Or would i choose an eighteen year old who just finished her A Levels, won Miss Derry, runs Confidence Building classes voluntarily for young women as well as other charity work and yet who was raised during the tail end of the Troubles in a working class council estate in L/Derry who has bullied NO ONE in the house.

On a serious note...
You make a great argument. These are real people, they are in the house what they are on the outside.
Helen is a loud mouth, she likes to pick on people, she goes after the weak and side steps arguments with people on an "equal" footing. She comes from a good home, but acts like she was dragged up on the streets.
Ashleigh is a polite young woman, who seems spend most of her time avoiding the people she doesn't like. She is vocal on her opinions, but never causes problems for the other HM's.
Two comments that stand out to me. The first was when Helen was in the Morgue she noticed that everyone was having fun in the VT, she said that it never happens when she is around. The second was when Christopher and Winston were in the task room reading the "twits". He said that Ashleigh and Danielle do spend a lot of time talking together and that no one had any idea what they were saying.
The point is that Ashleigh isn't effecting anyone, she isn't causing any discomfort. Yet take Helen away and everyone relaxes and has fun.
Its a small but important point.
