It is interesting that the only time the producers gave aaron a break was when Jem left. For some reason they decided to go with whoever received a vote - if they had gone with the second most voted for it would have been harry v aaron and I am not sure aaron would have managed to survive that. I think the producers knew they wanted to keep aaron at that point and that is why they did what they did. By rights they should have scrapped the whole thing and done something different (or just not bothered) but they did at least give Aaron a break that week.”
I completely agree about Harry being a big gameplayer - I think he was a bigger gameplayer than Aaron as he was his ally but was kept friendly with the Wolf pack, especially Anton, and so avoided getting nominated. The reason IMO some of the housemates turned against Aaron rather than Harry was because they were jealous of him topping the votes every time he was up. They didn't consider Harry to be a threat. With bananagate somehow they blamed Aaron as well as Harry for that when they dyed their clothes, yet Aaron had nothing to do with it and it was actually Anton that encouraged Harry to go along with it.
I think they knew there would have been an uproar from Aaron fans if they just went with a Harry/Aaron eviction. I think they should have scrapped the vote completely that week as Jem had left but they obviously wanted their revenue from the voting!!
