Maybe many of them thought she was on a journey and came out a much better person? Many some of them felt sorry for her? Maybe many of the people who disliked the outsiders wanted one of the cool gang to win and seeing that it was only Helen and Ashleigh in the final two they voted for Helen.

Lets also remember that fans of Helens gang who had all been evicted would be more likely to vote for Helen than Ashleigh who had always had a problem with her and visa versa. I don't think its a fix I think we are all just very very surprised she won over the golden goddess. I for one of course am glad as I never ever wanted Ashleigh to win. Just my opinions of course

You have made many great posts this BB series and above is yet another.
I agree with all you say.

I also could believe the fake eviction twist was not originally intended to be of any benefit to Helen at all.
After all the then power housemates were not asked to evict 2 of their number,only one,.
Before they were asked to evict a housemate BB had already selected Helen to be the one to go first.

I think, they hoped Helen watching Ashleigh again from another room would have had Helen come back into the house absolutely fuming at her.
It backfired on BB if that was the case and that seems far more logical to me than actually wanting to edit Helen in a good way as to their original plan.
