There are a couple of surface similarities between Aaron/Faye and Helen/Paul; both were genuine, slow-burning romances between an attractive couple, but, beyond that, the two stories are poles apart.

Helen was a real sweetheart of a Welsh girl- imagine a ditzier, lovelier, cuter, dumber version of Alex, while Paul was a good looking, socially inept, vain but ultimately good natured lad. Their romance was complicated by the fact that she had a massive rugby player boyfriend on the outside - Big G - who she mentioned less and less as the series progressed and she and Paul slowly inched closer together. There was a sweetness and lightness to their courtship- they would talk in laughably transparent "code" to each other- and a real will-they-won't-they drama to them. It was cute and touching.

Aaron and Faye are two more rounded, adult and complicated individuals. Their courtship has been as inevitable as Paul and Helen's, but the forces and emotions at play have been the most primal ones there are: attraction, jealousy, fear, betrayal and lust. There has been real hurt inflicted by both of them on each other, and they are having to face and overcome the scariest and most private aspects of their nature because the force bringing them together is irresistible.

Paul and Helen was a Disney romance. Disney makes you feel good and warm inside, it's wholesome and familiar and comforting. Aaron and Faye are something new for BB- a proper adult, passionate love affair; this is romance, red in tooth and claw. In terms of intensity, it is on a whole different level.

Have you ever wrote a novel, that was brilliantly put.

What a great post chris.

I loved watching Paul and Helen for their innocence but for me Aaron and Faye win the award for best BB romance ever. I love the intensity of their relationship, the passion and the highs and lows.

As housemates Aaron will always be my favourite and if it came to it I would vote to save him over Faye BUT given a choice I would keep them both in until the end because I just love watching them together.

They've gone from "I quite like you" (day 6) "I do like you" (day 23) to "I really like you" (day 26), then, in last night HLs, Aaron upped it to "I really really really like her".

Anyone noticed how they're running out of "really"s?

They must have used them all up during their "really" moment

Really really like you is just about as close as an admission of the L word, I doubt either of them will say it in there though but, I am happy to be proved wrong.

I wish Aaron hadn't told Faye he was never going to make her cry again. Not even Faye looked as though she believed that.

They are bound to have their ups and downs in the remaining time they have and it's obvious Faye is very emotional.

Awwwwwwwww! I think it's so sweet Aaron said that!

Yeah, having listened back to this clip carefully, I was wrong, she does say "fall for you" not "love you". It's the big remaining question - if BB are at all interested in pursuing it - will they get to "I love you" before the cameras stop rolling? They've both taken the red pill; how deep does the rabbit hole go... The danger is, now that there's very little chance of them breaking up again, that BB will ignore them, concluding that the drama's over. The HLs have not bothered with their intimate talks under the covers, and they don't feature in the clips both because they happen too late at night, and they need transcribing and subtitles, which the clips don't have.

I would imagine that the production team's next move will be to engineer a physical separation :yawn: to see how they cope. A cheeky, but I think better, idea would be to see who knows Faye best: Aaron or Jem? Not in terms of facts or history, but more in terms of how she feels about certain things...

Me too Yes, he may cause her to cry again at some point, but it was worth saying something significant to her, and that hit the mark

I think it's so sweet the way they are using each other's catchphrases. Faye uses "Oh dear" quite a lot now and Aaron with "poppet" which Faye uses a lot. When Jem caught them snogging and then said she wanted to talk to him he said "sit down poppet"

I liked that too.

I'm guessing that by asking him whether he respects Faye, Jem was really saying "You better not be thinking of trying to have sex (of any sort) with my sister on national TV"?

Mind you, wasn't it her who mentioned sucking the other day, much to Faye's horror.

Most of the Aaron fallouts have been caused both directly and indirectly by Faye,

1st Kissing Maisy upset Faye so badly he wanted to leave.

2nd Faye hanging all over Anton

3rd The burp

4th The frosted flake saga.

Also he had the chat with Tom and Harry about his percieved inadequacies, this stemmed from Faye asking him to build up muscles and her hoped skiing job.

Faye also remarked he had become jealous of her wearing Jays jacket.

I dont see why there should be anymore bumps in the road, it know looks like they have a good understanding of each others true feelings.

