Host alias is being overridden by template alias

I have an issue where an alias inside templates are overriding the hosts own alias. Let me use screenshots to explain:

The first screenshot shows the problem. Here you can see that the alias is not what I have defined on the host (shown in next screenshot). Instead this alias is actually inside a host template.

The next screenshot shows:
  • The host definition
    The 1st template used by the host
    the template that the 1st host template uses
You can see the template that the 1st host template uses is where the alias is being obtained from.
host - template - template.png

Finally this is a screenshot of the host configuration file in the backend.

How do I fix this problem? It is occurring on more than just this one object.
