In disliking Carol Vorderman so very, very, much

Had the misfortune of seeing some of Loose Women yesterday. She refused to believe that making drugs illegal did little to prevent people from taking said drugs. She's entitled to her opinion but was just so inarticulate and was unable to develop the conversation further than 'ummmm, no'.Also, memories of her shrieky meltdown on Question Time, her advertising of debt consolidation loans, promotion of her detox rubbish, her chipmunk cheeks . . . . . . .

Quite good at sums does not seem to equate with any other discernible talent or intelligence.

I find her so very loathsome. Richard Whitely even faked his own death just to get away from her.

I liked Cher vamping it up on USS Missouri for 'If I Could Turn Back Time.'

Salmotrutta · 30/03/2012 23:38

My DH likes that too Line - I wonder why? Hmm

Sorry, terribly rude of me not to share:

The second one is particularly amusing - Will Self pwns everyone as usual (yes I am a 34 year old woman, not a 16 year old boy)

Enjoy

I remember seeing that on probably top of the pops for the first time - wow mind boggling, jeesh and that outfit.

Cher was amazing but whoever came up with the idea deserves a million medals.

God her boobs and her cheeks are twice the size now as they were in that question time episode!

LineRunner · 31/03/2012 16:40

It says under the YouTube clip of Cher that the navy told her 'No bare midriff' so she came up with that outfit! Love her hair.

Now for the relevant bit - does anyone remember Carol Vordemort doing Cher singing If I Could Turn Back Time on Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes? Grin

LineRunner · 31/03/2012 16:44

It was in 1998 apparently.

SugarBabyLove · 31/03/2012 16:49

YANBU at all. She's appalling. I've loathed her for years. And years.

Very funny about Richard Whitely. Good on him for getting away with it - CV doesn't know he's still alive!

LineRunner · 31/03/2012 17:28

Dear Richard Whitely. Cleverer than people realise.

chipstick10 · 31/03/2012 18:09

Why does someones politics make them thick or unintelligent. I find Fiona Philips thick as pigs shit and pretty uninformed is it because shes very left wing?

LineRunner · 31/03/2012 19:48

I think CV mashed up her persona too much to be credible.

I stood next to Carol Vordermann in the queue for taxis at Bristol Temple Meads station and we enjoyed a good chunter about the crap waiting system. While she made some no doubt valid points about traffic flow, ;-) I couldn't take my eyes off her 'worked on' face. I'm not trying to be judgey about this, but it made me realise how different people who have had a significant amount of work look in comparison to us with normal 'lived in' faces. and not in a good way, Carol.

Apart from this, I have no issue with la vorderman - she is certainly less annoying than the majority of blokes who appear on crap panel/'discussion' shows. Loose Women does make me hang my head in female shame though.

blapbird · 31/03/2012 20:21

when she went on question time she was saying such obvious things Will Self ended up saying 'Ohhh Carol' in a really bored diminishing way.

Any woman who has to stand in front of a mirror every day photographing herself is obviously very much in love with herself. She says she has not had plastic surgery - a top plastic surgeon disputed that in my paper and looking at the pictures of her on countdown in the 80’s and 90’s seems to support that. Her arse and tits are much bigger and the conceited bitch always has to wear tight belts and skin tight clothes in the hope of grabbing more attention. I, and some of my friends switch off when she comes on the tv.

She is now 12 years older, the thread was 2012, she still trying hard to keep herself relevant though!

KindergartenKop · 16/02/2023 22:21

@Icannotstandorders is it really worth resurrecting a thread in order to call a woman you have never met a 'conceited bitch'? Nasty.

Icannotstandorders · 17/02/2023 02:14

I don’t have to meet her it is the way she comes over on tv and in the paper - before I found the need to switch off every time. I read in the paper she was very ‘bitchy’ about someone recently on tv while the person was not there to defend herself.

ashitghost · 17/02/2023 02:16

yanbu I cannot bear her

Better to be a conceited bitch than an unintelligent one…

JunkinDonuts · 17/02/2023 02:28

YABU just for watching Loose Women.

RedAndBlueStripedGolfingUmbrella · 17/02/2023 02:37

This thread is 13 years old 😂
That's surely a record

RealeyesRealizeReallies · 17/02/2023 03:10

I hadn't realised all these things about her. I don't like her either now.
Thanks.

This made me LOL 🤣
