I agree with Gail, there is a time and a place and it is not that difficult to not slobber over each other all the time.

What do they do on a daily basis outside of the house? just hang off each other?

I thought Chloe's counter argument were rubbish as well... you can be in love with someone without having to constantly be on top of them.
If she's in love with Stevi, then I'm a 16 year old nymphomaniac.

Maybe this explains why Gail is annoyed, but it's her problem and not theirs .

Hey if they want to hug and kiss then go to another room to do it, it's very awkward around others so I completely agree with her.

Chloe seemed very dumbfounded why people nominated them and why they were getting booed as she couldn't think on what have they done wrong. Surely she must know what the problem is, the clinginess, sensitivity and kissy smoochy antics. She better shape up this week or it be them to go next which is disappointing because Stevi seems like a nice bloke if he would just cop on to those facts above as well and stop being such an eejit around her.

I was wondering if The Tower was 'off limits' as that would be the obvious place to go.

I'm with Gail on this one.
I wondered this also. Maybe they're worried they wouldn't garner enough camera time with just the two of them being ultra dull whispering sweet nothings (literally nothings) to each other.

Or maybe Stevi doesn't want to be on his own with his own pet limpet.

Within reason, no I don't care. It would depend who (if it was two friends of mine for example) and what they were doing, for how long. If it was a small amount of affection now and again, in the BB house, that's fine. They are a couple after all. But if it was ALL the time, all cringey, NO THANKS.

I'd be up for some dogging.
Lmao
It's rude and shows a lack of respect for people in the same living area. I've seen them sat with just a couple of people and basically exclude them by grooming each other and clinging together like a pair of monkeys. Honestly, I have no issue with public affection, but there's a line where it is inappropriate and out of place and basically makes people feel as though they are being intrusive. Have a little respect for the people you're living with and stop being so arrogant about why your so called relationship deserves centre stage at the cost of your housemates. They come across as desperate to prove that they are actually in love. I'd believe it more if they weren't so in your face with it all.
Very good post!

I was wondering if The Tower was 'off limits' as that would be the obvious place to go.

I'm with Gail on this one.
The toilets would be a good choice & it wouldn't be the first time a couple have slipped off & relieved a bit of sexual tension.

But of course that wouldn't give them the airtime they both desperately seek!

Totally agree with Gail, I wouldn't like have to see/hear any couple slobbering over each other a few feet away from me. Bleurgh!
I have to mute the tv every time they come on
The noises that Stevie - in particular - was making the other night were fairly stomach-churning, to be fair.

I did like Gail but I thought her chastising Chloe-Jasmine about her constant snuggling up to Stevie was a bit odd and frankly more about her own insecurities.

It wouldn't bother me at all if they were kissing and hugging! If me and my bloke were in there I don't think we would be as full on as them I concede, but there would certainly be hand holding and cuddling.

I would understand Gail's POV if they were openly being very sexual but they aren't. Some "under the covers" scenes have occured but that happens every Big Brother and is par for the course!

How would Gail have coped with the Anthony/Makosi/Orlaith swimming pool orgy?

Does anyone else think it is Gail's own insecurities causing her to have a problem with Chloe-Jasmine and Stevie being affectionate or do you think she has a legitimate cause for complaint?
No I think Gail had a point & to be fair its not just gail it's nearly all housemates have said its doing their head in.

I thought it was perfectly acceptable what Gail said to Chloe.
Imo, it's all a matter or personal perception. Some people would find it uncomfortable to be around, and others, not so much.

I wouldn't personally choose to be around two people who are constantly sucking each other's faces off. I personally believe there is a time and a place for that kind of behaviour and in front of a house full of people isn't one of them.

So what if they are in love? So are lots of other people but you must also be respectful of others feelings with this kind of thing.

I'm starting to suspect Chloe is quite a selfish person. I noticed last night, not long after Daniel had been told he was the one going to be evicted, she had smiles all over her face when she realised her and stevi were safe. Quite selfish, quite so soon after, I thought.

To be honest I wouldn't like to be anywhere near those two when they are kissing, cuddling and touching each other up.

However, I might make an exception if they agreed not to talk at the same time. I find their conversation (or lack of it) even more unsettling. Surely a real couple with common interests and friends would have more to say than. 'I love you baby', 'I am so glad I met you baby'. They seem to have been together for a while now so surely they can think of something more interesting to say.

BIB And immediately before they announced Daniel's name she was whimpering into Stevi like a frightened puppy. As soon as Daniel's name was mentioned. Wham - giggly smiley girlie.

