I understand Helen all too well. She is a sneering, nasty, self -centred, vile, spiteful bitch. She delights in the conflicts between other people - have you missed her little smiles of joy and laughs and sneers when other HM's are at each other throats? I haven't. It's her daily bread and butter. She laps it up and revels in it.
She hasn't a real friend in the house, imo. I believe Ash to his great regret nailed himself to her bedpost early on and is now kicking himself but can't get out of it without looking like a turn - coat. I doubt he even likes her but he's made his bed and has to lie in it - literally - with Helen. Or else his life will be miserable.
I often see him looking uncomfortable and embarrassed when she is talking BS and reading everything the wrong way because she is so bloody unaware and insensitive. She's ****** up his BB experience, just as she's ****** up other HM's experiences as well

Just as she's ****** up this years BB...and some people claim she has made the series. Made it what - made it a series with a stifled atmosphere with her malignant presence casting a shadow and taking the limelight away from the brightness and expressiveness we should have seen a lot more of in the others.
