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.
Contrast that with Helen....now you tell me why
she is a fave?
Ash,
..but that's cool and no one's questioning your choices of housemates...it's just inaccurate to say Ashleigh is only liked for her looks when there have been thread after thread on her behaviour..good and bad..in the house...no different from Helen really...
...and when she tried to strategize or manipulate Ash not being saved whichever way people would look at it, I think she saw him as the closest to Helen and a way to fragment the 'group' ..but has grown to like him/they seem to have a new respect for each other and that's also not always present in an 18yr old..that she can reflect and her opinions can be changed..?...some young people have it but not all do/it's a good and admirable trait...I like you have sons older than Ashleigh, have no interest in her appearance and find it beyond ridiculous that, that should be levelled as the only reason to like her when she has shown many good qualities in the house...but also, she can bitch with the best of them, so that wipes all of those out..?..but yeah, perfect post Jet..applause, applause..
