightly above average. Not just looking at education but also social skills and communication skills He does stand head and shoulders above the rest in there.

Mystic Mock · 10-10-2011, 04:19 PM

Even though I like her,Alex has more brains than the rest of the housemates brains put together.

Locke. · 10-10-2011, 04:20 PM

Anton and Harry.

Maisy as well including evicted housemates.

Huh?

rk3388 · 10-10-2011, 04:27 PM

anton has the highest IQ so he should be leading intelligence wise.
And what makes people think harry is smart?

Roy Mars III · 10-10-2011, 04:28 PM

Anton.

Just because Harry is posh doesn't mean he's smart, he said himself that he's really not.
