She'd struggle since she doesn't even know who the current prime minister is!

Happy memories of Tesco, plus it's the only place I can get my fix of Fentimans ginger beer, if you reading this Mr Fentimans please send me a fix soon.

With this comment she has well and truly sealed her face, hopefully the crowd when evicted will shout "Who R ya" or just ignore her as they are all worthless workers and haven't tread the boards selling their wares and living in one of the most fake working environments ever.

She's a biscuit faced throw back wannabe singing from Peter Waterman's era, may she end up never cast again untill "Tesco the musical" needs a shelf stacker number two.

Really, she doesn't know the name of the current Prime Minister? That's shameful stuff for someone of her age and supposed "life experience".

Probably best not to audition for Yes, Prime Minister the musical then....

I think this could go down a storm in the west end. I mean it's no Jerry Spiringer the Musical but It's certainly got potential

PS what kind of biscuit? Jammy dodger I reckon.

She will now never be able to walk into a supermarket without some kind of tension. Or met anyone who isn't a celeb without tension.

It beggars belief that someone can be completely unaware who the PM is. But I suppose if you spend your life with your head wedged up your own bottom it's possible.

I wonder is Steven knows who the current prime minister is?....

It's the one on TV at the moment melts in the river of milk and is rebuilt.

What exactly did you have to do in this aptitude test?

Because she implied that 'normal' people are a bit slow because they wouldn't be able to keep up with her.

she has all the attributes of a polished and manufactured reality star.

I never watched pop idol, so to me she's a commoner just like me, except she does weird facial expressions, sings like the cats chorus and exaggerates her accent sometimes.

NO EXCUSE for Zoe's snooty attitude apart from her own foolish egomania. ”

Thanks for that. I actually thought that may be the case but didn't want to make a statement I couldn't support. But I know you hear pop stars staying pretty much the same. They travel all over the world but only see the inside of hotels, airports and venues.

It was one of those psychometric tests in which they say "there are no right or wrong answers" I have to say I found it tricky.

I understood fully what she meant, it was a lame attempt at flattery but she put it the worst way (especially in front of such a kneejerk reactionary crowd)

She's caught between celeb and 'everyday lass' and doesn't fit in either world

She will be one or the other depending on the situation

It's the reason for the tears every time the crowd react to her favourably because she so needs to have a firm footing in fame because she knows full well Tescos 'really is' just around the corner

Unfortunately Pav and Chris fans will take each other out and Zoe will stay
I think Chris blew his chances and BB's edit hasn't helped. I'm sure BB doesn't want him to win. Regardless, I don't want elitist Zoe staying any longer.

Zoes comments were definitely not said as a joke, and came across as extremely condescending.

Perhaps if she hadn't been thrown into stage school at the age of 3 by her parents, she might be working in what she obviously thinks is a 'lesser' job.

I hope that was a nail in her BB coffin.

There's nothing wrong with ambition and wanting to do well but what I always find funny about people who make these types of remarks is that who do they think serves them in the supermarkets? Who do they think organises deliveries in the warehouse? Who do they think stacks shelves with food that people want to buy? They would be the first to speak up if there was no one around to serve them as they do when they say these things about Tesco workers without thinking who works to ensure their food is available to buy.

Friday will be interesting, I'm sure she's used to dealing with rejection on a professional level but I'm not so sure how she's going to handle or cope with rejection on a personal one because up to now compared to Pav she's had a fairly easy ride so going from a crowd favourite to boos and possibly also chants of get zoe out get zoe out is not only going to come as a shock to her personally I imagine but also to the others and cause suspicions to be reignited within them. Will there be lots of bravado, media trained smiles that don't reach the eyes, it's a game babes, it's just panto saving face dismissal of the reaction or will it actually hit home she's done or said something in there the public en masse don't generally approve of or like.

Have you never done an aptitude test? Many employers use them now.

A job is a job, people shouldn't be snobby about what others do for a living. Apparently having worked in McDonalds at some stage of your life is very well thought of by many in the recruitment industry because it shows your not afraid of hard work.

Working in the customer service industry i.e retail, waiting on, bar work. etc is something that everyone should do at least once their life because it's a real learning curve. Zoe doesn't live in the real world though, she lives in a self absorbed bubble where she thinks she's more famous/successful than she actually is!

that's about her level.

i took from her Tesco comment that she thought 'ordinary' people would be intimidated by her stupendously exciting life. Bored to tears more like!

I do believe her comment has been taken out of context and her explanation after her eviction helped.

Her point was that she was glad she came into a house full of people who have 'stories/experiences' that she can learn from because those people are either self employed and have their own businesses/ travelled lots/ etc. but if the people only had one story/ one experience to talk about and nothing else than she would find it hard to have a conversation with. The fact she the used the 'one story/experience' example being 'all I do is work at tesco' was a really bad example.

I have met people like who she is referring to - all they have to say is that they just work and do nothing else and it is hard to have a conversation with someone ESPECIALLY if you are with that person(s) 24/7 week in week out what the hell would you talk about all the time. Its ok in real world because you are not around the person 24/7

So Zoe wasn't saying that she is above Tesco workers/ or that Tesco workers don't have any stories or experienced anything - sure its really hard to get that point and that is purely because we didn't see the entire conversation that led up to that remark

Her comment was absolutely typical of someone with not much life experience.

Join any company, whether Tesco or A.N other - and you will meet a diverse set of people from a wide range of backgrounds with very different levels of experience. You are just as likely to meet people with 'life experience' in Tesco - as you are in the confines of a TV studio. That person who packs the internet shopping could well have had a breakdown. Bloke in charge of the tobacco counter may well be someone on a career break between teaching jobs.

Her comment shows a distinct lack of reality or empathy.

You have no idea what the crowd's politics are. Indeed given that they objected to Zoe's reactionary statement, I daresay the majority of the crowd and viewers are anything but reactionary.
