Evening. 
Thought Aaron and Faye did great in their interviews today. And the photos in Star were nice and fun too, very relaxed. they're very natural and realistic about their situation. Perhaps they have the benefit of taking heed of their own previous relationships as much as previous BB couples.
Should say, I've only seen the scans. I haven't actually bought them...yet. I haven't bought any magazine of any description since March.
In regard to the whole Richard Desmond thing, I remember being party to a conversation with Josie while her and John James were in the middle of filming for There's something About Josie. She revealed feeling a great deal of pressure to go along with things as the show was on Channel 5, which was owned by Desmond, which tied in with OK! Magazine she had a deal with along with her new job on OK!TV. That pressure played a huge part in their split as it fuelled the pressure put on them to "perform" as a couple. There's actually a part of me that feels a degree of guilt for being part of the fanbase that fuelled the demand. I would've been just as happy for them to walk off into the sunset together but I nonetheless bought the magazines and supported their media appearences (if truth be told I was loathe to buy OK! Magazine but my JJJ support pushed me on. I didn't but the one that featured their final split interview). The day that conversation with Josie happened they both looked shattered.
I'd be very happy for Aaron and Faye not to get caught up in a similar situation. I want them to feel free to pursue something in the media if they wish to without the ties of such an all emcompassing contract like Josie had. If there's a reason for her turning her back on fame it's because her deal with Desmond/Channel 5 has left her with menial experience and little professional prospects rather than a desire to move to the country.
It's already been mentioned but I have to say, after hearing him on Gemma Cairney's 1Xtra show (interesting to hear she was no longer a BB fan as she used to the BB Radio Show that ran during BB9) I think Aaron would do very well on radio if he chose to give it a go. He has that verbal sharpness that a lot of broadcasters need to keep the listeners hooked. Most BB contestants, especially the winners, are encouraged to get into TV but radio could actually really suit him.
