It's pretty deep and scarey really, because we are all vulnerable to this, without being aware.

Believe me, I could pick up many of the things that Big Brother did to enhance Helen, to create a perception that would tweat the publics emotions.

Now I find out she's somehow connected to the owner of Channel 5, it makes perfect sense.

Oh dear, are you saying that the voting was rigged for the final but not when Winston was mysteriously evicted?

You are dealing with random Maths, if the voting wasn't rigged then how could they ever know that she- Helen - {their woman} was going to end up victorious?

I'd rather think that the British public aren't as gullible as these TV producers would like to think we are and could see through the editing, could also see that for Helen to be arguing in such a manner that there were large chunks of footage edited out.

She was always the most real housemate and told it as it was, all of the time. If she did her bitching it was more of a response rather than in a corner somewhere or in a diary room trying to fool the public. I do think there was a change in her and a genuine one at that. Not in her personality but how she reacted to people pressing her buttons all of the time. Christ, there were some odious people in that house, Toya, Mathew ( a hater of fellow human beings) Chris, { as sly as they come and a real agitator but did it in such an innocuous way that it was passed off as something else} Ashliegh was the most niave fool in there and of course at 18, you cannot really pass too a harsh judgement on her, she really did reach out to all the wrong people. In short, she threw £100k away, as I have said previously if she had demonstrated just 5% of the joi de vie that we witnessed when she left the house, inside, she would have had a landslide victory.

She was used by others and allowed herself to be drawn in by the 'haters' the 'oxygen thieves' of life to a world of bitter finger pointing and tongue wagging.

I just hope the latter has learnt a very important lesson in life, to stand on her own two feet and take the centre ground and not to recede into the murky shadows where the ne'er do wells lurk.
