Yeah, that's the one thing I never really ~get~ about the showmance detractors - the cynicism. I don't love showmances, but that doesn't mean I think the majority of them are fake. I think it's perfectly possible and in fact quite likely that you could get to like someone a lot in a short space of time. Where else do you first meet someone by spending 24 hours a day living with them? It usually takes weeks, months and years because dates and whatnot are spread over a longer period of time. So I do think most showmances that begin in the house are genuine, whether or not they can work in the real world is another question altogether however.

For me, showmances are only worthwhile if they act as a vehicle to entertaining content. If your relationship is a mess and/or is affecting the rest of the house, I'm game (see: Steverly, Chiggy, Steph and Jeremy etc). If nothing's happening, I'm not interested (see: Kris and Sophie, Scotty and Megan etc).

I very much agree with this. If it's entertaining then yay I don't care if it's a showmance but it's when the focus lands on tedious relationships such as Bianca and Jamie it becomes a chore to watch

[Jamie89]

Like others have said I just find them tedious to watch.

I'll admit I'm normally cynical about them too when yeah you have a point that stuff like that is likely to happen naturally and I've been wrong in the past (Grace & Mikey for example), but mostly it's just that I don't find them very interesting.

i don't see a showmance in Ashley & Ginuwine

[Nicky91]

me being bored by all the moaning about the showmances

[Kazanne]

If Ashley or Genuwine were people we didn't like we would be hating their showmance, personally I find it a bit boring whoever it is and BB cant get enough of it.for me it kinda ruins peoples chances as their own personalities get lost in the romance.

i'm for now glad that Ashley just wants to have a good time in the house with him, if it were daniel the creep i would be very disappointed in ashley i must admit

The guy has 9 kids to an unspecified number of women something tells me if he's unlucky in love it's probably down to him.

I very much doubt he's been married.

[jaxie]

I've think we've seen too many showmances in the past and people are tired of the show focusing on fake romance.

It's not the hm's fault that the producers choose to focus so heavily on them. and why does there always have to be an ulterior motive? Flirting and all that is fun?

I don't have an issue with them pairing up, as you say if you put age similar, good looking people together some of them will get off.

It's just focussing on it that bugs me. If it was like a subplot to everything else it wouldn't bother me.
