Now that Ashleigh has been promoted to Helens hairdresser, I'm really beginning to think Ashleigh loved Helen and the gang all along. I think she felt left out & didn't really know how to integrate or handle her frustrations at inadvertently being excluded.

We've seen her make up with Helen, do her hair, gossip with her & we've also seen her become friendlier with Ash. I don't think this will be appreciated by a lot of Ashleigh fans who voted Jale out for example. Who will do their bidding now?

Ashleigh is taking a chance here and her USP was the fact that she attempted to "stand up" to Helen. Without that & now that she's on the verge of joining the cool kids - who or what is she?

Ashleigh sucked up to Helen in the first week. She became bitter soon after when Helen didn't take her into their clique. She's always wanted to be part of the 'cool kids' group.

Lol theres a massive thread about this sh** already. Helen did Ashleighs hair on friday by the way I guess there get hitched after BB then haha lol

I think she has loved ash all along. And if she didnt have a bf, who knows?

She was part of it when Pauline was there, then she heard the boo's for Pauline and Helen and moved away from the group.

Also, i think she wanted to be more at the front of the group, but Helen already had her favourites. So Ashleigh got jealous and the bitching with Toya started and then it carried on from there.

Ha! It's looking more and more likely by the day! A HUGE percentage of Ashleigh's fan base could possibly disappear...

She is now where she belongs. Chris and Christopher will be her and Helen's targets.

Ashleigh has lulled her nemesis under her spell. Good on Ashleigh.

No they have no problem with her double standards.

I'm a big Ashleigh fan, but yeah I do think a large part of her resentment was over finding herself excluded from 'the cool group'. Pretty natural reaction, to be honest, and I think she'd have mixed in well with them. Not because I think she's a bitch like Helen, but because I think she actually wanted to have fun and couldn't with Danielle.

I'm sure life is easier and happier on the right side of Helen.

She knows the publics view of her has changed because we voted her to be power hm. Thats probably taken a huge weight off her shoulders. Also Danielle isn't feeding her rubbish about the others anymore. She can actually get to know people properly, and maybe have some fun.

What you are forgetting, is that weeks ago while Ashleigh was busy preparing to go through Helen "like a ton of bricks", Helen was in the diary room saying she would be civil with & talk to Ashleigh

She handled the whole thing very immaturely i think. How she gained a following handling herself like that I don't know.

You're right, she always wanted to have fun, it was obvious.

So as it turns out Ashleigh didn't need to "go through Helen like a ton of bricks." Helen buckled.

Yes this getting "closer" from both sides. Of course it's nothing at all to do with the fact there running out of females fast in there lol Im sure Winston can't do Ashleigh and Helens hair lol

If you hated disliked someone as much as Ashleigh disliked Helen, you'd shave your hair off before you'd let her touch it. I would anyway

It will be great to see how the latest member of the cool kids gets on.

Not me and I suspect a huge percentage of her fans will agree with me :

This is 100% spot on, I have said this for weeks and I am glad that it has not been lost on others either.

Ashleigh has always wanted to be Helens bestie, just like she was with Pauline and Toya but Helen would have none of it. Her fans can twist this as much as they want but it's true.

And Helen hasn't showed during BB how much she hates Ashleigh too.. yeah right. They've touched eachothers hair wow weeee lol

Not quite. Ashleigh told Helen to "Get over herself" & Helen told her that she had nothing to get over. Don't matter now anyway, they're bff's

They're both strong women; it was inevitable they were either going to go against one another, or team up. They went against one another.

Now they're the last two girls left (and Zoe, who they don't trust) so it's inevitable they're going to call a truce over the whole thing. They're not a 'gang' though.

Wrong. Ashleigh is still in the BB house and glad to see Ashleigh getting along well in the house. Looking forward to seeing Ashleigh among the final four. So far, mission accomplished.

Yep. Like I said---Helen buckled.

If Helen is now letting Ashleigh in to the final five (because she knows Steve will go Friday) the final 5 (that Helen wants) will be Helen, Ash, Mark, Winston and Ashleigh- the cool gang. She will be targeting Chris and Christopher and newbies. Ashleigh will be totally on side with her.

Yup, keeping her enemy close.
