Why was Helen's diary room warning on two shows?

Helen's warning in the diary room was shown on last night's show.
Yet on tonight's show it was shown again. Only this time it showed Helen telling other housemates about it as if it happened on the same day that tonight's show was showing.

So what on earth is going on with the timeline here?

Was Helen telling the other housemates about her warning really from yesterday's events, or from two days before?

And why was the warning shown on two HL shows on consecutive nights?

    Someone said that there is some sort of requirement for formal warnings to shown on the night they are given out

    I think it was on yesterday's show to show the natural end to the argument.

    It was on today's show because that is where it fits chronologically and also it tied in with what was going on in today's show (ie re Helen and Matthew)

    I thought that but then thought I must have seen it on BOTS last night as an exclusive. So it was on last nights show, thanks for clearing that up, I thought I was going mad!!

    But even so, when Helen came out of the diary room and we saw a scene where she told her mates what happened, isn't tonight's show supposed to be showing us events from the previous day?
    It would have to mean that they are including highlights on the HL show which are not from the previous day but from two days ago.
    They could be clips from about four or five days ago for all we know.

    I know it's stupid. Why show us twice for? It could be that they don't want us to hate Helen that much so they showed us Helen getting warned in the same episode that she was so horrible so you could see she was slightly apologetic. I think Big brother must be embarrassed Helen is safe to the final. They should definately strip Her from that privilege.

    I think they needed to feel to show that they given her the warning ASAP to avoid more Helen uproar.

    Yes it was. I only know so because I don't watch BOTS any more.:D

    The thing is though is that it's two things. Not just the warning itself, but showing a scene which couldn't have possibly happened yesterday. That scene in the garden where housemates were asking her what happened must have been from at least two days ago.

    So is it fine now for BB to show scenes which happened several days ago and present them to us on the HL show as if they had just happened the day before?
    They could grab a clip from a week ago and edit into a HL show to make it appear as if it happened the day before.
    I understand that they occasionally use flashbacks, but they make that obvious to us and the scene is usually in black and white.

    I thought I read that it had to be shown on the relevant night (relevant to the events to which it pertained) to legally satisfy Ofcom, or some such thing, and then they showed it again today because it was part of that day's events/highlights (if you can call it a highlight lol).

    I think they must have edited it to last night's highlight show. She.must have given her the warning yesterday morning after the argument the night before.

    It was no use giving her the warning on that night Helen was not in a fit state to pie eyed to take on board the seriousness of her vile behaviour.

    Also the producers needed to watch the footage again and then discuss what action to take.

    I think they made a huge mistake they should have made her leave then with no formal warning.
