I am so amazed with the way Dani is carrying on about Nick and the Jess and Eric situation... Personally I feel that it is just gross to get involved in a showmance. People you just met could have bugs crawling on them. Does anyone else feel this way??

I so do too Riverbunny. Did t hey come on this show to find a b/f-g/f or to play a game and win 500,000.00. You'd think if they saw this show they'd know NONE of this shomance crap EVER worked out. I say stay home and let someone else come on that wants to PLAY!

It just amazes me that these people get involved knowing that the game is based on deception and playing eachother. Anytime you get involved physically you can not keep your feelings out. And who today gets involved with someone you just met....

I think showmances are fun to watch! I think it is perfectly normal to be attracted to someone without knowing everything about them. Sure getting back to reality may hurt but then again it may not. Even if it doesn't work out, at least they had fun.

The 24/7 interaction in the house seems to make them feel as if they on a marathon date. I’m sure all that constant contact makes feelings seem more intense but they forget that the house is not the real world and the way someone is in the house is not necessarily how they are in real life.

Riverbunny, lots of people get involved with people they just met. My step-daughter met a guy at a bar on a Monday, a month later they were living together, My next door neighbor met a man who lives around the block from us while she was having a garage sale, the night after they met, they went on a date. My sister met her husband of 13 yrs over the phone, the 1st time they met in person they got very involved. It happens quite often, some people are just open to that sort of thing.

Showmances are gross and always the least interesting part of BB for me. I like the scheming and strategizing. My favorite relationship in the house was between Jason and Daniele in BB3.

could have bugs crawling on them like I asked last night when they were all sharing a glass, Do they check out everybody for diseases before they go into the house?? LOL LOL or Who knows where their mouth has been!!? I am still laughing at eric last night trying to say to jess that he hadnt kissed a girl for five years. How old are those girlfriend pics again? showmance, blowmance- yep they blow. I find it boring and entirely unlikely. the Nick Dani conversations were like listening to a couple of 13 yr olds on a date. Eric and jess I thought were just being silly and having fun. Eric doing the Kiss thing and now is groping her everychance he gets is Creeping me out. when he talks in that effected way, slowly and enounciating every single syllable, I think he still sounds like Adam Sandler. Whom i like, but I dont when Eric does it.

I actually find showmances interesting, and it's usually amazing how far they can take players in the game (or completely destroy them). "Romance" is one of many ways that human beings can manipulate or create alliances with one another.

I totally was annoyed by the Nick/Dani showmance. They so rarely left the bed and were just not interesting to watch. With Eric and Jessica it has been fun watching them interact as friends with their silly antics. I think now it is kind of fun to see it progress a little further.

I thought that the whole Nick/Dani thing was over the top. I mean, she's still crying about him? Puh-lease. Then, I remembered that I met the man sitting in my LR right now 12 years ago and it was only supposed to be a one-nighter. Within a month we were living together and nine months later we were married. Before I met him I didn't believe in love at first sight (lust yes, love no) but we are soul-mates (which I never believed in before, either.) All that to say that I'm trying to give Dani a break about how she feels about Nick. Ditto with Jess & Eric (even though I think he is totally playing her.)

Showmances NEVER work..... And the one who is most in "love" usually gets "played" and it ruins their game....aka JESSICA!!! I believe that Eric DOES like Jessica somewhat, but NOT like he loves his girlfriend....I understand that his GF will be on the show Thursday saying that Eric and Jessica is "100% strategy" on Eric's part....That's what I figure too... And Jameka had it ALL figured out last night, when she told Jessica that Eric made sure that HE was OK with both sides, by not using the POV...but it is NOT in Jessica's best interest...I totally agree....Jameka ALSO said that she figured that Jameka and Jessica would go up next week, and I believe THAT will happen too... Poor Jessica....she should NOT have put all of her faith in a "showmance"...just like others in the past....it will be her downfall...and I thought she was going to win this whole thing....not any more unfortunately....

"Showmances NEVER work..... " I would never say never...Rob and Amber from Survivor seem to have made it work.

Bluejax...I would LOVE to see a showmance work, but they just never do.... Being as objective as I can be....see if any of you agree.... I do NOT think the "showmance" between Nick and Daielle will work, for a number of reasons, but the most important one to me, is that even though they are attracted to one another, I do not think that their personalities are compatible at ALL...For the VERY SHORT time that they were in the house, they had MANY MANY arguments. Some, were very heated, and over virtually NOTHING. They seemed to "butt heads" an awful lot. (I have been married over 33 yrs. now, and for the first two years of our relationship, my hubby and I NEVER had ONE fight...we were so compatible and in love, we just wanted the other one to be happy all the time.) I see Danielle as a very independent, self-reliant young woman who doesn't like being "told" what to do, or even to be overly "protected or fathered" by any man....I see Nick as a very social, active guy who is very "protective" and ALSO fiercely independant. Nick seems to be very opinionated and stubborn in his views on things. He also seems sort of "needy" of a lot of attention, and is used to getting it. When I describe each one, I could almost be describing the other...I think they are too much alike, and will fight, fight, fight, and ultimately NEVER make it, because they BOTH are used to getting a LOT of attention, and getting their own way. They both seem very stubborn and argumentative, and have also been known to be "screamers" when angered.... I just don't see it working long at all....

LOL! Your dog is such a romantic! What happened to the dog? LOL! My husband and I met at a bar almost 18 years ago, and we were married less than two months later. I thought he was a goof and he thought I was stuck-up! After a while of talking we made a date and saw each other every night until we were married. Not a showmance, but a very fast courtship.

Party poopers! At least these showmances are better than "reality" dating shows. Like the Bachelor. I can't believe that show is still around, and people actually keep watching!

150% behind you Carrie! "The Bachelor" creeps me out! Why would you want to compete for a man?? That makes me sick to my stomach! At least BB is about competing for money. Any kisses are just bonuses!!

I don't find them gross. I find them silly. Silly that anyone in or out of the house even takes them seriously.

I think shomances are mostly a result of boredom and isolation not "real love". Most don't last because people usually arent the same in real life as they are under the microscope.

As far as showmaces go- I normally detest them except for Will/Janelle. Lisa?Eric spent all their time in bed, so did Dana/J and Diane/Drew. I could not stand these couples nor can I tolerate Eric/Jess. It also interfers with the game and everybody has to stop and break the couples up (that is if they are using their brains) before they can get on with the rest of the game. There should be lady/men dorms and bathrooms. I'm tired of it.

<77> Will/Janelle <77> was not a showmance, it was a fauxmance. They both had significant others that they both (apparently) are still with. They were just flirting with each other trying to gain the upper hand on the other. It was all fake for the show and them trying to go further in the game. The only true showmance was Boogie & Erica, and even that was fake on Boogie's end. At least with Jess and Eric, he seems to have real feelings for her, while she just seems to like the attention. She's never seemed "that" into him, and is really miffed at how everything he told her failed to happen. Once she's evicted, whether or not AmERICa votes for her to go, their showmance will be over. His only hope was if she had developed real feelings for him and then once he explained how he had to do whatever AmERICa told him to do and then she forgave him for some of the things he did due to the voting. She never seemed to develop those kinds if feelings, so when this is all over, it will most likely be all over for them too.

People seem to forget that these people have been with each other for 2 months! Think back to romances that you have had in the "regular" world and how much closer you were after 2 months and you probably weren't with each other 24/7. It really kinda makes sense.
