Absolutely nothing Supes. 

LOL, I'n struggling along with you Tates. i can see loads of things he 'isn't' but little that he' 'is'

I thought I'd hate him, when he first went in, especially from his VT.

 

In fact, I ended up rather liking his sense of humour, I like the way he demolished the Wolfpack, I like his principles, and I hate the way he has been targeted by the production team.

 

His sulks are legendary, but I live with a sulker and know how to deal with them. Ignore them and out-sulk them. 

And I forgot, his stupid dad-dancing makes me PMSL. 

I like his manner, lack of crudity, how nonsense pisses him off and his quips  

Can't understand the love for him only that he's not Jay.  

 

I swooned when I saw him first Blizzie but something irked me straight away.  I hate the way he threw the Shopping Tasks just to demolish The Wolfpack .  I don't think he has principles other than to win if he had he wouldn't have connived to leave his Housemates on basic budget or have a pretend love interest.  

He can be so funny but the Game got to him and he spent his time pondering his next move and ended up as a miserable git.  

I really don't think it was a 'pretend love interest'. Stupidest game plan ever, if it was.

 

But I do remember thinking that he and Harry were idiots during the toy task. I can't remember how aware he was about the Wolfpack's vendetta against him, at stage, so may be that was his motive. I don't blame him for the skiing task fail, though. I think there was a lot we didn't see, ans there was mention of Jem wanting to get out and speak to BB about not mentioning her real age. Also about his knee being really painful and Anton being asked to save him next, but Anton deliberately choosing Faye.

TBH, that's a huge selling point!

 

 

Course it's a pretend Love Interest......he loved her on a Sunday and fell out with her midweek.  He loved her all this week and she came out to the show presenters saying how different she was this week because she was so happy.  

Jem went in thinking he was using her sister then the whole experience took over and she blamed Faye for all the hassles until the Ski Task where he showed  that the Game meant more to him than the welfare of his fellow housemates.

Did you see the skit last night about the actor speculation?  

I'm not saying that there haven't been problems. If anything, I'd say that they often had arguments on a Sunday and were both put up for eviction because of it. I think Faye was just as much to blame for their fallings out and I don't hold out much hope for their future, especially with her family's input. Jem went in with an agenda and was extremely intimidating towards Aaron, from the off.

 

As for the skit, I'd put that down to Tom being a nasty, little bitch. So Aaron snogged a woman who had got into his bed, voluntarily, and before he knew that Faye liked him like that. Big deal!

 

The fact is, we haven't had live feed and there have been so many examples of obviously manipulative and bad editing, that none of us can know for sure what has really gone on. I'm just going by what I've seen and I think they both had genuine feelings for each other.

I didn't buy that "she looks happier this week" line: as she said herself, she's had the time of her life in there and I think the presenters had to say that to explain the horrendous editing over the last few weeks. Her mother claimed she looked happier because she was finally just enjoying the experience for herself rather than with Aaron, which was blatant nonsense seeing how close they've remained this week. Her mother and a lot of other people are going to be backtracking like mad over the next few days, as Faye gets to see how their relationship's been portrayed on the outside. She's already demolished two of the main "Aaron's a devious manipulator" stories (the "3 kids and a landrover" story and the recent nominations) and it will be interesting to see what else she says over the next week,

There were clues even before Faye left the house, though. We don't have LF, but one of the revelations for me has been Twitter. Thanks to that, and the Facebook clips that never made it into the main show, we know that the "rows" they had tended to be short-lived (and were often fuelled by Faye's drinking!   ) On the other hand, they'd spend hours on end every day having one-to-one conversations. They clearly know each other very well, whereas the Jay/Louise relationship (which we keep being told is the real one) seems purely physical to me...

 

As for the Ski Task: the HMs welfare was never at risk. BB has to keep the HMs reasonably well fed: Rex knew that in BB9 and exploited it. Aaron and Harry knew it too and exploited it repeatedly such as in "Banana-gate". The reasons for the HMs walking out of the task room were much more complicated than what was shown on HLs and included Jemma being annoyed with the producers for revealing her real age...

People talk about bad editing - well I think how Faye's Mum has been portrayed is absolutely atrocious. She clearly does not like Aaron - she must see something or know something about Faye to say that. She knows her daughter and despite Twitter and all the rest of it, we are not there and who is to say that the Twitter stuff is accurate as well. In fact, if you read Dead Famous by Ben Elton you will see that so called "Live Feed" is generally at least 15 mins behind so editing can still happen.

She has been accused of some terrible things by Aaron fans - including being paid by BB to say this stuff and wanting him out because of Faye then having a better chance of winning. Dreadful things and dreadful name calling as well.  She may well be wrong for saying what she did, but she does not deserve the abuse that has been thrown by people.

