That isn't Helen's fault though,I don't care what any of the housemates say, any of them would have loved to have the free pass to the final from Pauline.
Helen is no way my favourite there but she is an equal housemate who got a very early 'perk' in the series,which I think was wrong to be given so early but again that is not her fault.

Asheigh for instance along with the other females, got a power week solely for them where only the guys were going to be up for eviction.
That isn't an equal scenario either.
Ashleigh may well have gone that week had she not then be protected from being up that week too.

Helen has still had to be in the house, do all the tasks and all else BB expects apart from being at the front of the eviction process.
That surely has to be what a free pass is however and should not have her deemed any less a housemate.
Had she chosen to get the pass, fine, however she was given it and not a sinngle housemate I bet would have refused it either had it been given them by Pauline rather than Helen.

Helen has the advantage because someone had to get that pass,Pauline of all of them chose her for it.
Her status as a housemate should not be belittled and brought down because she had it, if she hadn't the pass then someone else would have it.
I don't get the being pilloried for having something that was 'given' to you.

So for me the top female can be a personal choice as to who is liked but Helen and Ashleigh have been there from the start and one having a free pass while the other doesnt to the final,should not in my opinion make one of any higher status than the other.
I don't like Ashleigh, I make no secret of that,Helen is someone I would talk to but not really have anything to do with but for me on a status level they are both equal in that house as to the major females housemates for the time they have been in it.

It isn't Helen's fault at all that she has what you call an 'advantage', therefore her status as an equal housemate cannot be in question just because she has that pass
A pass which in truth, could have been given to any of the original housemates, except Pauline herself who was the one who decided who got it.
