I'm sure Vanessa will be voted out before Ulrika - thats a given but I was quite interested watching the HL show last night at the two different approaches in handling the 'high maintenance' Nikki.

Ulrika - she is very intolerant of Nikki and cant conceal her impatience any time Nikki opens her mouth. I cant say that Nikki would be an easy person to be around and to that extent I don't blame Ulrika - but as a mum and a lady of a little more maturity she must know that some situations and people have to be 'handled'. When she dismisses Nikki (as in the Majorette's task) its not that she doesn't have a point, but the way she deals with things just causes an atmosphere and bad feeling for the whole house, not just Nikki.

Vanessa - She tolerates Nikki in a way that she humours the 'child' as it is obvious Nikki acts very childish in situations, but her way of dealing with the bed thing i.e. I dont want to change but of course if you go on long enough and wear me down I will change - much better surely. She didn't let Nikki get her way but she did it in a way that did'nt make it an issue.

I find this very interesting because imo its where Ulrika loses my respect - I think she has good points on people and situations a lot of the time but I'm not sure she goes about it the right way and ends up giving me the impression that 'my way is always the right way and the only way - end of)

Thoughts?
