One of the best posts I have read in quite a long time.

If I was on Big Brother and had a plan to win, I think firstly I'd do my best to get on with all my other housemates so that I'd avoid nominations and cruise through to the final and along the way try to endear myself to the public by being funny, entertaining and likeable (errrm, Alex anyone?)

Sounds sensible doesn't it?

So lets look at Aaron. What's he done to endear himself to his housemates and the viewers?

Be constantly moody and sulky.
Don't be a team player.
Pretend to fancy some housemates and then make them jealous by snogging someone else.
Deliberately fail tasks when your Housemates are desperate for food.
Get together with a girl 10 years younger than you and then keep falling out with her and upsetting her and ignoring her (that will endear him to all the female viewers and parents out there!)

Do all of the above to get yourself nominated every week, with the slim hope that the viewers might save you because you have a dry sense of humour and say "crikey" and "oh Dear" a lot.

Somehow, incredibly, it turns out the public do take to you and you realise you are actually quite popular when you keep coming first in the weekly votes to save.

So what do you do? Sit back confidently and continue to make your dry quips and amusing mannerisms to cruise through to the final?

Oh no! That would be too easy. Instead when you realise you've won the public over and everyone left is finally friends and getting along great and can't bring themselves to properly nominate anyone coz you're all good mates, you save the best till last, and dressed as the devil, you betray all your friends and girlfriend and give the public the best reason possible to hate you and change their minds about you with a week to go!

What a brilliant game plan Aaron! Not! His gamepan if he has one is suicidal! If he is following a plan it is surely the worst plan in history since Baldrick tied a piece of cheese to his nose to catch a mouse.

Or maybe, he doesn't have a gameplan, and is just being his rather strange self, with all his flaws, which is why so many of us like him and will contiune to vote for him to win

Raises some excellent points IMO. IF he has a gameplan, it has gotta be the worst one ever. As most things he has done are more likely to turn the public against him than make him more popular....and as a long time viewers of BB he must know this.

haha, it is a great post Vicky. Personally I think most people like Aaron because he's interesting to watch, simple as that really. He's a fascinating character, whether he's playing a game or not I don't really care, I like him and he's made the show so entertaining for me.

[Suze]

As much as I like Aaron, I think any other year him being such a marmite BB housemate, he would have been out about half way through the series if we still had the negative voting. I think the positive voting has helped a lot in keeping the more interesting housemates in, and those housemates who aren't too interesting and swan through to the final by not getting nommed, well that can't be helped, as a couple are bound to slip through.

I am surprised this BB we have had no all housemates up before the final and no double or triple evictions though.

Good post Vicky,Why would anyone go through what Aaron has if he wants to win,as the post says,he hasn't curried favour with the public,We all may get a huge shock when he comes out and maybe find out he has never had the game plan!!!that we thought he had,

[Cherie]

C5 could have helped us rid ourselves of deadwood by putting the whole house up for eviction, its a shame we never got the chance to boot Tom out before the final...so next year C5 whole house up at least once in the series.

[chuff me dizzy]

I doubt very much Aaron has more of a gameplan than anyone else in there ,you could look at a few of them and see they all have sussed it out

[djr2514]

Aaron's game plan is to entertain the tv audience and win the game. Why does he sulk and not get along with others? He gets more camera time which equals more fans. Yes he could of been boring like tom/alex with their childish games, but read the boards people are getting borred with them, and alex has a web page with pics of her kissing another girl. Also Tom has been a good person in there done what he is told for tasks, but is that entertaining enough for him to win, no. People want Tom out first at the finals. I guess he could be disgusting like Lou and Jay farting and pooing in freezer, but a lot of people find them disgusting and want them out. So by Aaron breaking the mode and being difficult in there he is the most favorite to win and I think he will win. So tell me again why he should of played different?

[rusticgal]

Maybe he is a mole.... and thats why BB are giving him such bad press and bad editing cos he is in danger of winning!!!....now that would make sense...lol...

