Ashleigh Erika Lily Caswell (née Wood) was a houseguest on Big Brother Canada 3.
Ashleigh played very loyally and under the radar, which helped her not get nominated until the final 6. She chose Pilar Nemer to be her main ally and real Final 2 deal, since she felt her showmance Zach Oleynik would've won the game against her, and felt she had a much better shot with Pilar. She was underestimated by the other houseguests and fans alike for being a weak competitor at the beginning of the game, but eventually turned out to be a force to be reckoned with, winning 1 HOH and 3 POV'S. She is also known for breaking the record for most Veto wins by a female in Big Brother Canada (franchise), currently being tied with Kaela Grant and Jacey-Lynne Graham.
She was evicted by the sole vote of her ally Godfrey at the final 3. She was the 10th and final member of the jury, but when the jury shrunk to 9 after Jordan Parhar was evicted by Sarah Hanlon, Ashleigh became the 9th and final member of the jury instead.
