Well I will try and catch an episode - but better be careful as we are talking off topic

. I've been on other threads where we've talked about all sorts of unrelated subjects to the thread subject, eg favourite ice cream flavour and such, but never seen before a warning that we're talking off topic - bizarre

I realised he was clever, funny, sensitive and he simply couldn't believe that a girl as attractive as Faye could really be interested in him. Do I get extra credit for spotting this even though all I watched were the highlights programmes and the occasional Bit on the Side?
As the time went on, the bias against him during the main programme and especially on Bit on the Side really annoyed me and I was so glad the true BB fans voted him the winner.
Were there any particular turning points for anyone here or were you all perceptive enough to spot his potential from the beginning?”
Well I thought Aaron was gorgeous instantly

but after his VT and walk to the house I thought he seemed a bit arrogant and full of himself. However, once inside the house I started to like him almost immediately, when him, Harry and Rebekhah were distancing themselves from the other housemates who were playing up to the cameras, and he was already coming out with some zingers my fascination with him began and gradually as the days went by I liked him more and more and was already voting for him on the first eviction night. I think the first week he kept his vulnerable side under wraps but I first saw signs of it when Faye was talking to him after Tashie's eviction and that really endeared me to him, as well as when they had their first date and he got all excited about it ; "Cuddly but dangerous"

!
Thankfully I watched the extra clips and read the updates on the website as well as getting the twitter updates from this thread so I got a much fuller picture of Aaron so was not fooled by the editing. Aaron has his faults but his good points outweigh his bad points

With giftgate, I thought Aaron had totally blown his chances of winning. I honestly thought Jay made the decision out of the goodness of his heart (not so sure about Lou). I did think it was pretty underhanded of them not to tell Aaron what they were going to do and give him the chance to chip in. I also thought it was much easier for Jay and Lou to decide to buy presents because of the large sum of money they were guaranteed to receive compared with Aaron's £950 and a child to support but I did not expect other people watching to look at it this way.”

On gift gate the Fb clips the dastardly duo coming out of the BR, dissing Alex and Jay even saying he would expect a Bj from Alex for spending the cash. They also commented on how selfish Alex was.H/L viewers never saw this.
The fact they went behind Aaron's back was telling.Why do that.”
Yep Lou portrayed herself as the martyr and good person who sacrificed herself to save Tom, Lou and Jay

yet no-one blamed her for putting Faye up. I don't know why Aaron didn't tell anyone of his convo with Lou in the bathroom - it would have helped his case but Aaron does not like confrontation and I think just felt the whole household was against him at that stage. I think he did eventually convince Faye that Lou put her up but Faye was too upset by the comment about him saving Alex over Faye which was not Aaron's finest moment admittedly

!
Present gate Aaron had a right to be miffed that they did not even tell him what they were going to do beforehand, and again Lou wanted to portray herself as the good person who was doing a good deed. You could see how pained Jay was with doing it, I think 100% they wanted to do it to look good with the public.

Who doesn't she trust - Anton?

It's still unfathomable but I just think Aaron was taken by surprise that Louise was savvy enough to manipulate her vote to produce a head to head with Faye. I think he genuinely thought five would be up & when it all went wrong he panicked & made an even bigger problem.
Yes it was Louise who was ultimately responsible for putting Faye up & the Devil costume plus the horrific editing & false impression of the nomination process was all designed to make Aaron the evil villain. His comment to Faye re Alex, at the time must have felt to BB like all their Birthday's had come at once?
Not sure he was hurt or upset with Faye when she said she was disappointed as she also said she wasn't annoyed ( if you believe her she thought he had just made a mistake). To me Faye was pretty clear headed & non confrontational at this point. Although perhaps your right and he was hurt by what she said and lashed out?
As for the vitriol perhaps you can point out some other instances? As the only iffy part that comes to mind seemed to occur right after Aaron's explanation. This was when Faye was sitting with Tom & Alex. She certainly gave an incorrect account of what Aaron actually said but I think I could make a far more logical excuse for this in comparison to Aaron's confusing excuse. Although I do agree this conversation was not Faye's finest moment either.
FYI. If anyone chooses to reply to this I will respond tomorrow. Night everyone”
Of course he did not expect Lou to change her vote - there is no way he would have wanted Faye to be up in a two way eviction. He also fully expected to be up as well in a five way eviction. As Faye said in her eviction interview they had to abort their nominations a couple of times (when they were sticking to the plan) as Big Brother kept telling them to re-vote as BB knew what they were up to. Faye also stressed that Louise and Aaron mucked the plan up so I am glad she mentioned Louise and realised her part in it. I personally think Aaron was thinking they won't let us vote this way and decided to go with his original plan and vote for whom he would have voted for in the first place. If Lou hadn't done what she did Aaron wouldn't have faced such flak.
Aaron should not have made the saving Alex comment over Faye but I think he was talking about Alex deserving to be in the final because she had a smile on her face all the time and was such a positive person - he separated it for his feelings for Faye on a personal level, but it just came out bad because he was on the defensive. As Faye was leaving the room he was trying to explain to her that on a personal level he put Faye first and that he was talking about the game.

X Factor was a borefest :yawn: for me this year, wasn't really inspired by any of the acts tbh and loathe as I am to say it I missed Mr Cowell's ascerbic comments - I think Misha B was the stand out act this year, however I think she was damaged by certain allegations made about her which is a real shame!
Harry and Chelsee through to the SCD final - yipee!
Oh dear - I'm going off topic again
