Legally and socially most of what we say isn't taken literally. Context and tone are what allows co-existence.

The removal of context and tone is one of the key reasons that secondhand information causes so many problems. Its tainted by bias.

There was no difference in how either of them said it. Both of them said it because they were pissed off. Neither was anywhere close to actually doing anything.

If Helen had screamed it at Ashleigh and threatened her like the Matthew incident you'd have a point. But that's not what happened. In fact the opposite, Ashleigh said it directly to him. Are threats not banned in BB? We're not talking about legally, we're talking about Big Brother, where the rules used to be pretty clear.

But they also pick and choose when to punish nomination discussion so I'm really not surprised.
