..it's funny how we all see things differently and yet 'see the same thing'...I don't see Helen as being loyal to her 'friends at all...what I see is someone who controls..a real life 'Power' person and so long as the people around her fall inline, agree with her, cheer her and basically never question or criticise her then she will defend them..'protect' them but they would feel her wrath in a split second if they ever dared to question her behaviour...that's not friendship, that's control..and the cool gang have on the whole been happy to be controlled because then they haven't had to put themselves in the firing line so much and had to be so vocal ..Ash has gone through the whole series under the shadow of Helen...and she's been happy to have taken that control also because with her immunity, neither has she ever really been in the firing line until now, when she's facing 'her public' ....how easy it's ben for her to have been 'the entertainment' of the series...and even then, she hasn't really been...she's dragged it down imo....
