No, seriously\u2014the second she walked into the BB28 house, he pretty much fell head over heels for her.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">Though their relationship kept budding on the fan-favorite reality series, not even their showmance\u2014and Rome\u2019s public declaration of love for Lyric\u2014could save him from being voted out on Thursday\u2019s live eviction episode.

I don\u2019t want you having a huge target on your back because of me.\u2019 That\u2019s why we were trying to separate here and there inside the house. But when she told me to my face that she was gonna vote for me no matter who was next to me, I believed her,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/social\/google.1467f37.svg\" alt=\"Google\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Add Cosmopolitan as a preferred source in your Google search results.<\/p>\n<p>Use your Google account to add this to your settings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-dynamic-svg=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/info-regular.348beca.svg?primary=%2523ffffff\" loading=\"lazy\" data-testid=\"dynamic-svg-base\" height=\"auto\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"\" class=\"css-1t9pz9x eblc50z6\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Add to Google settings<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">Rome continued, \u201cAnd it stung a little bit seeing that the vote wasn\u2019t from her. But then after a little reflection, I understand fully. She needed to gain some sway with the other side. It\u2019s all good. All\u2019s forgotten. No love lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">As for his grand gesture, telling Lyric he loved her in front of the whole house? It came nearly a week after Lyric predicted it on the July 15 live feeds.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">Elsewhere during his EW interview, Rome also claimed their PDA wasn\u2019t premeditated, admitting that it would have happened whether he won the Blockbuster or not.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">\u201cEither I won the Blockbuster, she was gonna run into my arms, and we were gonna kiss there, or if I was getting kicked out of the house, it was gonna be a big show in front of everybody,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"14\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">Well, there ya have it.
