Jessica and Eric - it was really appreciated!
This thread is a dedication to the real life pairing of Jessica Hughbanks and Eric Stein. We have watched these two grow together throughout this season of Big Brother 8! They have turned from acquaintances to friends, to best friends, to partners in the game, to a couple in the real world. We hope to see their bond continue to grow further than it has since leaving the house. They have made their way into our hearts and we want to thank them for giving us a fantastic summer.
---Thank You---
We would like to thank Marie first, for her constant presence for many of our threads, keeping us updated and discussing the game along with us.
We would also like to thank our inspiration for 200 threads, Eric & Jessica! You have brought people together, helped people find love here and you have also made us fall for you guys. Thanks for coming by and answering our questions when you did. Hope you visit for future threads. After all, this is all for you guys!
I love Eric and Jess because they remind me of innocence. Going from the shy awkwardness of that first date to completely falling for that person, and needing that person next to you through all that you do. They've taught me that no matter where you come from whether it be a big city or a small country town, you can still find that bond, and have an incredible connection with that person. I've seen them grow closer and closer over the summer and it was magical. They weren’t just playing the game for themselves anymore, they were there and playing for each other. The feelings they developed for one another were raw and real. They had they're highs and lows but ultimately they came out of this experience not only stronger as individuals but stronger together...as ONE! – Audrina

I love Eric and Jess so much because they are the first real relationship on Big Brother to this day. They went through the stages you go through when getting into a relationship. They went from being friends... to each day growing closer and closer... to flirting friends…and then eventually they couldn't wait any longer, and finally admitted to feelings for each other. I never in my life have been so invested in a TV reality couple, but with these two you can't help it, they are the cutest couple ever! I get excited seeing them together..and sad when I don't see them together. My only hope now is that they can make it on the outside, and I wish them all the luck and faith in the world. – Michelle

The thing that draws me the closest to Eric and Jessica is the realness and the natural vibes that I get from them. I rarely ship real life couples but these two just drew me in right from the start. Their flirty friendship and fun times in the house kept me entertained and I have them to thank for a great Big Brother season. I wasn’t even about them winning the game that kept me tuned it, it was wondering what will happen after the game is over. I truly hope that these two will continue to bond and grow together. – Alex
Why I love Jessica & Eric: J is for their joyous celebration after Jess' 1st HOH win E is for Eric's move to Kansas S is for streaking and the numerous times Eric did it S is for the strong tie of loyalty they had to each other I is for the intimate bond they shared C is for chatting through the night and way past sunrise A is for America's Player - no one could have done it better
& E is for the endless rounds of beer pong R is for ring pops and Jessica's future proposal I is for the immeasurable amount of fun they brought to the BB house C is for the charming, sweet, lovable, intelligent, competitive, strong, respectful, funny, real, and genuine duo of Jessica Hughbanks & Eric Stein

From the very first episode Eric was my favorite. I just thought he was hilarious, he had a lot of personality and I knew I was going to love him. I wasn't to sure about Jessica in the first episode, but I got the feeds right away and as the 1st week went on I realized she was awesome and they were just giving her horrible edits. Every episode I'd wait for them to have some segment on Jess and Eric, never came till I think week 4. I thought why aren't they showing the funniest people in the house! I loved them from the beginning because they were always honest with each other, their opinions really mattered to each other and that is so important. The game can be very stressful, but they made the best of it and really enjoyed their time in the house. Yeah you're playing a game, but it's also good to have some fun too. Whenever they were together they never failed to make me smile. They always gave off great vibes and just had a real genuine friendship above anything else. And that's something that is very, very rare in Big Brother. – Tiff
I, along with many others, had the chance to witness them grow close from mere strangers to America's sweethearts within two months. We saw them slowly develop this amazing connection that is worth more than all the money in the world. It was a pleasure to watch them go from strategic buddies to hanging out for pleasure and flirt all day, which in turn, ultimately led to them developing strong feelings for one another that have exceeded all friendship boundaries. Their first kiss was unexpected, but a pleasant surprise. Their flirtatious nature and infectious happy go-lucky attitudes have kept me tuned in to watch the feeds to the wee hours of the morning. I never had and I probably never will have the opportunity to see two other people develop such a strong bond such as theirs that has transcended into the real world. Every day they have invited us into their lives and it was always a pleasure. When their time on the show came to an end, it was no longer worth watching. I am forever grateful to them and their family for keeping us updated on their relationship. I wish them all the best and an amazing journey together. I believe that this show has given them much worth more than money and that's each other. Best of luck to Eric and Jessica!! – Shira
For me Eric and Jessica ruled my whole entire summer. It was all I thought about and all I could pay attention to. I am so grateful to have seen two people grow closer together like they have. All the ups and all the downs they are still growing and learning about each other as they grow. I wish them all the luck in the world and I hope they continue to do so. --Beth. <3
Why I love Jessica and Eric. See this summer I had a cancer scare, which at any age is scary but at 30 is just nuts. My family lives in Ga, me in CA, so they werent here to help me deal. It was a really difficult time for me, and I had no one. So while waiting and worrying I would watch the feeds, and I know that this sounds weird but watching Jess and Eric having fun and playing around really helped me through that time. They made me laugh when all I wanted to do was scream and cry. In the end the test came back negative and everything was fine, but it was the longest couple of weeks of my life. As lame as it may sound I dont know what I would have done if I didnt have the feeds and those two. It feels funny to owe so much to two people whom you have never met, but I owe them a lot, and thats why they will alway have a special place in my heart. ---Amanda
B/C EVEN THOUGH THEY LIVE APART, THEY ARE STILL TOGETHER!

