Ash on balance has been my favourite housemate, just not done enough to be the "winner" really. He reminds me a LOT of a guy a shared a house with for 3 years at Uni.

I think it's a shame that he didn't get to know everyone equally because of the "divide" and his strong friendship with Helen. To his credit, he seems to get on with everyone and everyone seems to like him (even Ashleigh, who really only took against him to get at Helen, because of Helen's immunity), and he's always been quick to say that he likes other housemates even when his friends have been saying otherwise... he doesn't play "follow the leader"... BUT I do think he's kept his distance from (or been kept at a distance by) some of the others because of "association". Which is a shame.

I disagree that he hasn't brought anything to the show, he's actually brought a sort of balance and down-to-earth fairness to the show, I think it would have been a complete mad-house without him and not in a good way. He's really come into his own in the last couple of weeks, IMO.

He is also one of the only hm's to have made some genuine friendships in there that I can see lasting when out of the house.

Some might describe him as boring and that's fair enough but I don't see it as that, he is what I have always liked in housemates during older BB's, my favourite BB is actually BB3 and that had a couple of hm's with the same laid back type of character as him, most seem to be under the impression that hm's need to be loud, upfront, in your face to be good hm's well I disagree with that, they get very annoying very fast and end up out the door ASASP (Toya, Pauline)

So yeah I don't think he is boring at all, I find him funny, nice, laid back and a pretty decent guy, he made a couple of mistakes with comments to Jale but he apologised about those and explained he meant no malice with them (Apart from the Maggot comment, he was a dick with that and I posted that on here but we all make mistakes), I find most of his hate to come from his association with Helen which is pretty unfair, we have seen him trying to shut her up a few times but failing and he mentioned the other night he is constantly trying to stop her from going off on one, oh and he also gets a lot of hate for being a model, funny that it's always females hating females that gets brought up but not the fact that guys hate 'nice looking' guys on BB. :hehe:

He has no chance in winning but he definitely deserves his place in the final IMO.

I disagree with one point, I think he has a chance of winning if Helen doesnt get the top spot, if she goes out before the final 2, then all helen fans will vote Ash to win!

He hid behind Helens apron strings and others were afraid to challenge him. He was to content to let things go over him. The only good thing about him is his looks.....

If your name is Ash and you sit in the garden avoiding the **** that's going down and being quiet, he is labled boring, but if you are called Ashleigh doing the same thing but on the bed, you are called hero and nice girl, go figure.

Would you care to elaborate on that?

I think calling Toya a prick and Jale a 'maggot' etc screams out and him not even starting fights/having a problem with the males of the house showed by not putting Marlon down to his face, only in the diary room. Then he learnt from the public reaction and 2 close evictions that the public didn't like that and went into the background and upped his showmance with Helen

No ones votes between freezes though

There are parts to Ash that I like and there are parts that I really dislike.

He has a tendency to say stupid things, the Jale comment and his more recent one about "that Island" which p*ssed me off.

Other than that, he's a relaxed guy. Is to be able to get on with people and gets 100% involved with the tasks. I think he could have been a better HM. He has enough mischief in him to be interesting. But he seemed to get stuck in a rut. If the tasks had been more challenging I think he would have shined.

pretty much, like i said in another thread i think its projection by some posters here, however still no fan of ash (sorry).

AnnieK 13-08-2014 01:36 PM

I like Ash and have done from the beginning. He reminds me of a lot of people I know. He occasionally speaks before he thinks - the Jale comment an example- but who doesn't. I would have called Toya a prick for the way she started shouting in that argument. He's laid back and doesn't let an awful lot get to him...not sure if he is a winner but he's a deserved finalist.

Sophiee 13-08-2014 03:01 PM

what about when he called jale a 'maggot' and was aggressive whilst speaking to matthew? :suspect: they've all had their ups and downs in there and good and bad moments in my opinion, ash is no exception.

I mentioned in my OP my thoughts on when he called Jale a maggot.

I disagree he was aggressive with Matthew tbh, he backed Helen up yes but he wasn't what I would describe as aggressive in the slightest.

reece(: 13-08-2014 03:24 PM

Consistently boring for me, all he's done is get angry a few times and wedge himself up Helen's backside all series.

Ellen 13-08-2014 03:29 PM

I like Ash, yes said something not nice to Jale early on but in general a laid back guy who likes to have a laugh.

Yes about other people - usually ones Pendle Wood ain't keen on - funny that eh :joker::joker:

erinp5 13-08-2014 04:04 PM

I agree 70 days in and still boring .Never mind just read a tweet that he's thinking of wearing a roll neck for his eviction...exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!:dance:

4.52pm: Ash is wondering whether or not to wear a roll neck on eviction night

I would say that saying 'I'll **** you up' is a form of aggressive speaking. it sounds much like a threat, whether he meant it or not.

hijaxers 13-08-2014 04:13 PM

I also think that Ash has been about as interesting as the border around wallpaper

mizzy25 13-08-2014 04:17 PM

ash is my fave

Creggle 13-08-2014 04:17 PM

Fantastic housemate :clap1:

Helen gets called to the diary room after aggressively ranting in Matthews face.

Matthew - "I'm not gonna let someone stand here and talk **** about me."

Ash - "I know Matthew but if you call my friends that deep <whatever that means> i'll tear you apart.....long pause while he realises he sounds like a ****... I don't mean literally I mean lyrically."

What he said was quite aggressive.

Sorry but who didn't think Toya was a prick?

Hats off to him for telling her, I say!

Annoyingly, I can see Ash-face placing higher than bottom 2.

He'll inherit a lot of Winston's phenomenal fan-base. And before anyone says 'but Winston doesn't have many fans or he'd still be in, remember he went out on vote to evict so his fans had to vote elsewhere but were caught unawares. And that their Winston chanting in the crowd revealed his popularity which was warning sign to his rivals fans to vote him out.
