Jake's behaviour has been dissed on Twitter for quite a while so maybe it is the producers finally picking up on it?
Not sure he is being stitched up- there is a lot of unseen stuff so maybe the girls have been seeing more than we realise.
The main thing is Liberty is genuinely such a lovely uncalculating person- in contrast Jake does seem as he is playing a part. He has more fun with the boys than her- and he is quite patronising.
Re the 'I love you', considering how it is such a massive deal for them all, it is suss that he was happy to make her his gurrfriend before Casa Amor (
) but not declare his feelings.
It does feel like he was waiting for a grand moment.
