I'm just reading the old Aaron ATs and I think the fact she nominated him a few times did not sit well with many Aaron fans and that maybe clouded their judgement later in the series.
I didn't like her doing that, dont get me wrong, but the fact that he never went and that I liked Faye meant I never held it against her.
She has more than proven her loyalty since being out tho and that is superb and crucial to people changing their opinions of her and them as a couple

I think that as the issue of how Aaron was treating Faye became more and more prominent (with Jem's accusations, the "Friends and Family" nominations, etc), "she nominated him three times" became useful as a reply to claims that Aaron shouldn't be trusted or wasn't treating Faye well -- like, if Aaron can be doubted, so can she and even more so.
But I think that, overall, Aaron's fans supported her far more than not.
Re when Faye left, I thought shortly after, when I saw how she was handling things, and I still think, that it was better to leave when she did. Here are some reasons:
[list][*]She handled everything very well and changed the way many people thought about her. She also presented a different view of Aaron than anyone else had done. None of that would have happened if she'd still been in the house. [/list][list][*]If she'd stayed 'till the final, she'd have just been one of a bunch of HMs who were evicted, rather than getting so much time with Brian and on BOTS, etc.[/list][list][*]Her post-eviction BOTS was
easily the best episode of that show in all the time it's existed, and not only because it was about Faye. It was missing all of the things that normally make BOTS such irritating and uncomfortable viewing.[/list][list][*]She avoided the horrors of 'giftgate' and split-the-prize-money-gate. BB seemed determined throughout bb12 that the HMs would not have even one day of just being friendly and happy. As soon as anything like that appeared, a twist would go in. The final week was poison.[/list]
