I really have to question the sanity of any non-married young couple that decides it's a good idea for one of them to go on a reality show, and be locked in a house with strangers for the summer.

A bunch of attractive, unmarried people are locked up in a house 24/7 without ever leaving. Chances are that a couple of them are gonna get "lonely."

I'm not condoning what may or may not have happened between Danielle and Nick but I can't say I'm shocked either.

Didn't Dr. Will have break up with his girlfriend (Erin?) after All-Stars because she was jealous of his flirtation with Janelle? And didn't Erika break up with Josh Souza while in the house during All-Stars?

On the other hand there is Elizabeth Hasselbeck, now on "The View", who went on Survivor: Australian Outback back in 2001 in part partly to prove she could remain faithful to her then-fiance during their long separation......

I think Survivor is a totally different environment for showmances. The people on Survivor might stink most of the time, and there aren't clean sheets and nice blankets for most of them. BB is a pretty cushy stay comparatively.

Amac, Will and Erin Brodie (two time winner of for Love or Money) are still together. Erin will appear in episodes of Dr. 90210 with Will starting at the end of this month.

AHHHH maybe that's why Erin is still around?

Why would she be appearing on his show?? Are they living together and she's part of his home life? I just can't imagine Will as a real doctor and real people being treated by him.

Kswheels, they go on these shows because their desire for fame and fortune outweighs their current relationships. I would imagine they see it as a once in a lifetime opportunity; however, it appears they may gloss over the detriments of doing a show such as this.

Cricket, they moved in together about a month ago. Not sure if they were living together when Will began filming 90210, but she does appear, along with Boogie and Theo Von (Last Comic Standing).

I'm kind of embarrased that I know this!

Will and Erin Brodie (two time winner of for Love or Money)...

Ahhh... how can we EVER forget how Will always called her by her whole name and gave her TV credentials. Just reading it again, cracked me up! LOL

I'm not sure if Dani's relationship with her boyfriend isn't already over. As a young guy, I seriously doubt that any relationship that I had could survive my watching my girlfriend actively cuddling up with some strange guy.

Seriously, how many of you would want to watch your DH do that on national TV and the Internet and put up with it?

We don't know what agreement Dani and her boyfriend had before she came into the house. They may have agreed that showmance without sex was okay. It was her boyfriend's birthday, she misses him, she's playing a guy who she honestly likes, she's not sleeping or eating well..there are a million reasons why the girl breaks down, but to pinpoint her dad as the reason is not fair. I think she is using her relationship with Dick as a reason to be mad and eleviate any guilt she may feel. I think she has done this for years and it's just a habit.

Jimmer I think as young people they don't think like we do as adults..they may need the money and that is their only focus. Given the situation in the house, maybe Dani thinks she stepped a little too far by getting into bed with Nick instead of just flirting and letting him sleep on the floor next to her..who knows.

The fact that Dani seems so agonized over her relationships when she speaks in the DR suggests to me that this isn't part of some sort of pre-arranged strategy that she and her boyfriend agreed to before she started playing the game. Unless BB is encouraging her to fake her DRs for the viewing audience.

I'd really rather not get into a discussion here about whether Janelle and Will's relationship was real or not as that is not part of BB8 and belongs in the BB7 area of the board. I will say that I can see how seasoned reality players like Will and Erin might overcome Will's possibly strategic relationship with Janelle and consider it to be part of the game.

However, I don't see Dani and her boyfriend as seasoned reality show players, particularly given Dani's agony over what she is doing. It seems to me that Dani is simply succumbing to temptation, the unusual surreal circumstances created by the game and the general pressure of the game.

I'm not sure how accepting her boyfriend can be. However, you are right that it is not like she is breaking her marriage vows. He is a boyfriend and they may feel differently about relationships.
