I don't believe Ashleigh is a bully, but I could understand that her sort of slyness is quite characteristic of some bullies. Bullying isn't always shouting and screaming and overt namecalling. I can't quite make my mind up, but I kinda got the impression that she was being sly when she had her head on Ash's shoulder. Still undecided though.

At the same time, her slyness and manipulation to have Ash nominated in girl power week is only part of the game. I don't think Helen would have been kicking off if it had been boy power week and she found out Ash had been plotting to get Ashleigh nominated, for example. She was just hurt that Ashleigh had undercut her and kind of embarrassed her.
