Will they won't they romance vs Full on romance

[Princess]

I.e

Romances like Chantelle and Preston and Helen and Paul where a hug would be exciting or full on start going out in the house like Michelle and Stu and Pete and Nikki.

Which do you prefer?

I have liked both,the will they won't they is slighty frustarted at the time but usually works out while the full on is nice to actually see relationships in the house.

[Kristen]

Well I don't like it when couples were all over each other like Pekki. That was disgusting.
I liked Mikey and Grace's relationship: the odd peck, lot's of hugging, and a little bit of romance under the duvet.
When Michelle and Stu had it under the table though I had to turn the television off. The sound of Michelle orgasming was disgusting.

[Bells]

I prefer Prestelle/ Helen & Paul romances. :love:

But my fave couples depend moreso on the HMs. :hugesmile:

[lily.]

I prefer the obvious chemistry like Preston and Chantelle, rather than full on snogfests. If I wanted to watch that, I'd just go down the town on a Saturday night and watch all the slappers (male and female) who hang about eating each others faces off in the middle of the street.

Leave it.

I actually quite liked the Chantelle/Preston romance, they both tried so hard but in the end just gave in and now look their both still together and you have to say they suit each other really well. The Michelle/Stuart romance just annoyed me like mad as her obsession and the way she kept trying to find little places for them to go just got silly.

[lily.]

Michelle was a scary stalkerish person though.. eek!

[Princess]

Out of the ones I seen I think Prestelle were the sweetest,the best suited and the most likely to stay together and also the getting married helped!

[lily.]

I remember watching Preston and Chantelle and ppl were sayin how he shouldn't be touching her bum etc, cuz he had a girlfriend, and my take on it was that I'd be more upset if my man was looking at another woman the way he looked at her than anything else.

You can say so much with just a look, and he did that a lot during that series.

Ok so I went a bit overboard with examples :whistle:

I have a gazillion more but I'd be here all night!

I agree with Stropz about the eye contact thing.It was often the eyes that said more for Chantelle & Preston and also for Helen & Paul.
I always wondered how the body language people could get it so wrong when they watched.In both couples they would recognise that the girl was the one with the feelings but I think both Preston & Paul both showed more signs than the girls by the way they looked at them and by some of the things they said.
I prefer the relationships that are sweet and innocent,where we realise there's something happening before the couples themselves do.
Watching them slowly falling for each other and even better trying not to.
Much nicer to watch than two people sticking their tongues down each others throats:yuk:

[Sophii3x]

I think Chantelle & Preston and Helen & Paul's relationships were better than the full-on. I loved the chemistry between Chantelle & Preston while they were in the house. I really wanted them to get together, and when Preston said he had a girlfriend I was gutted! Helen & Paul were also soo adorable.

I thought Michelle & Stuart were really sweet at the start, but then it got a bit too much, the same with Nikki & Pete.

Also the couples that aren't full on in the beginning have lasted longer. Helen & Paul split up, but they were together for years! And Chantelle & Preston are still all loved up.

[GiRTh]

I prefer it when they're having it under the table. Get in there my son.:whistle:

:rolleyes: So you'd rather see sex, rather than chemistry and romance?

[BigSister]

awwww i love the ones where they are falling for each other i.e chantelle/preston and helen/paul. i like that in couples anyway if theres a couple in a show that arent together but should be im screaming at tv just kiss already lol. I disnt really mind grace/mikey as well but yeah i prefer the flirting will they wont they to all the snogging and getting together ones

[~Kizwiz~]

Pete and Nikki and Michelle and Stu were off putting and I just didnt need to see that on my screen.

It was so clear it was for the cameras.

I prefer the more subtle relationship on BB

[Chrizzle]

I like them all really.

Its nice to have Chantelle and Preston's mystery romance, but also I thought it was nice when Nikki and Pete were reunited and how happy they were.

I'm against the whole romance thing because they never last, and it's only happening because some people become attached to others. It all breaks down on the outside, and almost all the relationships have proved that. Then the stories are sold to Heat or OK! :rolleyes: Which then becomes one big kiss and tell. The only genuine couple were Helen and Paul, but sadly that ended.

There are my comments. :wink:

[Princess]

Heres a picture of the 4 main couples for comparision.

I liked Nikki and Pete relationship because it cantained both elements. They started off as friends, got to know each other, built up the trust and respect for each other and then fell for each other over time. They both didnt want to fall for each other and denied it for a while. I think people only tend to remember the last week when the were full on and forget the earlier weeks of their relationship.

