[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I laughed at the "miss isle attack". What a poser.[/quote] It's crazy that everyone just has to accept that accent. She grew up in Connecticut. Like an idiot, she featured her parents on like the second episode and they had American accents. She's not some first generation Israeli American, she didn't go to boarding school in Europe. She's just an aspirational poser. [/quote] I admit, I hate her accent. However, I do know people, myself included, who unintentionally adopt accents. If she lived in Europe for a stretch, it's quite possible she picked up their accent and it's become mangled. Why hasn't anyone not noticed that a Georgia gal like Erika is not speaking with a southern twang. Why, because she has lived outside the south for a long stretch and has adopted another accent that has been mangled with her southern roots. [/quote] Give me a break. People move away from the south and lose the drawl all the time. In those cases, you can still here it on certain words. Which is precisely the case with Erika. Not the same thing as having an utterly manufactured accent that's extremely pronounced. It's more than an inflection influenced by a loved one or temporary home. And I say this as a new Yorker that started pronouncing some words differently when I lived in Mississippi, so I get it.[/quote] Ok PP you win. You speak for and know everyone. No disputing with you. I don't hear a southern twang in Ericka's voice, but you do so that's all that matters. Your post makes no sense, if you can admit that people can move from the south and lose their accents, why can you not admit that people can move to other parts of the country outside the south, or even continents and lose/change accents and inflections. Dorit has lived in Australia, UK, and Connecticut (they have accents there to), so her messed up voice inflection is simply a mangled mess. That does not mean it's manufactured. That's just too much work to try to keep up with. [/quote] [b]NP here. You're stupid, obviously.[/b] There is nothing real in her accent, it's not "mangled" by having lived in those countries. None of what she says has a shade of the UK or Oz. She's trying to sound like that, but for anyone that does have those accents she sounds absurd. People that adopt them to some extent when they live there naturally revert to their childhood accents as soon as they are in their home environment. Like when southerners go home to the south, it tends to come out more. She would have lost it even if she had picked it up. It's not hard to train yourself in a "fake" accent, but she has no idea how absolutely inane she sounds. It's clearly fake and for effect, along with all of her simpering "honey, my love" bullshit. Dorit is absolutely the worst poseur and needs to get off my TV screen. I also think they did go and do drugs--why on earth would you leave your dinner guests just sitting out there? What a loser.[/quote] You should not speak of yourself so kindly PP. [/quote]
