Partially agree with OP. On one hand, Ulrika and Preston shouldn't really be there. On the other hand, I'm glad there's no chance of losing anymore of the best characters (namely Brian Chantelle and Nikki) before the final, losing Vanessa is certainly no big deal. Both Nick and Michelle are in between. We'll definitely have one of them in the final (presuming that hideous woman doesn't actually stay!!) So it could be worse. A bit.
