Jale, Christopher, Danielle and Matthew. All these people, at one point or another, where outsiders. Most of these “fights” took place when she had alcohol taken, or when she was in a position of power, surrounded by her friends.

The most important thing here is to kill this myth that Helen always confronts those that she is bitching about, which is what a lot of people claim when comparing her to Ashleigh. Its not true. She picks her fights.

For a couple of weeks the house was split between Helen side and Toya’s side. Was there a confrontation? Was there hell. Where was Helen when the fight broke out between Toya and the lads? She was nowhere. She waited for a day or two and then tackled…Matthew. Far easier target.

Helen also had a few problems with Chris. Where was the argument? Where was the upfront Helen? Nowhere. Danielle threw Chris under the bus by telling Helen and the rest that he believed that he was smarter than the rest of them, that they kind of bored him. Why didn’t the “tell it like it is” Helen say something to him? Could it be that Chris has been regularly cheered, and saved, by the audience?

Helen picks her fights.

For the last couple of weeks Ashleigh has been a regular bitching point for Helen and the gang. But there was no confrontation. Even after the morgue where they got all worked up over some video, once they came out, nothing. Helen talked a big game, but said squat to Ashleigh.

Fast forward a couple of days and Ashleigh gets a bad reaction from the audience. Helen gets another clip played for her. What happens? War breaks out. Unlike Chris, Ashleigh isn’t protected by popularity. Does Helen take her aside? No, it’s done right there, in public, with the likes of Ash to give her the moral support she needs. Helen doesn’t do face to face.

Jale did face to face. Much harder. And its not the first time that she’s done that.

But going back to the fight, there were a couple differences from the norm on last nights HLS. The first was Ashleigh reaction, she didn’t get riled. And although it wasn’t shown on the HLS, I believe she was able to bite back. Secondly, both Mark and Winston stepped in. Not to defend Ashleigh, but to contain the situation. And so Helen reverted to bitching in the corner again.

That’s Helen summed up. She’ll only go for someone if she perceives them as weak. Up until last Friday she had no idea where Ashleigh stood, so there was no confrontation. Then there was…
