As Aaron supporters I doubt they would be let in the door the show is so biased against him.

I'm far from an Aaron fan and I thought that joke was made in very bad taste. But Emma and lots of others protested when she said it, so I don't think it was just let by.

[hamcheese]

Stopped watching bbots.......too biased......glad I didnt see that waste of space mclean thing shes vile

[rusticgal]

Make the bitch apologise she completely overstepped the mark.
She should apologise to Aarons family and to anyone who has suffered at the hands of an abusive husband who may have found that insulting.
Perhaps we will call her husband a paedophile on national TV or insult her child (I think she has one) and see how she likes it... Aaron is a nice bloke...he is someones son...someones brother...he dedicated himself to his wife and son when she was in a wheelchair...and then a low-life like her comes on and vilifies him labelling him something he is not.
I like Aaron....some do not and thats fine but dont insult people on this level.

Yeah I don't see how this proves BOTS is biased against Aaron or anything, it's not like they told her to say it

Excuse me, but having been in an abusive relationship myself in my twenties, both phyically and mentally by the way, I can categorically assure you that Aaron is a million miles from any such behaviour, and I know what I am talking about. Even more so I see some of myself in Faye, she clearly has very little self esteem and I would say she has suffered constant criticism and put downs all her life from Jem and her mother, therefore that is what she expects to hear and why she over-reacts to things Aaron says. The outfit incident was a prime example, Aaron simply meant that she had got changed very early, he wasn't digging at her at all. Faye misinterpreted the comment. She perhaps would benefit from some assertiveness courses or counselling, but probably can't see that herself at her age, however with age comes wisdom and I am sure that in the future they won't find it so easy to push her around.

I found your post disgusting, and very ill informed. People should think before they say stuff like that.

Nicola McClean's face, voice & fake breasts make me feel sick.

Aaron to win.

I dont know how...but I will be making an official complaint. Those comments have taken things to an extreme....there has been too much vitriolic abuse about a guy who isnt violent...he does not swear...in fact he is very gentle.He is a little complex but he is a perfectly decent guy. Some people think he has messed Faye around...I beg to differ and think it is the other way around....but then thats my opinion.

People often use the word 'bully' too freely...I think Tom showed himself to be a bit of a playground bully yesterday...but those that dont like Aaron would have enjoyed it...but to label someone as behaving like an abusive husband is really disgusting.

I am not saying I agree that Aaron is as extreme as the term 'abusive husband' would suggest, but he IS an emotional bully. It's a huge part of how he controls the moods of entire groups, let alone his 'isolated' partner.

Some of the behaviours he demonstrates, the passive aggressive controlling etc, could be technically construed as abusive, though I personally wouldn't go that far.

The abusive husband isn't normally 6'7" dressed in a string vest and holding a can of Red Stripe, and sometimes the most damaging abuse isn't actually physical. In fact, the abusive 'husband' is very often a woman. The stereotypes in this area don't go very far tbh.

Vesuvius, could you read my post (Post number 63 on this page) Aaron is not an emotional bully, if you want an example of an emotional bully then just watch Jemma Palmer in action. And to repeat myself, I know what I am talking about.

You assume others don't?

Whatever Jem is or isn't does not change what Aaron is, and there are several different forms of emotional bullying and all may vary in severity.

Two emotional bullies may not look anything like each other.

Well said, Jemma messed with Fayes emotions more in the car crash few weeks she was in the house than the entire time Aaron has been there. Like you say Aaron is probably not aware of Fayes issues, and sometimes she totally overeacts to the things he does. This baffles him, which then sends him off in a mood, when Faye realises she has overeacted she then goes after him to 'make up' and the whole charade starts again.

If anyone should be blamed for Fayes mental state its her frankly horrible sister (and possibly mother) who spent her whole time putting Faye down, trying to make her feel ashamed, throwing snidy comments around and generally trying to make Faye feel small and steal her thunder. Jem couldnt bear it that Faye got on TV and had to ruin it for her... one of the vilest contestents this year imo, closely followed by Rebeckah and Tom

It's not a case of here we go again ....

It's only the second time I have ever felt compelled to complain to Ofcom about any television programme and believe me, I watch a lot of telly.

My complaint was that although BOTS has been biased against one HM from the beginning I strongly feel that the comment, made last night by Nicola Mcclean, was a step too far. It was a personal slur on his character and probably insulting to women who had actually been abused by their husbands. I think the producers of the company should make an apology.

Nicola McClean wasn't an audience member she was invited onto the panel and paid to comment

I meant here we go again that the complaints flood in over something or other minor and fleeting in general, not that you were a serial complainer

All the show being forced to make an apology will do is get BB neuterd and drag the comment's life span out further, maybe damaging Aaron even worse TBH.

Aaron, of all people, knew what he was getting in to. He is a long time student of the show and obviously fully expected this to potentiolly happen.

Such short memories...

Faye has been an emotional wreck since day 1 of this series. It didn't start with Jem.

But still, whatever Faye is that doesn't change what Aaron is. She is obviously emotionally immature, insecure, and volatile and Aaron as a mature man should have seen that and not chosen her as his tactical fauxmance, ethically speaking.
