Not really...it's just looking for any little negative or any little trait to slaughter her...it's really quite laughable

I would see a point in your posts had this thread been started to 'slaughter' anyone but it hasn't.

A lot of people in this thread are claiming that Ashleigh uses a sweet DR voice to win over the public and get what she wants by appearing as cute, but I think a lot of Ashleigh's supporters (me included) appreciate that she's a strong woman who has brought so much more to the show than what you would expect from her appearance. I don't like her because she acts "sweet" and I don't perceive her in that way at all really. I like her for quite the opposite reason.

Basically, if you believe that Ashleigh uses a sweet act to win over the public then it's not really working for her. I believe she is liked regardless of this sweet persona that she's apparently trying to put on.

Exactly it's no longer VTE

Ahh come on this is ludicrous, it's blatantly obvious that this is a VERY thinly disguised anti-Asleigh thread. "Slaughter" is a bit harsh but please, let's not pretend that it's an innocent observation with no ulterior motive ...

Very good.

Do you have anything on topic to add to this thread since discussing other members is still against the rules?

[Toy Soldier]

On the topic of the thread: perhaps you'd all prefer if Asleigh took a leaf out of Helen's book, and at all times spoke like Grampy Rabbit from peppa pig?

Fixed it for you, it is now entirely relevant.

Well thank you for an extremely well though out contribution to the thread

She doesnt speak like this outside the DR

Anyone else notice this?

I noticed her lovely soft tone when she was weighing up her decision during the shopping task - but whenever the camera went back into the main house for the housemates reaction Ashleigh could hardly be heard over them.

Tiny room, nobody talking over her...

Hmm I could believe that tbh had she not spoke in different voices whilst in there, like tonight during the interview task (which is where I noticed it so much) she was talking in the voice I described in the OP then when she said 'I don't think this is going very well' she spoke in the normal way she speaks in the house.

[Achilles]

She is an emotional 18 year old woman. I bet when she is happy at home she speaks like that all the time. If she is angry or sad etc her voice will change to reflect her mood

I don't get why the tones of voice a housemate speaks in is such a big deal?

Theres only a few making a big deal out of the thread, you being one of them.

[Toy Soldier]

As a more sensible contribution: it could be as simple as a subconscious situational inflection. For example, most people have a "phone voice" - they use a slightly different voice when they speak on the phone than they do when speaking face-to-face. It's really noticable if you're speaking to someone and then they get a phone call and take it...

"Yeah I was telling Bob about what happened at the weekend..."
*phone rings*
"Oh sorry I need to take this."
*voice pitch suddenly goes up*
"Haaaallooh?"


You can't see anyone in the DR... it probably is kind of like talking to someone on the phone.

[reece(:]

I don't think the OP is a reach but some other comments are, I've noticed a large range in Ashleigh's voice.. I prefer her angry tone

[Robodog]

She def puts on a cutey voice in the DR (and at other select times)

It's the same thing as Mark's affected scouse accent or Winston's exaggerated geezerness

Every HM walks in to a VT displaying them as a certain character type (the model, the muscle man, the player, the bitch, the crazy hippy etc)

Ashleigh knows her role is the cutesy teen 'baby of the house' - hence the teddy bear and the voice she puts on at certain times that you pointed out in the thread

[Kazanne]

Oh all these excusesshe's just a mardy arsed mare whos tone changes for maximum effect,my 11 year old does it ,I do hope she grows out of it,otherwise I might have to take her teddy off her.

[Robodog]

Ha yeah i've got female friends in their 30s and 40s who still do it (usually when they want something eg free drink, discount, lift to somewhere etc)
