Helen has never used the empathy mirror. BB made her look in the mirror, it made her cry.

..that's not quite true, she only felt any remorse for Steven because she bitched about 'her own' ..showing or feeling any empathy/compassion would also encompass people she liked less but would be able to see things from their viewpoint and she herself said that she could care less about the others ..well, because of her behaviour in the house, they also could care less about her, maybe..?..when they discuss her but then she is horrified and condemns them...Helen's problem, her main problem is her complete lack of empathy and yet, in her life and her feeling of 'unfairness' in it all, she expects so much empathy herself...
..having said that though, I did feel some sympathy with her, whether misplaced or not ..and sorry Jake, I am going to draw a comparison with Ashleigh..in that most tears are real in my opinion and most remorse is real in the house, that's how I feel so I wouldn't be heartless about how Helen reacted to what BB showed her but when Ashleigh felt emotional after having to choose Ash for eviction of their three choices and really hadn't wanted to..some Ashleigh 'haters' could not accept the reality of those tears which to me were very sincere so it gets tedious as an Ashleigh supporter, that 'double standards' are more often thrown at them....not by you btw, just in general...
