Former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga tight end Faysal Shafaat is still on the CBS reality show “Big Brother,” but he also appears to be auditioning for “The Bachelor.”

Shafaat has become increasingly fixated on love rather than loot in his pursuit of fellow houseguest Haleigh Broucher.

“Big Brother” follows a group of people living in a house under constant surveillance with someone being voted out each week.

“I want you to be my girl when we get out of here. I want to spoil you,” Shafaat told Broucher. “.. I just want to spend all day with just you. I think you’ll fall in love with me.”

It’s unclear, however, if those feelings are reciprocated. Broucher doesn’t want her relationship with Shafaat to be too obvious in fear that they will be nominated for eviction together.
