Lucy's out - so why's Ulrika crying?

Posted by Jane Murphy

So the public have spoken, the votes have been counted and verified, blah, blah, blah - and the first person to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house was Page 3/Tory girl Lucy Pinder. But when Davina went live to the house, it was all about Ulrika.

For reasons that probably won't become fully clear until tonight's catch-up show, the much-maligned mum-of-four was sobbing uncontrollably into her hands shortly before the eviction announcement. And even when Lucy was given her marching orders, the cameras stayed on Ulrika.

Of course, it could all just have been a desperate attempt to steal the limelight. Or perhaps Coolio had driven her to distraction with another of his in-your-face rapping sessions. Or maybe - just maybe - these were genuine tears of emotion from a much misunderstood woman.

Lucy certainly thinks it's the latter. After leaving the house to a roughly equal mix of cheers and boos, the oh-so-gracious evictee told Davina: "Ulrika was the biggest surprise to me. She's really warm and motherly." Mind you, she was very fond of Verne, too. "He's lovely - a very calming presence," she gushed.

So who would Lucy have nominated for eviction if she'd still been in the house? Needless to say, Coolio would have got her first vote - but despite much over-zealous coaxing from Davina, she had trouble naming a second nominee. In the end, she opted for Ben - saying she didn't speak to him much and they have very little in common.

Still, a much-larger-than-was-strictly-necessary proportion of the eviction interview consisted of Davina bemoaning the fact that Lucy hadn't shown everyone her "baps" during the talent show task. "I really wanted you to get them out," whined Ms McCall. "I'll get them out for you later," Lucy promised - thus providing the Daily Star with its dream headline.

So did the right person leave? Could Ulrika go on to win? And will Coolio ever shut up? Tell us what you think.

Oh, what a surprise, another report/picture about Ulrika crying AGAIN, go if its that bad for gods sake. As I understand it, she survived eviction so what the hell is she crying for!!!!! Saw a clip of it advertised on Channel 4 tonight, where she is crying and Tina goes over to hug her, for gods sake, get a grip. You offered to go in there!

GET ULRIKA OUT!!!!

Ulrika reminds me of Heather McCartney. Enough said. Kick her out, she clearly is missing her kids (NOT).

Lucy was snobby, had a whiny voice and was boring but genuinely polite and nice.

Get Tina out.

Please get this horrid woman out! I tried SO, SO hard to warm to her but she gives me no reason to. She is a bitter, attention-seeking drama queen and master manipulator. Her tears and smile (smirk rather!) are as fake as Mutya's nails. Constantly blurting out rude obnoxious comments and making snide remarks about others to and away from their face, laughing & b|tching behind their backs with the girls (joking about Verne's gf's height is plain nasty!!) She snaps at everyone! "Don't do that!", "Not now", "Wait", "You stupid girl!!!".....then when someone tells her the truth, her ego can't handle it and the tears come on. Give me a break! I have no sympathy towards her 'missing her kids' like Terry who can relate, does. You're in there for a few days and you're getting a hefty paycheque regardless, must you turn the spotlight upon yourself and make a big drama of it all!?? I'm sorry but she is so transparent & desperate for the public to adore her, she will do anything & it's working! She is snooty, controlling, patronising, dismissive, abrupt, rude utter hypocrite. Don't get me started on deluded, two faced, stirring, boastful Tina whose all gob and nothing else!! YUK!
