That's true but it's their choice.

Big Brother producers STILL after all these years seem to think that it's all we want to see and so push it constantly, dominate the highlights with it and basically take airtime away from the other more interesting things going on in the house.

The show is about human relations. They have to reflect what is going on in the house. Jade and Nick are spending a lot of time together and the other housemates are questioning it. If you can't stand watching such developments you shouldn't be watching a show featuring good looking young people with nothing to hang on to in there but each other.

Don't get me wrong, part of me being so interested in Big Brother all these years is that I love to watch the housemates reactions to different hardships and scenarios and how certain friendships and relationships evolve in the secluded environment but it's the whole way any showmance takes over the entire show that annoys me so much.
So what do you think?

I think the word "showmance" should be banned. I have seen it used for years by people who think it's clever when it is not. Whether I enjoy the relationship between two people developing on BB depends entirely on whether or not I like the people involved.
