Beautiful, dignified, forgiving and articulate in her interview. I wanted Dirk to win, but after hearing Shilpa's interview with the usual burbling Davina, Im glad she won through.

The final went like this :

Jack and Danielle were sixth and fifth, got booed to buggery by the crowd with Jack saying, as they descended the stairs, "They absolutely hate us!". Both squirmed during their interview when shown their bullying. Jack looked the more contrite of the two as Danielle giggled with embarrassment.

Fourth was Ian who got cheered as if he had won. Genuinely nice guy and he had a terrific welcome.

Third was Dirk. Great interview and he came out to cheers and renditions of the A Team music by the crowd.

Gentle Jermaine was the runner up. He got a great reception and his interview was not as exciting as the others but he came across well. He truly is a gentleman.

Pandora my thoughts exactly
Interesting that the final deserving three were non Brits

Well done Shilpa
:applause: :party2: :applause:

Yes I was quite pleased with the outcome of it all. The last 4were all cheered and to be honest were the best of the lot of them

Although I am pleased for Shilpa, I can't but think that she wouldn't have won on her 'personality' alone. Had she not been subjected to the treatment that she was, I don't think there was enough about her to warrant a win. I would have preferred to see Jermaine or Dirk walk away with the title.

A cynic would say it was fixed, wouldn't they? An inevitable outcome. Dirk woz robbed.

A Dirk woz robbed.

I agree. Still he will do very well out of it as will Jermaine and Shilpa who has appointed Max Clifford as her PR and good luck to the three of them.

Don't for get to ask yourself this however. Take Jade and Danielle and swap them at birth with Shilpa and Jermaine - bring them all up in each others lives and what would you get. What you would not get perhaps was Shilpa and Jermaine as you had them last night.

Everyone has good and evil in them and 9/10 if the good is nourished with love and opportunity what you will grow is a beautiful person etc etc.. the jails are not full of people who had good upbringing and opportunity.

Lets hope that some of the oodles of money that Shilpa and Jermaine have from this will go to good effect.

Dont quite understand what point you are making IOW? Neither Danielle or Jo, to my knowledge had a terrible upbringing, in fact arent Danielle's family quite a close family? Jermaine however, was born in the slums of Detroit, with an abusive father and the Jacksons were certainly not born with silver spoons in their mouths!
