why am I not surprised?
It appears that Miss Teen South Carolina's crown for being America's biggest ditz has been stolen by an American Idol contestant whose ill-fated quiz show appearance is sweeping the internet.
Kellie Pickler, who made the final six of the 2005 Idol series, had the audience of Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader in a state of disbelief and hilarity when she declared that Europe is a country where people speak French.
Three months after Miss South Carolina famously butchered a question regarding geography in the Miss Teen pageant, Pickler was asked: Budapest is the capital of what European country?
The 21-year-old immediately threw her hands in the air as she stared blankly at the board.
"This might be a stupid question … but I thought Europe was a country," she said to host Jeff Foxworthy.
As the studio audience started to giggle, her fifth-grade partner Nathan laughed in disbelief and rolled his eyes.
"I know they speak French there, don't they?" a mystified Pickler continued.
"Is France a country?
"I don't know what I'm doing."
The blonde country singer, who also hails from South Carolina, wisely chose to copy her schoolboy partner's answer instead of entering her own.
"I don't think France is a country, but I would have said that," she told a bemused Foxworthy.
When told the answer was Hungary, a look of disbelief came over Pickler's face.
"Hungry?" the puzzled singer asked.
"That's a country?
"I've heard of Turkey, but Hungry?
"I've never heard of it."
It would not surprise many that Pickler was once dubbed 'The next Jessica Simpson', after the pop starlet who was once stumped by a slogan stating 'tuna is the chicken of the sea'.
In August, Miss South Carolina became a worldwide celebrity when footage of her answering a pageant question swept the internet.
When asked 'why can’t so many Americans identify the United States on a map?', she responded with nonsensical ramblings about Iraq, South Africa and the bizarre observation that "some people in our nation don't have maps".
