That's sort of how I saw it....maybe she should have just left it after the shake of the head though...
Lucinda just came across as being petty. Good on Helene for not taking the oppurtunity to rubbish Lucinda's lack of skill set on the programme and at least try to put things behind.
She had the right to defend herself, but she came across as being too angry and aggressive. Lucinda seemed to provoke a lot of arguments with different people, so Helene wasn't to blame for everything that happened between them.
Well, I'm seeing Lucinda as rather manipulative now, I'm surprised she behaved like that... and actually Raef should have said something when it happened, in my opinion. Although I can understand him not wanting to after it all ended.
I must admit I have yet to see the after show, so it's possible I will feel differently after seeing it (but I doubt it). Lucinda really was appallingly bullied. How many of us would feel the same so soon after the event?
I don't know how to judge it really. Lucinda did come across as bitter but when Helene was basically saying that they get on now when they don't and bringing up how Lucinda told her "personal things" she hadn't told other candidates, Lucinda had a right to defend herself. She must have really took some of the treatment she recieved to heart. I mean, we don't know all that went on. I know that if i'd been treated badly by someone I would find it very hard to just forgive and forget.
But she did it in a way that she didn't come across well. I certainly wouldn't have acted in the way she did. It's a great shame since she's came across so well in all the interviews i've seen with her over the last week due to her firing.

In this case you learned that Raef is a gentlemen who refuses to take sides in a pointless p*ssing contest over something that happened months ago.

Well we don't know what went on but imagine if someone who was uniformally dreadful and lazy as well as being a liar goes on telly saying you are "friends" and that you know a lot of "confidential stuff"...wouldn't you be p1ssed off?
I probably wouldn't have reacted though, personally.

Yes but it made Lucinda look bad, she could have done something else to make a point, acting the way she did made her look bad, said nothing about Helene, just her.
