She's definately not the best skater there, but still not the worst. These shows thrive on drama and difficulties. If everyone has a great attitude and was happy-go-lucky, wouldn't the show be a touch less exciting. There has to be a villan.
I like Ulrika. I know she hasn't always done herself favours in the popularity department. But it's also true that the media, and the editors on this show to an extent are waiting for any slightly negetive comment she makes to pounce on. And this thread is the reason they do it.... great discussion and interest.
Likeable happy people can get monotonous, it's the annoying ones that get under you skin, are memorable and you talk about!
I imagine Ulrika is used to bad press by now and doesnt' give a damn.... good on her for that. At least there is no pretensce.
