That's not treating someone you care about very good. Should be telling someone how much you like them and then doing things that show you don't really care about them as you say.

She didn't just 'burp' though did she,WHY would she chose to do it down his ear!!! doesn't she realise SOME people were brought up with manners,not everyone finds this kind of behaviour acceptable.If Aaron did not like it,why should he pretend he did,just to keep the peace with her?Love someone who sticks to their principles no matter what.

It's not about pretending he liked it. He can be disgusted and annoyed with her. But you don't normal ignore a person for hours on end because of something childish they did when they were drunk. His reactions are what make him come off looking like he is using her. I don't know of anyone that has really liked someone I know and acted the way he does when something happens he doesn't like. I'd like to believe that's just the type of person he is. But at the same time, it does make it look like he isn't very interested in her when he reacts like that... which makes all his "i really really like you" talk seem like game play at times.

ps: i like aaron and think he really likes her. he's just odd and she's immature... and BB feeds them too much alcohol = troubles.

Another problem imo is that when you start dating someone in r/l, you're not living with them straight away and in their company 24/7 that has to be a bit much for anyone, surely?

It could also be said that her nominating him 3 times is not the act of someone you fancy,also Faye bringing his son into an argument,faye giving Anton a drunken grope,sorry but there are lots of things Aaron should be pissed off about,faye has often ridiculed Aaron,have not seen him to that to her,maybe his way of handling things is to shut up and think about the situation,which some see as a sulk.he was very hurt when he heard Fayes nomination of him and again with Fayes family,imo Aaron would do much better to steer clear of both those sisters.

He cant tell her to s*d off so his way of dealing with her is to remove himself from the situation or any situation in the house he doesnt like.

Maybe people think all his speaking, not speaking is mind games

I've read this thread and everything I've read has added to my personal conclusion that Aaron is an undiagnosed person with Asperger's Syndrome. They often come over as odd, but only because thy don't display the same reaction to things as ordinary people do.

He's not responding to social cues as people would expect. Watch his eye contact, he does less eye contact when he's under stress or in confrontation and to cap it all, the conversation that first got me thinking about it was when he was telling Harry about his obsession with Lego; how he gets excited when a new Lego set comes out and has a whole room of made up Lego models.

His reaction to the burp is classic undiagnosed Asperger's behaviour. If he had been diagnosed, the chances are he would have learnt that an ordinary person wouldn't have reacted in that way, but as it is, it wouldn't occur to him to modify his reaction. He's probably just as confused at Fayes inability to understand his reaction as everyone else is about his apparent over reaction.

I do hope he stays in because I'm going to be watching him in a different light now.

As I've mentioned quite a few times, I have never really been a fan of Aaron's.
I find his moodiness and sulks unbearably annoying.
I do think that he has played a game by trying to make himself look like some sort of victim, not a bullying victim, but a "victim" in the sense that he whinged so much about how "dreadful" and "horrific" some of the other housemates are, and how he was just a poor, innocent, "nice" guy who had to put up with living with them all.
I think this was a game and a bit of an act, because I think he played just as big a part in trying to wind up Jay and Anton, but then as soon as they reacted, he would use it as some sort of false proof of what horrible people they were, and went to moan about it in the diary room, whilst acting like a completely innocent party in it all.
At first he had no interest in making peace with Jay, or trying to get along better - as was Jay's suggestion, until he heard all the cheers that Jay got the first week he was up. He suddenly started speaking properly again with Jay after that. I know he did nominate him again after that, but he was much nicer about him, and said that he was getting on better with him etc.
They've had their rivalries for sure, but Jay also seems to be trying his best to comfort Aaron after this nominations twist, so is clearly not the horrible human being that Aaron tried to make him out to be.

Regarding Faye and Aaron, I never really thought too much about whether it was a fake or real relationship. I just found them very annoying with all their bickering, and found both of their moody strops and sulks headwrecking to watch.
When I first heard of this twist I thought it was going to be absolutely awesome. I still think it was a really cool twist idea in theory, but the way it panned out just doesn't seem right to me.
It was unfair that two of the closest people to Jem got to vote, her mum and her boyfriend. It would have been fairer if it had just been one of them, but because it was practically two people connected to the person who likes him least, it was basically like Jem got to have 2 votes and give Aaron 2 nominations instead of 1.
I know that anyone they got for Faye would probably also be linked to Jem, that is one problem with having family in there together I guess. It just might have been fairer if they got one of Faye's mates to nominate instead of her Mum, who was going to side with Jem.

For the first time in the entire series I actually felt really, really, sorry for Aaron. His face and reaction to what was being said seemed like genuine disbelief to me. His fear both in the diary room where he felt like his reputation was in tatters for being falsely accused of leading on or using a young girl like Faye, his hands shaking in the garden. His very pained expression when he went to talk to Faye in the bathroom, and he just didn't know what to say to fix things. He just seemed completely genuinely crushed and heartbroken about the whole thing, and very very fearful that he is being portrayed as horrible to Faye on the outside.

So yes I think he definitely a gameplayer in alot of ways, but after watching all of his reactions to this twist, I think they were genuine shock, and that it was very unfair for him to be targeted so much by such accusations over Faye.
He is unbearable and completely ridiculous at times, such as sulking over the burping, and frosted flakes fight etc. I would dump someone like him in a heartbeat. However despite these things, I think he does hold some sort of affection for Faye, and think that the harsh accusations about his treatment of Faye are unfounded.

I actually think this could possibly work in Aaron's favor vote wise. As someone who normally can't stand him (apart from when he is being witty), I actually really felt for him tonight, and softened towards him slightly. Maybe some other people who are not Aaron fans will feel some sympathy for him too. (I know he has a huge fanbase anyways already so will probably be safe regardless)

I feel the same, my feelings towards him have changed recently

Does anyone else wonder whether the relatives have voted for Aaron, not for the reasons they gave, but because he is so popular? In that targeting him would make their own relatives/friends have a better chance of winning? Aaron now thinks he is unpopular outside when the reverse is true. It would be a shame if he was forced out because of this twist.
