Default The balance of negative 'bias' and not being shown at all

Look, all you folks constantly crying about how Aaron is 'hated' and how 'biased' the BB team is and how Aaron gets a 'bad edit'... Try and think a little about it.

Has it not occured to you that if BB didn't include Aaron's negative behaviour in the main show, or talk about it on BOTS, and focused on his positive side that he would have received maybe 10% of the camera time he has and wouldn't be the HM you apparently love.

In fact, you fans would probably not be fans at all.. you would probably all be saying, 'yeah, he is a nice guy, but he hasn't done much...'

Aaron has THRIVED of the 'negative' coverage of his behaviour BB have given him, appealing to the viewer's sense of 'injustice' and supposed victimisation. It has been GOOD for him.

Aaron, if BB ignored his game plans, manipulations, and conflicts, would be at best just another Freddy. A 'nice guy' only supported because he was 'bullied'.

I believe this as well, even last night with something as simple as aaron and jays "intelligent" conversations they have in the sauna showed aaron in a far better light as Jay..

Or Aaron in the swear task, he did well it has to be said even though I find it strange how these lies he told flew of his tongue so easily(had me thinking about all the other lies he's told and managed to not break stride) But it showed Jays negativity in his moaning and angst at aaron.

What annoys me though, is that bad stuff from other people isn't show... example, Jay and the freezer! The whole Aaron being blamed for the failure of the snow rescue task, when Anton was meant to rescue him coz he needed painkillers but they cut that bit out. Not showing 'watergate' in the HL show but showing a silly argument between Aaron and Faye over the burping... That is why it is biased, not because they show bad stuff, but because they show things he does but miss other important things that can make other certain housemates look bad.

this.

I so love these constant barrage of Anti Arron threads cropping up. It's so funny - this forum will be a riot come next Friday - I hope they feed the gerbils.

Perhaps we should chip in for some extra energy food for the furry wee buggars, so they've got plenty of oomph to keep forum up and running!

I've been an Aaron fan from the beginning because of the complexity of his personality..he is flawed imo and has done a few things I've not liked particularly...but that doesn't make him 'nasty ' or 'manipulative' or comparing him to a wife abuser.....streuth...he may have helped a few situations along to his advantage...I think they all have...they all have interesting personality traits which they have 'played up' for the show..that doesn't make them 'false' people...... it's is a game...if Aaron is the 'gameplayer' as people say, well that's fine with me..but it doesn't mean that everything he does is part of that game..we've still got to see Aaron the person as well as Aaron the gameplayer and overall...I can't find anything to complain about.
I do agree with the OP..I haven't really complained much about his 'bias'...I see more and more Aaron fans everyday...without the bias he may have just got a place in the final, nothing more.....with the bias....he will win....

Yep, with the perceived 'bias' he definitely has a great chance.

Without it... Freddy.

They also cut out Louise throwing a ketchup bottle at Aaron's head. The edit made it look like he was only p!ssed off about the froisties all over the house.

'Boring'.

That's the point being made.

I think the connection you are failing to make is one that is of CONSISTENCY.

One or two random acts, outwith normal behaviour, doesn't justify her not being labelled boring. She is boring, and she is consistently boring.

Even some of the housemates were/ are /have been saying the same thing.

The only 2 to have live feed (Anton & Jay) called her boring too and Alex was the most boring according to them.

You think showing her throwing a ketchup bottle at Aaron's head would mean she's not boring?

I feel you are deliberately misunderstanding me. :/

I don't think it would be a good act, but it would definitely show some spark or interesting side to her personality. It would get her talked about, it would create drama.

Fan of other HMs would criticise her, others would rise to defend her... Instead?

Nothing.

See where I am coming from?

I'd still rather have been able to make my own mind up about it though. Don't like someone else deciding what I am allowed to see and then letting me make up my mind on that narrow basis.
Cits both ways and this applies to the other HMs as well. We know from (unscripted) conversations on BBBOTS that some pretty contentious stuff from other HMs has been kept back from public consumption. Why?
Without live feed, BB is a sham of its former self and will play a very minor role (if any) in future ratings games.

They could concentrate on how quick witted he is.

"Supposed victimisation"?

He's been called a pr!ck, a scumbag, a wank*r and an abusive husband on Sh!t On The Side. The main host told a fan he should be ashamed of himself for being a fan of Aaron and on OK!TV Jeff wotshisname keeps repeating ad nauseam that he hates Aaron.

The bias in the edit is only the tip of the iceberg.

You are also assuming that he's only positive 10% of the time. Which is ridiculous considering we only get to watch 45 mins of 24 hours.

Aaron was masterful in his secret task, so why did BB wait 9 weeks to give him one and instead dish out 2 or more to the likes of Tom, Jay and Alex.

I like Aaron because he's played the game well (Freddie didn't) I also like Aaron because he comes out with great one-liners (Freddie didn't)
