Remember when Mike Boogey proposed to Krista on live TV? I still shudder when I think of that! I didn't think Eric would be cheesy enough to pull a Mike Boogie. Still, one comes to expect certain behavior on Big Brother.

I would have been disgusted if he had.

Uh - no.

When I watched the show, I didn't hear them say this when they hugged but I've read here twice where they said "I love you" (or Lisa asked Eric if he still "loved" her.

I personally find this an odd thing to say after such a short time together.

Eric and Lisa are, IMHO, much more mature than Mike Boogey and Krista. There's no way either of them would make that kind of decision at this stage. They will take it slow and see what happens. I hope it's all good stuff!

The stuffed dog did it for me. I fell in love with the guy who always won me stuffed animals and he still gets me at least one every carnival. Keep the roses and the diamonds. The stuff animal guys are the real deals.

Ok ok OK I HAVE to defend short known love.....

Been married to my hubby for 5 yrs. We got engaged after a week of being together, married 6 months after that. When you feel it and it's real, who cares how long you have known each other. We have a three yr old and are trying for another. SO who's to say you can't find love just because you have known someone for a few weeks.

Agreed that lisa and eric are more mature than mike and krista and seem to have a better going at it than will and shannon.
Good luck to Eric and Lisa

I loved the stuffed dog, too, even though I would not refuse flowers or diamonds. :) The stuffed animal was a really thoughtful thing to do.

Yeah, but 1kid, you knew your DH in real life under real circumstances. I would have been very disappointed had Eric proposed.

1kid4us-

I fell in love with the stuffed animal guy on the second date (which lasted 3 days :) ). We were married 5 months later.

This Nov it will be 19 years

Yes Ark... I knew him for one week, and when we met at first i didn't want to get involved in anything with anybody, but something about him struck me. We moved in shortly after. BUt if you can get along in a house for 5 weeks without any place to go when you get on each others nerves and still like each other after, who says you can't make it work.... I respect how everybody feels and value what they have to say..but i will always root for them and hope they really do make it in life together.
and if they don't, then it just means they weren't meant to be.

Gidget... So happy to hear that... Congrats!!!
My Dh and I celebrated our 5 yrs last friday....and nobody thought we would last a week...I wake up every morning and can't wait to start my day with him at my side. I still want him when he comes home at night and still get butterflies when he kisses me and strokes my face.

I didn't think he would propose and am really glad he didn't! He seemed to feel really bad after asking Lisa why she didn't vote him back into the house. I don't know how long they'll last--who does?--but they are much sweeter than Mike and Krista were. (I thought that stuffed animal was kinda dorky though.)

I'm glad he didn't do it. They need time together outside the house. I do think they might have a chance at a good relationship tough. Sometimes people meet under the weirdest situations, and it lasts forever.

I have a stuffed animal guy too, but after 5 years they are taking over the house. Pretty soon we will have to build them their own wing...LOL

I love my toys but I keep them under control by giving some of them to the little girl next door or to charity. And my stuffed animal guy doesn't mind a bit.

Just remember though, Lisa hasn't watched the tapes yet. She doesn't know everything that Eric said about her. I think they'll be fine, but we'll see.

This has me baffled. Why would anyone expect Eric to pop a question to Lisa, when he has only known her for less than a month? Would we expect that of someone in the real world?
If Eric did pop the question to Lisa, my opinion of him would digress, simply because it would be telling that he was after the money from her, and shallow.

It is a silly expectation to think he would actually pop the question.

Maybe he wanted to make sure she won the money LOL. If she hadn't, he might have told her to go give Jason some attention, which I think she admitted she was tempted to do anyway.

Not really understanding this "in such a short time together" thing I keep hearing to do with Eric and Lisa...

I mean I've gotten to a point of falling in love (and visa versa) in a few weeks - a few times in my life and it was real - and lasted for years (well still lasting lol, in one of the cases we still write each other weekly and plan to be together someday ya know ..whatever..anyhow)

But what I mean is - I hear people questioning their feelings 'in such a short time' - but they were together almost inseperable for what 24 hours a day for 5 weeks!! Not counting the 6 hours a night they slept .. that's 340 HOURS they spent together.

Now the average couple I know who are couple and in love... spend maybe 4 hours together 3 or 4 times the first week (16 hours) maybe 6 hours together 4 or 5 times a week the 2nd... and so on... anyhow bottom line is for MOST couples to have spent 340 hours TOGETHER - that's 3 or 4 months of dating time! And you tink they couldn't fall for each other in that time???

Trust me if you don't start having major feelings for a guy after 340 hours of being TOGETHER (not counting sleep time) then um your probably with the wrong guy. The few times I've been in love - it certainly didn't take me 340 hours to get to that point... takes a few years of really getting to know someone to be truely IN LOVE with them... first few months or year you don't know enough about them to really be IN LOVE but you certainly can be falling in love after 300 hours :)

Well that's my two cents... I spent a few hours watching them in the hammock... and trsut me they were both falling ...bigtime... and it's one of the most wonderful feelings there is...

:)

For those questioning them - just think about how you felt about the one you loved most after spending 340 HOURS with them... :)

"Few times I've been in love" being the operative phrase, there, Whit. Being in love and willing to make a lifetime commitment are not at all the same thing! Also, those "togetherness" moments when measured within the confines of a game and before the whole world, hardly make for true intimacy. To me, it is completely understandable how neither Lisa nor Eric know the true extent of their feelings for one another beyond attraction.

Lisa is stating in her interviews since being out of the house that, they will see what developes. Sounds like she knows what she is doing. As far as waiting for Eric to pop the question, I think he's smarter than that.

Absolutely NOT.

Unlike last year's Mike and Krysta, I think this years Lisa and Eric have their heads screwed on right. They really like each other and want to see where it leads. Niether of them were even ready to say something as serious as 'I love you', I sure don't think either of them would be stupid enough to get married at this point.
