Is This the House’s Most Unlikely Friendship?
He’s the out-of-place awkward guy who can’t seem to say the right thing. She’s the friend-to-all sunny bombshell with her heart on her sleeve.
It may seem an unlikely pairing, but David and Skye might just be forging the House’s newest (and most unexpected) bond.
We saw a glimmer of a strange new attachment forming last week when David and Skye found themselves mutually afraid they’d be on the Nominations chopping block. When David told Skye he had a “gut feeling” he was a goner, Skye let him know he wasn’t alone.
“Your gut tells you I’ll be there with you,” she said.
“I certainly don’t want to be up against you – because I see you’ll be beating me good and proper,” David bolstered Skye’s confidence. “I think you’ve got a really big fan base out there.”
But it wasn’t until the Illusions Party this week that their mutual appreciation became a solid foundation on which to form a friendship.
You see, David has been feeling very much on the outer since his Housemates slung him straight to the top of the Nominations tally with a whopping 18 points. And Skye’s nothing if not a kind-hearted collector of strays.
“In the last 48-72 hours I have received a lot of negative criticism,” David confessed to Skye, who knows exactly he feels – she’s received her fair share of undesirable ‘feedback’ from Housemates (mostly regarding her overzealous consumption of ‘jelly’ and tendency towards tantrums!)
“You feel like people just don’t get you,” she empathised.” Like whatever you say, they portray it in a totally different mannerism.” (We’re guessing she meant ‘manner’.)
But then, with a solemn face, David thanked Skye for something that brought tears immediately to her eyes! Namely, that nobody but Skye had bothered to even talk to David throughout the course of the evening so far.
“This is a moment where I have gone, ‘you are far more mature than I ever thought’,” he told her. “You’re a beautiful person.”
“Everyone in this House is so mean to you,” Skye said tearfully, though David reassured her of his characteristic thick skin, and with a hug the bond was sealed.
With Skye’s deep sympathies aroused and David’s respect assured, we suspect this will be a lasting friendship. Or at least, it’s gotta be better than the former Pair partners who have left them both far behind… Right?
