What will the effect of the new showmance be on the fauxmance? Will JJJ step it up to compete or will it flounder now that something real has popped up in the house which BB will invariably now focus on and drop the fauxmance like a ton of used Kleenex?

And what will be the effect of the showmance upon the bromance considering that JJ2 is now courting the only that girl JJ1 expressed any real attraction to from the beginning but who was in a relationship and has subsequently switched her status to "available" for JJ2?

All these romance obsessed little girlies - will wet themselves with the excitement of it all!

One of the great ironies of course if the new showmance takes over from the fauxmance and costs them the game is that if Josie hadn't been instrumental in putting Keeva out of the house then JJ2 might never have entered the house in the first place.

I don't know, there isn't any depth behind Corin/JJ2 though, I doubt there will half as much interest in them tbh

They slept together merely holding hands. Prior to this Corin was dancing around the living room making "thank you god" gestures to Jo who she has been confiding in because he had agreed to spend the night with her. They tried to go to the nest together for some private time but BB said it was out of bounds.

A fauxmance is a fake mutually beneficial gameplan romance to win favour with the public. A showmance is a romantic relationship formed within the context of a telly program.

I'm not the official dictionary on this but my take is that the likes of Helen and whatshisname (I really can't remember just now) can be clearly defined as a showmance. Was it real? Only they know.

What we have with JJJ is not a romance other than their own speculation, we have no proof (snogging, bonking, other less penetrative acts etc.) that they are romantically involved. Just because they talk about it doesn't mean that it exists and JJ's wincing when it gets a bit hairy is more evidence to the contrary.

oh ok, thank you I do think Helen and Pauls was very real though, they stayed together for a few years after the show too and that was back before the whole couple thing was a money spinner

Anyway whatever lables you wish to put on them, we have 3 relationships all linked and the OP was asking what impact will they have on each other.
