I've always thought that it was unrealistic for them to think that things could be the same as they were in the house. They were setting themselves up for failure by trying to re-capture the feelings that came with that intense, its-all-about-us environment.
Most couples have a time when the falling-in-love feelings lessen and they have to deal with the feelings of everyday love; they probably had something similar but magnified. If they didn't feel that BB intensity anymore, they might have felt like they were falling out of love, and they might have paniced a bit. Then as the doubt creeps in, the insecurities increase; then all the negatives, fights, differences, digs, etc. increase.
I don't think they had the maturity, experience or role models to recognize this or know how to deal with it at all.
