It's official! Tonight, Aaron Allard-Morgan was crowned the winner of Big Brother 2011.

Aaron was regarded as something of a dark horse to win the show from early on, but he defied the odds tonight when he walked away with the £50,000 winner's fund (as well as his £990 share). As a Big Brother enthusiast, Aaron's delight at winning the dream accolade was made obvious when he left the House grinning from ear to ear.

Although Aaron's evidently a happy boy tonight, it's fair to say that he's had something of a turbulent time in the house: to pen the cliché, it's been something of a rollercoaster for the contract manager. Although his relationship with Faye was often the cause of this, Aaron showed himself to be an emotional and reflective character from the outset right through to the end, when a conflict involving him and Jay somewhat soured the atmosphere in the final week. He gained a reputation amongst the other housemates for his sensitive tendencies: some of his monologues and talks with the cameras provided many memorable moments which his housemates might not have known about. Tonight, the public proved that they'd warmed to these moments, or at the very least showed that they wouldn't let them subtract from their support.

This relationship with Faye was one of two lasting romances in the house, and the two clearly intend on carrying it on outside (despite the obvious disapproval from Faye's sister, Jem). The two were drawn together when Faye asked him out on a date: the attraction seemed to grow from there, although the self-confessed ladies' man did make a slight hiccup in kissing up to one of her best friends! Faye clearly didn't mind too much, though, as they were soon sharing their first kiss. Their first argument shortly followed, unfortunately, and the cycle seemed to continue until the last few days in which they seemed to grow as a couple.

Though Aaron was full of love for some of his housemates, he was also no stranger to conflict with them. As a strongly principled man, he was never afraid to stand up to what he thought was right: this sometimes led to some controversial decisions, however, which upset his fellow housemates. They often also led to accusations of 'game-playing' from his peers inside the House and the general public: it was in this area that Aaron seemed to divide opinions somewhat.

However we view Aaron, it is hard to dispute the fact that he's been an entertaining character, who will be fondly remembered by most viewers and housemates alike. The future's looking bright for the contract manager, and it may well include his new love interest: we wish him congratulations, and the best of luck with everything, poppet!
