Some celebs get given bonuses for getting in showmances?

Its been four days. This isn't normal human behaviour.

it too conveniently fills the highlights

Throw in the fact we didn't actually see Helen/Paul/Derek decide who gets the "romantic date" reward and it is highly suspect, yeah

Scripted, without a doubt.

Tbh I think the only real problem is Chad. He comes from a dating show doesn't he? It's all he's looking for... and if he wasn't doing this to Amelia, it wouldn't have made Sam feel the need to admit his feelings just yet

But also chad has no fans in the uk, his publicist would have told him to jump into storylines to build a profile surely

That's what I was thinking. That was really odd...

I hate the fact that we always get a showmance shoved down our throats each series. If anything develops the highlights shows will be full of it.

Chad and Amelia isn't a showmance, it is true love.
