I's put that down to some sort of skewing of votes via Facebook, because I couldn't understand how anyone could have actually liked and supported the insufferable Aaron.

When BB stopped accepting votes via Facebook, I thought that must be the reason, but now I really don't know why things have changed.

I just hope the crowd is representative of public opinion on the Julie question, as I wouldn't know what to do with myself if she actually proved to be popular!

I think this has more to do with it being a vote to save rather than a vote to evict rather than the vehicle used for voting. Had last year been a vote to evict, Aaron would not have made it more than a few weeks. He was very polarizing -- both the most popular and most unpopular housemate. So the boos made perfect sense as did him winning. We did not see this effect quite as much in this year's BB because there were more two person evictions where the impact of vote to save is much reduced. IMO
