Doesn't Ashleigh have ANYONE else she can hang out with.? What about Zoe? Zoe is a free agent and not stuck to someone like the other only remaining girl Helen.

I think Ashleigh needs to distance herself from Chris a bit. And THROW THE DOG IN THE POOL. She was hugging it again tonight. Its the worst case of dependency on a soft toy by an adult that I have ever seen.

Your obsession with Ashleigh having a soft toy is creepier than anything you have mentioned above.
....and why do you think people of different ages and genders can't be friends without putting a sleazy slant on it?
Ummmm....

*SIGH*
What a sad world we live in a world where people are still judged for who they bond with!
As a society, we've become much more enlightened about interracial pairings, gay pairings, etc. but we're still so judgmental about 2 people of different ages (both ADULTS of course!) being close.
The word "creepy" should be reserved for sexual predators, perverts and stalkers... Chris is NONE of those things! At the MOST, he has a harmless crush which, being a true gent, he'd never dream of acting on.

Ashleigh seems more mature than most 18 year olds, so it makes sense that she'd connect with the most mature person in the house. I don't find it creepy at all and they're both comfortable with each other. Age is irrelevant. Look at Ashleigh's reaction when Danielle said that Pav was obsessed with her, there's no way she'd hang around Chris if she thought there was anything weird from him.
