It won’t be long before she’s at it again when the warnings aren’t so fresh in her mind.

How is Helen going to grow and learn if she can behave how she likes and it all should be forgiven and forgotten so easily? Her friends and family probably do this all the time. She says herself “I know that I’m like” as if this is an excuse for her behaviour. She gets away with it. She is nice to people she likes and nasty to those she doesn’t.

She has a nasty, mean streak in her and I can’t warm to people like that. I can understand people liking her for the 'entertainment value' but it’s hard for me to believe some people genuinely like her. But they do, so that’s that.

Thank you

And yep I agree, I don't think Helen has miraculously changed, I believe she entered the house and she was like fighter in attack mode. But I do think she's reined in that part of herself. Perhaps it was the warning that was the wake up call, or it was the boos, or maybe even the group dynamics are different so she no longer has to battle to be alpha female.

Also I totally get it why a lot of people are against her, and will be no matter what she does in the house.

But if you look at the housemates, Mark, Winston, Marlon & Ash think the world of her. And I'm hesitant to bring Pauline into this, but she gave Helen a pass based on just a conversation or two. For that to happen, she muct be pretty likeable in real life.

Anyway for me liking Helen isn't difficult. She's a real person, flawed, at times fierce and she's having fun.
