We could definitely give it a try

This part of this year's BB experience has been really fun for me and I'd hate to think we won't be doing it again.

Some people on twitter are asking if its all over with faye cos aaron is dancing with/on the same floor as, other girls. Its hilarious cos if you watch the vid aaron is just dancing like aaron, completely in a world of his own, he could be on the floor with monkeys and giraffes and he wouldn't be any the wiser.”

He really does seem to be enjoying a bit of a dance but of course, these people see what they want to see

Yes, that whole bit was a bit strange

The highlights watchers will have had no indication that he already knew that she had done that. Ridiculous the amount of editing that was done to them when you think about it.

Even the script has been so obviously anti Aaron it's laughable, or would be, if it weren't dealing with real people with real lives outside the show.

I agree that BOTS has a lot to answer for this year, it's done nothing but fuel anti Aaron sentiment, often by people who obviously hadn't even been watching the show. Friday's show was a prime example of the lack of care they have for the housemates. All three questions to Aaron came from people who had previously expressed extreme anti Aaron opinions, they knew exactly what they were doing. It's beyond credulity that there weren't people there who could have asked more balanced questions. I wouldn't want a fawning pro Aaron show, that wouldn't be a fair reflection of the show either, just a balanced one that respect they are dealing with a person whose just been through a nine week life altering experience.

One of the biggest changes we've had since the move to C5 is the utter contempt the have for the viewing, voting public. We chose our winner and it feels like we're being told we're wrong. The presenters on BOTS have made derogatory comments about Aaron supporters at every opportunity. The scripts have told us how to interpret housemates behaviour like never before, instead of "Aaron is sitting alone in the garden" we get "Aaron sulking in the garden for 2 hours 53 minutes". We're not stupid, we can decide why the housemates are acting a certain way. The fact that they paid Pamela Anderson as much as it would have cost them to give us LF, to do nothing for three days.The viewers seem to be the lowest of C5's priorities this series.

I've been watching BB for 11 years before C5 got there hands on it, I know how to interpret what I see. This is why I don't want to watch next year, I don't want to be told how to assess what I see with my own eyes, who is 'good' and who is 'bad'.

When the dust settles and he's had time to reflect on the experience, Aaron may have won BB but it's not the BB he thought he was entering.”

Cracking post - I argree 100%. The utter contempt they showed for us, the viewer throughout was incredible, added to the guff they subjected Aaron and also Faye too leaves a very very sour taste in the mouth.

For me it went beyond the psycological aspect of the programme and when it potentially and purposely encroaches on contestants' real lives after then for me, it is way beyond what BB should be.

(I dont know if I'm explaining that properly, but hopefully you get the jist)

I really wish I could say I wont get invested in it next year (ie not vote so not giving them any money) but I know I probably will, unfortunately

(Unless we get another BB8 or 9 and I switch off before the end

I find IACGMOOH so tired now. I dip in and out but i generally never care about who wins and who does not win.

As a Liverpool fan he is now my sworn enemy - and I want a bloody refund!!

He kept that to himself in the house didn't he? Barsteward. C5 missed a trick there if he had mentioned it in the house they could have just shown a clip of that and he would have lost half his fans in one hit.

I don't know who most of the 'celebs' are, so it becomes a bit of a BB experience for me

I think they may have also balanced out the fact that alot of aaron ans didn't like faye or his relationship with her and given she was evicted the week before alot of aaron fans turned against her. I also think alot of aaron fans couldn't give a toss whether he was playing faye or not and I also think that they factored in the "everyone i getting at aaron...let's throw him some more voted" sentiment. I think they did it for the right reasons tbh.”

I think that's stretching it a bit. I think he was just being an arse and was trying to justify himself after the event. However, I'm not going to make an issue of it.

However, this I can never forgive you for.

I'm seriously considering flouncing of the thread.

Its interesting the little bit you miss. and Its so much more entertaining when you are not stressed out. and everytime Anton slags aaron off now I laugh as opposed to wanting to throw something at him.

Thank you

i agree this year things went way beyond anything we're seen before. Beyond what can be considered reasonable by reasonable people.

We need to stand firm but it'll be hard as BB has been a big part of many of our lives for over a decade.

They are not a soap opera.

I think the hardest thing for them is that their relationship started off with them spending every minute, virtually of every day together. Living together.

Where you go from there is not exactly easy! Especially if they get hounded by folk asking for what is happening between them.

It's hard though, because when the show finishes that's it, these characters you've known for months, just mostly disappear and when you've invested in something like Aaron and Faye that's hard.

Perspective has to be kept though, they are just to people and in a few years, more than likely won't be at all famous.

Good luck to them both though. But I guess we've all just got to let them go now!”

I rather hope that they do fade into obscurity as it is the only chance they will have of making their relationship work. Look at John James and Josie last yeat I am sure that the public hounding and interest led to the demise of their relationship as they both said that they never had time to sort out their problems before another camera shoot.
Having said that the occasional little tweet or photo together will bring a certain glow to my heart

You would think that Aaron was the only one in BB for the past 9 weeks if you didnt know better.

ooh interesting - just watched the bit where Heaven decides to call them all together so they can have a conversation about what they think of each other and Heaven says something about Faye...Aaron gets quite defensive of Faye and has a little mini confrontation with Heaven. Didn't notice that first time round. (its the convo where Heaven calls aaron an onion).

It would have been so nice, if at some point they could have celebrated him, just a little.

Its like we want them to move on and not fall into the trap of being a media couple ...but at the same time we want to know what they are upto.
