35. Good point - she may have learning disabilities |
|
that are obviously beyond help. It's possible she may have been Special Ed., or at a lesser level, 504. And yes, in my 22 years in education, I have known some drop dead gorgeous young ladies and "all American" looking young men who were classified SpEd.
Good call - there may be some underlying problems with this young lady that we know nothing about. It isn't funny at all.

Or it wasn't the question she had been told to expect. Or any of a thousand other reasons.
Whatever it was, it wasn't funny. Just sad on several different levels.

Right there, the first words out of her mouth, told you what to expect.

That would have actually been worthy of respect. ""Hmmm... that's interesting... I don't know."

But a lot of that looks like a "deer in the headlights" choke job.
I've seen people who aren't necessarily dumb choke up like that.

Because if it had been me, I would have deftly threaded the microphone through this bimba's ears. He deserves something for not just falling down laughing or being so appalled (such as) that he did physical violence on this contestant.
