Me too. I had this argument earlier today - I'm not judging her on her behaviour on other shows, I'm not watching other shows, I'm watching CBB and talking about her and how she is on CBB. Just as I'm talking about Frankie, Ricky, Renee, Bear and all the others on how they are within the 4 walls of the CBB house.
That's the show I'm watching, that's the show I'm discussing.
I remember the above conversation, so who the hell knows what went on on previous shows she was on, I don't know what went on on other shows Bear was on either.
It is interesting how she's cleverly manipulated things - listening to Katie on BOTS just now, talking about being told under the sheets that Frankie was going to nominate her. Now, who does she share a bed with? Aubrey. Master game player.
The thing is, as well as being a clever game player, Aubrey has managed to remain friendly, astute (a word used on another thread to describe Bear, who has said he admires her game-playing abilities), she's shown empathy for people, she's interested in politics and was discussing them with James - she's a woman with many facets.
She may not be perfect, she showed she can be pretty ruthless and base with her spitting activity, but overall she's proven to be a very clever housemate and played the game very well. Unlike Bear, she learned her lesson from being warned and didn't (as far as we know) receive any further warnings.
For me, Big Brother is about seeing more than one side of a person - as Emma said on BOTS previously and again tonight, and Aubrey's certainly shown many facets of hers in the small amount of airtime given to her.
However she behaved on other shows, I haven't watched them and I'm not watching them now. It doesn't make any of us gullible to gauge a housemate on what we are seeing IN THE HOUSE rather than gathering information on how they were on other shows and deciding she must be that person and not the person she is in CBB - perhaps she's both! Most of us have many facets.
As a housemate on CBB she's not done a bad job, she's got to the final and never faced eviction. She's been a good housemate.
