As far as Aaron is concerned, I think for all the accusations of him being somehow fake because he's 'playing a game' (as others have said, if you're on a gameshow, playing a game is quite a good idea), his reaction to Harry leaving was totally genuine.

It is a shame that people cannot accept that just because someone is able to play a game it doesn't mean that everything they do is phony.

From what he said on BOTS, it seems Harry should be included in the group who don't entirely grasp that fact. Whilst it may be strategically good to have a relationship in the house, I think that Aaron probably does have some real and confusing (because they're real!) emotional stuff going on inside about Faye.

As for the "I love you" thing, Harry may be right that it would be "good for a few more votes" but it went out after lines closed tonight. The BB-obsessed master-strategist that Harry has painted Aaron as being would surely have worked out that such a late-night utterance would go out at the end of a highlights show, which on a Friday night would be after voting had finished!

Or maybe he just said it because he felt it...ooh, I'm so radical!

You seem to be covering all the bases there, ultimately you are questioning Harry's perception of Aaron, and to do that you need to criticize Harry, and Gem, and Gems mum.

Also if you think he was genuine in telling Faye he loves her, how do you explain a contra statement not 24 hours earlier when he said he did not see a future for them to BB. Truth is you can't in all sincerity. Nor can you deny the impact of Harry's confessions tonight in all sincerity.
