I don't get the hate for Helen at all.

She isn't someone anyone needs to be around anyway, she was/is a housemate on a reality show.
Her past is a dubious one admittedly but there it is, and it was always odd to me that she gets slated for what she did, while those who were 'so called happily married family men' threw money around to be with someone providing what Helen did with them.
They get off scot free,yet if they were not seeking such a 'service' there would be no need for anyone to provide it.

In the house, she was loud and dominating, probably very difficult for most to live with but for some reason she is condemned for that, while others who are much the same escape much criticism as to their actions in the house during any series.

Once a hate figure, then it normally continues, however I would rather someone like Helen to deal with who will say to your face what she thinks of you, cares nothing for the endless insulting criticism she gets and constant put downs but just gets on with things,than those who stab you in the back and are 2 faced towards you too.

She has done all BB probably expected of her in this series.
There are those who warmed to her later in her series last year who still see the reasons we warmed to her, there are those who really like her come what may.
Then there are those who think she likely shouldn't even exist.

Those views will not likely ever be changed one way or another, no matter what she may do or how she may act but for me, the really acidic and vile comments about her are greatly unwarranted.
that is my view,it became so halfway through her series last year and I have seen not a thing this last week,to make me think any differently towards her from forming that view.
