Default Who's The Better Housemate? Grace Adams-Short OR Helen Wood

Bit random but I think Grace & Helen were perhaps two of the best female housemates ever. I can't decide who was the better housemate out of the two? I wish Grace had stayed in a bit longer as I always felt she was evicted too early.

I wish they would have both been on the same series as it would have been interesting to see how both would have interacted with each other if they were on the same series. Both are quite similar.

Both were seen as leaders in the house and in their groups.
Both are quite controversial
Both disliked Aisleyne.
Both threw drinks over fellow contestants.

Grace was an epic and true to life bitch, schemer and saboteur who was hilariously two-faced and fake.

Helen was just some rough street bully who ruined what could've been a good series with her over-bearing, revolting self, and unlike Grace was honest and in brutal, intolerable ways.

Grace was a natural bitch...the claws came out when they had to...but she also had a nice fun side to her.
Helen Wood was just nasty gutter trash. She rarely showed a fun or soft side and her presence was intimidating. She completely dominated that series and no one else got a look in..

Completely different- Grace was strategic and bitchy but was never actually a bully and was actually a very liked housemate within the group. She was a fantastic housemate and imo not particularly nasty.

Helen was a horrible person who suffocated her series and is probably second only to Conor as the worst housemate ever.

Grace was mature in some ways for her age, but in other ways she was still a little too young and immature. If she'd gone in 5 years later she would have done much better. Great girl though.

Helen was and is vile, however, you can't take away that she's one of the great Big brother villains of all time, and her rivalry with Ashleigh was one of the great BB rivalries.

Prefer Grace, but she was too young at the time, so you'd have to say that, Helen, was the better housemate.

Grace got her comeuppance and wasn’t rewarded for her behaviour, plus she wasn’t physically aggressive. Helen was far more series-dominating and was allowed to sail through to the end whilst acting in the worst manner.

But I agree with Daniel - they’re not alike. Caroline was a lot more Grace-esq in my opinion.

Same here also.
Helen also made herself the focus point of anything and everything that happened in there, and sometimes she wasn't involved in it.
I don't think we've ever seen that in BB history ever. Not saying that's because she was nice (she wasn't) but something about her was intriguing to watch.
She ran that house whether we liked ir or not and she won me round at the very end.

When she was given immunity for the whole series I nearly exploded from the inside of my butthole to the outside of my ears. I have never ever hated a housemate like her since Marco sabba opened his mouth.

Luckily for grace she was at least watchable.

Yeah, I’m definitely of the ‘Helen ruined BB15’ opinion

It’s easy to say she was the central focus when she was shouting every 5 minutes.

It’s quality over quantity and not once did Helen ever make good tv

I wouldn't say either of them "made" their series. BB7 was better without Grace and BB15 was just terrible.

Ooh we got some backlash then Kazanne.
Like yourself I was glad she won, well as I recall, you and I and others were voting for her too as well.

BB7 more or less died the night Sezer was wrongly evicted. If it wasn't for Glyn, keeping it alive, it would have been on par with BB4.

I mean it’s a very flawed season but it wouldn’t be regarded as the classic it is if people felt Glyn was the only good hm.
