Watching Ashleigh 'bitch' about Helen is creating a 'lull before the storm'....otherwise we would just be watching The Helen show and all the wimps rally around her agreeing with every word that comes out her mouth. Matthew is keeping his distance from her now and Chris is just letting it all go over his head.
Without Ashleigh we wouldn't have a possible challenger or any kind of insight that her behaviour is not going unnoticed.
