On Twitter. This is the most attention the show has seen in ages

Edit- 32k tweets mentioning Joel

Pathetic they had to do this to garner attention though! They could and should have called Aaron to the DR sooner, no they waited.

Job done then

In their defence I think they stepped in at the right time

Really? I think they left it awfully long, after the first second time I would have told him to come to the DR, seemed too go on a while to me.

Is he getting support?

They removed Aaron knowing this would happen, coupled with the four in four out. They needed to increase media publicity due to an email from the C5 director. They pulled out all the stops to do this, due to the severity of the ratings.

Of coarse they could but no they let him carry on making it worse.

Yes seems to be mainly. Haven't seen any Aaron support as of yet

Some past housemates opinions
Gerry BB8
@GerryGreek: #Joel was not being homophobic.
If a girl was chased by a naked guy that would had been more sexual harassment? Aaron was out of order!#BBUK

Matthew BB15
@MatthewDavies__: Aaron's behaviour tonight was horrendous. I've been in Joel's position before and its not nice. I hope the interrogation stops here. #BBUK

Aislyene BB7
@Aisleyne1: Harriet is a fukn prick in this situation too! I'm so disappointed in Aaron poor poor Joel 😡😐 @buck

Mark BB15
@MrMarkByron: Every scene between Aaron and Joel makes me so so uncomfortable. It seems so inappropriate poor Joel

Luke BB9
@LukeMarsden: He seems like a nice guy but he did a stupid thing on national TV and now he'll be remembered for that for at least ten mins #BBUK

Dan BB14
@danpneal: Absolutely the right decision to eject. If it was a guy doing that to a girl there would be no question #bbuk

James Jordan CBB14
@The_JamesJordan: Very mixed opinions on the Aaron exit...

Now imagine a MAN doing that to a 19 year old GIRL. Would that be acceptable???

#BBBOTS #BBUK

That's it exactly.

Agree with all of these.

Glynn BB7
@GlynWise: Watching #bbuk on 5+1 and really feel for Joel! If he doesn't want 2 kiss someone he doesn't have to! annoyed with them for pushing him 2do

BB doesn't remove HMs unless the person on the receiving end if it shows they are uncomfortable. Up until Joels DR entry, Aaron was staying.

I agree,if Joel was comfortable it then it would be a different story

Which is shameful in itself tbh.

This.

I have to agree with all of those comments. I feel bad that Arron has gone. He went over the top in a drunken stupor, but he went too far and made Joel uncomfortable. I am pretty angry that none of the other housemates defended him. They laughed and encouraged. Arron
Bad form.

thanks for posting. amused at matthew's, of course he's been in joel's position before, probably on a nightly basis.

Aaron was wrong, Joel was uncomfortable, but in no way does it make me dislike Joel any less than I did yesterday.

Joel had every right to express his discomfort with the situation, he can't be held at fault here however I still think the punishment was a bit to much.

It's always been like that though. A handful:

- BB9. Alexandra not removed until Rex went into the DR
- BB9. Dennis. You could obviously see Mo was disturbed. However in this case, I think Dennis would have been removed anyway.
- BB14. Daley. Hazel comes into the DR, BB then reacts
- CBB15. Both Jeremy and Ken.

I wonder, if in BB15, Winston complained about Bianca's advances, she'd have also been in big trouble.

The only time the theory doesn't fit is Pantsgate in CBB9 when Karissa was crying over it but Denise stayed.

Harriet was the worst, forget about her pushing Aaron in his direction, but she also lead Joel to the corner and picked up a pair of "girly looking" clothes and asked Joel to out it on, which I found a bit dodgy. It was like they were taking the piss out of Joel's potential different sexual orientation. Just me? It just felt uncomfortable. I saw a lot of the HMs laughing, but were where Eileen and Cristian, had a feeling they weren't laughing.
