So these showmances often cause confusion and interest RE the above.? The edits will often give plenty of time to them but this is a reflection of the public interest in same.?

...hmm, I'm not sure Mick...with other housemates..?..I think it could go either way in that if they show disapproval of the showmance and say it's fake..?..then that could be that they're worried about airtime themselves and so are definitely self aware of their actions in the house..?...or it could be that they see connections and non connections much more than us because we only see highlights so they pretty much know and feel the 'fake'...I can see what you're saying if it were livefeed but with highlighted shows only, I'm not sure that there is much interest in it for me...
