Is Ashleigh overrated?

[Benji_]

Don't get me wrong I love Ashleigh, but is she really the favourite and most entertaining housemate. She is quite dull, I loved her around week 5 but now she seems to have lost the spark and especially how she associated herself with Helen as soon as the opportunity came up!:shrug::shrug: So in my opinion she is quite overrated and I don't think she should win, but then i guess there is not much to offer considering the best housemate (Toya and Matthew) have gone.

[joeysteele]

yes, extremely so in my opinion.

[Macie Lightfoot]

She's good but not great. Nobody this series is great (Toya and Matthew being the best is laughable if I'm being honest.) It's just a really tepid series with an uninspiring group of HMs. Ashleigh will probably rocket her way to third place like Alex and Deana and Gina before her but it'd be insulting to put her in the same group as Deana and Gina (and possibly even Alex)

[Denver]

Massivley if she was on a previous series the public would hate her

[bbfan1991]

No. I find her really interesting, she is flawed, strong, feisty and opinionated.

She has had her funny moments, she has many sides to her personality like which people have in their own personalities in general.

[SocietyIsRuined]

Wouldn't even be noticed in a good series of the show. Luckily for her she was put in one of the worst series of all time.

[MojoNixon]

Used to hate her, but she is getting better. Still little overrated i think.

[Black Dagger]

Hehe at the fact I made this same thread about a month ago, glad people are picking up on it. She has been a bang average housemate all series tbh. Nothing special that makes her a top tier female housemate.

[rubymoo]

I honestly don't think she'd be missed if she went. (Prepare for the Ashleigh supporters....tin hat....check! Shield.......check!):)

[reece(:]

She's overrated but is the best one in there.

[bbfan1991]

I honestly don't think she'd be missed if she went. (Prepare for the Ashleigh supporters....tin hat....check! Shield.......check!):)

The horror at being left with Helen and her cronies being cringey.

[MojoNixon]

The horror at being left with Helen and her cronies being cringey.

Well said.

[Mystic Mock]

Yes, I like Ashleigh but by the way some people go on you would think that she's one of the top 5 Housemates ever and I don't think she is personally.

[rubymoo]

:laugh: I wonder if she feels like the only normal one in there:hehe:

[Achilles]

Underrated more like.

[LukeB]

its about time a girl wins bb on c5 so no she isnt

[karezza]

She is a worse housemate than Sam Evans and he is the worst housemate of all time.

[smudgie]

She is very manipulative, but not clever enough to hide it.

Was my favourite for a while, but too much of a nasty little brat side to her again now.

One of the ones I don't want to win.

[GypsyGoth]

No. I find her really interesting, she is flawed, strong, feisty and opinionated.

Sums up how I feel perfectly.

[Denver]

I feel she is well liked because people are scared to like helen and ashliegh is simalar

[Jordan.]

no but she's peaked

[LukeB]

I feel she is well liked because people are scared to like helen and ashliegh is simalar

why would anyone be scared to like helen? she is a bully, bullies are vile and scum.

[Northern Monkey]

Best of a bad bunch tbh.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Absolutely 100%

[rubymoo]

no but she's peaked

I agree, she has peaked:sleep:

[Denver]

why would anyone be scared to like helen? she is a bully, bullies are vile and scum.

Helen isnt a bully yes she been out of order but she learnt from her mistake she did kinda bully jale but i saw that as her following pauline

[Benji_]

She's topping the polls with over 50% on some websites and I like her but the housemates this year really aren't that great if Ashleigh is the fave:(

[Miranda123]

Yes, I like Ashleigh but by the way some people go on you would think that she's one of the top 5 Housemates ever and I don't think she is personally.

I think the group of Helen, Ash and Winston is the strongest in the house and the funniest, they are actually still having fun while everyone else is conniving

I would love them to be the final 3 but cant see it happening which is a shame!

[LukeB]

Helen isnt a bully yes she been out of order but she learnt from her mistake she did kinda bully jale but i saw that as her following pauline

:laugh3: omg!

1.she got a former warning
2.loads of complaints for helen bullying

[LukeB]

because no one likes a bully like helen

[MojoNixon]

Helen isnt a bully yes she been out of order but she learnt from her mistake

??? When?

