It was no secret that Caleb developed an intense crush on Amber this summer and even when his affections weren't reciprocated, those feelings persisted — at times to an uncomfortable level. "I didn't want to hurt his feelings in the house," Amber told BuzzFeed News. "I tried to let him down in a very positive way. Maybe if I was more blunt and forward, it might have stopped. I've never been in a situation like that where you're in a house with that person and you can't escape them. I was trying to be as positive as I could."

Does Amber, like many viewers, think she was evicted for not welcoming Caleb's advances? In short: yes.

"Even though Frankie was behind a lot of it, it did feel that way because he used us not being on good terms to get me evicted," she said. "If I would have been on good terms with him and liked him a little bit more, it would have changed my whole game. But I'm not going to lead somebody on for $500,000. I'm sorry. That's crazy. My morals are far more important than money. Money will go. I was robbed, but whatever."

And lest you think time apart has softened Caleb's feelings for Amber, he still believes there's a chance for them to be together. "She told me numerous times that if she likes me, she would tell me afterwards," Caleb revealed to BuzzFeed News.

"We're in a game, we're in front of cameras, we're mic'ed up — I think there were a lot of things she wanted to tell me that she couldn't with the cameras around. I thought that maybe God put her in the house just for me. She lives an hour and a half away from me, her dad works on the military base my brother flies helicopters on, we both grew up with dads who were ex-military, and went through our parents divorcing. What more is there to do with our relationship other than putting a ring on her finger?"
