As for why I like/enjoy her... Most of what she's doing doesn't come out of pure spite or nastiness imo. I just think she is genuinely disgusted by Helen and the lads and the way they speak, the language they use and the way they sometimes treat people. Remember that these are people who spoke on national television in the first week, with their parents probably watching, about fingerblasting women. And this is the stuff that is broadcastable. I believe the Star when it says that it is much much worse than that, and I think it's probably the major contributing factor to Ashleigh not wanting to be anywhere near these people at certain times. What person of any class would? And though I do think Toya was ridiculously over the top when she went on her rant, the men were pathetic with the abuse they threw back at her.

I think we all recognize this is not a pleasant group of people this year and that some of them are utterly ruthless. Ashleigh has a craftiness and saviness about her which has been fun to watch emerge the last few days. And for an 18 year old she doesn't seem at all intimidated by some of the others who have it in them to be utterly vicious (e.g. Helen towards Matthew).

I largely agree with all her views on Helen and the lads. But also on Kimberly as well. She seems to like Chris and Christopher who I would pick as the two nicest housemates and gets on with Matthew, who I'd put up there after them. I don't really see how you can say she's just as bad as others, especially Helen. Ashleigh seems to be reacting to something that is actually there (and because of the editing issues not shown to its full extent) and the worst she gets is just going off with Danielle and venting.

As for her being moody and miserable. I was moody when I was 18 and being in that house would have made me even more miserable.

I'm sure I heard Chris say out of all the housemates it was Helen he wanted to get to know
