Given that she was declaring her love for him a couple of weeks ago, it just seemed odd to me. I know that we could argue that she would be cagey about what she was saying on camera or she was keeping her cards close close her chest, but thats not how I read it.
Can't really speak for anyone else, but from the ages of 18-22, I was falling in love with any guy that showed me the blindest bit of interest. Was convinced it was pure love too, even though in reality it never was. Let's not forget how young some of these contestants are, even if they don't necessarily look it (am still baffled Faye/Chloe are as young as they are - look way older to me!).
