Fake emotions.
Fake tears.
Fake words of praise, encouragement, and support.
Fake loyalty. And fake knowledge about Big Brother.
Was anything about Helen real?
Yes. She had a very real conviction that she and a few chosen others are Good People, and, as such, They were entitled to be in the Big Brother house. She also embraced the delusion that America was cheering for Her to lead Them to victory over the Bad People, a fallacy that she spouted ad nauseam whenever she felt the occasion seemed to warrant it, which was pretty much whenever she was in danger of not getting her way.
Helen's other very real conviction was that it was Not Fair for evicted houseguests to be allowed to return to the game...until Julie gave her the happy news that she was going to be allowed to compete for a spot back in the Big Brother house.
Her disposable convictions regarding fair play conveniently forgotten, the giddy, jumping up and down version of Helen was fifth to fall off her perch, eliminating her from the Big Brother game, permanently.
Good Riddance.
