Sorry, on first impressions, I don't like her. If she's had all this experience of working with Nobel prize winners and the Dalai Lama etc, what the hell is she doing on this show? Surely, if she's that great, she'd be out there on her own making it in the world of business. Bit of a BS merchant to the extreme methinks.

LOL, Melody will certainly not be a favourite contestant for the female watchers

I have heard of a plum in the mouth accent, she sounds as if she has a load of pebbles in hers.

She has the whole privileged Iranian expat thing going on. There is a whole generation of very wealthy Iranians who left when the revolution happened in the 70s and their children tended to go to the best private schools and ended up with these posh English accents.
Here's Melody's company http://inspirengage.com/about/melodys-bio Her specialty seems to be motivational speaking aimed at young people - not as 'business-y' as I thought. |

Looks like she forgot to pay her web hosting bill on her own website (http://www.melodyhossaini.com/), not that smart a businesswoman. |

Oh my *** I actually signed up for an account just to clear this up but I'm glad someone else did earlier. Not gonna claim anyone's being racist just a little ignorant - her accent is simply Iranian, it's not that strange. Speak to a few Iranian people in the next couple of years and you won't find it weird anymore.
Yes it has a bit of a toff-ish lilt to it, but I know a few people that speak like this. I won't make a sweeping generalisation, but the in-your-face-ness I have also experienced with these same people. They don't mean it in a bad way though. I think she's quite nice. |

I work with Iranians (lovely people) and her accent isn't unusual in that context. From the BBC website: Quote:
Born in Iran, Melody lived in three different countries before settling in the UK. Melody who speaks five languages...
I don't like her much, mind you!

I agree, that all the iranians that left iran during the time of the revolution seem to be very affluent. I take it they where well part of the establishment that was overthrown at the time, what else can expalin it?

I know but drinking alcohol is a major no no. She did look uncomftablle when AS mentioned the prize and I read the look on her face as an instant decision to join in so she wouldn't be seen as a party pooper which is a shame people are made to feel like that just for not drinking alcohol.

I saw that as her just biting the bullet and getting on with it. If her name really is Melody, maybe one of her parents is indigenous english/british?

That's what I thought! If she was that bothered, she could have easily turned it down.
