Even if he came across more confident, everything he said was spot on.

Great post

Shaaron is highly intelligent and pretty much keeps his principles high in the house. The big thing that lets him down (thus giving Harry the edge) is that he is an Amazing Sulk - however, he is exactly the same in the house as he is in the V.T.

He is playing the game exceedingly well - and everyone who goes in there IS playing a game. I have never understood why some people get upset and label Housemates game players - nor have I ever understood the staunch and proud claims 'I have been myself' - who else could they be?

Imagine someone going in saying 'I am not going to be myself I am going to be Winston Churchill and tomorrow I am going to give Robbie Williams a go' - how silly would that be?

I hope Shaaron and Harry (not Tom or D***head) are up as the final 2. Otherwise Channel 5 will have won a pyrrhic victory and no-one will watch next year.

I don't even know why people seem to think he's "outed" himself as a ladies man on his VT.

Here he is talking about pulling with Faye on day 11.

VT's are nothing, but probably BB telling them to big themselves up for a more interesting tape. Infact a lot of VT's you can quite clearly see where they jump from one part to another, so some stuff can easily be taken out of context if we are not seeing the full VT.

Aaron's is not the only VT that will differ slightly from him in the house, there are other housemates in there. Plus look at some of the past housemates VT's and tell me how many of them reflected the housemates in the house. Poor try to dig at a housemate because of their VT's.

And as I don't need to give my reasons for liking Aaron, as I have given plenty before in other threads/posts, I will exit this thread now

Infact I would say he's one of the few who has actually remained pretty true to their VT

As much as Aaron annoys me I would have to agree. Him and Alex are probably most like the way they portrayed themselves in their VT's.

Cleverly he's not gone on and on about his game playing to the viewers so the game player tag went to Anton. If Aaron's caught game playing more obviously we can't say 'Oh look the mask has slipped' as he told us he wasn't going to be 100% truthful in first place. Good game play from him.

I think maybe you have misundertood...In order for his gameplay to work (which is to persuade the viewers into voting to save him)it is imperative that he deceives you into liking him,otherwise it hasn't worked...A vast tract of the public are voting to save him,not because they think he is playing a 'clever' game,but because ultimately,he has fooled them into believing that.

If everyone else - and I mean every single housemate I've ever seen - turned out to be even bit like their VT, then I'd say Aaron was playing a game. As it is, every one of them talk absolute b*ll*cks on their VT, and Aaron was no different.

[alex_front2]

Let's be honest, Faye's VT was worse 'oh, I am so sexy and good looking all the other girls will be jealous and hate me, as girls always hate me as I'm sexy and funny etc' Cut to <much prettier> Louise starring in disbelief. But of course, Aaron is the most talked about HM so he's getting all the discussion on this!

LOL yeah... No Faye, mostly girls hate you because you're an arrogant, vacuous, immature, whiney little b****.

Totally agree with you Vicky.

[tweetypiebabe1]

Aaron's a game player, end of, and a much better one than Anton.

People forget what he was like in the first week, what he said in his VT, what he set out to do with Rebeckah and Louise. I still think he's playing a game but I don't think he's playing a heavy one with Faye, what I mean by that is I think he's genuinely interested in her. How much? That I don't know but he is.

He's made no bones about it to the public he's been there to play a game from day one and I appreciate his honesty like that, it's what the games about.

Not a flame, genuinly interested in how people rationalise the Aaron that he is pretending to be with the real one that obviously lies underneath.

Do Aaron fans need to reconcile these two supposedly different characters? I don't just like one type of person in life!

Surely it would be possible to like the on-screen, HM Aaron and also the VT Aaron, admiring the game-playing and acting abilities of the latter should it transpire that the former is not 'real'?

I am not convinced the discrepancy between the two is as extreme as you perceive it to be but if so I'll certainly give him his due if he pulls it off.

Probably because they have decided they like him and not being a "fickle Fan" as i heard someone term it means denial of blame, any blame, all blame, even blame which is deserved.

Well on his VT he said he was a ladies man yet one of the first things he did was stick his tongue down Tom's throat pretending he was interested in that way.

I would not be suprised if it is not a replay of Jen and Dale. Where Jen was said to be separated from her husband, she made the money and took it back to him.

Couldn't give a stuff about all that.

Simply put, he's the most entertaining housemate this year. Imo.

Oh give over, Aaron and Tom kissed during a game nothing more or less, the fact is he wasn't much different from his VT from what he's been in the house, but the people who dislike him are going to jump on his VT and try use it against him because they have nothing else to slate him for.

[flamingGalah!]

Everyone over exaggerates their personality in their VT, they are trying to get in the house... So I don't think anyones auditions should be held against them...
