Okay, so someone coming in and exposing the original Big Brother villain for what he is would have been wrong.

And how come Helen should be forgotten about, but this Nasty Nick guy should be considered?

Helen is not being forgotten about. She is just irrelevant to what was going on with Danielle.

They can come in as characters or themselves or whoever and that's all they should be judged on by the people in the house. Outside info should only be revealed at their discretion. It's supposed to be about a bunch of people in a house with no contact with the outside world, so yes, their outside lives are irrelevant unless they want them to be otherwise.

Their outside lives are essential to understanding whether or not they are honest people in the house. It has always been that way. Nasty Nick started Big Brother off with all the controversy surrounding him and the lies he was telling such as having a wife that died in a car accident to make himself a more sympathetic figure. He was a manipulative person who the public turned against, but he was hugely popular in the house with the others.

Danielle was as much of a liar as he was. She was a total sham and continued to be one in the face of being exposed as such.

Helen is just a nasty piece of work. But not a sham.
