Not surprised to see the segment on this budding showmance last night. It's been brewing for a little bit now. The thing is, Cory knows how bad showmances can be and is doing everything in his power to avoid being in one. Like last night him and America were in bed and he said he wants to cuddle, will America is all in for a showmance and flirtingly says something like "Is that all you want to do is cuddle" to whcih he replies not on the show.
He is very aware of what to do for his game. He has even done some camera talking apologizing for stopping vote flips. Says he understands it's good for drama, but those particular flips were not good for his game.
Here's the problem though, showmance or not, they are already viewed as a pair. Just like Cameron/Red are a pair. Just like Felicia/Cirie/Izzy are a group. Eventually they will be dealt with as such, there's no avoiding it