To be fair, I think we can also say they were caused directly and indirectly by Aaron[LIST=1][*]He went and kissed Maisy after failing to read her (pretty obvious) signals that she liked him[*]In Faye's eyes, he backed away from her after kissing her (understandably trying to prevent another Maisy fiasco, but it left her confused and uncertain). Her making a fool of herself with Anton was an inept way of provoking a reaction from him to discover how he felt[*]The burp fallout was due, partly, to him having put her on a pedestal - the perfect jigsaw puzzle (plus probably some jealousy that she was doing it with Jay et al)[*]The frosted flake saga was, as you said, a smokescreen for his jealousy over seeing Jay protectively give her his jacket at night[/LIST]Of course, that's what's made them so interesting. Both have been, at times, terrible to each other due to a mixture of reserve, jealousy and insecurity. Neither has wanted to expose their vulnerabilities to the other - leading to comically disastrous decisions - but they've had to, to get to the point they're at now.

Did you see the video clip where Faye was in the bath and they were talking about ghosts?

Faye gave Aaron a bit of a ticking off for laughing at her for believing in them. I think she was probably within her rights to do so. We didn't see his reaction. I'm assuming that he took it on board with good grace and humour.

If they can keep on doing that, then you may be right.

I think it's going to be tough for them to avoid any arguments though. I can't see BB or HMs like Anton and Tom allowing them an easy time.

Edit: I don't think there's much point in trying to attribute blame for their previous ups and downs at this stage, so I won't comment on that part of your post. .

I saw that and thought Aaron shut up.

You are of course right, I should of blamed them jointly for being so stupid. saying that it cant be easy in there never knowing who is playing a game.

I think a lot of these fallouts weren't even about Faye. Aaron's sulk when Faye was all over Anton was primarily down to his disgust at Jay's joke. He didn't even know about the Anton thing for most of his sulking so I'm not sure that was really an example of him being down with Faye even though Faye read it as such.

Again, the frosties thing was more about his disgust with the group in general. The fact that Faye was involved made it worse but his sulk at that point was primarily about being disgusted by the antics in the house rather than by Faye.

The burp thing, wasn't about the burp, I don't think. He had hid under the stairs because he was upset with the group's uncouth behaviour in general. Faye's burp was the last straw but he was already ready to hide away even before that. When Faye confronted him I don't think he was entirely serious in his argument with her until she brought up what she'd already been planning, which was to suggest they just be friends for the duration of their stay. I think he was quite hurt by that suggestion because that's not what he wanted hence why the discussion got heated.

Faye and Aaron are at the top of the BB romance scale. There have been romances in that house which are cute and based around friendship, and some that have been downright showmances, although im normally a sucker for a love story

But 'Faaron' are my favourite BB couple in a long time. They don't just show attraction and a strong need to care for eachother (did anyone else see Aaron's face when Faye was saved second last week? ) but they show passion like pretty much no other BB couple ever have.

It's the whole 'will they/wont they' romance with a twist of two extremes - such as the 'store room moment' the other day and the burpgate incident. When they are together, they are really together, but when they're not...

for some reason, BB's not trying to save Faye as much as they are Anton, which seems insane to me. They should be protecting the couple, just for the purpose that they are what the public want to see, but by givine Jay and Aaron the option to 'change nomiations this week' (whatever that means), i recon we'll end up with Faye against Jay... and Faye will go.

Faye beat Jay in a vote to save last week why couldn't she do so again this week? Particularly since a lot of Aaron supporters would be voting for her this week who would have been concentrating on Aaron last week.

I wouldn't like to put it to the test but it's far from a foregone conclusion that she'd go against Jay.

Aaron and Faye are the only couple I've ever liked. I've occasionally liked one half of a couple but never both before.

I'm really enjoying the contrast between Jay/Louise and Aaron/Faye.

I don't think BB will want to lose any of them this week.

Nice post, at this moment in time I dont think the produers have a clue what they are doing, if they try to get Faye and Aaron up together that would be incredibly stupid, these shows are supposed to attract a bigger audience as possible not alienate the viewers.

There again maybe they have money on the winner and its neither of these two.
