I agree with Josie about Aaron. Hated how he would run through the full list of his rivals in the garden or diary room and point out to the public what was wrong with them - even Faye and Alex. I can see why some of John's fans are happy to have some kind of substitute but to me Aaron is nothing like John. John would never have done that.
I also hated how he dragged down the whole atmosphere of the house. Even when he was upbeat you would be waiting for him to go into the next sulk as surely as night follows day.
However, I think it is good for Josie that Aaron won. Because he isn't very likeable she can wear her crown for so much longer.”
It is funny how differently we all see things from a 45 min show, but that's the beauty of individual taste and opinion

I think this year's show was a great indicator that Live Feed is needed so that you can see what's really going on, and get to know all of the HMs more.
When he was in a strop he reminded me of John a bit I have to admit - how everybody was on tenterhooks when John was deciding whether to throw the wedding task, I remember how HM's used to practically tip-toe around him if he was angry or didn't want to make him angry, just a few small things that resonated with me when watching Aaron. Mind you, Aaron's also very different - doesn't swear, doesn't argue/confront, very different in that way for sure. However, I certainly wasn't using him as a 'substitute' for John... not sure quite what that means really, as John wasn't somebody in my life that I would need to substitute - barring filling time discussing him online, along with other HM's; he's just a contestant on a reality show that I follow, same as John and Josie were (but less involved

)
It was quite funny this weekend; there is always so much TOWIE talk on my timeline, I have never watched an episode until Saturday afternoon - it was all that was on

, funny to see what all the hoo-hah is about - was rather like a scripted Big Brother for the pampered
