We're forced to become invovled in their relationship as it was a recurring storyline for CBS this season. It started off with a segment on the highlights, then zingbot, then a family segment where they aired their negative views about Christine especially since she is religious, then a segment with her husband on his thoughts. Viewers at home aren't thinking, "This isn't about gameplay so I shouldn't pay attention to it". They have the right to boo her over her gameplay or anything else she's been involved with in the show. It was more her family that stirred it up bringing in her religious background rather than her husband, who made light of the situation by creating a humorous VT for the show regarding the issue.
Regarding Jon & Neda, he had only been dating his girlfriend for a month before entering BB. He realised he liked Neda more but waited until he was out of the house to speak to her before doing anything because in reality, he had spent more time (3 months) with Neda than he had with his actual girlfriend.”
I'm not blaming Julie or Christine for not hugging, I'm blaming the crowd reaction. Not that I care - I haven't even noticed the other houseguests hug Julie, I thought they normally shook hands. No big deal either way
Featuring Cody's and Christine's relationship in two episodes out of 30 odd is hardly a central storyline. The first signs we saw of their relationship (i.e. the stroking/touching) was in the same episode as Zingbot, if I remember correctly. Then a few episodes later, we got her family segment. If that's a 'big' storyline this series then the show must be struggling, my goodness!!!!!
Her husband hasn't been off Twitter calling her out for it, so he's played his part - he isn't innocent. Twitter is the most vile, hatred website ever. Anything and everything that can be used against you will be. He shouldn't be stirring the pot when he knows full well Christine - his wife - will be attacked. She already is without his help. If I were him, I'd be telling them to back off, not adding to it.
As for the Jon situation, I don't see what difference it makes how long you've been with them. Jon still "disrespected" and humiliated his girlfriend, but because he's "likeable" and Christine's not, I guess he gets away with it. Damn, that eye roll smilie is missed.

Another one who thought this was some huge storyline? Really? I can honestly say up until Christine got those boos, it didn't really cross my mind. I guess the game really is turning into BBUK since people are more focused on all this nonsense rather than the game, although, there's not much game being played this series, is there? So I can see why people are scraping the barrel to look for things to discuss!
