I think she is really cool, after the show last night, and she will make it far. :)

Yeah, I agree. I liked her from her bio and a swimmer will do well in that environment. Like Jan, I would have chosen her first or second after Stephanie.

I was a little worried that on last nights show she was the only one who did not vote for John (She voted for Clay). She may not be "in" with the rest of the tribe.

Yeah, I thought that too. But I am hoping it was a "pity" vote (although it didn't sound like it-she was pretty specific about why she voted for Clay).

It does seem like she isn't in the alliance. Helen, John, and Tanya spent more time together looking for water, and she and John may have bonded. The other group had that time swimming (which would be a shared experience to bring them closer) to talk.

Two things against her right from the start. She voted against Clay because he didn't need the money as much as the rest of them do? Who says so and why does that matter? Also, in the previews she said something about pulling out a pistol and shooting Jan? What was that all about? Phooey, I was ready to like her, too.

Wow! I didn't see the previews (putting kids to bed) but have it on tape. I'll have to watch that!

That is a pretty harsh statement for this early in the game (never appropriate but maybe more understandable as frustration builds). :(

I was going to suggest that being in the military might lead one to think more in terms of settling things with weapons, but realize this is a really unfair generalization..... lots of military people would never think that way and lots of nonmilitary people would. If she really is thinking that way, she probably won't last long in this tribe.

Aware, yes I agree and I did not see that either. I was hoping she was one to root for. Voting someone off for not needing the money happened with Carl in Africa too. Those who are well heeled should keep their mouths shut. He could have said he was a cook, not restaurant owner. Little details like this are important. Always someone around wanting to make this about money.

The gossip says that Ghandia is also mad at Clay...so I think there is something going on we have not seen. I think he was edited to appear very sweet and funny, but I am wondering if there is something we have not been shown yet to provoke that kind of response.

That makes sense. I think it gets easier to have some reason to vote someone out, the first is the hardest and that is not a particularly controversial thing to say. Better than, I don't like this guy.

I believe that the comment Helen made about the shooting Jan and then herself was related to the fact that the two of them apparently got lost while out in the canoe for some reason (like going to get water maybe).

I agree with Myjohn, I thought she was implying that they both wanted to die. If she was being mean to Helen I think she would have just said she wanted to shoot Helen period. Time will tell, that is why Survivor is so hard to predict, unlike BB, we only get to see what they want us to see. Imagine only knowing BB from the tv show, it's almost a whole different game

She actually said that if she had a gun she would have shot Jan first and then shot herself. They were lost, she meant she would have put them both out of their misery.

My gut reaction after watching the show, is that I'm not going to like her very much. I didn't like her reasoning for voting out Clay, and I have a feeling that she will be mean to Jan next week.

I like this woman so far. Just saw the promo for tonight and it shows Helen talking about shooting Jan first then herself. "That is why I don't carry a gun". Her sense of humor is very dry and this was hysterical. It was in reference to what a hard time they were having and did not think they would make it back. Shooting them to save them the agony of a long slow death. :)

Fruit, I liked her too! I hope she lasts a while.

Helen looked awesome in the water tonight. Like she's a water creature rather than a land dweller. When shse dove to get the clip off the puzzle piece it was a beautiful think to watch.

And dammit, looks like another strong woman getting picked on. She's mentally focused and physically prepared to SURVIVE and they have a problem with her.

It seems just like BB some of the contestants already don't get the game. You need strong in separate tribes so you can win immunity. You can ditch them later when immunity becomes individual. Sheesh

Hold it, hold it. I am starting to catch on.
Helen = Nelah spelled backwards---this is Neleh recycled! She has dyed her hair and put on a few pounds, but hey, I recognized her anyway. She looks pretty good, too.
Haha, just kidding.
I really do like Helen, she's tough and no nonsense. I think she would be a good leader, but doesn't dare show her abilities too early. You all know how that is.

I dont like Helen..she is really arrogant..and idk..there is just something I dont like about this lady.

She's not really one of my favs either Bmh. Something rubs me wrong too. But, I think she makes it pretty far too. At least until a merge.

Helen has a big spoon and she likes to stir the pot, Bmh. That's what I don't like about her.

If she "stirred the pot" in real life, I wouldn't like that about her. But she basically admitted in the confessional that the reason she stirred the pot was that she was playing Survivor.

If she had not told Brian about Ghandia's confession, then maybe Jan would have instead, and Brian would then trust Jan more than Helen. As it is, Helen is in a better position in the game now since until this week she seemed to be the one most out of the loop in her tribe -- but this week it looks like she and Brian are in the driver's seats.

It didn't bother me that she told Brian about the Ted/Gh thingy. There was obviously something in the air with Ghandia stomping around. And the team should know what was going on. It also didn't bother me that Brian wanted to get both sides before forming an opinion and took Ted aside to talk about it. It DID bother me though that Helen went running back to Ghandia with that high-school, he-said, she-said gossip afterwards. There was no reason for that and then to look surprised when Ghandia flipped out? Why else would she have told her then to get a reaction? I thought that was fairly sophomoric of Helen to do.

Helen should have taken a page out of Brians' book and waited until she had heard both sides of the story before she went to Brian. She would have looked better if she had gone straight to Ted. Doing this behind his back and only taking Ghandia's word for it does not make her look good in my eyes.

It may be a question of editing - so it's hard to really get a feel for what's really going on - that's what made us BB fanatics so riveted - with 24 hour coverage you got a feel for the real deal: having said that, Helen comes across as a fairly judgemental individual who can't seem to keep her opinions to herself- strategy maybe- but if it is IMHO it's a bad one. I don't think she has bonded with any of the tribe and if she survives the meld her approach will stick out like a sore thumb with her new tribe members. Marching up to Brian and simply announcing that "the three of us are going to vote him out" is a pretty in your face approach which if I were in his position would rub me the wrong way.
