I think the papers are treating them the same as when Helen and Paul came out of the house and look at Helen and Paul now.

Anyone remeber when Paul want to the wrap party with a bag under his arm and the pap's had a field day with why he did saying that he had hopes to be staying the night with Helen and she turned him down etc.

I remember people saying Paul was using Helen. The cynics got that right didn't they?

The main difference is that it was obvious (to me anyway) that what was happening between Paul and Helen was for real

Chantelle and Preston are not ... and he selected a despicable method of dropping a current, long term girlfriend with whom he is living ... nasty

As I noted above, plenty of people thought it wasn't. It's always obvious unless you're someone who wants to believe there's some sort of sinister reasons for the flirting going on in front of your eyes.


Didn't Helen have some bloke called "Big G"?

It was apparent later that Big G was not even a steady boyfriend ....

And their relatship blossomed over weeks and weeks ... they are still together and she is still so obviously still in love with him

What's the betting in 6 months Chantelle will be like "Preston who?"

Wasn't he? I'm pretty sure they were involved in a relationship.


3 weeks... 8 weeks... What does it matter? Lee and Sophie were together for how long in the house? 2 weeks?


I don't know. What was the betting Helen and Paul would be the same? Or Lee and Sophie. If it's right it's right. Some people can know that within a week of knowing each other.

Personally, I'd be surprised if they did end up together, or it lasting very long if they did. But the attraction was always real enough imo.

Excellent chance :since it was but 2 out of the 3 weeks..the 1st he spent wittering about GF and on at Maggot about who the so called pop singer was he reckoned she was a phony.

I have no idea why half the country is so obsessed about the 2 of them getitng together.They seem most incompatilbe ot me, long term.

I don't know what the future holds for them, but I'm certain they had a genuine attraction for each other inside the house. If they think it's worth going for, they will need to be very careful how they manage the press. For all the cynicism in the press about Helen and Paul, they turned down a lot of money to let things develop as naturally as possible.

I agree. *nods*

I remember this one time when I was watching it live on E4, they were both sitting in the kitchen, and Chantelle wanted to change or have a shower or something. Preston was watching her the whole time as she got up and went into the bedroom towards her bed, then he shook his head and looked away. It was so cute. And to me, it seemed pretty obvious that Chantelle fancied Preston.

I'm obsessed with them! It's terrible, lol!

I agree too, there were times when watching them look at each other sent shivers down my spine........I was like that with Helen & Paul too.

i think the thing is that you spend such a long time together in the house .... it is very intense.... and so relationships develop quickly