I did not realise just how blinkered die hard BB fans are when they support their favourites. It's like all reasoning rushes out the window and they just see what they want to see and anyone who says anything bad about Aaron is subjected to name calling and having their character called into disrepute - I am not talking about FMs being called names by the way but anyone on the TV or media who does not like Aaron is immediately condemned and verbally assassinated.

 

I have made my feelings about Aaron known - I do not like him.

I am not keen on Aaron as a person I don't think he is that likeable, there is a dark side to him that comes thru occasionally but he reminds me very much of Rex with his humour which I liked and gameplay too, but he played a better game than Rex did so if I was voting for the best game player I'd have to vote for him..from what we've been able to see anyway..

 

Rex showed his misogynistic side in his BB too much. .I will never ever forget him telling his GF to look at him when he talked to her on numerous occasions like she was a naughty child who needed telling and I felt he was about to send her to her room with no supper if she didn't behave.. and yes she was a bitch but it showed a really nasty controlling side to Rex and how he treats women and for me no matter how good his game was that finished it as far as me wanting a good game player to win. .plus his treatment and haranguing of Rachel about her Video which went on for hours and really was all out bullying cos he just wouldn't let it rest...he fecked up big time showing that side of himself too much..

 

Aaron has managed to suppress the darker side much more than Rex did [at least we don't get to see it cos of no LF] so we just see his clever game play manipulating noms, which is highlighted more when you see the other peoples attempt at gameplay like Anton and his diary room big talk and the wolfpack using spitefulness as part of their gameplay. .Aaron wins on subtlety all round.. plus he also had the knowledge as the weeks went by that he has a fan base out there too so proof, if he needed it, that what he was doing was working..

 

I think he picked the wrong girl to hook up with tho. .talk about hard work and a spoilt brat to boot who strops if it doesn't go her way [allowed to get away with murder at home maybe?] and with a dreadful unsupportive family behind her as well.... mind you he's hard work too with all that sulking and cryptic stuff he does..

 

I actually would have preferred Harry as a winner as he played a better game by not alienating either side in there so much, but will take anybody apart from Jay Louise or Tom.. which only leaves Aaron and Alex I suppose

 

All of that ^^^^^ waffle is based on the little info we got this series which is annoying to me cos I don't really know any of them well enough and I feel when I am typing the opinions I have formed so far that it is based on not enough info and half the time I haven't felt able to comment on this series because of that..., but if Channel 5 want a dirty manky fridge shitting geezer and a scruffy thick Model to be their chosen ones then I want the one they don't want winning to win..  ie Aaron.. .just to spite them for trying to manipulate the audience too much..

 

i've been typing this waffle for so long I've forgotten what the thread is about. .but sod it I'll post anyway  .. that's me all typed out for the day

gawd Olly...  

 

I wish to god that Aaron was that similar to Rex..    

 

only similarity I have been able to see was the "potential abusive husband" accusations are starting to fly 

 

Loved Rex...    Can't stand Aaron... 

 

(but.. tbf...  I don't actually like any of this years housemates)

Olly....

 

Wow!

 

You don't post much but when you do, it is very very impressive and well thought out. I agree with you mostly

I think if you don't 'get' Aaron its almost impossible to get you to see what the rest of us see.  But this thread on DS does go some way to show the humour of the guy http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk...hlight=aaron+zingers

I feel exactly the same TBH.

hahaha Ditty . .

 

there were elements of Aaron  early on with the subtle humour/sarcasm that reminded me a lot of Rex's humour, tho that disappeared off our screens more as the 'love interest' stuff took over and we saw more of his sulks and bickering than the clever stuff..  but that's no LF for ya... I often wonder how Rex would have come across just from a HL show watchers perspective but having seen him in action in LF a lot I would never be able to get away form the fact that the parts of his personality that were not so nice were the parts I particularly hate in a person and I can;t see beyond that .. maybe he was too much like me! 

 

Eileen I save up all my thoughts and just tend to go for it in the one long post here and there

Me too.. .and am even more pee'd off with this last two weeks and only a few HM's left. ..prefer a last week of multiple night evictions so there's more in nearer the end.. . it's SO BLUDDY BORING now

 

I've not liked any HM's in a 'fan of' way since the yr Science was in..  but the following yr I started LUTTing so I got to know them a lot better and hated them all within a week 

lays down and has a sleep. .toooo much typing all in one go.. . am shaggered

It's not a matter of "not getting him" Squiggle - yes he does say some funny things. But that does not really explain his sulks and his strops.

