Re aaron, I agree it feels as if he is getting a lot of outside interference and that the nominations twist this week was awful...
but did anyone else think it also reflected the fact that the others friends and family saw him as the biggest threat to their child or loved one winning, so it was also a very tactical vote, to put someone who was a favourite up......?”
To me,the twist was brilliant,but i'm not as emotionally involved as i was last year,think the last weeks BB was getting boring,ppl were calling for twists to be made etc...
I think if they did,they would have put Aaron up,along with Alex,this way Aaron might've gone,so i'm not sure they voted tactically.
Last year BB,housemates had the perfect opportunity to get rid of either John or Jose,by putting the two up,but they never did.

I agree watching John being so wound up and angry at the end of last year, was uncomfortable viewing...
isnt it interesting though, how Hm that the producers actually want to keep in the house....are usually persuaded to stay....whilst others like Jem, just seem to walk.....

Agree,for me it is refreshing to watch BB,without being too biased,although i like Harry,Alex and Tom,but no where near John,last year.
BB care about drama=more viewers=more voters.I do not think they care about the housemates per se.
None,don't like frogs,yuk...can't even look at them,without shivering
Sure thing they did

John was affected very much by Ben and Racheal returning.He lost the grip of why he was in the show.”
Not really,they have already watched Aaron's vt,where he call himself that.
Agree,even Corin,all made comments that suggested he was gonna be beaten up

Who knows,it could be very much so,also BB might have put Jem in the house for a reason,and was always gonna walk after she has done her job iywim.

When are we going to do a bit more choir practise...?
could we do something for Halloween or fireworks night?
I always used to do a pumpkin with my kids and put it out the front, cos we used to do it with my mum when I was small, and she used to tell me the story that the scary faces would scare away all the evil spirits who were out and about on all Hallows night....
but somehow having a pumpkin there encouraged all the local kids to come trick or treating!!!
which I wasnt too worried about.....!!!”
I hated pumpkin faces,they scared the shit out of me,still do

Aaron has both benefited and suffered from this. The Martyrs club only focus on the latter, but more rational observers look at both.
Similar happened with John last year, imo. We focus on all the times the producers picked on him to create drama (Captain Drama), but ignore the times when he appeared to get beneficial treatment and caused such anger in the MF last year.
At the end of the day, BB is less and less about a fair competition (treating 14 HMs equally) . . but more and more about producing an entertainment show to attract a new audience. That said I don't believe the treatment of HMs is random . . . the role each HM manages to take in the house determines to a considerable extent how they are treated. Those, like Aaron (and Rebeckah for that matter), who try to grab the most airtime can expect to be used to create a lot of the show's drama. Sometimes that works for them, sometimes against them. But overall he's shrewd enough to play the game to his advantage and should have no cause for complaint.
As regards what Faye's mum said about the 'chosen one', she was only repeating Aaron's own words about himself on his VT.
Maybe (in the case of the 3 non-Palmer families), but who knows? Perhaps, like me, they just don't like his character.”
I have nothing more to add to this Alex.Spot on.
Numerous times,John could have been punished by BB last year,for discussing noms,or tampering with the mikes
But no way i'm as involved as i was last year
