Why are some people so polarised in their view ? It's a relationship/interaction that develops over time. It's dynamic, each influences the other's behaviour, sometimes magnifying their natural inclinations. With these recent events, some are saying "X made the first move" as if that makes X an angel and Y the devil incarnate.

Over the years I have watched BB it seems to me that in the final week, previous 'enemies' lighten up and at least superficially become more friendly. For example, Nadia and Jason in BB5. This year is the same, albeit more exaggerated because of the producers interference. I suspect Helen and Ashleigh were naturally coming to this state of affairs anyway, regardless of external influence. Who ever made 'the first move', did not do so 'out of the blue' or in isolation. There was an appropriate time.

When X made this 'first move', I don't expect they would have done so if Y had been scowling at them at the time.

Thats exactly it.

The two were sitting together in the smoking area just prior to being in the bedroom. They seemed to be chatting comfortably and all the awkwardness of earlier was gone.

They both were in the same place mentally, hence Ashleigh was opening up and Helen was receptive. Had either been scowling then that "moment" would never have been reached.

This was a good thing for both sides of the divide, inside and out. Its pointless trying to over analysis it.
