she's alright but

[Creggle]

Like Helen said, since Danielle went she has started to join in with the group which has made her feel more comfortable, and allowed everyone to get to know her and everyone in there seems to like her now.

Helps that she's gorgeous too.

She's been popular since week 3

[sampvt]

She isn't, its a smoke screen put out by the bookies to get bets. The poll I put up to see how many had an app was also a smokescreen because now we know that Ashleighs popularity is only due to the fact that 1 in 5 are using their apps and money to put her on that pedestal and they don't realise it, but her own fans are killing her chances of winning by sticking her head up above the parapet to be shot at.

It's not sudden. It's been building gradually for over 4 weeks as people come to admire her more and more.

This aswell. She's always had the largest number of favorites on here too based on the top of the forum (Forum popularity(%) shown (select favourite in User CP)).

How do you know she doesn't have an even larger fanbase from those without the app.
I don't have iphone or app and Ashleigh my fave

[cookiemonster]

still no reasons people...

[LukeB]

all fans have different answers, this is kinda a pointless question

I was asked to explain why I liked Ashleigh in another thread, so here is the answer:

Why is she a good HM? Ashleigh is my joint fave with Chris (although if he doesn't stop fawning over Helen he's got to go). I also like Christopher and Mark.
I didn't particularly like Ashleigh much at first. Like a lot of them, she was just there.
But since she showed her strength in the face of adversity when all the **** was thrown her way, I've liked her more and more. As in...

1. During girl power she took over and showed her mettle with a great strategy and strength of purpose. That it didn't work matters not a jot to me. She went for it fearlessly.

2. BB gave Helen and Kim the means to blast her from the morgue and what did the little minx do? Cry? Cower? No. She gave it right back with bells on.

3. BB shows her DR convo about Ash to the person who they have given a warning to about bullying. Then Helen and Kim dash out all joyful and smug like schoolyard idiots and Helen started in on Ashleigh, just as BB wanted her to. Did she cry? Cower? No. She told Helen she was pathetic and to get over it.

4. When she is nominated for eviction she takes it on the chin, whereas when Ash is nominated he says he doesn't deserve it and he shouldn't be up - and Helen goes ape**** that someone would dare nominate one of her harem. It doesn't matter that SHE also nominates those she likes less.

5. Ashleigh gets voted power HM and told she has immunity, then it is taken off her. BB strikes again. Does she rant like Steven about being up? No. She takes it on the chin even though it was a cruel twist.

BB has thrown more at her than any others (Helen only got one quote about Kim and she nearly had a breakdown).
There is a lot more - but nobody wants to read an essay.

The girl is amazing for one so young. She's mature, intelligent, smart, funny, savvy, composed and very strong.
And I take offense at being told I only like her because of her looks. She's a KID. My youngest daughter is older than Ashleigh. I like her because she's playing a cracking game with composure and dignity and all of the above.

well it isn't, because i want those different answers. the only answer i've gotten so far is 'because she's gorgeous'

[AbbieJ]

Probably because she slated Helen but she is getting too close to her so I'm a tad worried

[Mystic Mock]

1. She takes on Helen
2. She's pretty
3. She has the entertainer vote that doesn't like extreme Housemates like Helen
4. Regional vote as do remember what Derry did for Conor

i have an iDevice and i would never vote for Ashleigh

I don't think its a popularity that will see her through to winning, and there is still plenty time for someone else to power through in the end

As for why I like her... She's a tough, gritty, determined character who's had everything but the kitchen sink thrown at her and held it together remarkably well.

I don't, but there again, neither do you. WHAT WE DO KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT She is getting voted by the app users as explained in the result of my poll about apps which is why I did it.

Nothing is ever as it seems and Ashleigh voters should pipe down a little as they are getting a little overly confident and if they promote her to stardom too quickly, the GBP will go against her because nobody likes a cocky crowd.

Keep it up Ashleigh supporters, you are killing her with kindness.

Very good post. She's also had the eviction audience chanting to get her out and wasn't at all fazed by that either. Plus, 2 times I've thought she was a goner. First, after Marlon pressed the button and second when Kimberly was announced as having been taken to hospital. She's been hanging on by a thin thread and she's bounced back from the chants to get her out to win people around.

We also know she's topping every popularity poll out there including tellymix which has always been one of the more reliable ones.

That could be true but the opposite is just as possible. All the support all her fans give her can be infectious and make her even more popular. She could fall off the cliff yeah, but she could also turn into a runaway train and blitz it.
