'Big Brother': Helen Rants At Chris AGAIN After 'Power Of Money' Task Revelation (PICS, VIDEO)

'BB' Housemates At War Over 'Money' Task

With one week to go until the live final of ‘Big Brother’, this is usually the point where the housemates wind down, put their differences aside and start reflecting on the time they’ve spent together in the house… but this year’s lot took a rather different approach, and had one of the most explosive arguments of the series in Thursday night’s highlights show.

It all started when the housemates were told that as part of a task called ‘The Power of Money’, they’d be clubbing together to try and add an extra £25K to the winner’s prize fund - which they agreed they would split eight ways whatever happens.

Mark and Helen are furious

Having only managed to raise £15,500, the group - apart from Ashleigh - were called one by one to the Diary Room, where Big Brother told them they’d been chosen by the public to receive the money themselves - and it was entirely their choice if they wanted to take it or leave it.

What they didn’t realise was that this was a lie, and in fact the real task was to see if Ashleigh would correctly guess which housemates would take the money for themselves, and which would honour the pact they’d already made.

Helen in her default state: angry

Eventually, Big Brother revealed that three housemates had chosen to take the money - Ash, Chris and Mark - with Helen furiously ranting at Chris that he had let the group down by going behind their backs.

Surprisingly, Mark was also furious with Chris, despite the fact that he told Big Brother he’d take the money and use some of it to open a “brow bar”, ranting: “I didn't think everyone would f**king split it. I know I would.”

Christopher fires back

While Chris tried to stick up for himself, it was Christopher who ended up fighting his corner the most, branding the other contestants “vultures” who wouldn’t let Chris get to the end of his sentence to explain himself, leading to yet another furious row with Mark.

Chris, Christopher and Mark are all facing the public vote this week, alongside Pav and Winston, with two of them being booted out during Friday’s live double eviction.

Tune in on Friday, 8 August at 9pm on Channel 5 to see which housemates get the axe.

'Big Brother' Baddies Through The Years
Victor Ebuwa ('BB5')(01 of15)
Open Image Modal
After the relative snooze-fest of 'BB4', producers hoped to spice things up a year later and gave the housemates a taste of 'evil'.Of all the housemates in that year's series, Victor was undoubtedly the biggest baddie of the lot, delivering lengthy takedowns of his fellow contestants in the Diary Room, usually followed by "I've already got the sniffles" or "can we get some more milk please?"

Grace Adams-Short ('BB7')(02 of15)

Every single week the crowds outside the 'BB' house can be heard chanting "get [whichever housemate is least popular that week] out", but Grace was the first contestant the public ever did this for, such was her unpopularity in the outside world thanks to her bitching about her fellow contestants.She'll always be remembered for making 'Big Brother' history when she threw water over Susie during her exit, delivering the parting line "oh shut up, Aisleyne, you moose" (credit:Gareth Cattermole via Getty Images)
Charley Uchea ('BB8')(03 of15)
Open Image Modal
Self-branded 'It Girl' Charley's bragging and argumentative nature - particularly when it came to rival housemate Channelle Hayes - made her extremely disliked by the public, who voted to evict her not once but twice.In fact, the pair's rivalry was so strong that when Channelle tried to make it as a singer and released 'I Want It', Charley released an answer track, 'I Want It More'.

Lee Ryan ('CBB')(04 of15)

Oh, Lee. He went into the 'CBB' house in January 2014 filled with such promise, but ended up being bombarded with death threats on his eviction thanks to his indecisiveness when it came to choosing between Jasmine Waltz and Casey Batchelor. (credit:Danny E. Martindale via Getty Images)
Dexter Koh ('Big Brother: Secrets And Lies')(05 of15)

Like Victor before him, Dexter tried his best to scheme and pit housemates against each other, but he mostly came across as a lonely soul than the millionaire playboy he wanted to portray himself as. (credit:Ben A. Pruchnie via Getty Images)
John McCririck ('CBB')(06 of15)

There are so many ridiculous John McCririck moments, but worst of all was when he threw a real wobbler over some cherry coca cola.We can only imagine what a nightmare he must be to live with. (credit:Gareth Cattermole via Getty Images)
Heidi and Spencer ('CBB')(07 of15)

They may not have exactly been universally adored, but Heidi and Spencer still managed to finish in joint second place when they appeared in 'Celebrity Big Brother', even though their scheming and rows failed to win them many fans among Channel 5 viewers. (credit:Tim P. Whitby via Getty Images)

He may have been easy on the eye, but this Beckham lookalike's almighty moodswings and strops made his time in the 'Big Brother' house difficult viewing. (credit:Neil Mockford via Getty Images)
Coolio ('Ultimate Big Brother')(09 of15)

After just four days in the 'Ultimate Big Brother', Coolio's arguments with 'BB5' winner Nadia Almada - which she and Brian Dowling have claimed included transphobic remarks - led to a mutual agreement between producers and the rapper that he should be ejected from the house.

Makosi Musambasi ('BB6')(10 of15)

Makosi was at the centre of a number of schemes during her time in the 'BB' house, and viewers initially loved the ease with which she could manipulate her fellow housemates. However, her popularity took a nosedive when she revealed that she was worried she might be pregnant after a romp in the pool with Antony Hutton, with the crowds branding her a "liar", booing and heckling throughout her eviction interview.

Her housemates may have started off calling her 'nana', but soon enough they began to see a different side to the former 'Corrie' star... (credit:Ben Pruchnie via Getty Images)
Pete Burns ('CBB')(12 of15)

Acid-tongued Pete Burns got into an argument with pretty much every one of his 'Celebrity Big Brother' housemates during his stint in the show, and shocked viewers when he revealed he owned a fur coat made of gorilla. (credit:Gareth Cattermole via Getty Images)

"I'd swap you for Scrabble, Rachel."Still a classic 'BB' line. (credit:Tom Dulat via Getty Images)
Helen Wood ('Big Brother: 'Power Trip')(14 of15)

She quickly became one of the most unpopular housemates ever after getting into bust-ups with several of her fellow contestants, and was accused by viewers of 'bullying' Jale. Helen returned in 2015 as part of the 'Timebomb' series, but became a figure of hate once again, after bullying BB8 champ Brian Belo. (credit:Channel 5)
Nick 'Nasty Nick' Bateman ('BB1')(15 of15)
Open Image Modal
The original and still the best. Nick's 'live by the sword, die by the sword' attitude to nominations made him a figure of hate among the Great British Public, but by the time he reappeared for 'Ultimate Big Brother' it was clear he'd changed his ways. (credit:Ian Gavan via Getty Images)
