Jimmer... discounting shows like the Bachelor etc. The one romance that has made it is from the Biggest Loser. A couple married and they now have a child.

Rob/Amber from survivor - I enjoyed their romance because I didn't have to watch it develop 24/7.

Those are the only two that I can remember. (not counting Jeff Prost and his survivor girlfriend since that didn't happen during the game)

I know they are not there to satisfy me just expressing my dislike to have to watch this constantly on my feeds. I guess I watch the feeds for the game play and the interaction between houseguests but not to watch people kissing etc. I would not have liked it if Will and Janie did what they are doing.

And they are adults, they could have waited.

I think they are both being honest with eachother. Jess has been wanting to kiss him for quite some time. It just took Eric a while to figure it out, plus he respects her and didn't want to take advantage.
Will they make it on the outside? I don't think so unless Eric really would move to Kansas city or wherever Jess lives. I def don't see Jess moving to NYC.
Jess is moving up on my fav list, she is so easy going.

Good ones! I was thinking of Rob and Amber but I forgot the Biggest Loser.

I don't mind the showmances at all. What drove me crazy was Will and Janelle's whispering. Argh!!!

i rather like their ackwardness.. in the past it's all been more 'sexual' chemistry.. this seems to me to be developing more from 'liking' each other.. feeling their way together.. they do seem to genuinely like each other and want to get to know each other.. they ask each other a lot of really great questions and seem to answer them honestly.. questions other couples in the house have danced around and not answered.. their questions are more domestic and life oriented.. not sexually oriented.. i like that.. to be honest these two are really rather refreshing to watch..

Couple of things...

Tonight, when going to sleep, Eric asked her if she was going to move to her side of the bed. She has done this every night and, in fact, has told him that she doesn't like to sleep cuddled up with someone. Tonight, she chose to stay in the middle with him. That says something about her level of trust in him.

Second, on the she just lays there issue, I agree with the others that she is more aware of the people watching than Eric. She is also aware that things can happen that you don't mean to happen, given her story of losing her virginity while drunk. She is determined to remain in control and, in fact, she and Eric were whispering some things about that tonight. She definitely became more affectionate with him tonight, rubbing his arm, holding hands with him, and, as someone pointed out, she has things going on under the covers.

Third, there are many kinds of chemistry. We know that he feels enough to put his entire game at risk by coming clean about the votes and mustard. We know she feels enough to be drawn back to him in spite of her fears and trust issues. It may not be spontaneous combustion but there's definitely a reaction going on.

Fourth, they have been and are going to be repeatedly tested in the next three weeks. I honestly thought she was going to fail this latest test yet, in the end, she pulled through and she appears even more committed than before. Like Eric said, if they can get through this, who knows what they can handle on the outside.

Remember, they can hear those cameras moving at key times.. she's looking right up at cams and that would put a damper on her actions, I'm guessing.

Last Friday, just five days ago, Eric told Amber about his 4 1/2 year relationship with a woman he said he loves and how he would never cross the line or do anything to hurt her. With only about three weeks left in the house, I wish he'd honored and respected both of these women and resolved his situation with Cheryl before taking it up a level with Jess.

Just saw a commercial for Thursday's show. It talked about Jess and Eric and asked how does Eric's girlfriend feel about their relationship. She said it's 100% strategy. Should be interesting to see the rest of the interview with Cheryl.

i don't think it's strategy. i think he has real and genuine feeling for jessica. i do not think he would have kissed her if that were the case.

Tresbien, about waiting, I will completely give you that point. I wish he had as well.

And yet...he's with a girl who, according to him, makes him feel a great deal. How hard must it be to be with her 24/7, and not do something about it?

It's not what I would want, and I do wish he had continued to respect both of them, but I also understand that 57 days can seem like a lifetime. It's too human for me to come down that hard on him.

This morning he seemed very much to want to tell her exactly how strong his feelings are, but held back some, I swear I thought he was going to use the L word. I believe his story about the on/off relationship with his "gf", and that their current status is off.
This isn't strategy - he's put a lot at risk because of her.
It irks me that BB is getting the on/off gf involved.
But, she apparently isn't watching as much as we are.

i think they have true feeling for each other. if they have been in the house for 57 days, that is 1368 hours.

Just for show folks! I don't care for either of them. Her voice and his constant laughing while he is talking drives me insane.

Yeah I suspect Eric has spent more time with Jessica in the house then he has spent with his long distance girlfriend the past 2-3 years.

I understand if you don't like them. But to reiterate what Only and Zachs said, 57 days/1368 hrs is an awfully long time to be putting on a show.

And isn't this former girlfriend someone who was on another reality show? A dance one, I think?

Could she just be playing up a certain angle that she thinks will "make good TV"?

Speaking only for myself, if some guy made a move on me while he had an unresolved relationship with someone else, he wouldn't be the person for me. If it's all right with them, it's their business, and I wish them good luck.

If it said "former" on the commercial, I didn't hear that. Has anyone else seen it yet? I looked on cbs.com for it but couldn't find it there.
