Not the criteria for the winner, though - she might be different in real life.

Means nothing, Rosemary was favourite until tonight.

She was 2nd fave. Ashley has been favourite since around 24 hours ago.

I really hope she wins, I have been backing her since the start

I think she's great. Down to earth, no nonsense, and seems to be a nice person. Both me and my husband want her to win...a rare agreement about reality tv in our house!!

I didn't think I'd like her, but I want her to win it. Go Ashley!

Not another boring winner

A strong, independent woman who's funny. smart, up for anything and a joy to watch.

I realise Helen was your favourite (I've been defending her myself on here) but to call Ashley boring is ridiculous.

Helen wasn't my favourite, I defended her because she seemed to get such a hard time on here.......I would like Eric to win failing that Charlie would be my second choice.

Ashley has been consistent, never shying away from tasks, always smiling, but she hasn't done or said anything interesting.

Charlie is not boring but Ashley is..?

:sleep:

With Helen's eviction followed by Rosemary's this year it's shown how wrong the bookies & many polls have been. If I had any money left to bet (i.e if Rosemary hadn't got the boot last night ) I would be putting it on Eric!

Ashley to win

Charlie has shown her emotional side, Ashley just smiles, has a little dig at people, then carries on.......
No-one appears to be close to Ashley..........

I went off her when she took the phone call to her mum, when there were people with children in the camp.......

The producers have made it their business to feature her as narrator then secret task, without the shows involvement they wouldn't have any reason to feature in the highlights, just her smile and dancing, even they realised 3 weeks of that might make the audience forget who she was......I think the production would like to have the first ever American winner this year, they really have played into her hands.

Yesterday she was talking about re-connecting with her Dad in the Telegraph and it was clear she'd been crying. To say she's boring and just smiles is way off.

She is one of the main camp members who is involved in just about all of the narrative. She's been a brilliant camp mate after starting the show as the least well known in her own right. She's smart, funny, resourceful, determined, stunningly beautiful with a figure to die for and I think I'm falling in love with her.

very true. one of the genuinely good things about this, otherwise, kinda dumb show.

I like Ashley but think Charlie Brookes won it last night with the episode it not seeing her child

Ashley has been my favorite since day one. So I would love for her to win. Go Ashley!

Thats true, but Ashley was given more of the trials and the narrative by the producers. Charlie is a BBC asset and has been frozen out - because ITV obviously don't want to advertise the BBC ratings competition. On whats been shown, Ashley probably desrves to win - but, in part, its been shaped that way. Ashley also may not be an innocent when it comes to tactics . Its been very noticeable that she's pointed out what others are doing thats not vote worthy, and she's been happy to vote to keep her female compettion away from trials - that might make her more deserving or not.

Eric should have no chance. He's been pretty obnoxious, his misanthropy isn't an act, and he's been in the bottom two already. Hugo has a change story but they keep on showing clips that show he hasn't changed. Charlie needs to get to the last stages where they can't edit her out and do something a bit impressive in the final trials - where she will finally get to do them.

The big questionmark is how the female vote sees David. On the one hand, he's the hunkiest male they have had, he's taken his clothes off enough to show it, and he's been generally supportive and excelled at tasks. If they like alpha males - he's very alpha.If they judge on task performance - he may be the best ever. However, someone who gets punched in the face for a living isn't going to run at the sight of a rat, and there's not that much to praise when one of the fittest people on the planet finds physical tasks easy. Charlie or Ashley doing much less well may be more remarkable. On the other hand, David has been ultra competive and has set out to hog the tasks, stress his success, and freeze his opposition out of them. He's competitve and he's treated this as a competition - wheras Ashley has only been a bit tactically aware, and Charlie has been more passive and interested in just not getting it wrong.

Ashley to win but she need need needs the votes no1 is safe look at Rosemary last night. Caaaamon Ashley😁 vote for her guys if you can.

She did one trial.

If ITV didn't want Charlie to win they would have had her mother behind the door in the challenge yesterday. The stunt the played yesterday has boosted Charlie's chances of winning immensely.
