Move this if it's already being discussed somewhere.

This half of BB3 is quickly turning into the How Unaware of Life is Lisa Show. I've already forgotten all the times she's had to ask what something was (plum) or has been corrected and hasn't bothered to improve herself (pitcher/picture). Where has that girl been locked up for the last 20-something years? Her lack of knowlege of the every day astounds me.

Last night it was the BBQ. Her facials expressions and the constant, "What's that?" did me in. Kudos to BB for that rip-roaring segment!

Lisa, hon, please take your winnings and go experience life. Believe it or not, there's more to explore in life than navel lint and more words in the dictionary than "hi". Go to college, travel to another country or at least outside the city limits, read a book, turn on PBS or a Discovery Channel, go to a museum, or let your fingers do the walking outside your navel and pick a new restaurant for lunch. Anything. Just get out and learn something of the world.

I too have been like HUH? with all the things this girl does NOT know. It's amazing to me, aside from the food, the things this girl doesn't know. It really makes her look bad. I just don't know what to think about this.

I have to agree. Lisa is acting really ridiculous. "I never heard of ribs", ok I understand not eating ribs, but you've never even heard of them?? She is acting more and more dense by the moment.

Betty: Too funny! I was thinking the same thing. The girl really needs to get out more.

She must eat fast-food or TV dinners, sounds like she has never stepped foot in a grocery store. LOL even McDonalds has a McRib sandwich.

I read somewhere that she didn't know what a plum was. She doesn't vote (a personal issue with me). Real funny was her calling the Mongolian Beef - "Magnolian beef". LOL

She sure doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed.

And the hits just keep on coming!
There has GOT to be an explanation, wish we knew what it was. She also didn't know that Chinese food can consist of Spareribs...(and plum sauce I suppose)..It's amusing...sweet girl....:)
She's never had "visions of sugar plums" dancing in her head?

I posted this in another thread earlier this a.m.:

All of this discussion about Lisa and her not knowing certain foods gets a little irritating to me. You don't know if she was raised in a vegetarian household. You don't know what her life was like before entering the BB house. It's entirely likely that she rarely watches TV. She may not look at the plates of everyone else in a restaurant if/when she goes. You don't know anything for sure, so why is it such a big deal that she doesn't know certain things? I am sure there are a lot of foods that a lot of you don't know about (in fact, there was a whole thread on this not too long ago). So? She's learning all sorts of new things in the house. Can't you give her credit for that?

BTW, she obviously also doesn't eat much meat. She asked Danielle last night about the meat they got during their Japanese food dinner. Danielle said it was fatty and that Lisa probably wouldn't like it, and for her to try the chicken instead. That indicates to me that she may NOT have ever eaten ribs.

Finally, for what it's worth, I went to a potluck a few weeks ago, and took a sampling of what LOOKED LIKE chicken. It was pork ribs. After one bite I realized my mistake and threw them out. I don't eat ribs.

Sorry for the semi-rant in a topic such as this. I just find it slightly irritating that everyone clamps on to one small thing and makes a deal outta it.

(So now there are three different threads ragging on Lisa's lack of knowledge about food.)

Awww Costacat - We're just having some good clean fun here. Nothing here is harsh or mean. Not making a big deal about it - just having a lighthearted convo. Umm... Ya gotta admit not knowing what a plum is - is pretty unusual. :)

I am not being mean about Lisa. I have loved her since day one and can't wait for her to win. I think it's sweet and endearing, found some humor in it, while I am waiting for Josh and Chiara on the Early Show.

My post said "aside from the food" because there are things from different states that I'm sure I don't know about either. It was the other things she didn't have a clue about that stumped me.

A thread is a thread is a thread. Maybe we never saw the other thread! I know I've never seen one on this topic, so that's why I posted here. No biggie, it was JMHO anyway.

I think there are a lot more people like Lisa than some of you board posters may suspect. There is a whole generation that has grown up on fast food. Lisa did say one day that outside the house she eats a lot of protein and water when someone asked if she is naturally thin. She also said she eats a lot of MacD's

I consider myself fairly worldly yet I had my first martini last year. Just never tried one before.

Look at it this way. Lisa has a long way to go before life becomes boring and predictable for her. So many surprises in store. And at least she is open to learning and trying new things. For example, she has discovered she has a flair for cooking and can't wait to explore it more outside the house.

Personally I think the girl is a few bricks shy of a whole load. She works in a strip joint for bloody sake!!! I think it's all a big act, like how she talks like a two year old. That girl has a hole in her pocket and the marbles are cascading out.

BTW, If my Amy leaves tonite, boo hoo, then I will be rooting for LISA!!!! But until Amy walks out the door, I'm still in her corner!! ;-)

Lisad, If I remember correctly, Danielle is the one that never votes.. not Lisa.
Costacat, I'm with you on this one.. it's just one big so what.

BBholden, just out of curiousity... what does working in a *gentleman's club* have to do with anything? She was not an exotic dancer; she was a bartender. How would her job have any relevance to her not knowing certain foods, or mispronouncing certain words?

Itsallgood - It's going to be a helluva night for sure. I have some 10-year old valium laying around the house somewhere. I might actually go find it! LOL

IMHO Lisa isn't nearly as uninformed as she appears in the day to day threads...I think she's smart enough to play the part of the sweet, ignorant, girl that is no THREAT!

By taking on that role, she allows Jason and Dani to feel superior and protective about her.

LOL, I say GO FOR IT LISA!

lots of bars serve ribs, many red wines are made with plums

Bailey - If I remember correctly Dani & Lisa don't vote. (this drives me nutso). But Lisa did say she doesn't vote. Amy does vote - even in small community races. Don't know about Jason but If I had to bet money - I "think" he would. Dont' know.

I agree with Secretsmile. Lisa is just trying to come off like she's naive and gullible. Of COURSE she knows what a sparerib is, as well as a plum! GEEZ. And she WILL have the smarts to win HOH this time, and send the right person packing (Danielle).

She's definitely onto Jason/Danielle, but I suspect given her personality (very telling during the cell phone competition), she will send Danielle home because to Lisa, Danielle wouldn't be deserved of winning any money whatsoever, even though she might suspect that she could win easier if paired with Danielle. Just my opinion.

Bailey

Lisad, it drives me nutso also when people don't vote. Didn't hear that about Lisa, but I do remember Dani saying it. But in any case, I stand corrected.

I find it quite amusing that so many of Lisa's detractors are women ...and coincidentally they are same ones that are so supporting of Amy.

I find it amusing that people take the time to go around and check out the gender of the posters and then tally them up and compare them.. but then again... I'm easily amused...roflmbo

Look, I'm just joking... I already have Costacat on my back about the fact that Lisa IMNSHO is playing the I'm too dumb for clothes card...hehe It's all a game and this is the place to discuss the game, the HGs and have some fun...lol Lighten up people....we have 7 days of Lisa ahead...
<yawn> hehehehe

I find her lack of knowledge on everyday subjects rather irritating. If she is just playing dumb she is doing a great job. She acted like she had never seen people eat with their hands on the show last night. She seems to watch movies and television as she comments on them with accuracy, so she hasn't seen a commercial? She hasn't ever been to a BBQ. She seemed to know all about Chinese food, and I have yet to see one of their menus that doesn't list ribs. I don't buy it. Either she really has a problem or she is playing the rest of them.
