And the winner is…Ulrika!
That is incredible!
You could have won a lot of money betting on Ulrika early in the week, it seemed so unlikely that she would win. Lots of you are crying ‘fix’.
We should pay tribute to Terry though – definitely the best laugh in the house.
So why did Ulrika take the crown? Well – there are probably a few reasons:
- She’s genuinely liked by the British public. She’s had a hard time in her private life, but has been a popular presenter for 15 or more years.
- She didn’t take any crap in the house and called a spade a spade. People like that honesty.
- Once she relaxed in the final week, she turned out to be quite a good laugh.
yeahhhhhhhhhhh
get in there girl! you deserve something gud!

Here here Chris i totally agree
Comment by Jennifer — January 23, 2009 @ 10:36 pm
utter bollocks, Terry should have won. Is Big Bro playing it safe after the whole Jade incident??? Allowing the only woman to win when obviously so many wanted Terry to win. I will not bother again… I only watched the final to hear what he had to say on his housmates with great northern humour!!!!
Rubbish………..
Comment by amanda — January 23, 2009 @ 10:39 pm
All i can say is get over it Amanda,the best person won
Comment by Jennifer — January 23, 2009 @ 10:47 pm
Can’t believe she won was shocked by all the results tonight. Turned over before ulrika came out of the house. Vern or Terry should have won totaly put off watching future BB’s now.
Comment by C — January 23, 2009 @ 10:54 pm

your kids will be proud. no more tears just enjoy your moment of revenge.!!!
Comment by LINDA. WEST MIDLANDS — January 23, 2009 @ 11:32 pm
For those that are claiming “fix”. Grow up. The winner won fair and square. Yes she is probably annoying to many, but she was also honest and fair and showed more ‘integrity’ (take note Terry) than any of them. She was,m the best of a horribly bad lot. What were the alternatives?…
Verne – a one time celbrity for being made fun of, by acting horrifically bad , in a horrifically bad film. He’s a nobody!
Coolio – Good god! An egotistical, (typically American) dumb American living in his own bubble world of planet Coolio who wxpects anyone nor from America to think he is a God, in fact we just think he’s a pillock!. And who the hell calls themself ‘Coolio’? He can’t sing, can;t dance, and can;t even speak very well,and can;t have a conversation. I could go on but I;m boring myself…he should have been evicted on day one for mental torture.
Terry – Ah, Terry Christian. The working man’s politician. Shouting out for the majority class, so he thinks, and then slags them all off. Hypocrite..crawling hypocrite. Lets hope he goes to LA to visit his new rapper bezzymate and stays there.
Latoyah – Well, there’s a conundrum. The sichophantic thick American who at 52 shoes all the sense of a 4 year old. What is she on? And does she have a problem with her lower lip? Jacko lsot his nose, or was it an ear? But Latoya seems to be trying to keep her lower jaw together all thre time. The sooner the leave Blightie the better.
Tina – The fat Scouser….say no more. Except love, you are NOT and never will be intelligent, stick to the lard and fags and stop pretending to know things, anything.
etc etc etc, the rest are too dull to mention. and before you reply by saying ” well, it can;t be that bad if you watched it enough to comment!”"” blah blah blah… I have in fact had to endure the series as part of a university psychology course. I hate Big Brother, and look forward to it;s demise and all it stands for.
Well done Ulrika.
Comment by Kristina — January 23, 2009 @ 11:33 pm
how come the one who got booed most won?
it stinks of fix
i hope the watchdog checks the phone stats
bet lots of people complain that they could not get through for the person they wanted win
Comment by jack — January 23, 2009 @ 11:55 pm

Comment by peter — January 23, 2009 @ 11:57 pm

Comment by big shmo — January 24, 2009 @ 12:01 am
Wow! Ulrika did it, well done to all who supported her. May winning give her strength to take her where she wants to go next in life. Lov’d the denim skirt made her look real good
Chris, wasn’t me in the crowd, must have been my Fan Club Haaaaaaaaa!!
xxxx to all
Comment by fran — January 24, 2009 @ 2:50 am
Errrrmmm – is it only me who thinks that it would be MORE of a fix if the favourite won?
“That’s what’s expected, so let’s make sure it happens – it’s what people want” ?
To my way of thinking, this outcome shows that it definitely ISN’T a fix, because BB knew what the public EXPECTED (i.e Verne to win), so why would they risk annoying the public so much that they boycott the whole programme and don’t watch it ever again, by making somebody else the winner – they stand to lose too much money if BB bombs.
Ulrika won fair and square!
Live with it !!!!!!!!
Comment by Chris S — January 24, 2009 @ 10:32 am
Fran – yes, the skirt did look good, didn’t it? She could have done something with her hair, though – left it down, maybe, after straightening it so beautifully ???!!!!! Still, what the hell, SHE WON !!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by Chris S — January 24, 2009 @ 10:35 am
Fran – couldn’t sleep again ???? (2.50am !!!!!!)

Comment by Jennifer — January 24, 2009 @ 6:15 pm
Have enjoyed,
Detective Chris S who usually picks the BB winner, (no joke)
Early tonight Chris 1.55am ha! Will remember this “do you ever sleep?” bless, you are a hoot!!
Have started watching Dancing on Ice for some tips!
Jane’s FAB one liners are second to none, “can I have your autograph?”
Vixx, writes with passion & FUN! & don’t mince her words!
Jennifers ZERO tolerance sorts em out!! (side splitting stuff)
Till we blog again xxxx
Comment by fran — January 25, 2009 @ 1:58 am
Firstly, she survived all evictions. Secondly, all the people that liked Verne didn’t vote very much because they thought that every one else would vote. Now why its a fix. Its the same as the summer, Ulrika must be another Rachel. Heres my idea to make BB popular again. Stop BB for around 10 Years, then bring it back. But advertise saying “Big Brothers back, and its better than before” ok
Comment by Eyan — January 25, 2009 @ 8:31 pm
Kristina & Chris S. Two very sensible people. Coolio, LaToya, Tommy & Tina were all vile. There was a big fuss last year over racism but no fuss over Coolio & Tommy being sexist. They have no respect for women. The others were just dull. Ulrika has had bad luck with her men but that is life. You win some and lose some. The plus side is that she has 4 great children. Nobody ever slagged off Joan Collins or Elizabeth Taylor for having so many husbands so why slag off Ulrika.
Kristina is so, so right. There was no contest. The right person won. Well done Ulrika.
Sorry Kristina…you really should do a spell- check before posting something for public scrutiny.
