At least I'm backing up what I'm saying with actual substance rather than "I'm right you're wrong".

Try the less rude approach in your next debate. Night love.

Queen Ashleigh flawlessly executed her plan to guarantee that Ash would be up AND that he would be up against guys that he would 100% go home vs. That's why it was important to save Marlon and Stephen so that this way Ash is guaranteed to go home. That is a brilliant plan for anyone let alone an 18 year old.

That's it, exactly.

What I loved about last nights show was how stunted Helens power has become.

Two weeks ago Helen would have taken control of that meeting. But that didn't happen, Ashleigh did.

Helen went into that meeting thinking she had both Jale and Kim in her pocket, but she didn't. Both sided with Ashleigh.

Two weeks ago Helen would have shouted everyone down. But she didn't in that meeting, despite the fact that her closest ally was on the chopping block. Instead we saw Ashleigh take control and decide who they were talking about and, more importantly, why. This allowed her to have Chris and Steven, the popular choices locked in, only leaving the debate for the last spot open. Forcing a vote she knew she'd win.

Much respect to the girl. Who would have thought that Ashleigh would be the one to topple Helen?

But she wasn't. Everyone else is benefitting from the fact that Helen's watching her step due to her warnings from BB.

Do people actually think Ashleigh has Helen running scared or keeping silent?

Who said anything about Helen running scared?

I said that Helen stepped into the room thinking she had 3 votes to 2, and walked out 4 votes to 1.

That didn't happen accident. Under warning or not, Helen is still a power house of a character. She is still capable of making someone's life difficult. And warning or not, she is still able to argue, as long as she doesn't cross the line.

Ashleigh stated that it was her plan was to get Ash up for eviction. And she was true to her word. She talked to the other girls, apart from Helen, and made her case.

She took over the meeting. She decided what order the boys were discussed in. And she had the votes.

Helen isn't running scared, but she has to be questioning her position. Two weeks ago she was untouchable. Now her "man" is up and there was nothing she could do to stop it. She can no longer intimidate people. Her male backers are no longer as strong as they were - Ash is up, Steve is all Kim's, Marlon will side with Jale after her speech. Is she really still the top female HM? Two weeks ago this wouldn't have even been a question. But the situation has changed.

So the question is, if Helen isn't, who is?

Jale? Has proven to be quite resilient, but has never been hugely popular.

Kim? Too stoic.

Danielle? Can anyone see her ever being the most popular female HM?

Ashleigh? She got the female votes. How many of the men like her?

[Marsh.]

Do some people actually think saying she's 18 means she's some revelation?

18 year olds are adults, not babies with no brain.

We also have reached the point where these young housemates have grown up with BB and similar shows all over the TV so the nature of the public vote doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out that putting someone booed up against people cheered is a good idea.

She was amazing last night :')

A bb sweetheart..housemate of the series so far.

It's like Toya is the big boss who has gone on holiday and left Ashleigh in charge of the company.

Ashleigh is really enjoying her moment of power but it wont last because it is 'hand-me-down' power from Toya - with Toya's opinions, Toya's attitude and most of all - with Toya's enemies !

Just think : if Toya had not been in the house - no way would Ashleigh be acting this way towards those same people.

She had no beef with them until Toya talked her into it.

You don't know that though, I'd never seen Ashleigh being friendly with Helen and co beforehand and she didn't like the way Helen was from when she had the argument with Danielle, that was ages before she became friendly with Toya

Ashleigh could run circles around Toya. Toya didn't have the smarts that she has. Toya was a impulsive person who showed her hand - she wasn't a 'strategy' person like Ashleigh. I don't see the resemblance at all.

Followers rarely "keep the power". Over the last few days Ashleigh has come across as head strong and in control. At no point did we see a "Toya" out burst, or a Helen spit fire attack. So this has nothing to do with "hand-me-down" power. Ashleigh has proven to have her own inner confidence.

And how exactly is Ashleigh acting? She talked logically and made her points to Danielle, Jale, and Kim. Which secured their votes. And in the meeting she was pleasant, straight forward and in control. Afterwards Helen's displeasure was centered around Kim.

[erinp5]

3.33pm: Jale and Kimberly are discussing Ashleigh. The upshot? They don't like her. Quelle surprise

here we go then .

HUH?

Has she threatened sexual violence against anyone.?

[Marsh.]

Yeah, sure jet.

I believe you. You've changed half of her plan from what you were saying last night but it doesn't matter.

Really? Then why don't you quote what I said that was different?
Apart from one word which I typed by mistake and edited I've couldn't have said anything different as I don't think anything different.

I'm glad you've seen the light though.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, of course jet, whatever you say.

In other words you couldn't find where I said anything different.

Your entire explanation is different.

I don't care to carry on because both versions are wrong.

No, it was just put into one post instead of certain parts spread across quite a few in answer to other posts.
Again, quote me where I said anything that contradicts what I said above.

Still searching hard Marsh?

Just watched last nights episode. Ashleigh went from being bottom of my ranking the night before to being right at the top of my ranking. She really impressed me and I think we may have a challenger for Helen. That said I warmed a lot to Helen last night too. They are the best two housemates for me at the moment in terms of watching value. Hope Ashleigh continues to be this strong and doesn't go quiet again. After her audition tape on bit on the side I think she has a lot more to give