I love Aaron...he has been unique and the more anti Aaron posts and the more crap he gets on BBOTS..the more I support him.He has made this years show.To think that Louise,Tom and Alex are still there when they have added nothing to the show...beats me!!.
I like Faye although she has messed more with Aarons head than he has her...she has bitched about him and nominated him unyet Aaron gets the blame fo messing her around.He is a complex character but apart from the kiss with Maisey at the beginning he has been totally loyal with Faye albeit his occassional sulks....Faye has been far worse.

Aaron simply deserves to win....and I will vote and vote and vote and support him till the end.

Nice to see an Aaron fan admitting that Aaron actually did the things others have been seeing all along. They have always been denied. *sniff*

[Incensed]

Cos so many peeps like him, I'm really trying to myself. Not to be a sheep or anything, his moods and petulance just drive me to distraction and I'm really trying to see what the attraction is.

Had to laugh at the video on C5 site earlier tonight. Aaron and Faye wanted a quick kiss and cuddle so cooked up a go at each other, so they could nip to the store room quick for their kiss and cuddle. But it looks like the other housemates weren't fooled by the pair of them

[psychtracker]

It was Anton really, who perpetuated this myth that he was a genius manipulator, studied in the game...and then to a lessor extent Harry. His only great move was getting Jay to vote for Harry that time, and have him and Faye avoid being nominated. If he was as clever and cunning as some claim, he likely would've been gone weeks ago. I think the reason he's done so well, and lasted as long as he has, is because of all the flaws in his game plan.

[thesheriff443]

aaron has survived beacuse other housemates have just put up with his sulks not wanting to rock the boat to much and put a negative on their own chances!

[Tourmaline]

I really hope Aaron wins he so deserves it

So your admitting he doesnt have a gameplan then?

Or perhaps he didnt 'betray' anyone except Louise, but it was generally perceived as his fault Faye was up due to awful editing and every other HM lining up to kick him cause they know hes a favourite to win.

[MTVN]

I agree with that post, I don't think he's playing a game and never have done, it seems to me though that there's a division between his fans; there seems to be those who go on about what a great gameplayer he is and considering it's a positive thing, and then the rest are insistent that he's genuine and not trying to play anyone

[GabbygalEvs]

great points there in that post

its got to be the worst gameplan ever lol

Doesn't always work though. Fans get tactical in their voting.

I dont think so, its all about being realistic.

As BB fans surely anyone with a brain accepts that all HMs have a gameplan to some extent. All of them act slightly differently in the house to how they are outside, its impossible not to, being such a fake and weird environment.

When I say hes a gameplayer, I mean he understand the basic concept behind BB, which surprisingly few HMs ever have. Most of them are obsessed with keeping the other HMs onside (Anton is a good example) but forget that the public see all the plotting and scheming.

Aaron totally understand that his HMs dont really matter, he could be up every week as long as the public like him it wont matter. And he has achieved that by being as genuine as anyone can be in the BB house. Do I think hes exactly like this in the real world? No none of them are, or ever have been in any series since BB1.

His gameplan is simple, dont bitch about others, dont be spiteful or nasty, be honest and true and consistent = and holy moses its worked !!!

Great post, totally agree with it and we've been harping on about this for weeks, so it's great to read this is active on other forums. Thanks Vicky for posting this

That was everyone up with vote to evict though wasnt it?

Vote to save is different. If you want someone OUT you would have to vote for loads of other people multiple times

[Cromwell1900]

Didn't Aaron say he was going in with a game plan on his entry VT i think?

I think they all do or say certain things to try and give them a better chance of winning and to endear themselves to the public, that will probably always be at the back of their minds. However to me a "gameplan" suggest some kind of formulaic strategy which I don't believe Aaron has. I don't think he's trying to be someone he's not in order to win votes, I do think we're seeing the real him, and as you say being genuine. But I don't consider it a gameplan to "be genuine", the two seem antithetical to me, you're not playing much of a game and you haven't really got much of a plan if you're just being yourself.

And I don't agree that Anton forgot the public could see his scheming, the opposite in fact, his game plan was for the benefit of the public and he included the viewers in it; that's the kind of gameplayer I like.

Yeah he did.

That said everyone who goes into BB generally say anything to aid them an entry ticket.
