(I would comment on your avi but I'd need to know who she was first)

still voting for her to be evicted. She is so dull and useless.

I am browsing DS at the min, and they have brought up something I didn't even really think of and it might have an element of truth to it, though mentioning it here I already know is opening a massive can of worms...but here we go

It is possible that the others didn't tell Aaron to stop as they were afraid of being labelled homophobic. I have felt for a while that possibly thats why Joel accepts the behavior even though hes not comfortable with it. Apparently (though I didnt actually see it myself) Aaron himself favourited a couple of comments on twitter that accused Joel of being homophobic..then deleted them. If this is true..then it kinda backs up that opinion :S

I doubt many people have experience in dealing with matters like this. And 'homophobe' is flung around a lot in general

Of course some may (and probably were) encouraging it because they found it funny. I doubt they would have found it funny had they been on the receiving end however

[Daniel-X]

Yeah she was the only housemate in the bedroom not encouraging it unlike Harriet who was pushing Aaron onto Joel and Sarah who was telling him to 'flash him one more time'

Chloe is great when she speaks up and recently every time I've seen her I've really liked her just need to see her a bit more. Hope she and the twins stay tonight.

No...but I expect he felt more secure surrounded by people that leaving the room and having Aaron follow him.

He couldn't follow him into the DR

Then he should have gone straight to BB and asked them to intervene. Not stay in the same room where he was being "sexually harrassed".

I think he is a complete sneak who saw the opportunity to eliminate Aaron from the competition when he got into the diary room.

I don't agree with that.
Laughter is a very common human mechanism of stress release, mental and physical (embarrassment, awkwardness, dealing with a strange situation, discomfort).
It doesn't mean that he was purely entertained by the situation, neither part of the other watching hms.
Yes, it can be seen as inappropriate, it can be (=Harriet not reading the situation properly for example), but not automatically.

I really hope Chloe stays too. For me, she's one of the only decent female housemates in there, but I feel she's underedited - it would be a shame to see her go

[Denver]

She may not ecouraged it but she is just as bad for not opening her mouth and saying stop

[Crimson Dynamo]

Chloe not expressing any emotion..shock

That is what I said in another thread.

And your beloved Harriet is even worse, pushing Aaron onto Joel, and egging him on.
