He wasn't made out to be a 'paedophile'... HE was the only one to use that word.

The age used was 16, which does NOT mean he was being made out to be what you are getting all het up over.

Tom was just having a joke at an older guy chasing younger girls, like a 'dirty old man' mickey take. Nothing more.

By seizing hold of a word like 'paedophile' and getting all drama over it the joke has been twisted into fake outrage.

Actually what was said was 'not old enough to get married'. Which would mean UNDER 16.

Tom's finest moments of the whole series....even Louise wasn't bad. Yeah he went a lil over the top, but, come on Aaron.....the moody stuff is soooooo last week. Get over it.

BTW, if he'd done a similar hatchet job on Jay, there would be cheering from Aaron fans coming out of this computer

Fair point, I took it to mean as individually as an adult (18) rather then with parents consent but your right here.

I still consider this a drama over nothing, but then thats what Aaron does I guess.

I don't either, but then again she is Sophie Reede Version 2.0, just way uglier.

LOL yeah he does tend to over-exaggerate some things.

I dont see this as one of those things though, I think hes been thinking about the age difference thing quite a bit(especially as they all made such a big deal out of it at the time), and this is why that comment stood out so much to him.

I dont really think that Tom meant it in the way Aaron thought he did(or would hope he didnt), but I do think he was being unnecessarily bitchy, whilst others were treating the task as a tongue in cheek thing, Tom seemed to take delight in using it to be hurtful. I think the fact that it came from Tom(who Aaron has said for a few days obviously had something he wanted to say to him) made it come across a lot worse too.

Aaron and Alexs 'story' was bloody fantastic I thought. They managed to inject humour into it without being nasty or bitchy. Faye and Jays was ok, but you cant make a rap too funny really. Louise and Toms started out ok, and had some quite funny bits in, but that was overshadowed by the way parts were obviously thought up to be spiteful, rather than funny.

[joeysteele]

Just watched this now I'm back from Uni work. Thought the Aaron and Faye one by Tom and Louise was spitefully done and quite nasty in parts too.

Also BB really milked it too. It seemed to go on ages.

Tonight?Tom has been nasty since Aaron told him the 'kiss' meant nothing,snidey little rat hasn't got over that rejection yet and now he is festering about Aaron nominating him,HOW VERY DARE HE,but Tom has nominated Aaron,yeah right some people are oh so very fair!

Tom has no obligation to like aaron,but he will say his piece in aarons presence,as opposed to bitching in the diary room.

Totally agree kaznne.

Being sensitive about oneself has absolutely nothing to do with compassion for others.

He went too far & BB knew he would. He deliberately made Aaron feel as uncomfortable as he could & did it solely to pi** him off

It started funny then just got nasty.

Totally agree. IMO Tom took it too far, I honestly believe that Tom rotten with jealousy, cause he fancies Aaron & he's not interested in him, I also think its eating up Tom thinking that Aaron is popular with the public, cause he has topped the votes every time he has been up for eviction.

I don't remember this conversation tonight about Aaron saying the kiss meant nothing.

Theirs was designed to be nasty by the looks of it...whilst the other 2 pairs were trying to have a bit of lighthearted fun.

You would have not even thought about the 'too young to marry' if Aaron had not said it made him look like a paedophile. He should have let it pass but no. He has to take the huff at everything. Jay had to put up with what he said.

Another with mind reading abilities.

It just so happens that some on another forum picked up on this before Aaron even mentioned it. So your theory falls a little flat there.

[GabbygalEvs]

tom was a little bitch last night there was no need for all that

the other made it light hearted he was having a dig at him with every word

But I think thats the point, Aaron has to much class to do petty spiteful 'jokes' directed at another housemate in a forum which they cant answer back to. Everything Aaron said was amusing and not at all unpleasant or seedy, pretty much every joke directed at Aaron from Tom involved the idea of him being a pervert basically... so yeah he had every right to cop the hump + Tom knows only to well that Aaron is highly strung and a little uptight and he knows precisely what buttons to push to get a reaction.

I dont think he meant he was a paedophile, but I DO think he was insinuating that Aaron was some form of closet pervert, liking underage or young girls, wearing womens underwear, the ridiculous OTT style way he made out he kissed Faye. It was just seedy and obviously meant to rile him up, the same way his comments at the table were to Faye about his mates being really hot and then asking (smirkingly) why Aaron was annoyed.

Originally Posted by boomoo

And what exactly did Aaron say about Jay which was nasty or unpleasant. The only near the knuckle comment he made (about going down) he instantly apologised for (apparently it was Alexs idea) and besides Jay would be quite proud of that anyway.

All in all a really poor example from you imo

[Cromwell1900]

Tom was clearly out of order and had decided to retaliate over what Aaron had done to him earlier on in the day. However no amount of provocation justifies what Tom insinuated.

And I doubt anyone(but Aaron) would have taken Tom's statements seriously...the truth of it is, sure it wasn't the nicest thing to say, but, to give it more power and implication than it deserved just made Aaron look like a crybaby...of course, this is all simply my opinion

[Zebidee]

Does anyone includin BB know the real age of the lovely Faye? I've read on here that her age is between 19 & 26.

It doesn't really matter but I'm just interested.

On the Tom/Lou saga although I found it funny, Tom hit well below the belt with his lyrics!

I sympathise with Aaron because I tend to take things people say differently to my mates, they would laff something off and I would let it fester until such time as I would blow my top and then unlike Aaron use expletives to the person in question, unless it was a female who had upset me, then she would get a toned down version lol.

Just seen Faye declare her love for Aaron, I hope he doesn't let her down, or he will have me to answer to lol.

Cheers

Zeb
