i know there's a whole thread for BB but why and how did that woman win?

[piratecat]

I wanted Terry to win.

sulks

i like her a lot

Did you vote for her Ria?

I think people voted for her because she stood up to Coolio and didn't yell back at anyone when they slagged her off

YeToxicHighRoad - why is it worse to leave a 7 month old who probably doesn't notice as much as her older children
Some people work away for a couple of weeks or longer when their baby is 6 months +, once their maternity leave is over
In a way she was just working away from home for her family

I'm not going there RF. I just got fed up of seeing her wingeing and crying about her kids when she chose to go inthere. I'm sure a mother who goes away for work for long stretches doesn't impose any misery she feels on anyone else.

you see yetox i understood that in a way - she got 175K for three weeks work - that means she doesnt really have to work again for a long time - i would have done it - and lots of dads have to work away as we know

she'll get loads of work on the back of it too so that will make loads more money for her family

she probably shagged someone.

If I got paid £150,000 i would have left my family for a much longer time than 3 weeks. Would we judge a man leaving his baby that long? Probably not.

I didn't care who won as long as it wasn't Tommy Sheridan.

I was glad she won. Couldn't understand all the booing.

and we all know these shows are fixed, so the fact she won doesn't actually have anything to do with her popularity.

I would leave my 4 month for 3 weeks for 175K. Does that make me a bad mother or someone savvy, who would be set up financial for this year (and a few more) and have no financial worries? In this current climate seems quite prudent to me.

All her moaning why did,nt she just leave?the money was too important!.If she was,nt scowling she was crying which looked strange her face does,nt move properly obviously had some crap injected in it.Not only did she win we,ll have to see her on tv and in all the mags.Bookies are always right its a fix has to be as alot of people who like cbb would be youngish why would they like her?.I would have prefered Coolio and thats saying something!should have been Terry.

If bookies are always right, why would anyone ever bet on anything other than a favourite?

Im made up she won

with all those horrible men in there!

175 for three weeks work? i'd leave dd2 and she's only five months old. i'd hate it and if possible i would moan about it all the time, but i'd do it for sure. she'd be absolutely fine with her father.

I think she won because she's a bit of an "underdog" - 4 LO's by 4 different fathers - she seems a bit like your friend that makes all the same mistakes again & again iykwim, I didn't vote, but was pleasantly suprised she won...

What did she do that was so bad? She wasnt like pathetic La Toya and that stupid laugh and her snidey ways. She totally took the piss out of herself and got on with the tasks.

She won because people voted for her. What was so "nice" about Verne? He gave me the creeps and I thought he was rude.

She has 4 kids by 4 dads...so fucking what? Im far more concerned about Verne, La Toya and Coolios attitude after viewing the Obama video and saying that we would be nothing were it not for them.

I would have left my kids for 3 weeks for £175k!!!! She also thought she wouldnt be in that long. And as for crying because she missed her kids.....I bet she would have got slagged off if she didnt cry for missing her kids. She was in there 24 hours a day and they only show little bits of the day...if she cried now and then, then fair enough.

If she left she would not have got paid.

If I had been in there getting £175k I would have been crying because I missed my kids too.

And Terry was so obviously jealous of her fee. Get a better agent then Terry and stop whinging.

Oh, morespamthanglam - thank you for reminding me about that - I particularly liked how they seemed to imply the rest of the world was discovered by America .
And the "why didn't they give us their seats" complaint!

"If bookies are always right, why would anyone ever bet on anything other than a favourite?"
I never normally bet, but put 10 quid on Ulrika to win at 10-1. Had a hunch!

Oooh, Feenie will you share future tips?

Right-o! Dh is scared I am going to start down a slippery slope with a gambling addiction now, and bet all the housekeeping on the horses!

people go on about 4 kids 4 fathers etc, cant really count one of them as he dissapeared on her a couple of months after her child who was ill was born

Just some people the press love to tear apart and the public belive lots of it

when she actually came across as a very nice and down to earth person

Haven't had time to totally catch up with this thread so apologies if repeating something that's already been said BUT

Interesting piece in the bastion of truth which is NOW magazine. Article said that producers edited Ulrika favourable because they wanted to keep her in because
A) she has been paid SOOOOO much cash to appear (significantly more than anyone else) so they were hoping that
B) she would earn her huge fee by blabbing about her torrid love life.

She didn't but their editing ensured that she stayed in.