Yes I would, if the couple were using it to gain airtime and turning it on everytime the camera's glare is on them, as is the case here. If they so desperately feel the need to get physical they can always go into the bathroom where there are no cameras, and do whatever the hell they want. Instead it's a juvenile game of jumping each other's bones for airtime and constant embarrassing exagerrations of their "love" for each other.

Barf.

I've never been into cutesy couple stuff, so it probably would annoy me a lot.

Several housemates have objected to it. Why don't they just use the tree house for alone time and be considerate?

If they like to be seen fine but they shouldn't force voyeurism on people who aren't into it.

As most people on this forum find it cringy and uncomfortable to watch I would imagine that being there live is even more unbearable when they start!!

Public shows of affection are often masking a under lying problem, most people who are happy have no need to grope and snog in public, its a private matter

No not 'touchy feely' but that's not the situation here. They both clearly have issues, are enabling each other, and I find it nauseating to see at times.

Completely disagree - having been younger and very much in love a couple of times we couldn't keep our hands off each over (the only thing visible to others though was our passionate kissing and lovestruck eyes).

No matter what that article says it's the height of selfishness and inconsideration to do that in the bedroom when so many others are trying to sleep. They can suck each other dry anywhere else all day long if they want but that would be intolerable in a coed, full to the brim bedroom.

They are making everyone else uncomfortable, not just Gail.

I dislike PDAs for the most part. A bit of moderate kissing , hand holding, cuddling etc never bothers me . It's just people making slurpy wet noises and chowing down on each other like vampires that grinds my gears . And obvious arse grabbing , THAT is very disrespectful to the person who's arse it is, doing that in public .
I think they are a genuine couple OK, but I think it's very one sided and very early to be talking weddings .

I'd do it anywhere at anytime. I'm not bothered. However I would not do that with other people around just because I understand not everyone is comfortable with that sort of thing and do not want to see it. I do not think Gail is in the wrong for saying she doesn't want to see it either. I think S&C are wrong because they are not clued in enough to recognize how others might feel about what they are doing.

To be honest, I'd rather they just got on with it rather than this sappy bullshit talk about how much they want to. If you can't handle not doing it, and are not going to actually DO it, they shut the hell up!

but why passionately kiss in public, really no need imo, so you were so much more in love than other couples , you could not restrain yourselves until you were in private ?

Also you say "very much in love a COUPLE of times"I presume by that the relationship did not last, therefore I rest my case -under lying problems

Give this guy a gold star! Exactly right.

I have no problem with someone holding hands once or twice a day, or grabbing a kiss and cuddle here and there. But very often these people who are sucking each others faces off, and draping themselves over each other are masking their insecurities.

I had a female relative like that a year ago. Trying to have conversations when she was nearly smothering the guy was very offputting. Anyone would think their love was for real. They got married, and within a couple of weeks broke up!

I think a lot of it is about insecurity and attention.

We passionately kissed in public (please do not misunderstand me, we did not overdo things), in private - wherever we could. We could not stop. If you haven't felt that sort of love and desire for another person I understand, we were lucky.

I am forty, I don't believe that it's unusual to have been utterly in love a couple of times by that age. You cannot 'rest your case' (LOL - utterly ridiculous!).

This as as personal as I am willing to get, but it happened to us at an age where we weren't ready for such a commitment or understanding what had happened to us, then major things got in the way (we had planned to move abroad together and she set things up as she needed more advanced planning for visas and a job etc than I did). In the end she had to go as everything wa set with work contracts and whatnot, and I stayed behind (even that was touch and go). Had she not gone (and if I was man enough to tell her I still loved her at our final meeting she wouldn't have) I have little doubt we would have got over our young insecurities and small differences, and be together now - we were/are soulmates.

We still write but, while very affectionate, we both understand we have to keep our distance. She has two small children by a man she married long ago on the rebound from me and I will not rock the boat in any way there. Having said that, if she wrote to me in a years' time and told me they'd divorced and she had left that country for good I would tell her that I was booking the first available flight to see her to ask her to spend the rest of her life with me.

I would not take no for an answer, but then I would not expect to have to. One sight of each other after so long would be enough. We haven't seen each other for fifteen years, but from our short and perfunctory occasional exchanges I know nothing's changed between us.

That enough for you? If not, you can go and suck on some lemons and then go make misinformed (and just wrong, imo) judgmental calls at someone else

See ya and hope you meet someone who makes you literally dance at the joy of life and love soon. You might **** up (like we did )but as far as I'm concerned once you've been there there are no possible regrets, whatever happens - to have felt like that is the happiest memory of my life
