I still think that at the moment, Aaron had a worse time of it overall..but this included the ridiculous editing (that at times spliced together his convos and totally took everything out of context) and being labelled a woman beater on BOTS and such.

For sheer amount of **** thrown at them INSIDE the house though...not taking into account everything else, I don't recall anyone else who has had it as tough as Jason.

I said in another thread its kinda like the producers are standing back constantly prodding him with a large stick in the hope he will eventually snap...

They will keep doing it until the end of the show. It's a disgrace!

you know what it reminds me of? a shackled big old bear being jabbed with electric cattle prods to make it dance for the crowd's entertainment ... and always in the background there's that obscene frisson of fear that the bear might break his bonds and run amock

Good analogy tbh. I think Jason himself sees this too which is why tonight he was blocking the cameras, and previously when its all got too much he has refused to stand in view of the cameras.

I don't understand why they would want to do this though? Punishment for evicting the favourite to win maybe? It can't be that though as if they were that bothered they would have made up a twist to bring her back. His refusal to play along with their matchmaking with him and Charlie maybe? Just for the fun of it?

Hell I like the guy but I don't support him as such and don't think he would be the best winner (he is my 4th, behind Andy, jayne, Hughie) but I can see they are just taking the piss out of him and can't imagine how he actually feels, or his fans tbh

when I went back and rewatched BB12 last summer (god knows why I did that, but that's besides the point), I made a point to watch BOTS to see if Aaron really was mistreated like myth says and I didn't really see anything outrageous at all lmfao. They bent over backwards to justify the Maisy kiss because Faye should have done something if she actually liked Aaron (even though she already took him on a date and pretty much told him that she likes him), and the studio audience that supposedly had it out for Aaron every single day erupted into cheers and applause when they phoned his brother and he trashed Jem and said she's to blame for everything. The entire final week of BOTS was pretty much people saying that they don't even want to express any thoughts on Aaron that could be perceived as negative because it's just easier to not say anything than deal with the backlash from his fans.

I don't know, maybe some substance is lost when you rewatch a series but I found nothing unfair about how Aaron was treated.

From memory, the BOTs treatment was ridiculous. The only thing that stands out to me now though as it was a while ago was that Nicola Mclean woman going on about how he was an abusive spouse..and being encouraged to carry on...there was more than that as I remember actually stopping watching BOTs due to the bias. It didn't start immediately, it was in the last 4/5 weeks IIRC..or when it became clear he was massively popular among viewers.
