Why don't the producers do that again being as it was such a success last year with the house-mate chosen going on to win the show.

No it was awful! Helen would have been long gone if it weren't for that pass and we would have had a less horrible winner. No one should ever get a pass to the final again imo

But Helen Wood was such a popular winner......I heard she's the reason for the ratings being so low this year.

Even though giving someone from this cast wouldn't be anywhere near as catastrophic for the series as Helen's pass was for last year, it was glaringly obvious after about 2 days that the producers had made a terrible mistake in giving a pass to the final in the first place.

No, I disagree, giving Jack (who was never going to be the BB winner) nomination passes was a stupid attempt by BB to mitigate the fix last year......We're all supposed to think that it doesn't always work!

BB can change the rules at any time - if they didn't want her in the final then they could have recinded the pass; in actual fact her behaviour was enough to get any other contestant chucked off the show!

With any luck Jack will probably be asked if he wants to use his pass (likely for someone else). It'll be interesting to see if he agrees to use it as he'll be down to only one!

OK, someone has to say it.....



Helen? Is that you?

back to the question, NO! She'd have been out on her rear in the very early weeks if it had ever been an option. She was bleddy awful.

but Helen was voted winner by the public. whether she had a pass or not, in the end the public still voted her the winner,

The public were brainwashed by clever editing and a totally ridiculous "I've changed" story. She's shown since leaving the house that she's still an odious trollop just like she was at the start of the series when she bullied half the housemates

Success??? It killed the f*&^*ng show. Foghorn Leghorn had nothing to lose and proceeded to sprinkle misery dust over the proceedings at every opportunity. Absolute travesty that she went on to win.
If there's a free pass to the final, I'm packing up my stuff and buggering off home.

And her evil minions could save all their voting pennies till the final week as they didn't have to save her from eviction, like the other finalists.

Exactly. Viewers were so blown away by Helen's awesomeness last year, that they knew it was pointless watching this year, as nothing could top BB15.

i think BB has a plan for Jade, was rewatching early episodes and BB suspiciously trying to make it as Jade show giving her too much airtime since first episode...won't be surprised if history repeat itself this year

Irony doesn't always travel well on here but I see what your doing.
