2. He doesn’t trust the public to make up their own mind so he has to make sure he educates all the thickos out there.

HIs only legitimate gripe (though personally I don’t think he even had that) was that Jay and Louise didn’t tell him they were going ahead with it, so perhaps making him look mean. But he doesn’t even focus on that. Instead, he makes the mistake of saying they did it for votes. Then he has to come to the DR as well to push his point and explain further (a dead giveaway that he knows HE looks bad).
As throughout the whole series, it is always someone else’s fault - never his. Everyone else’s motives are always suspect but he is the epitome of integrity and high principles. He has never once admitted he was wrong, as far as I can recollect. He is always the hard done by victim who goes off to brood about how the lesser people of the world hurt his superior and sensitive soul.
No doubt he thinks this makes him look interesting and deep.
Aaron my dear, you can fool some of the people some of the time (as you have), but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
Underneath, he is a selfish, self centered egotist whose only care and aim is to get his hands on that prize money.

Christ, whenever i come on here you seem to be spouting off about Aaron. You know the more threads you start that put down Aaron, the more his fans will pick up the phone and vote for him, right?

Regarding his behaviour yesterday, i thought he was spot on. Damn right he made a big issue of it to Jay and Louise and he needed to. Bottom line is, Louise did it to look good on the camera (possibly Jay too), otherwise they'd have told Aaron about it. Aaron being the wiley old fox that he is spotted this, and played it beautifully. As you say, he needed to educate the thickos into realising this (let's face it, a lot of dummies watch this show) and he did it masterfully with Jay coming out of it looking like a complete bully saying he would beat him up if he were on the outside! How he managed that i'll never know, but fair play to the guy.
