I think Liberty is right - they aren't suited. She is far too needy and attention seeking for Jake. He needs a more robust girl who doesn't demand his every minute. When she was going on and on about the heels and eyelashes and being messy I read his feelings as "right, I'm never going to get it right for this girl - I'll let her go." Why should he flog a dead horse? She's confronted him 3 or 4 times in recent days, it probably gets a bit tired after a while and even though he's not the brightest he can see that she's more or less decided. Infact, he said as much in the diary room.
I'm a committed feminist, my usual home on here is the feminism boards, I always see things from a woman's pov but if I were on Love Island (ha!) I would have been the Jake in this relationship. It's a game show. They've known each other 7 weeks. For her to declare herself actually in love with him is ridiculous. She couldn't even let himself cook the eggs without sliding her bum over the counter to demand a kiss. It's too much, suffocating.
Can we apply the same caution when airing our feelings about Jake as we are being asked to about Faye please? I've seen him called odious, shit and a cunt on Mumsnet and his height and looks ridiculed.
That scripted nonsense in the petal pool ... don't make me laugh. And all of that scene lovingly shot with a film camera filter on to look even more romantic and inter-cut with scenes of Liberty and Jake doing separate things in the villa. Manipulation much.
Why was it twice only Faye on hand to comfort Liberty - when she had told her she isn't friends with her just the evening before? Why listen to someone who claimed Jake was like a brother to her but has done a complete volte-face on that because he voted for her in the recent vote as did Liberty. Strange behaviour from Liberty there. I don't think it's natural.
It's plain as day who the powers that be want to win Love Island. My letter of protest will be a strong one if they bloody win!
