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.
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.)
