That purpose of the thread was to celebrate that fact...

I don't agree because Helen didn't have the choice to take the free pass so she is no lesser a housemate in my view than any other because of it.

Just as no housemate,whoever got the pass would have been either.
Helen cannot be nominated because of BB not because of herself.
So she has no control over events the same way Ashleigh and all other housemates haven't,she is also fully abiding by all the rules and scenarios laid down by BB as much as Ashleigh is.

We are never going to agree but I doubt this discussion would be as important if Ashleigh had been the one given the free pass.
That would have made not a jot of difference to me and I would,if such a scenario was the case,be arguing still that Ashleigh was no less a housemate than the others if she had got the pass too.
