Personally I feel Joel is a twat for his drip, drip of offensive remarks about other hms and his condescending tone in conversations... it's all relative.

Well no, you can be plain speaking without being offensive. Chloe is very plain speaking but she doesn't feel the need to tell people to die or hurl abuse at people every five seconds. People aren't 'seizing' up on her because she's a huge character, they're doing it because she's a vicious bullying twat.

It's not relative, Helen is a disgusting human being and you mistake 'honesty' for being a twat. You can be honest, plain speaking, forward whatever without being a hateful bitch. Helen's just a twat, nothing more nothing less.

..I guess the most 'childlike' thing she's done was last years..I'm always in the right, always in the right, always in the right..and on and on etc..'...speech...

What are your feelings on Helen now and what were they during her own series?

Hmmm I'm not feeling Chloe as plain speaking really at the moment she's gone a bit mousy and is happiest blending in.
Yes words like twat, bitch and disgusting human being are fine but they don't mean anything they're just random insults, a bit like the helenisms you despise.

I have to admit, while we disagree on our views of Helen I do agree about Nikki.

She's nowhere near as awful as Helen, but she did contribute to the Shahbaz nastiness in BB7. Helen's on a totally different level, but Nikki wasn't a saint in her original series, it's just that her nastiness is overlooked by most.

You seriously aren't comparing me commenting on Helen's behavior to Helen herself? She's a bully, I'm simply commenting on the fact that she is a bully and that, in the past and now, she has done everything she can to alienate a belittle anyone she dislikes. This is a woman that outs people on Twitter and brands people she dislikes peadophiles. She isn't honest or straight speaking, she's just a evil toxic little bully and I truly do not understand how anyone can be so blind as to defend her actions.

I'm not totally in agreement with all she says and does at all but I do make comparisons with others and can see their behaviour as bad but in a more subtle way, I'm more offended at cheap jibes than loud swearing.

Helen's been a vicious hypocritical hag since she walked into the house last year and nothing has changed.

I don't think she has grown at all, she still gurns, cries, whines and flies off the handle at odd intervals.... nothing's changed :/