I thought Helen and paul relationship and Preston and Chantelle relationship were based on genuine bonds, but could not enjoy them completely because they already had a boyfriend/girlfriend.

I disliked Michelle and Stuart relationship, mainly because I did not like michelle.

[lily.]

I remember the earlier weeks when Nikki said there was nobody in there she fancied... and then I remember Nikki leaving and realising how popular Pete was on the outside and then suddenly realising how she felt about him .. Not false at all... ...

Nikki fancied Pete in week three has shown by their kiss in week 3, in week 5 she admit to Lea that she fancied Pete and told Imogen in Week 7 that she liked him. You seem to have a case of selective memory:wink:

[rachb]

I'm sorry but I still don't believe the Nikki & Pete relationship.I'm with Stropz on this one.
Nikki said some horrible things about Pete in the first few weeks then had a sudden change of opinion when first he seemed popular with the housemates then she realised she had nobody else as everyone had paired up.Then on being evicted she knew it was a vote winner.
To gve them any benefit of doubt I'd say at the very best they ended up together because they had nobody else to be in a couple with.
The only couple that really proved me wrong were Lee & Sophie,I really disliked their relationship but they got married and had a baby so it must have been genuine.
I tend to dislike most the ones that come out and insist on telling everyone about their sex lives:yuk:that to me gives them a label of desperate to get in the papers.If the relationships were genuine then surely they'd want to keep some things private.

Aye, maybe so. I just found her to be so false, so maybe I can't remember anything good about her to be honest.

[nodisharmony]

I liked the fact that Chantelle & Preston worked it out.

He really liked her and she liked him.

Relationships forming from reality shows are nice to see and if we see it happen in Big Brother 8 then it will be great viewing too. Even if there is plenty of kissing and touching on the show.

There is nothing wrong with that.
____________________________________

How would you all feel, if two girls came on the show and fell for each other and we saw a Lesbian relationship form on the show.

Would anybody find it offensive or disgusting?

I personally wouldn't!

If it is fair for a guy & a girl to meet and fall in love in Big Brother, then, in 2007 we shouldn't complain in some samesex activities either.

Does anybody wish to comment??


nodisharmony :angel:

I don't find gay relationships offensive at all. It's no different from the straight ones in my opinion.

Watching the relationship develop is interesting for us people watchers, but full on snoggin is a bit much really. It's better if they can be a bit more subtle and if they wanna have a snog, then do it under the covers!

I'm not a prude, I just don't really wanna watch it. I find the psychological part of the relationship more interesting. I like the "will they/wont they" and the sly glances, where you can see it developing.

But, as for the "gay" issue, it's not an issue for me at all. Nor is multiracial/interracial relationships. I'm quite a tolerant person, contrary to my reputation.. :tongue:

I haven't a problem with "Gay" relationships on reality shows, or even in "Soap Opera's", but when there is a girl/girl or guy/guy kissing or physical touching, there is often complaints.

If this did happen in Big Brother 8 I think the media would make a meal out of it and it could make good ratings too.

it is strange how many people still get offended!

In today's world, especially!! Anything goes today!!

Wife-swapping and group-orgies.

So "Stropz", if you were on Big Brother, you would be controversial?

You just never know Nick.. you just never know.

But I would never go on BB so I guess we wont ever know for sure.. LoL

I do not remember Nikki saying anything horrible to Pete in the earlier week? What did Nikki say?

[rachb]

She went into the Diary room and moaned about the fact that everyone was in a couple and there was nobody left for her but Pete and he was *pulling her face* smelly and something else which I can't remember.
To be honest that was the time I think that most that ended up not liking her went off her.I can't remember the exact words but remember seeing it and it wasn't just a small mention of him she had a full rant about how disguisting he was.It was not long before she did that speech about him being lovely,which to be honest was clearly her way of backtracking because she knew he was popular.
She never said it to him she said it in the diary room.I think I remember Pete also saying that Nikki was annoying around the same time.I think for him to go back on his words is one thing as he may just have got used to her ways,but for her to do a complete turn around in her opinions within a few days was just too far fetched.

I remember that clip, but Nikki never mention Pete. she said everyone was in couples and she was left with richard. I have seen never a clip of Nikki ranting about Pete. I agree to disagree with you on the issue.