I am not sure Aaron fans are blinkered ... At least not on here... I know I'm not, and compared to last year's BB I think we have been surprisingly muted We are all well aware of Aaron's faults and foibles However, I personally don't judge him on how he is *supposed* to have treated Faye... at worst they were equally manipulative and both used each other in order to try and win. He has however suffered from the appalling editing in the HL show. Like Ollie I would have preferred Harry to win , but c'est la vie . Aaron and Harry have been the best of a very bad bunch . As for Faye's family ...like someone said in an earlier thread ... They (and C5) put themselves into the show, so they must expect to become part of the *debate.*

I just like him     he is his own man I like the fact he is not foul mouthed like most of them in the house.

Tis a good point about how we would perceive Rex without LF..      

 

But Olly I am soooo cynical about this years BB..     I can't even feel sympathy for anyone on the grounds of a bad edit, cos I actually think they are all in on it anyway. 

 

I think its a load of scripted, directed bollocks 

Its not the Faye stuff that makes me dislike Aaron  (though the fact that is actually prepared to be seen to be into her in front of the nation doesn't help)..  

 

Its just the rest of it..   the whole Aaron package..  

 

I do however agree with the positive point about Aaron made further up..

 

He's not Jay 

Lol. I agree with Ditty ... It's a load of scripted ...tosh You can see it by the way they check out the cameras , the lousy way they deliver their *lines* etc.etc. .... I've still got drawn in though

 

I'm a bit late to this years BB discussions, so just picking up on what people like and dislike about housemates. I have to say that I don't dislike Aaron. There are housemates that I dislike more (Jay, Anton, Arden - and his so called girlfriend).

 

Aaron has a very distinct way about him, quite feminine really. I think that he and Faye are quite similar in many ways, hence the sulks and tantrums. I'm not sure they will hit it off on the outside, but that is not the point of BB really.

 

But, how boring would BB have been this year if you had not had Aaron and Faye?

A large bunch of the other housemates have been relatively non de-script. After all, BB is an entertainment programme and having a series of people more concerned with their hairstyle or hair extensions would have been dulllll.

yup am with you there

 

I don't feel it's BB anyway. .am not sure I even liked BB in the later yrs anyway. .I think it's a habit I have that I still can't break..and my like of sitting and tutting away at all reality shows making me perhaps feel superior for a short while in my saddo life. .even if I ain't.. :

 

I need some sort of 12 step programme to cure me of watching dross

innit Baz 

 

and the wooden way some "scenarios" have been set up..     like they have been told "right Aaron & Jay.. we are going to shoot a scene of you having a chat about Faye & Louise in the sauna..    Right..   lights... action.....  & go"

 

Yea Baz once their families appear on the TV as part of the show they are fair game for comments etc.I like Aaron,yes he's a moody bugger and I'd probably be fed up shouting at him in the real world ,he's the best of a bad bunch this year.As for that lunkhead Jay and his shit orientated squeeze words fail me.

Exactly Ditty Pity they didn't pick better actors though

I'm cured..  

 

we only watch BB if there is nothing else on....    I don't fret at all if we miss it.

 

 

Mind you..   cos of friday night BB's I did get sucked into The Bachelor..    

 

 

gawd that ^^^^   more than anything else damns this years Big Brother..    if I find BB missable, instead getting addicted to watching Gavin Henson tart his way around a group of birds with no pride, playing them off against each other for the grand prize of being his girlfriend 

I know!! 

for people to agree that he could be an abusive husband i think is disgusting, you should all meet my dad. Aaron is his own person, we have seen his fun side his down side he dont cover what hes thinking, the others what have we got alex shes not being who she really is, tom hes just a horrible little twit, louise beautiful absoultely stunning but shes gone along with jays foul habits and mouth and thinks it funny. then we have mr waggot i dont have words to describe him 2 a penny in any night club on a saturday night, for me Aaron is whats made bb this year, bb have treated him terrible and hes survived it. good luck to Aaron for standing by his principles and not being crippled by bb,

I watched the bachelor too Ditty 

 

I watched BB cos it meant I could record stuff I really liked to watch later at a time more suitable to me and at my leisure... I'd start off putting my TV on pause and sorting my dinner out so I'd then sit down with that and be able to watch Bb and the Bachelor ffwding thru the adds... gawd I am such a TV saddo...

 

ello Jaf 

 

I don't, & have never, agreed with any housemate being tarred as "potential wife beaters" or "potential abusive husbands"..  

 

Its speculative in the worst possible way..    AND it also implies that you can tell an abusive husband by his general public behaviour..      when actually often, you can't.

 

Its just one of those things that doesn't need saying..  

have you finished watching it?

Never watched The Bachelor but gave Tamara Ecclestone a go last night. Got 10 minutes in to it and my husband gave me a stern look and just said 'Enough!' then changed the channel.
