WHEN fatima was told it might be you.. she looked very worried.
she is hoping to win, and will do anything to win...

I saw that! Very competetive, even after that small water fight.

i thought maybe if she won!!!!! she may have a tv contract. a new show for her to introduce..
or something similar...

You say that like it's a bad thing. They all want to win. Do you think she'd have been the great champion that she was if she'd turned up at the World Althletics Championships just 'for the experience'.

Get real.

They all are! What part of 'it's a competition to win' don't you understand!?

Were all brain washed in this country to believe winning is a bad thing.

Exactly. It now seems a crime if you want to win. Isn't that what they all want or are some of them pretending they are only their for the experience?

That's more genuine than those who sit there with rictus grins plastered to their faces, like the prospect of rejection is the best thing that's ever happened to them.

Fatima will find out soon enough when she comes out that she is adored by many.

she is not at the bloody Olympics now is she.. you are in the wrong time warp..

and loved by a few!!!!!!!

I so agree with you I am sick to death of the 'sports, Olympic angle being brought up time and time again. Enough already.

But she has the mindset of a sporting champion - she can't just switch her personality off and assume the vapid unthreatening personality that we are used to seeing on these shows - and I admire her for that.

Of course they all want to win. It's the same if you buy a lottery ticket you hope for a win. You don't buy one (if you do buy one at all of course) and think to yourself, 'I hope I don't win' it's the name of the game.

No she's not but you have to appreciate that she has that competitive edge. It's part of her makeup & it's partly what separates the likes of Fatima (and Linford last year) from your rank & file 'celebs'. If they didn't have it then they wouldn't have become the great champions that they did.

Indeed!

Just wondering why her past sporting achievements are still being brought up time and time again as examples or excuses for her behaviour. Is she to spend her whole life being defined by medals, does she define herelf by past sporting achievements. If she takes herself so seriously as an Olympian why is she taking part in a celeb tv show

I agree completley. She was progammed to be a top athlete and to win. You can not change what makes you who you are.
Shame there are not more people in this country with a winning mentality.
The great british public love someone that is modest and trys lol.

And you're in the wrong, end of. There's nothing bad about wanting to win, or perhaps being worried that you're not liked.

what else is there to say....

You seem to be missing the point completely. I'm not going to explain it for a third time.

What do you mean by "excuses for her behaviour"? She hasn't done anything wrong!

They all want to flipping win...she`s no exception!

I'm not defining her by her past sporting achievements even though that's a big part of whom she is. She's much more than that and has shown herself to be a caring, lovely person. Most of the other celebs who've come out have mentioned her big heart and think she's a deserved winner. That's got to say more than ITV are trying to hide in support of the TOWIE or Corrie winner they want.

She was probably offered some good money for a few weeks work. If you have been an athlete and have trained hard to beat others and competing for many years its going to mould you in that mindset. There is nothing wrong with wanting to win. Champions dont go by the motto its the taking part that counts.
