Me too, baffling isn't it? It is like this whole group of people I don't understand! I noticed Jem is following Nicola McClean on twitter, WTF I was starting to think it was me, so I wondered back in from the wilderness and found my way back here, madness and togetherness

it' a complete mystery to me given his numbers and popularity. It was insulting the viewer at every turn given that the majority of us loved Aaron - its like they were saying we clearly didn't know our own minds. Its rare to witness such blatant disregard for viewer choice imho.

Even towards the end the teasing is just about being in the cool gang! She is younger and not as secure as him. Hopefully it would be something she'd grow out of, but it was my biggest bugbear with her. I do wish she'd just said "shut up I like him"

I think it was because she didn't feel secure or trust the other hm's as much as Aaron, so needed to fit in. With Maisy she did feel secure enough. There was one time where Maisy was discussing how his kissing turned her off and faye cut her off from saying anything else bad by saying she really liked him, with strong eye contact, and that imo was her way of telling Maisy to stop it. Maisy was the only one she ever trusted and felt secure enough with to strongly cut in when Aaron was the subject!

Thing is the further on you go the less she joins in. The white task when she looks at him shows you she didn't mean any of the p1ss taking she'd been doing with Tom.

I really do think the more anti-Aaron Jem got the more Faye trusted her own instincts.

EDIT: IMO I don't think they are close at all, love each other YES, Know one another NO.

Thing is tho, it backfired on them spectacularly because it just made us all all the more determined to see him survive and ultimately win.

Of course you could say that that was their whole idea to get us to vote for him more

That initself annoys the life out of me, but we had to do it

Although I agree that a lot of us voted numerous times I am convinced Aaron was way ahead of all the others.

Just finished watching Faye's eviction, i'll watch the day after faye's eviction then i'll start again watching from the beginning, i wonder how Faye and Aaron has gotten on buying furniture, i wonder if they've killed each other yet lol.

Not surprisingly I'm livid! Have just finished the noms! Reaction to come!

In actual fact it was an amazing episode for Aaron and Faye! I'm in tears now, was in tears then and it made me admire the both of them even more by how they reacted to it all!

Oh Lisa, cheer up, you better watch a few more eps before you go to bed

They cut out all Jem's whooping as well!

OT. Does anyone know who is with Mark on his thumbnail on his twitter account?

Very shady

Emma Willis.

Thank you, was he quite tall? She looks tiny and I thought she was quite tall 5'8'' ish?

I'm beginning to wonder if they didn't treat this whole series as a type of experiment to see how much they could manipulate viewer voting with the edit. I don't know if it's true but there's a lot of talk on various forums about production being able to manipulate the voting for contestants on shows like X Factor and American Idol if they make them more likeable/sympathetic in their weekly VT's .

Maybe Ch5 and Endemol thought they had the perfect opportunity to see if they could do the same with BB, especially as they had banned live feed and could pick and choose what they showed us. I really think they were testing the waters to see what behaviour/relationships lessened or increased the support of a HM as the vote to save really changed the whole dynamic of the show and gave the power to the supporters rather than the haters. Imho of course

Interesting post. I have also heard of people being unhappy with the IAC HL's, favouring particular Zelebs.

I think this year AAron fans pretty much ruled who stayed and who went most weeks. I think if I had not liked Aaron it would have seriously irritated me as a viewer. the only time I think when Aaron fans didn't have some sort of input was the week heaven faced rebeckah - and even then I think alot may have voted to evict reb cos of how she was with aaron.

I think with more casual viewers then production may have got their way. However I think all that was left this year was hard core BB fans who were online and knew what was gong on most of the time. I think if they want to really manipulate then they need to get rid of online presence next year.

I am interested to see what happens with IACGMOOH because I am not watching but I am intrigued as to how much power the McFly fans have. If Dougie fails to win it might be worth having a bet on someone other than Harry to win Strictly.

Complete supposition on my part, but as Faye had lived with Gemma for a while, maybe subconsciously she just knew that she didn't want the type of relationship Gemma has with her boyfriend and so didn't take her feelings re Aaron very seriously. I know there are some of my friends who I wouldn't listen to for a moment re what man was better for me as I'd rather be stranded on a desert island with Paul McCartney than spend an hour alone with their BF's. (I can't stand P McC btw )

Might be worth having a 'gander' on the IAC forum

Me too, knob! Yes I just don't think they 'connect' in that way. Jem was very keen on reminding the viewer about Faye's past mistakes also

Chelsee and Alex are worth a punt imho.

i might - but in my experience the forums aren't a great guide when it comes to IACGMOOH cos they have more main stream viewers and more casual viewers. I will have a look though.

I agree re Chelsee - not so sure about Alex. (maybe that is because I cannot stand her!!)

This is what faye says to Aaron after hearing the F&F noms:


At the time we probably all assumed they just meant carry their relationship on. She was very hesitant and careful when she started saying it though so I'm now convinced that they had made plans for outside as far back as F&F noms!
