Most people who watch BB are interested in how the people relate to each other. Some people get together for strategic reasons, some manipulate and use others, some real friendships develop and occasionally some real romantic relationships develop. So people are interested in relationships and how they work. This is just part of that larger discussion of trying to understand what is motivating Shane and Danielle to play the game that they are playing. So we may always be asking that question. It's not a bad thing.

I was just correcting the spelling on the heading; not making a judgment. Spelling police.

Maybe he has a lady back home and doesn't want to ruin that relationship.

If I was the lady back home, the relationship would be ruined. It's one thing to flirt for game purposes - I'd support that - but it's another to go along with the cuddling, kissing and massaging as Shane is doing.

Lillian-I agree. What Shane & Danielle are doing is way beyond gameplay & "friends" It's just my opinion BUT Shane seems like someone who won't cuddle, touch, caress, massage & kiss on someone he doesn't have feelings for but who knows maybe he's just a good actor. He gives her mixed signals for sure.

While doing the butt massage, Shane was probably fantasizing about Wil or Frank.

Yeah, I agree ... who cares? But out of all the threads going, I am most drawn to this one. I think it's fun to speculate. This show and these message boards are all about minutia, right? Let the games begin!

I want to note for most people sexual orientation is not a preference but inate. I do think it is highly likely Shane is gay, not that it matters. He is not seemingly having sex in the house. By the way the wrestling stuff with Danielle was very telling to me. No attractive guy who is almost 27 acts that way in that kind of situation with a woman. That is the behavior of a twelve year old boy who has no experience being in situations like that with women. If Shane were a proclaimed virgin and very religious his behavior might make sense but otherwise not so much. Even if he is not into Danielle he is just way out of the park.

The wrestling stuff with Danielle last night was very telling to me, too. It tells me he likes to hurt her. She said "Stop. You're hurting me." so he did it again, only harder, and told her she likes it! Yes, very telling, indeed.

I doubt it. If you look at him under the bio thread and go to the Vermont Bachelor 2010 link, he doesn't come across as gay. (and he looks even more like Tom Cruise than usual in the photo at that link) (That link also says he likes girls to play hard to get because otherwise it isn't as appealing to him. Uh oh for Dani. But that is for another thread.)

Most of my gay friends don't "come across as gay". Some definitely do, but not the majority.

(SFJF, I hope I didn't offend you (or anyone else). You are one of my favorite posters. I didn't mean anything negative by it. Shane talks about women and women kissing him in that interview.)

Oh no problem at all, Happymom! I didn't take that as offensive at all. I just wanted to point out to those who don't have many gay friends that most gay people don't fit the typical stereotype.

Thanks for changing the title to "orientation". I didn't feel right posting here when it was "preference". Sooooo....I think Shane is straight and just isn't into Danielle. And if I am wrong and he's gay...I wish him the best and hope he gets the courage to "come out".

I didn't like the hair pulling and her saying he was hurting her and he said she liked it. That is a telling point. I didn't like to see the crotch shots they showed while she was trying to get lose. Not a good look for either one.

Dudes not gay. He's just not into her. She's just something to pass the time with. If Kara was in the house. We'd see a totally different Shane.

I agree w/Jadajean! Shane is just not as self-absorbed as some "alfa" males! He seems to have more morals. Or, maybe that's what he is wanting to show...........who knows?

What man with morals, would be giving a girl that he really isn't into, a but rub. She wearing crotch showing shorts, He sporting a hard on. Some morals.

Joycee-When did he give her a but massage? What hard on? IF so how can you say he's NOT into her then? I totally think he's into her. I hope Dani plays some hard to get this week and flirts with Frank (the new HOH)

Joyce...sometimes biology trumps morals...history is FULL of stories... when you are young...the hormones raging...sometimes things just...happen...like butt rubs...hardons...etc. I personally don't think this incident is an indication of anyone having or not having morals... I think its just healthy nature over riding common sense... JMO...
