Plus, Chris said in the DR vids today and has said before that he thinks Ashleigh is "amazing"... It just doesn't match with what we're seeing in the highlights. I reckon she engages with people a lot more than what we see, and that when she does she might actually have a smile on her face

She has had a bad edit a few nights in a row if that's the case Jessica. I doubt very much if the editing staff would be that cruel to show someone in a bad light bitching all the time unless a good percentage of the day has been just the two girls on their own. Now that I think of it, unless there is a task those two girls don't sit with anyone and even if they do they are still talking away snidely to each other. I am so so disappointed in Ashleigh

Chris has been praised on here for his insightful observations of the housemates.

Are you saying that he must be "right" because he's usually insightful?

When she entered the house she looked so beautiful and I thought she would be a good housemate and have girly time with the other girls. She has turned into a bitter girl with a constant miserable look on her face. She is doing herself no favours isolating herself like that. Kim was very close to her and Danielle and even before Kim started gravitating towards the cool gang Ashleigh headed under Toyas wing and started bitching about the girl who had been friendly with her as did Danielle.

Danielle is no saint either and tonights episode didn't show any of them in a good light. The worst part was when Kim went up to join them and tried to encourage them to go down and see what Mark was up to and none of them would. I know they cant stand Helen but Helen wasn't even in the garden at the time. Ashleigh and Danielle have both sealed their fate in the house. I have never been so disappointed in a housemate as I have in Ashleigh. She doesn't like THESE PEOPLE. If she watched BB before she will realise that all the housemates can be crass, dirty, bitchy, and different in many ways. I wish she would just go home now. Im done with her

I'm hoping people remember Chris's positive comment about Ashleigh and to also point out that the majority opinion on here is that Chris's observations on the housemates are spot on.

I know some of Toya's fans have gravitated towards her but I don't think that people who were neutral on how they felt about her have good feelings about her anymore.

I hate it when people cry and say they wanna leave but don't. You know where the door is bitch leave if it's so bad then. She's so miserable she's not fun at all. She's just a spiteful bitch and all she's done is set herself up to be evicted next week. Everyone is gonna turn on her no matter what happens because everyone in the house sees right thru her.

i like the fact she has prinicples and is willing to stand by them. rather than suck up, she does what she has to do as she lives with them but she doesn't like them and good on her for knowing scum when she see's it
but saying that she should try and be happy. and not let them make her miserable like it.

its a shame the whale jale hasn't got any dececy to do the same. instead she'd arther slag her of or shall i say slug her of with her new bully best mates.

whats interesting is not one person is taking the time to help ashleigh except danielle and shes no good.
you'd think someone would make a effort to befriend her.

Danielle will, from time to time go to Kim and they might have a chat or exercise together but Ashleigh never does. I think Toya had a bit to do with Ashleighs change of character cos she had been so close to Kim as well as Danielle in the first week or two. So disappointing

The motivation of the five with the power is very telling.

Kim, Helen and Jale are all trying to save people out of friendship and loyalty. Ashleigh & Dani are trying to do it out of spite, just to get rid of Ash.

You could also argue Kim, Helen and Jale are being selfish wanting to immediately save their friends, and not asking themselves as a collective with Ashleigh and Danielle 'Who deserves to stay?'. Helen did this briefly, but only voiced the positives of her friends.
