I follow Jake on Twitter. He's a fun guy, rarely posts anything about Tim, so don't think he would have much trouble NOT talking about him. I doubt he wants his experience to be about Tim. And he wouldn't want the public to think thats what got him on the show, just being Tims flatmate.

Well done Walden. More "Breaking News" than Spoiler!
I posted this in the 2014 BB Launch Thread, not too sure how it's in a thread of it's own. But I definitely did not make the title.
Yes but he's still beautiful. Blame the producers, not Jakey.My interest in him just waned after finding out they've casted him via Tim. All kinds of wrong!

This chick was throughout my audition rounds in 2013!! She got really mad when the first thing I asked her was does her carpet match the drapes! Haha, it was the first thing I thought of where my eyeline was....she's VERY tall.

But have to admit it will be hard for anyone to not at least mention that they live with last years winner.I follow Jake on Twitter.

Actually out of all the guys that I have seen thanks to the leak of the mic pics, I think that either Jake or Lawson will be my favorite guy this season.
Paging @Timdormer
Jake's a cool guy from what I could tell from the Post BB thread. But yeah, let's us oldies show up at an audition and hope to stand a chance. Tim's bloody housemate lol plus all the connections we found out post BB that HMs had with previous ones. Okkkkkkk

It probably did get his foot in the door but he had to do well on the other stages you'd think to get cast. And much as I would love to have another Tim Dormer in the house I don't think Jake is like Tim at all.
His last Twitter post was on August 28:
Jake Rich @jakerich55 · Aug 28
Life's a journey, I know that, and it doesn't come with a road map, so live it up til it's gone #liveitup

I agree... if he weren't worthy of being a HM then he wouldn't be in there. I think it's more a question of how people even get that face time.It probably did get his foot in the door but he had to do well on the other stages you'd think to get cast.

This past year really opened my eyes when suddenly all these HMs knew previous ones... not because of BB but from before. I don't know the population of Melbourne for example but the chances of say 10 people all having connections amongst each other over 2 seasons of BB in a city of how ever many million seems rather suss.

He dropped the bombshell on Kyle & Jackie O. Wonder how this will go down publicly?

"No... I don't have a room-mate". WTF?

Hmmm what are the odds really? Still, I doubt they'd put someone in purely for being connected to Tim, but I'm sure a good word helped him out. If Jake is a dud then it's annoying, if he is a good HM then I don't really object. Remember that it was revealed that Tim is long time friends with Bree Amer, now maybe that helped him out maybe not, but no one can deny Tim was a worthy addition to the series. Hopefully Jake is the same, otherwise WTF?!
If he is a great housemate I couldn't care less who he lives with.
If he isn't, then maybe I'll be a little upset.
This is a game show people, not a presidential election. There are no rules that the housemate of a previous player can't enter.
I don't see Alex casting him simply because he lives with @Timdormer -- I'm sure he is an interesting character.