B/C Marie Says Eric and Jess are lucky, their fans are funny!
As someone whose been an avid Big Brother fan since Season 3, and has nearly every season on DVD, I am one of the bigger BB fans you will find. Every summer, I spend countless hours watching the feeds, reading the live feed updates, reading commentaries, etc. However, I have never been so completely absorbed with a season of Big Brother as I was this season, and it was not because of the game itself. In past seasons, I always had my favorites and those that I wanted to win. However, I have never really been personally invested in any past BB HG's, and generally once the seasons ended, that's where it stopped for me. This season though, that changed drastically as a result of Eric & Jessica. They came into the house as complete strangers to play a game for $500,000, but they left with so much more. As the season unfolded, I began to dislike most of the HG's for various reasons, but Eric & Jessica kept me hooked on the feeds. Watching them interact together was incredible and entertaining, and I've never been so addicted to the live feeds as I was this season. They were so incredibly fun, mature, smart, and charismatic that they became my two favorite HG's of all time just days after I purchased the feeds. There was an incredible chemistry between Jessica and Eric, and as time went on in the house, they became closer and closer, and could not help but fall for each other. No matter what obstacles came their way, they worked their way through them and it only made them stronger. Since Big Brother ended, they have officially become a couple, and the amazing bond between them has continued to grow stronger. I have never been so invested in a relationship that did not even remotely involve me, and I have never cared so much about two strangers. However, these two are not your typical reality couple, there is something special about them, and I wish them the absolute best of luck in their future. They made it a summer to remember for their fans, and there has never been any couple like them before, and there will never be one again. They are truly one of a kind. ---Kev

this past summer of big brother i found a couple so amazing and genuine i never thought i would care about a so called showmance but then i realized it was more then that,they had true feelings for each other. this year has been very tough for me i had a horrible break up with the man i was with for 7 years and i had a serious medical condition that required brain surgery so needless to say this yr was not that great lol. eric and jessica made me forget for awhile and have fun. who knows how i would have felt without them to make me laugh. thankfully the surgery worked and the realtionship that i thought was compeltely broken things are starting yto work out with us. i also never thoiught i would find an amazing family here who have been here for me when i am down, mad or simpily to have fun and be silly!! so happy 200th thread!!! thanks eric and jess for bringing us all together !! --becky
This was the year I wasn’t going to watch the feeds. THIS was the year or so I thought. Then, I started to feel that magic that was Jeric. I watched videos, read updates and watched the show, and slowly, I fell into dream that they had created with their laughter and fun. I remember watching BB After Dark for the first time and getting upset that they were not focusing on Jess and Eric, and I knew I had to give in and turn on the feeds. The first time I turned on the feeds was after Jess won HOH for the first time. After that happened, my summer became a blur. Every day I ran to see them grow closer to one another and just have the best time. There is something so relatable and real about Jeric that has never been true for any other BB couple for me. Thank you so much to the two of you and your families for making this season of BB the best ever. It was a fun ride, and I’m glad that I found FF to enjoy it with people who felt what I had been feeling all summer long. --Jessica

I've always loved Big Brother, but the one aspect of the show I could never get into was the "showmance" aspect. This past season two people changed that, and also changed my cynical beliefs of how fake and manufactured all these "showmances" are(although most of them probably still are lol). Obviously those two people were Jessica Hughbanks and Eric Stein. And here I sit, almost three months after they were evicted from the house, waiting for updates on what they are doing and hoping desperately that they get the chance to show their stuff on another show. I don't think I'll be able to stop being interested in them for quite a while either! It seems a bit crazy, but I don't feel bad about it. Go Team Jeric! --anonymous

I must have missed something. What does LEO stand for?
Birthday July 21 - August 21
Leo - Latin for "the Lion", called Leon in the original Greek.
Leo is the king or commander and commands very well. Leo can organize, give out duties and be straightforward. Leo always shows consideration for others and is generous to those in poverty.
Leo is ready to love too quickly and then can be hurt, but will soon be ready to love again.

Hey! I'm a Leo too!!! August 15th. I'll be in LEO Alliance!
