I think that's why many people don't see her as a deserved winner because she never broke down in tears, that we know of, due to the bullying. Instead she managed to stand her ground and be a bitch back.
Chris is funny, his diary room talks and comments are funny and tend to be spot on. Why doesn't he out and say sh!t to people's faces? Why would he? It would do him no good because he would be ganged up on, not listened to and shouted at. Remember, these people have to live there all the time and if I was there I wouldn't want to have to deal with a row every time I dared voice an opinion.
Christopher is an alright guy too. I didn't like him at first but I think he's been treated like and idiot by people in there and he doesn't deserve that. He's a clever, genuine guy.
Ash is probably good craic to be fair, as was Winston and I'll always argue that if Helen had not been there we would have had great comedy from their bromance.

Agree with most of your comments especially where Chris, Ashleigh and Christopher are concerned.
