But there's really no comparison. Helen was a lovely girl with no sides to her. Chantelle seemed to be the same at first, but as time went on, the fact that she's really just a money-grabbing bimbo became more and more obvious. Paul again had no sides to him, and was already financially secure, in any case. Preston is a player, and he'll play anyone, anything, or indeed any situation for his own personal gain. So again, there's really no comparison. And as I think Rach has pointed out several times elsewhere on this forum, they didn't really sell-out - at least to nothing like the degree that Chantelle and Preston have. They fell in love with each other, not with cash, material gain and celebrity status.
That all depends on how long the gravy train runs for. And romance is fine, when it's real.
I'd rather be cynical and form my own opinions, rather than have them dictated to me by the media, thanks all the same.

Well, Im glad we agree on Helen and Paul being decent, dare I say, kids. You are correct in saying they were honest and straightforward people who genuinely fell in love and, presumably are still happy together.
I just prefer to see the best in people, so Im happy for Chantelle and Preston, even though they arent in the same league as Helen and Paul in our affections on this board(certainly amongst the veterans on here).
I also think that Preston was pretty well off before hand, with a well-to-do family, and his own flat by the age of 24.
