The people who made bets and intended to vote for the housemates they bet on are not going to change their mind.
I was considering making a bet on Ash weeks ago when he was 30/1, but I would not have voted for him. There will be others who HAVE done what I was going to do.

Heartening as it is to see the odds shortening for Helen, it isnt everything

As we know Matthew was fave to stay with the bookies - we booted his ass
Toya was fave to stay with the bookies - we booted her skanky ass
Winston was always in top 3 with bookies - Ashleighs bitter fans booted his ass

Dont rely completely on the odds, nice as it is to see, it all comes down to transferring that to votes, and we all know how helpful BB are in opening and closing lines on the night to give us a better chance with our fave

What I do believe, is that Helen has had a major turnaround with the public, and the GBP love a redemption story, rather than the story of a little beauty queen whose never had to work a day in her life and has been spoiled rotten by her family. (Nothing wrong with that, but it isnt what the GBP want)

On the other hand - a girl whose life has been ****, some of it her own fault as she admits, has been in foster care, pregnant at 16, the man f.cked off, got a job as a clerk, worked hard, made another mistake (huge) and has spent a lot of time paying for it (being beaten up in pubs/street etc) and has now shown us the soft underbelly of her character after fighting her emotions to keep the hard surface that she wants people to see to protect herself.

Its also obvious that even though Helen went back to school to get GCSE's, she is not the brightest in the house (academically speaking), and that partly her arguing is frustration at not being able to deal with things logically when she is upset

She is a typical underdog, and as such, deserves the GBP's support

So lets not give it to the girl who has everything (not her fault I know)
Lets give it to the girl who has worked hard to get her own business (and yes, sleeping with men you dont want to sleep with must be very hard) and provide a decent life for her son

VOTE FOR HELEN FOR A FAIRYTALE ENDING!!!
