I would agree but I think Ashleigh just had a problem with the way Helen had treated so many hms in the house, while Helen had no reason to have a problem with how Ashleigh had treated anybody. I don't think saying Ashleigh "started on Helen" first is a fair representation of the situation. Helen started on so many hms first, and Ashleigh had a problem with it.

If I had been dropped in the house at around week 3, I'd also have a bad impression of Helen and have a problem with her, just by watching how she'd treated others.

And what about when Ashleigh started her 'evil plan' - taking all the other girls aside to manipulate them all into 'not saving Ash' - she DELIBERATELY excluded Helen to prevent Ash being saved. She did that to hurt Helen and Ash on purpose.

Excluding someone like that and acting in a way to upset them - is far from inspiring or heroic behaviour.

I also didn't get the feeling that she wanted to hurt Ash at all, it was about her and Helen. And I don't think she just wanted to upset Helen by getting her friend out, she wanted to show her she can't have her own way all the time, and that she wouldn't allow her to dominate girl power. I really don't think it had much to do with her hating Ash. Whatever the task would have been, Ashleigh would have tried to make sure Helen couldn't try to dominate like she would have presumed she could.
