Apparently because of Helen.

I was looking forward to seeing Jasmine and Cristian hook up at the final and on BBBOTS.

Reading Jasmine's Tweets, it seems Helen threw a spanner in the works and none of the Hotel guests and Legends were allowed to go.

Thank God. Hate all these nobodies who think they're something.

I think it was a wise decision TBH.

There is a lot of animosity and TBH - they did sort of commandeer the show. Tonight really was about the HM's - even the 'four ins' didn't seem to get much of a look in.

True, it's a shame they can't behave like adults and just sit quietly for a couple of hours though.

Helen is in the dog house ( excuse the pun) because of her remarks about Brian Belo
...I don't think we will be seeing much of her on BBOTS from now on

Good

Seeing them tonight just reminded me of how dull the first half of the series was. inflated opinions of their worth in this series. Its unfair how they left but they were dull to the extreme.

With all the tensions between certain hems it probably for the netter that many didn't attend but you can't lay the blame solely at Helens feet many of them have been at each other even some of the civilian housemates ie jade and harry etc that after party would be like ww3. I don't think its entirely about Helen otherwise they'd refuse her alone, its so the bores have there time.

Still those that aren't attending have added more to this series than many of the bores that were on the show tonight.

Talk about a flats and shambolic finale.

Boring series, Boring final, boring finalists, boring winner its all in sync!

agree tonight was about this years BB house mates - the show was already ruined due to the introduction of previous ex's we didn't need them there again tonight trying to hog as much AT as they could - glad they weren't there

The show doesn't attract 'normal' conducting folk.

Very true.

Jasmine, ais, jade, harry, Helen, Nikki, Brian they've all been at it!!!

The reason they aren't there is not there is because of there public berating of one another, Helen is one of many.

I'd assume they're all at fault that's why Helen hasn't been barred solely from the rap party.

But Helen was on BOTS the other day. I can't remember exactly when, but it was just a few days ago and definitely after her remarks about Brian.

I think it's more likely to be because of the recent stuff between Helen and Aisleyne.

Good.

At least Cristian is safe from Jasmine's clutches for the night.

Well they have all had their time in the limelight

The finale was about the HM's and I think a decision was made not to include them is because of time. And because they are paid guests on the show. Helen's insulting of everyone on twitter and her column accusations hasn't helped either, putting the show into disrepute. I don't think the legends were that bothered to be honest, Brian clearly wasn't attending, Nikki is out partying with Josie (picture posted on twitter).

Oh my! That Helen does have some clout with the Powers That Be, doesn't she. Able to dictate who can and cannot attend the show, how on earth does she manage that

At least they learnt from the series and let the final alone instead of hijacking it

H***n deserves the dog house if she is really in one.

There are people who are honest, and then there are liars like H***n who simply use the word honest to hide their foul mouths and inherent nastiness.

But it's not about including them as part of BOTS; it's about whether they could be there. Many of the bb16 HMs didn't have any substantial part on BOTS or the final beyond being there, and it could have been the same (or less) for any 'legends' or hotel guests.

Nikki attended the In The Style Now Magazine party last night so obviously wasn't required for finale. In any case it should be about the HM's it is there time to shine!

None of the guests or 'legends' attended the party at the studio but you can bet some of them met up later!

Jasmine just wants to leech Cristian for the exposure, I think he is better off away from that!

Who are you thinking of there? Jasmine and Cristian?

But Nikki did insinuate she was going to the final in a Tweet on 6th July.

She probably has several events to choose from to attend on occasion.

I think they were probably all down for the final initially...but producers likely thought it would end up so out of control that they cancelled everyone (rather than wanting to appear to play favourites).

The Helen/Aisleyne feud really escalated, I doubt Brian would have gone if Helen was there..plus with all the accusations around Danny, I could see some potentially risky stuff being shouted out.

It would have been a nightmare for producers..especially on an almost live show.

It would have been awful. So much bad blood, so many words said that can't be unsaid and so many different feuds going on with at the same time.
