The public do not like an obvious winner.
They like to shock the housemates They also like an underdog Whilst Ashleigh was the underdog initially the balance shifted when Helen's posse left one by one! The house was made aware of Ashleigh's insane popularity around the same time. All the housemates just thought that Ashleigh winning was a given! The public didn't like that! THE PUBLIC HATE BEING TOLD WHAT TO THINK The Helen protest vote came as yet another 'lets stick it to the producers' Helen was made the underdog, her redemption was her winning storyline and the public voted her the winner because they felt Ashleigh was too obvious

I think Helen won because she was the biggest talking point throughout the series and therefore the public felt more familiar with her than anybody else.

Tbh (and I am a strong Helen fan) you're reading far too much into it. There was 1.2% between Helen and Ashleigh, and that was down to a surge in the Twitter campaign for Helen to win once it got to the final 3. It went for there being a few tweets in Helen's favor every five minutes or so, to her being the only housemate to trend when it was just her, Christopher and Ashleigh left. Ashleigh fans also got too laid back on the final as well, believing they'd done enough to secure Ashleigh winning when they hadn't.

I agree with that to some extent. The outside information leaking into the house shifted things around.
One of many reasons why the housemates should not be made aware of who's popular and who isn't. |

I didn't dislike Helen, I was just supporting both her and Ashleigh. Once it got close to the final I began to dislike some aspects of Ashleigh and decided to just focus on Helen campaigning. What does that have to do with what I said?

Whatever helps you sleep at night
Helen won for being a memorable housemate and thank god people voted differently to the last few years or we would have had another Sam or Luke A on our hands lol. Atleast now with Helen she has a strong chance at staying in the limelight and every article will say "BB WINNER HELEN" which in turn is great promo for the show. Im now routing for her to turn that 100k into a million we haven't had a BB success story since Josie Gibson. |

I hope she embraces it as well and opens up more about her past (which is essentially going to help her as well with making money) and not just thinks she's too good for that and talks about her winning (which will bore people) |

Helen only won because the viewers were tired of the manipulation and made a joke of the series by awarding the prize money to a prozzie.

She won because she got to play the hard done by victim in the final week. She did exactly what she accused Ashleigh of doing... Going to the diary room, balling her eyes out, full of self pity asking "Why is it always me... It's so unfuuur"

Helen won because her fans didn't have to spend any money keeping her in so while the fans of Ashleigh were probably thinking that they had spent way too much keeping Ashleigh in and probably didn't spend as much on the final. Helens fans had all of their voting money to spare.
I think it's kinda funny that a complete asshole won the show. It's sad that she will not learn from the experience and to her, it will justify her actions and will go through life as an absolute bitch. However, I'll never meet her, so well done, Helen.

She was because she was the most deserving, she was this Big Brother.
I also find it ironic how Helen haters call her vile, a bully, asshole, etc.. but they're being the same thing by calling her names, glad Helen won, its rare that the most entertaining HM wins. |

Get over it, Ashliegh lost 'cos she allied herself with the wrong people, the vivacious girl we saw last night was a far cry from the biatch we saw inside the house. If she had demonstrated just 10% of the joi de vie that we saw last night outside of the house then she would have walked it. In the end, as they all do, she reverted to type and withdrew from the group and started to criticise from afar, each time she lost a new 'sniping' pal she replaced them with like kind. Helen is a doer and won because she was herself all the way through. : dance::d ance: |

Helen won for me because she has been at the forefront of the whole series not just bits of it. |

That is a very good point, she was the only one of the finalists who had not been up for eviction before so it does play a part. I also think she played a blinder by telling Ashleigh that she was the winner on the night that they "made up", I think that comment alone spurred on Helen fans, and made Ashleigh fans a bit complacent (maybe), at any rate I didn't vote so I can't complain about the winner : |

I think she partly won partly because Ashleigh fans were smug about her being the bookies favourite, it was a foregone conclusion for them that she was unbeatable so they never voted as hard.
I also think Helen came out of the final week much better than Ashleigh who faded into the background. Helen showed a more vulnerable side and offered an olive branch to Ashleigh. I also think Winston going last week (because of an Ashleigh/Chris fan twitter campaign) left Helen all his support, especially after Ash went.
