The scary thing is we are basing our economic model off a society that bred that thing..

I've got a close relative who did an exchange year in the U.S.
Even though it was his first year there, he still topped his class in American politics and history.

Gee. With a superbrain like that you'd wonder why the USA is in so much trouble at the moment.

I actually lived in South Carolina for 2yrs! With all the FRIED food down there I'm amazed this chick was so thin ;)

One guy asked me about the seasons "down under".....how they're opposite to theirs. So far so good.....yes mate, when it's our summer, it's your winter....puzzled look....Then he comes out with, "OK I get it, so when it's our Decmeber, it's your July". Yeah, that's it mate, spot on ;)

As much as I'd like to believe that those chasers video's weren't staged. I'd have to see it for myself.

She was nervous as hell, you could tell she was digging a hole for herself and didn't want too, but she couldn't stop.

I like at the end how old mate from saved by the bell just pulls the microphone away and says... 'yeaaaaah, your done'

If she wasn't so unbelievably hot she'd be in a maccas somewhere in america asking if french fries are the same thing as chips.

and the question is a no brainer, about 1/5 of americans are illegal immigrants/ kamikazi bombers and people from the south who either don't know what a map is or don't care as long as keep away from boys in blue.

Do you think she knows what the educational system is?

Come off it, she didn't have a clue AND she froze up.

Reminded me of Jessica Simpson for some reason :

She doesn't need a brain, with looks like that she'll marry some rich dude and live off him.

I thought the same thing when I read that this arvo. I even gave her credit and thought "She had two days to think of that".

Possibly :P

The_Axe - I can imagine it now... She's pacing around her pink painted bedroom in her parents luxurious house, thinking of what to say.. She's been thinking hard for hours, didn't even get a chance to sleep last night in her nice 4 post bed that's covered in teddies. She's writing out a speech, scribbling it out, writing another, then scrunching up the latest piece of wasted paper.

Finally, she has an idea!.. "Moooooomm?"

I wish people would leave this chick alone.

Yeah, she may not be the smartest person, but at least she's doing well with what she has. She still has aspirations to go to college.

It is easy to look back in hindsight and criticise but despite her slip up, she's probably a good person and sometimes among the bashing, we forget that.

Dare I say, she's probably smarter than many people we associate with everyday in life.

Would love to see many other people respond to the same question with all that pressure on you, without knowing what the question is until you're given it. It's not easy.

As I said, let her be. She's got ambitions, which is more than Peter Dupas can say.
