Awful. Can't imagine a worse twist. Why are putting up with [even more boring] housemates who aren't even part of the show? I couldn't care less.

I think most of the ex-housemates going in was a slight improvement on a terrible series but the whole putting Helen back in after palling her up with Mark and then protecting Mark from nomination thing cancelled out any improvement and hammered the final nail in the coffin!

if helen gets karma - it will be worth it.

Completely ruined it for me - I would prefer to see relationships develop naturally not have all this enforced drama shoved down my throat and having Helen Wood on my screen again has made me turn off most nights :(

Agree, the whole series is over after this crowd leaves. Can't believe some of the decisions that have been made - it's not entertaining. Subverting humans to subhuman TRASH is not civilised.

Ruined it, an odd appearance for a day or 2 and some noms decisions was fine but all this time,it has taken all the attention off the actual housemates for this year and become a former BB housemates show.

We the public have had no control of any of that and we couldn't even vote one or more of the former housemates out either.

An absolute farce and mess in the end as far as I am concerned.

Its made it much better. The original housemates are the worst set I've ever seen. None of them are entertaining.
