Skye's Love Heart Eyes Are Looking at Jake, Ryan and Leo
Skye's come under fire for crushing on three boys in the House... so we hit up one of them - Jake - for his take on who she may ACTUALLY like!
During Monday night’s Eviction show you tweeted that Ryan is Skye’s new “flavour of the month” – what did you mean by this?
My tweet got a pretty epic response on Monday night! What I meant by “flavour of the month” is that Skye is young, single, and up for a good time, not a long time. She's totally entitled to be enjoying herself and the company of all the Housemates (namely Ryan) in the Big Brother House. There are no lock-in contracts with Skye!
How comforting is it inside the House to have one person in particular that you’re close to?
Having someone that you're close to inside the Big Brother House is imperative! Everyone is seeking confirmation and reassurance that the other Housemates 'like' them, that they're not being backstabbed, and that they're able to express themselves without criticism; it's human nature to seek that reassurance. Having a person that you know has got your back makes any bad day seem OK, because you've always got someone to turn to.
You openly admitted to crushing on both Skye and Lisa during your early days in the House – does being around someone 24/7 mess with your emotional clarity?
Of course. Being around anyone for a long period of time allows you to feel a stretch of emotions towards that person/s.
With no real-world distractions, to what degree does boredom weigh in on romantic relationships inside the House?
Having no real-world distractions, you quickly begin to invest spending your time to get to know people for who they are, the stories they've lived, and the morals that they live by. For me, I was never bored in the Big Brother House; there was always something for me to do so I wouldn't say boredom played any influence on my 'romantic' relationships. However, with time being on your side in the Big Brother House, relationships and romance have the ability to evolve quite quickly.
What are your thoughts on Skye and Leo’s relationship?
As I said, there are no lock-in contracts with Skye! She's young, bubbly, ostentatious, and looking for a bit of fun. Leo is a wise guy; he either seems to genuinely really like Skye or he seems to have an Intruder’s understanding of how popular Skye is on the outside and wants to stay close to her to prolong his time in the House.
Skye’s rejection of Leo’s advances seemed to take him by surprise – what do you make of this?
I think Skye might have some foresight and understanding that Big Brother is an individual game, thus letting Leo into her world will subtract any chance of her taking the title.
Skye told Leo that he needs to take himself off the pedestal – too harsh or on the money?
I think Skye is right with that statement. Leo doesn't make any effort with other Housemates. Maybe her words will force him to befriend some of the new Intruders and show a different side of Leo that Australia is yet to see. Intruder Richard seems to have voiced some of the same feelings I had towards him whilst I was in there and attempting to get know him.
Would Ryan and Skye hooking up strengthen or destroy their chances at the title?
Ryan and Skye hooking up would make for great TV, and some pretty sweet hashtags! In terms of winning Big Brother, I think it'd let David or Priya's light shine for the crown.
Out of Ryan and Skye, who do you expect would stab the other in the back first?
I haven't seen either Ryan or Skye backstab anyone yet... If it came down to it, I think they'd simultaneous Nominate each other and Australia would be left to make the same tough decision as to which one is their favourite!!
Do you think a House relationship helps or hinders a Housemate’s chances of winning?
Hinders! 100%. As I said before, Big Brother is an individual game; a relationship can lead you to the final but it won’t give you the crown!
