The most ironic thing about the Helen / Ashleigh split is that they have EXACTLY the same personality type. Give Ashleigh a baby and have her turn to prostitution, fast forward 10 years, dye her hair and... That's Helen. Helen is an older, jaded, and yet more down to earth Ashleigh.
Neither of them are good people.
The only half "decent" person in there is actually Ash. He's literally the ONLY one I've seen much genuine emotion from over the entire series: be that having fun and laughing about things that everyone else is getting worked up about, or the way that he was visibly gutted when he realised Winston was really gone - with no ulterior motive. Just genuinely sad about it. He also is the only one who seems to be genuinely happy when they're all getting along, and disappointed when it falls apart... And was the only one of ash/helen/Winston who was even vaguely remorseful about the breakout thing.
Basically he seems like a normal, friendly guy who went there to have a laugh but got sucked into a very negative series. Even as recently as last week he seemed genuinely keen for everyone to get along, when the rest were just paying lip service, and were simply looking for an excuse to end the ceasefire... Because they're happier sniping at each other. All of them.
And yet, I don't think he'd be a "worthy" winner... Because he's simply not been strong enough a character.

That is the most insightful comment I have read on here.
I see all of the same things - I wonder if it takes someone over the age of say 25 to see what Ashleigh is likely to turn into one day? Of course she is not worried about money right now - - she has never had to really take care of herself independently or anyone else.
Thats not her fault its just her age.
But she can bitch - yet never really to anyone's face. She has done nothing to deserve all this "fan boy" rubbish - nothing amazing at all- she has not really comforted or cared for anyone- i really do not get it - just being Helens enemy shouldn't make her a winner- she hardly stopped Helen or taught Helen anything - what a waste of time- but maybe the viewers who are her age relate to her?? and her being the same age as them is enough for them to go over the top supporting her. She really is just very 'meh'
And it is really hard to 'like' any of them. The 'power' theme was so negative this year.
