No Tour, thats not right at all. It is false, by definition.

The fact that Aaron has obviously adopted the bumbling Hugh Grant nervous gent persona to go into that house with, the one so at odds with the man who auditioned and the man who plays the house and public with such confidence, is obviously being furiously rationalised by his supporters here, but the fact remains the man we are seeing is obviously not the man that exists in the real world.

But then he has tried to get in 4 times and studied this game, so I guess he knows which personality type the public will best respond to.

Vesavius.....the audition tapes are a one minute long snapshot designed purely to sell themselves as a means of getting into the house....thats all. Weigh that one minute against all the hundreds of hours he has spent in there.

So you reconcile it by denial that the Aaron you don't like is the false one, and the one you do like is the true one?


And, like I say, it IS more then possible (and actually very common) to live under a constructed false personality for extended periods, especially when that personality is built around regularly removing yourself from the social group. The popular thought that no one can do this is pretty much a myth.

I like Aaron.....I didn't find his VT to be that dissimilar to who he is in the house. Who said anything about disliking the "false" one? You are the one that's decided the REAL Aaron is the one in his VT when IMO they are both the same

I guess then you also fall into the "Or do you actually believe he is this Hugh Grant type of nervous gent he pretends to be?" category
