What has truly irked me the most, and served to leave a somewhat bitter taste in my mouth, is the visible outcome of a rather unbalanced portrayal re: the Aaron/Faye drama. Whilst I would never negate that Faye has feelings, I feel hers have been voiced to death's door, whereas Aaron has calmly and tactfully declined to fight his own corner and not bring forth the things Faye has done/said which have equally hurt him. Nominating him, not once, but three times and directing ever increasing taunts and scornful remarks towards him, would have justified a good defence that Faye was not the only victim of emotional damage. Had these examples of Fayes conduct been ones of Aarons against her, there would have been solid evidence that her claims of being mistreated were founded. Some of the other housemates seemed to side in the knowledge that Faye was indeed the victim here. Personally, I feel this was down to Aaron's decision to deal with his feelings quietly so as to avoid any public distention.

To me, the whole outcome reeks of gender bias. Just because someone is female it does not give them an emotional monopoly. Therefore, I just feel Aaron has been given a very unfair hard time!

the even bigger picture than the one you've painted is that the only reason Aaron gets away with what he does is because he's good looking.

When Aden went into a sulk he was vilified for it, same as Jay.
