Romances are always favoured, Look how much time has been devoted in previous series to the likes of Helen & Paul, Pete & Nikki, Chanelle & Ziggy, Noirin and half the house ETC.

It's nothing new, it's just a rare case that both HM's are popular with the general audience.

Pete and Nikki was a fraud, Chanelle and Ziggy was a fraud, Noirin and her boyfriend were frauds .....

Helen and Paul were real .....

..... and you forgot Michelle and Stuart, who lasted for a year after their series finished .....

Hardly matters if the relationships are real or not, as long as it's a storyline in the house the production team will use it. JJJ is the biggest storyline this year so the production team are obviously gonna focus on it.

The same would apply if it was anyone else.

JJJ as you correctly said is the biggest story of this year but the thing is it was the producers who created this storyline in the first place. Before the first wave of new HMs entered the house and told JJJ about BB focusing on the "will they won't they" speculation there was nothing other than a lot of strange stalker activity from Josie. Since then, with the knowledge of what BB were showing they have perpetuated this flat-line fauxmance in order to carry them to the finish. The only palpable development of their relationship since that time being that JJ1 will now say "I love you" at the drop of a hat. It is a storyline designed to appeal primarily to the type of people who spend the most money on phone ins.
