I think the attitude of the likes of Jeff Brazier, Jamie East, Brian Dowling et al just goes to show just how rattled Channel 5 are about Aaron.

There is no doubt they are very worried he could win this show. And I am absolutely delighted about that.

Aaron fans have been experiencing the most biased and unfair edits I've seen for some time in BB and a series of twists that almost specifically seemed to be targeted at him (The Crypt task, the friends and family nominations) and to be unfairly provoking him (and only him) into getting angry/walking off the show/both.

Now the last incident with the nominations is a case in point. Yes Aaron *******ed up but the reality is BB edited out some very key comments he made which made a crucial difference to viewers perception of him. And sometimes the editing has been downright perverse - Aaron (and sometimes other HMs) have been cut off mid sentence, completely changing the meaning of what was being said.

I think what this all shows is that Channel 5 know they have been sussed. People are really starting to wake up to the manipulative way that they are editing the show and of course without Live Feed (again another issue they are sensitive about as they don't want to appear wrong on their decision not to have it) noone can tell exactly what is going on in there.

I think they are really annoyed that Aaron and his fans have challenged the system in a way that they did not expect. And they simply do not know how to stop it. As we get closer to the final, I expect them to get even more blunt. I think they will change from no mention of Aaron possibly winning to "yes he could win but only because his deluded followers are mass voting" - ie in a "fair" contest, he wouldn't win.

As an Aaron fan and BB follower of several years, I have never before felt so strongly about a HM needing to win a show. Yes - it is about shoving it to the BB producers, BBOTS, Brian Dowling, Jamie East, Jeff Brazier et al. Their hypocritical outrage p****es me off.

On a personal note, I have supported 2 HMs who I believe in 2 different ways were stitched up by the BB machine when they could have won - Rex and Freddie. And the thought of it happening again is making my blood boil. I am not backing down and it seems neither are many of his fans.

Although he has undoubtedly lost a bit of support over the past few days, I still think he can win this show and I would love him to do so. It would be the biggest raspberry to the BB establishment ever. And could I think incidentally have very positive effects for the show's future. The boring bland "safe" winners might become a thing of the past which I think could be very good news indeed.

Agree, mostly. But it happens every year...they always pick their favs, and hammer their least favs. I wish they'd just get rid of those SILLY spin off shows, and give us Live Feed instead!

I agree with the post.I joined TIBB to see what the furore was after watching some episodes of BB and their spin offs, not my usual viewing. I was dumfounded by the vitriol towards Aaron. He's a competitor in a gameshow not a criminal. I've never voted in a show before and I am definately supporting Aaron. Why does the ok TV presenter want Aaron apologise, what has he supposed to have done ?

Poor old Channel 5. They thought it would be so easy to manipulate the screening and voting to their ends this year with there being no live feed. It's just not worked out the way they planned has it? They have tried every nasty, devious, malicious trick in the book to discredit a decent guy whose only crime has been to be his own man and not to bow to peer pressure. That's why we all love him! It's not exactly rocket science.
You would think that Channel 5 would want someone a bit multidimensional to win this year and break a long standing tradition of pretty nondescript, boring and uninspiring winners of Channel 4's yesteryear. That was then, this is now and all that. It would gain them more respect and give a kick start to what had become an all too predictable format.
I stopped watching BB several years ago because it became so dull but tuned in to the first night of this one out of curiosity and immediately became hooked. The choice of housemates was interesting and it all got off to a great start. But the manipulation and scheming quickly became apparent and it's now degenerated into this.
I'll be glad when it's finished - and Aaron is pronounced rightful winner. It will be a victory for decency, dignified behaviour and integrity. Bring it on!

Indeed, Aaron is supposedly so devious that he could have made the bullet change directions in the air. :shocked:

He's the only one in the house at the moment that I would actually pass as my friend. I like Alex as well but I don't relate to her like I relate to Aaron. I'm not happy that Aaron gets blamed for everything but for me, he is a reminder to myself that other socially awkward people exist.

It's funny how his fans can't even decide what he is. He's playing the game when it suits them and he's being real when it suits them :joker:

Jeeeez the poor fella must be a serial killer or something?? Bank robber? At the very least he must put puppies into binbags and throw them in the canal??
I`ve watched every series of big brother and usually the winner or at least the finalists are the ones who I`ve liked all the way through,and the ones who I like the least are the ones who are seen as the "villians"...so I see myself as a bit of a good judge of the people who go in.
As for aaron he seems to be a nice lad,well brought up with good manners etc,quite funny at times,and good tv most of the times.Sure he sulks too much,and there`s times I cringe and say "come on aaron grow up",but on the whole I like him.
But to hear to some of the hatred towards him makes me think Im watching a different show,so over the top and totally out of order,he cant win he says something nice about someone (alex) and he`s playing a game,moan at someone for burping in his face,and he`s a vile creature,no matter what he does he cant win with some people.
I`m not sure If I want him or Alex to win,but the more some of these morons hate him for no real reason the more I want him to do well!!
