I actually think it's quite a weird match up. I was not expecting him to have feelings for her at all. She doesn't seem like his type.
He's playing her to get ahead in the game. He knows she's popular and is using it to his advantage. Creep.

Personally I wouldn't hook up with a 20 year old but then again it really just depends on what kind of a soul she is. In Skye's case hell no she is far too deep into the "I think I am still in school" phase. Men at 30 don't go for that generally speaking which may be why people are questioning his intentions.The ten year age gap is creepvIlle. If it was a 30 and 40 year old, sure. But a 20 year old? He sure isn't attracted to her intellectually.
I dated 30 year olds when i was 16, and plenty of them were way sillier than me, get over the age thing people, it really doesn't matter much in your 20s.
And I think they are a pretty even match , Skye isn't as dumb as she acts, and mainly has a speech impediment.
And Leo is not as smart as he thinks - lately he has a lost and dumb look permanently.
And yeah he may find intelligent women attractive - does not mean they find him attractive, they wouldn't he is a body building nothing, with no education if he left home at 15.
If you are a teenager it's a huge deal!I dated someone 20yrs older than me, I didn't think it was a big deal
That and where Leo is from (Canada) a lot of women look like Skye. Out of all the ladies she and Aisha are the lookers for sure.

Skye is nowhere near as unintelligent as we think she is (or as, I believe, she has trained herself to portray herself as - apologies for poor sentence construction).
In last night's episode, she showed this spectacularly by a) not taking Leo to the sanctuary (she's treading carefully with him) and b) taking Priya and Jason to the Observatory.
IMO, and I've felt this since the about episode 4-5, she is quite smart. She sticks up for herself with valid arguments. She doesn't always express herself perfectly, but the rationale to her argument is good.
I think they intrigue each other. They both recognise that the other is not their usual choice for a partner, but something attracts them. For Skye, I think Leo would bring out that sensible side of her. I think if the dated for any length of time, it would be a period of personal growth and maturing for sky. For Leo, I think he sees that more mature and sensible side of her and that's what he finds fascinating - because he was not expecting it.
They are inching closer and closer to acknowledging their feelings, otherwise why would he ask her if she was annoyed that he kissed Sandra? If he wasn't interested in her, there is no way he would ask her that. And if she wasn't interested in him, there is no way she woudl have admitted that she was.
I believe each one is waiting for the other to make the defining move. I do think they could date (short-term) but I think their differences would eventually make them realise they are not perfect long-term.
Skye was the first one to walk up to Leo and comment on his appearance though and relate her own to his. There is no doubt she was attracted to him from the very beginning.You don't think Skye sees his body? I doubt she cares about more than that at this point in this short game. If she thinks a show mance will help her win, maybe she will go for it. I think Skye plans on winning more than she cares about romance.
Is the gap between Cat and Lawson about 10 years? I don't remember.The ten year age gap is creepvIlle. If it was a 30 and 40 year old, sure. But a 20 year old? He sure isn't attracted to her intellectually.
