The first incident was the stranded task walkout. Jem has said herself that she felt manipulated into walking out of the task by Aaron. The second incident was Jem's first nominations. There are a few videos of her talking by the pool late at night with Aaron, Faye and Harry. It's during this time that Faye realises she needs to start voting tactically to stay in, and what's really telling is that in the following nominations, Faye, Aaron and Harry all nominate Jay and Anton (no surprise there), and so does Jem.
In these two incidents, Jem acted alongside Aaron and Faye. Jem would have naturally been in the WP but, because she wanted to bond with her sister, she ended up on the other side, and hurt the people who were her more natural allies - Jay, Louise and Anton. I think it was her guilt at having done this that caused her backlash against Aaron; she could hardly blame her sister, so he bore the full brunt of her anger. I really think Jem was put into a difficult situation, and by chosing her sister over the people who would have naturally been her friends, led to the schism and disintegration of her relationship with Aaron, and the damage to her relationship with Faye.”
Agree to a certain extent. If you go by the HLs and clips tho, there is no real coersion by anyone in that room to make anyone leave. When it is first suggested, Jem is asked and says "I'm up for that". When she is asked again she says "yes".
Faye's hilarious "hope you fall off douchbag" comment suggests she is happy enough to scupper plans and Harry and Aaron are joking that "this is what we do best".
I really cannot see (from the info we have) any kind of pressure placed on any of them by any of the others to follow suit. In fact, in one of the clips she leads the way into the house as she "needs a poo!"
I see from her latest Tweets last night that she mentions the burp task and that Aaron said he would "never speak to her again" so it makes complete sense that their garden argument possibly came at THIS time.
Given her glee at being given that task and her attitude throughout, especially when Faye told her to leave it, I dont really blame him.

I believe the reason she left was Faye was determined to keep Aaron and that was killing Jem and still does.”
Agreed.
I remain divided on the whole Faye eviction thing too. I am still gutted she lost to Louise and we lost watching her for a week, but wasn't she fantastic when she came out?! We cannot complain about that really and in hindsight it probably was the perfect time for her to go
