The trouble is most people just watched the highlights and saw a negative representation of Aisleyne. If Aisleyne did prosper from the editing, it would have been because people thought she was being unfairly treated. I gather that a similar thing happened to Rachel Rice in BB9.
Aisleyne was second favourite because of a story that appeared in the red tops stating that Aisleyne was ahead in the vote. I suspect that Pete and Glyn were always ahead but the producers, always looking at their profit line, started a rumour that Aisleyne was ahead in the vote to 'encourage' Pete and Glyn fans to vote even more.

You say that people got a negative representation of Aisleyne. I disagree. The highlights showed the following incidents:-

a. sticking up for Michael when Richard called Michael a 'she';
b. calming down a row between Spiral and Jennie;
c. her comic turn of sticking 50 Malteasers in her mouth.

These and other incidents showed Aisleyne in a positive light.

Obviously, there were incidents that Aisleyne deservedly got lambasted for:-

a. flirting around with Pete in front of Nikki on her return from HND;
b. recounting a conversation she had with Grace to Mikey during the first spin-the-bottle where Grace was embarrassed by Mikey joining in with the game and Grace stated that she would '...not take Mikey home to meet her mother';
c. her behaviour over being labelled the top 'Mach' in the house with just ridiculous.

And BB did not show on the highlights show her taking advantage of an 18 year old boy by flirting with him during the weekend before final nominations just so she wouldn't be up for eviction. If the general public has seen that then she would have not been very popular at all.
