Message for Our Wonderful Ulrika.
I have been watching whilst away and I haven't been able to post on here but I want to leave a message for Ulrika if she ever finds the Forum.I have just posted this on the main Forum and I wanted to put it here with her supporters.
Dear Ulrika
Thank you for giving me someone to support. You were natural, elegant, witty, entertaining, beautiful and strong throughout the show. You showed solidarity with the other women even when you weren’t totally in agreement with what they did.
What you did for all equal minded women and men yesterday was wonderful. You are probably not aware of the impact your attitude had on the Great British Public. You managed to kick the a***s of all the sexist men in the house in a beautiful, understated and witty yet fair way. Your imperfections were endearing.
The men in the house managed, in the space of three weeks to:[LIST][*]Totally exclude women from their "lads" club. [*]Make staying up late a prerequisite for being a good housemate – even if they all looked dreadful the next day and fell asleep during the day. [*]Intimidate the three younger women causing them to get upset and want to leave - Coolio & Tommy in particular, were the guilty parties. [*]Slag off all the women and pat each other on the back in the most sickening way. [*]Display jealousy because you were getting more money. Terry and Tommy were the main culprits. [*]Display inverted snobbery because you spoke English without an accent. Terry and Tommy were the main culprits. [*]Allegedly accuse you of racism – Coolie did this and it made front page news. [*]
Use the most degrading and disgusting language to describe all of the women, Coolio was the main culprit but Verne also joined in – the other men sat and giggled[/LIST].
You weren’t aware of half of this as it happened behind your backs. They would go and say most of the stuff out at the ashtray or when you went to bed.
A lot of us were incensed by the way they attempted to do a character assassination and the totally misogynistic attitude of the men. Tina tried to fight back but she fought fire with fire whereas you just used dry humour and witty putdowns - it was music to our ears.
Once again thank you! I hope it brings you back onto our screens once again. I hope the other women thrive and the men go back into their pens where sexist pigs should remain.
One last thing – it is nice to know that you galvanised us women but loads of men felt and voted the same way.

PS: When I refer to women in the house I exclude Queen Latoya as she was a surrogate man.
