Ashley struggled at the early bonfires when she felt betrayed by Casey, due to his constant flirting with many of the single women in the house. She reached her breaking point when Casey said he would be fine if they split up. He also stated that his past confessions of love weren't entirely genuine.

That revelation led Ashley to seek comfort, by forming a connection with one of the single men in the house, Ben Knobloch. At the final bonfire, Casey decided that Ashley was the one, despite building relationships with a few available females. He proposed to Ashley in the finale. In a significant twist, she rejected his proposal, and decided to leave with Ben.
