I'm in two minds about this, on one hand Arron dishes it out so it's karma when he gets it back but on the other hand I can't help thinking if it had been a disliked housemate doing this to a popular housemate (Caroline/Ashliegh doing it to Lauren/Deana) there would be threads full of outraged people demanding action and complaining to OFCOM.

Arron deserved what he got off Adam, the others wouldn't have.

Well yes. The thread OP is asking was it deserved
If it had been done to a nice HM / popular then it would have been wrong because a nice HM would not have deserved it.
Although I am of the opinion Arron did deserve it I see there are some who do not, but even they would have to agree, Arron earned it
no if conor had done it you guys would have been angry
If Conor had done it, his motives would have been completely different. Adam doesn't act until he feels it necessary. Conor's motives would be purely selfish and gratuitous.
It was fully deserved! And just a fun prank, after all
I actually think it was a good way of dealing with the whole situation, it probably diffused quite a lot of the tension after the punishment was announced.
Very true, instead of laying there simmering at least they're all laughing now (except Arron of course)
Yes, I do think he deserved it. Arron's prides himself on being the house 'prankster' and doesn't even think twice before pouring water on other people's beds and stealing other people's possessions etc.
All this 'two wrongs don't make a right' malarky - maybe not but seeing someone who has acted very unpleasantly getting their comeuppance and a taste of their own medicine is satisfying to say the least. I defy anyone to disagree with that!
Dont get me wrong, Arron is no angel and he 'pranks' people all the time.
But Adam has just lowered himself to Arron's level and he doesnt need to, which is why Im disappointed in him.
Some of the posts here suggesting Arron is being bullied or Adam should receive a warning are way off the mark. To be fair to Arron he took it, initially, in good humour, perhaps because he thought it was water?
Some FMs claiming chucking water in someone's face maybe classed as assault, I dont know, but hiding someone's personal possessions and eating their chocolate can also be classed as theft
I genuinely was gobsmacked by his reaction. I really did think that he could take being pranked, and would take it in good humour and have a little laugh but he was absolutely fuming.
Very poor sportsmanship IMO. Perhaps he's annoyed as other insiders have consistently been forgiven and he didnt get the same treatment.

Fair points. But I wouldn't even call it a prank, it was a well thought out response, done with dignity, style and a smile on his face.
It was the calm cool unrushed style he executed it is that has raised him up in mine and many others estimation. Pure gold.

I agree. He should've just laughed it off no matter how he was feeling about it inside. He ended up looking like a petulant brat.

He'll be fine, he can have Conor's matress.:D
If you can't take the flack keep your head down.
^^This, exactly.

Deana seemed to enjoy it.;)
Ooooh, sounds like a Twitter post :eek:

It was a prank! Arron loves pranks, don't worry about it;)

Greatest BB moment so far. Well done to Adam for doing it, I say.
