When the new housemates were unleashed last night I could NOT believe my eyes that Ulrika paraded down the carpet for the second time. Granted she won her series of Celeb BB however that result stunk to high heaven. So much so that at the time I was so enraged I actually wrote to Ofcom to complain of the outcome and I suggest they investigated the voting on it.
My reasons are as follows; she continually referred to the fact that she had negotiated her own contract on the show, she was not particularly funny, kind, interesting, insightful, helpful, or particularly anything...that is the whole point.
Every winner we have EVER had have had some aspect to their character which the audience empathise with making us love them for whatever reason. Even the incredibly dull Rachel Rice was an excpetionally NICE girl who was resiliant throughout. Also Cameron (zzzzz) Stout was a genuinely charming guy with a good heart. Which leads me to ask the question, WHO VOTED FOR ULRIKA AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WHY??? Ulrika is the only winner who has been booed. Usually by the time the housemates emerge as winners the crowd are euphoric and are just excited to see them.....very fishy.
Needless to say Ofcom wrote back to me confirming that they had looked into this matter briefly and were satisfied that no "fixing" had taken place. In all honesty I do not believe that they investigated this and were just too busy to look into it further. I just accepted this as I thought that would be an end to it.
Now what do I find, that same trixter Ulrika waltzing into the house after complaining like buggery about how bloody miserable she had been for the duration of her stay. Why on earth would this woman who is VERY shrewd and savvy go back into a house where she was subjected to such misery unless she had something to gain? My guess is that it is purely for self gratification and financial reasons and if she has "negotiated" her own contract again then there is probably a clause in there which makes her the ultimate winner.
My only hope is that I am way off and she is despatched quick time and we get to enjoy deserving housemates like Pete Bennett, Mario (the Ant and Dec one) Craig Phillips, Rex, Mikey or even the irrepressable dark horse Marcus...
Come on BB, give us a memorable one and reassure me that it is not going to be the Ulrika show...
