Ive been to Auckland, great place, but I wouldn't really expect every American to know of it, but after they had a..kland they should of got it. Americans are typically bad at international geography.
P.S I thought Wellington was the capital, not Auckland
@LokiCocola Yeah, some of the criticism that has shown up here has been pretty extreme. But it also went about 6 calls (2 turns by each player) too far, and then the capital thing and you get some angry people.
@LokiCocola it is thats why vanna said, "I tried to get your attention when you said Auckland was the capital, because most people know that..." Then Pat cuts her off and says, "I like to show them I'm not perfect sometimes... ...We'll be back with more misinformation tomorrow." Also look at the other comments
I am from New Zealand and we here should not judge so harshly, sure Americans are typically bad at geography, nationally and internationally but they do have a lot more cities to remember than we do in New Zealand so its much easier for us to know our world geography. Although Americans do live inside their own bubble.
@BadKellytheWitch Ik that but seriously I've met so many people that think Auckland is the capital because it's the largest city so all I'm saying is that could've been it (:
Get over yourself Aucklanders how many of you know or can spell more than two or three of the 17 cities in China with a population over 3 million people .
The Once and Future King, everything George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut, and Charles Dickens. 180 lbs. and i still haven't ever heard of auckland. don't put all of us into the same boat. it's ignorant.
@HopkinsHopkins what I want to know is where do you get your sense of self-righteousness. You are mocking Americans saying they know less about their country than people outside of it. You, however, cannot spell. So how about you learn your own language first (it's "their" not "there"), genius.
Slamming people for not knowing obscure facts (to them) while being illiterate is a really good way of proving your lack of intelligence. Btw, I am a NZer, so don't even go there.
@TheCourrupted Actually English is my 4th language. But I think I can confidently communicate in English and if I make a odd spelling mistake it doesn't mean the end of the world. When somebody appear and win a game show that cannot spell Auckland, "first language" that is DUMB !!!
@HopkinsHopkins No. I am not too familiar with that country at all. I know where it is. Other than that, I really don't know much about it. I'm not stupid, and neither are these contestants. Not everyone knows about New Zealannd. Stop trying to act like we all should. Now, if it was something here in the U.S., it would be a different story...
@CoolNala The U.S. is only one country out of 195 countries in the world. Why do most Americans believe that it is fine to only know whats going on in there own country. Come on... The irony of it all is most foreigners knows more about your own country than your own citizens.. Check out the video "Americans are NOT stupid - WITH SUBTITLES" on Youtube.
@fullnelson9999 My point exactly!!! You live only for your own stupid country and the rest doesn't matter. Well luckily in a free world I have credibility were ever I want to have. And I can follow your Bubble Gum politics, dumb game shows and stupid sports if I feel bored.
@CoolNala Actually dude you should know where New Zealand is. Its called geography. Just cos you live in the USA doesn't mean you don't have to know basic information about the rest of the world. How insular/ignorant. Im not from USA and I know all states & capitals. Pick up a map and learn about the word around you. Please.
@philstu I already said I know where the country is. I know its capital city, and about the earthquakes that hit it recently. Not everyone in America has to know all the world cities' names and information. What are you trying to say?! Should all Americans be nerds or what?! I know all our states' capitals as well. So, telling me what to do is just stupid. Grow up a little bit will you?! I am smarter than an average Amercian. Get used to it!
we're too busy trying to make enough money to afford $300/month health insurance, keep our jobs, sift through the media's BS, and keep our families safe from the murderers to be wasting time learning every little city in a country we will never be able to go to.
please stop the war, stop the taxes, stop the media's lies, stop the american internet filtering association, and stop the individual health care bill. after that, i'd be happy to learn about those two gorgeous islands.
@HopkinsHopkins There's a difference between "stupid" and "ignorant." We're all ignorant. Every human being on the face of this planet is born ignorant, lives ignorant, and dies ignorant.
It's "stupid" that's problematic. "Stupid" is a type of "ignorant" that is caused by too much stubbornness or pride.
But he did know the other night about William Henry Harrison and his pneumonia after his long outdoor spech, and his death 30 days after becoming president.
@jprogman I know right. Seeing these contestants makes me want to keep on trying out for the show. I can play the game, it just that I have not gotten picked yet.
Wait...when Vanna said "most people know that..." did she actually also think Auckland was the capital? Or was she just trying not to finish her sentence to say "...it's not the capital"?
i got this puzzle with one N in the Auckland word once i saw New and ELN in New Zealand i knew it was AUCKLAND NEW ZEALAND but these 3 losers WERE COMPLETELY CLUELESS ABOUT IT TOTAL FAILURE ON THEIR PART
@map586 A bit general/obscure, I needed his letters. Lucky for Brent though, as all three of these contestants needed a BR like this to have a chance given their previous play.
He needs to look at a map because Auckland is not the capital Welington is
