In fact I'm surprised we don't see more lustful behaviour on BB with them trapped in the house 24/7, it's the "we're pretending to be in a Romeo & Juliet love story" that I find deeply annoying.

Again, I think the showmance thing is just your perception of her behaviour. I don't think she sees it as that at all. but, i explained all that that above, I guess.
I would say it started off with lust, yep, then moved swiftly to infatuation (a word I used in my post). Is it 'love'? Probably not, but differently people use the word in different ways anyhow, I guess. either way, she has clearly genuinely fallen for him. People do the same thing on holidays etc all the time.
I do believe her obsession with him is real though and not a cynical attempt to manipulate the public.
I think the showmance thing is a knee jerk reaction these days. I think hardcore fans are just paranoid about it and see it in everything without taking the actual HM and their character into account.
