Thank you angelus1234! Glad someone agrees with me on this...
lol yeh i know...Buffy wanted her!...but im more of a Fangel/Spaith Fan...than a Baith fan lol.
In the DVD box set for season three, writer Doug Petrie states as much in the commentary portion of Bad Girls.
Next, when Buffy is all excited in biology/chem class and can't stop GUSHING about Faith, making poor Xander's eye twitch (when he still had both) and making Willow nervous is a pretty good sign of someone crushin big time.
And in End of Days, Buffy, in a way, tells us she was aware of it herself, if somewhat confused, by telling Spike
"Look, I am tired of defensiveness and weird, mixed signals. You know, I have Faith for that. Let's just get to the truth here..."
That was when Buffy & Spike were admitting how they felt about spending the night with each other the evening before. Love context. I was thrilled, as were a lot of other faithful fuffy subtexters, that Joss & Co, in a brief yet satisfying moment, did not forget or let that 'relationship' fall to the wayside with not even a mention of the subtext in season 3 & 4, plus the crossover on Angel.
It came out of the blue and it was great.
That tells that it wasnt just faith pushin the sexual tension...Buffy also wanted it too...but she just didnt want to admit it
