BB could have given Faaron special consideration by not doing tasks that might upset Aaron but it's Aaron's personality which is causing him to get upset about a bit of fun, not BB. Nobody's complaining that they are having a go at Harry because of the task they set Tom and let's not forget BB are the ones who set up Faye's date task in the first place, thus getting them together.
I think people are giving BB far too much credit for this. It's the nature of the game to test housemates' character but, ultimately, Aaron and Faye wouldn't be in the position they are in if they had Jalou's temperament or if Faye's family knew when to back off.
BB are just prodding and poking the housemates to see what will happen. They aren't deliberately trying to hurt them any more than they are deliberately trying to make their time easy. They set up scenarios and let the chips fall where they lay. I really believe it's as simple as that. No conspiracies.

My persinal feeling is that they wouldn't be so up and down if Jem wasn't in the house!
yes they had a tricky start due to the Maisy thing, but by the time Jem arrived Faye was well over that and they wouldhave just got stronger!
It is only putting Jem in that cauised doubts, when faye was happy with her decision, they set a task to deliberately upset him, when he got over it, they showed the vt's. When Faye didn't care they brought in this noms twist.
I do understand what you're saying about how they always give them a little prod to see how they cope under pressure, but where is the pressure on Jay and Lou? Why haven't they shown what Jay said about Louise?
It does seem to be relentless pressure on Aaron and Faye, I wouldn't mind if they'd tried it on jay and Lou and didn't get a reaction, but they haven't tested them in any way at all!
I consider myself a reasonable person on BB forums. I don't get overexcited calling things fix etc, but this does sem unfair and beyond anything done before imo!
