What the title says?
Ashleigh seems to have been the fan favorite, she's been mine since week 3

Yet for some reason she was hated on week 4? She acted nearly exactly the way she did then for most of the series

She's never really liked Helen and co, she was civil with them on week 8 but that didn't really last

Why was she randomly hated then, yet loved for the rest of the series? Seems a bit random

She got too arrogant over her "evil plan" no one had a problem with the plan, just her glee over doing it.

Since then she's been much more careful and made all the right anguished noises and regretful comments when she's had to do something nasty.

Can she keep a lid on the smug till final night though???

Some silly Pied Piper type campaign happened and many followed, I guess.

she was mates with Toya then !!!

Desperation and frustration because vile Helen's gang are dropping like flies.

Exactly this!! But I do have a soft spot for our Ashleigh.

Yeah me too. I have others I'd prefer but she'd be an acceptable winner.

I'm just not kidding myself she's genuine, or nice.

She's manipulative, calculating and a damn good game player, which I have to admire.

For being herself, she reined it in for a bit and now she is fully herself again. Her fans must be thrilled.

She manipulated everyone to not save Ash and wouldn't even save her own friends if it meant Ash got saved too. She lied to Mark saying that she fought to save him but the others didn't when in reality she got annoyed when anyone suggested anyone other than Marlon, Chris, Steven and Ash because they'd already decided not to save the others. She bitched about Helen but never said anything to her face then also bitched about Kimberly who was just trying to be nice to her.

To be fair she's grown on me since then and maybe it was down to Toya's influence still fresh in her mind but week 4 didn't show her best side.

Yes. I went off her for a while, but then I realised you just have to accept her for what she is. I'd prefer Christopher to win though.

Irrational hate.. it never made sense. The haters cant tell you why they hated her, they dont know either.

She was passively bullied by Ash and Helen, got sick of the way they treated other 'maggots' in the house and the way they were disgusted and angry if either of their group got nominated. So she aimed to get the real maggot out and gave him a taste of his own medicine.

The general public lost their way. They lashed out at her over her "evil plan" but forgot that the plan was to spite the Whore and her cronies. The Whore had calmed down by this point after BB issued her warning.

Thankfully they've seen the error of their ways (with a little help from the Whore).

I liked her evil plan she kept it to the DR so I didn't see the problem I think Ash fans got properly annoyed and started a bit of a campaign.