[bbfan1991]

Ashleigh has really had an impact, she's marmite and hasn't sat on the fence. She's contributed a lot to the series from what i've seen or read (didn't see a few weeks).

[Sophiee]

no, she's the best of a bad bunch who deserves the support.

[M X]

No. I think she's a great housemate.

[CertifiedPoster]

Used to really like her but lately she's been p!$$!ng me off. Boring, bitchy and sucking up to Helen too much. Hopefully she gets better from now on but I doubt it.

It's been a really poor series tbh

[Brother Leon]

Incredibly. But I think people were just desperate for someone to support from the Anti Helen group I suppose.

[Robodog]

I quite like her but she is made out to be more than she actually is

Example - people say she 'stood up to Helen'. She didn't really. She bitched about Helen for weeks with Danielle behind Helen's back. But when Helen confronted Ashleigh in the garden, Ashleigh just kinda rolled her eyes and melted into silence.

She's an ok enough girl but she is no way 'the most interesting' as voted last week, no way.

Did you actually expect her to get in a screaming match with Helen? If you bring yourself down to Helen's level, you lose. Instead Ashleigh launched a calculated attack against her partner in crime and didn't stoop down to Helen's level when she started screaming in her face, so she deserves credit for that.

[Shaun]

just an OK/'good' housemate in a terrible lineup, really

I'd go so far as to say that Maisy from BB12 would've been equally appreciated in this lineup

[Cold Sweat]

Underrated and underused.

What was her role in the shopping task this week, exactly – other than reading out the result? Maybe they showed something of her but I blinked…

No push for Ashleigh from BB imo.

[erinp5]

No ,she is one of the two females left in the house but the only one who has faced the public vote and survived .
Helen has had a free pass ,nomination free every week, never faced the public vote and could always nominate but never be nominated .
Well done Ashleigh ..all done on your own merit.

You should watch the uploads and not just watch the edited highlights.

The 2 people doing all the talking there are Helen and Ashleigh. Helen was backed by her hounds Kimberly and Jale, who very quickly melted into silence, as you put it. Danielle, Ashleigh's "friend" said F all. The rest of housemates stood around doing F all.
Ashleigh stood up to Helen even when Helen has her hounds with her.
Ashleigh would slay Helen 1v1 and that's why Helen never said anything to Ashleigh before then. "She's only 18 was the excuse she used"

No i never said or expected her to have a screaming match with Helen, i was just responding to the fact that many many people say Ashleigh 'stood up to Helen' when she didn't. She never screamed back at her but neither did she talk to Helen calmly or directly - just bitched about Helen for weeks with Danielle.

But you are right - she did launch a calculated attack against Helen and she did it by the back door - but that's not 'standing up to Helen' which is what many people on forums, BOTS etc keep saying Ashleigh did.

[Robodog]

I do like Ashleigh though, don't get me wrong

Yeah but the only thing is that trying to talk to Helen calmly and directly assumes many things (that many other HMs have problems with her behavior, that she's rational, that she's able to take constructive criticism and change her behavior accordingly, etc.) which are all untrue. There's really no way to stand up to Helen without compromising your social standing in the house. Her pass to the give made her the center of power and the only girls she's interested in are ones who are willing to be her beta or lick her ass (Jale and Kimberly winded up succumbing to this.)

[Dollface]

Matthew went way too soon! He was my winner tbh :(
But out of the housemates that remain, Ashleigh is one of my favourites, mostly due to her love for animals (i read that she is a fundraiser for animal charities) & I feel that she would use the prize money wisely. Although she has her bitchy moments, i think deep down she is a really kind girl. & IMO she's been interesting to watch, and funny.

Yes she is.

[VanessaFeltz.]

She is great but people are started to over-rate her.

[the truth]

over rated....smart for her age, not enetrtaining or funny, not very likeable ,but pretty unpleasant most of the time

[waterhog]

a delightful young lady.

[bots]

Yes, she is over rated, she has been basking in her role in girl power week ever since it happened. Since then she has been nearly as boring as Winston. From an entertainment perspective, Chris and Mark win hands down for consistency through the series for me, but I dislike them both :shrug:
