The search for Craig Strickland continues. Over the weekend, his wife Helen Strickland took to Instagram with updates on the ongoing efforts to locate the 29-year-old country star. "We are so thankful for the 4 State Search and Rescue team who have volunteered their services to help the Oklahoma State Police," Helen wrote in part on Saturday, nearly a week since he was reported missing on Dec. 27. She added, "We are also blessed to have the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, McLean County Ema (Il) and the Cottleville Fire Dept (Mo) working as one combined effort. They have all brought with them so...

Big Brother's 'legendary' housemates Helen Wood and Nikki Grahame haven't seen eye to eye much recently - and yesterday their relationship deteriorated even further.
Nikki spent the night before in a separate room after freaking out during the housemates' food fight, with Helen telling Marc O'Neill: "She had a panic attack."
When Nikki returned to the house, no-one reacted at first, although Brian Belo and Simon Gross eventually welcomed her back.
However, Helen went to the Diary Room to complain about Nikki, saying: "She's so full of s**t. You knew we were breaking a rule and you knew we'd be punished for it. You wanted to get out of it."
While Helen was chatting about Nikki, Nikki was chatting about Helen as she asked Nick Henderson if her rival had said anything about her.
"She was just saying you were doing it for the press," Nick replied, prompting...

The Big Brother house was firmly split into two sides in the aftermath of Jade Lynch's eviction, with Helen Wood not holding back her thoughts.
Cristian Mjc has already been nominated for next Friday (June 26), and Marc O'Neill is immune as a Time Warp housemate.
A few arguments emerged - mostly involving Helen, Marc, Cristian and Brian Belo - but things had died down by the time the half-hour live feed began from 11.30pm.
"[Marc's] not alright, but he will be," Helen commented to Simon Gross. "He's not going next week again. He's going to struggle here. It's a place for him with the right people, but he can't deal this with ease."
Helen and Simon then tried to predict who Cristian will nominate.
"He will only nominate someone who [Marc] hangs around with," stated Simon. "I'm certainly not going to suck up to anyone. No way."
"No, because the public will be watching,...

Helen Wood was named the winner in tonight's live Big Brother 2014 final, as Ashleigh Coyle came runner-up.
Emma Willis revealed that only 1.2% of votes separated Ashleigh and Helen, who made up the first ever all-female final two. Pav (sixth), Chris (fifth), Ash (fourth) and Christopher (third) left the house earlier on this evening (August 15).
Speaking to Emma after her eviction, Ashleigh said about Helen: "I'm so proud of her. I genuinely thought [the winner] was going to be Helen. She's done so well for herself.
"I think our differences were so big. I think they just clashed straight away."
She said that they were both "very determined and very strong minded".
"I'm over the moon for her. I'm really, really glad that we sorted it out a few nights ago.
"I know in the outside world we would get on."
Speaking about Chris, Ashleigh said: "I'm so glad he was there,...

Big Brother housemates Ashleigh Coyle and Helen Wood are still at odds after yet more drama in the compound.
Earlier this week, Helen and Chris Wright moved into a secret room where they could listen to their fellow housemates, but Helen was unhappy with what she overheard yesterday (August 12).
During a conversation with Christopher Hall, Ashleigh described Helen as "f**king nasty" - mentioning the moment earlier this series when Helen called Jale Karaturp a slug - and added that she has no respect for her.
Meanwhile, Christopher admitted that he is annoyed by Helen's "power" and suggested that Ashleigh was the only person who didn't obey her.
Chris, who admitted that he didn't like listening to the housemates' conversations and suggested that Helen would go off like a firework, later told Helen that he was choosing not to pay attention to the conversations. However, Helen admitted that she...

Big Brother housemate Helen Wood delivered an expletive-filled rant in the Diary Room yesterday (August 10) following a contentious task.
Helen was found guilty in the court task of causing the divide in the house after she faced off against Ashleigh Coyle.
However, the verdict did not sit well with Helen, who paid a visit to the Diary Room to make her feelings known.
"I'm fed up of being made out to be the only bitch in the house," she complained. "How the f**k have I made a divide in the house?
"The only reason why I get mad is because I'm sick of granny-fied, boring bastards sitting in corners all over the house slagging everyone off. I'm f**king so pissed off that I constantly get slagged off for doing things in this house and she gets away with f**king murder."
Helen continued: "She's so much more rude than me,...

Housemates have been dealing with the punishments set after Helen Wood, Ash Harrison and Winston Showan broke out of the garden.
In tonight's show (August 9), we see Big Brother gathering housemates on the sofas early in the morning before dishing out punishments. They are told that the bedroom will remain locked, there will be no hot water and all but basic rations have been removed from the kitchen until further notice.
While listening to their fate, Ash, Helen and Winston can be seen laughing, which leaves Ashleigh less than impressed that the rest of the house haven't received an apology from the others.
She then asks Helen to apologise, which Helen refuses to do on command and says she will in her own time. Helen then accuses the rest of the house for playing into Big Brother's hands, as she claims that Big Brother wants them to be annoyed with her,...

Big Brother's Helen Wood admitted that she was unsure if Ash Harrison liked her, before the two were caught playing underneath their bed covers.
Helen had insisted to Zoe Birkett that Ash wasn't interested in her romantically, but Zoe said that Ash told her he didn't know how Helen felt.
Helen later chatted to Ashleigh about Ash and suggested that she may have "pissed him off" as Ash had "gone a bit more distant with me... even after we kiss, things have changed".
When Ashleigh told Helen that Ash had stronger feelings than her, Helen said that she and Ash were "chalk and cheese... I'd rather punch myself in my nose than explain how I feel in this house".
However, Helen did admit to liking Ash, but worried that Ash would simply walk away and say "see you later" when the series ends.
Later on in the bedroom, Helen...

Big Brother's Power Alliance has disbanded and Ashleigh Coyle has gone from Power Housemate to eviction nominee in the latest twist.
Previously, Ashleigh picked Chris Wright and Mark Byron to join her as a Power Trio, and they nominated Ash Harrison and Steven Goode for eviction, later adding Pavandeep Paul after hearing advice from their former housemates.
They then added Zoe Birkett into the mix, with Chris telling Mark that her popularity with the public means that she will be safe.
Ashleigh told Iris in the control room that she enjoyed being part of the Power Alliance because it was "fun", and when prompted revealed that Zoe was their fourth and final nomination.
She explained that her loyal friendship with Christopher Hall meant that they couldn't choose him, while Winston Showan was one of the only people who defended her during her issues with Helen Wood.

The female Big Brother housemates seem divided ahead of their big decision.
There is a 'Girl Power' theme in the house this week, meaning that the women are safe from eviction but will have to decide which of the male housemates to save.
However, the women seem split ahead of tonight's big decision, as yesterday Danielle McMahon and Ashleigh Coyle continued to share their dislike of Helen Wood.
Danielle complained that Helen's "bum's always hanging out", while Ashleigh said: "I don't even look in that direction anymore... I've seen her bum more than I've seen my own."
Meanwhile, Helen, Kimberly Kisselovich and Jale Karaturp were unhappy with Ashleigh and Danielle.
"People don't want to make an effort with anyone anymore," Jale complained. "And when I say people, two girls don't want to make an effort with anyone anymore."
Helen added that Ashleigh and Danielle were making their decision "very...

Tensions continued to rise between Big Brother housemates Danielle McMahon and Helen Wood yesterday.
The mood was low right from the minute housemates awoke, as Danielle admitted in the Diary Room that she felt "emotionally and mentally exhausted".
"There's so many vindictive people in here," she said. "I just feel like a caged bird.
"[Helen] has serious issues... has a personal problem with me, whatever that is. Such a rude, vile girl.. she's just horrible, just horrid. She is quite honestly the nastiest person I've ever met in my life."
Helen also faced criticism from Toya Washington - who criticised her "snide comments" and said she'd seen "absolutely disgusting" behaviour from her , while Jale Karaturp mused: "I'm getting annoyed with myself for giving Helen a chance up until a couple of days ago."
"She can't be that unbalanced, otherwise she wouldn't be in here."
