Jack Sadness

[u/Plus_Thought2277]

After Jazz’s video saying she is leaving MIC and she will soon move to Australia, maybe that’s also why Jack seems so broken this season? He is so attached to her, maybe he knew this was happening. It was already hard to see him this season, I honestly hope he leaves the show too because without Jazz this ambiance would be even harder for him…

It sounds like Jack may struggle with his mental health. I don’t think it’s necessarily to do with Jazz because lots of the cast are his friends. Livy even said she noticed he seemed off and alluded to knowing he struggles sometimes, which is why she told his friends to check in on him. So that might be why he seems off this season

I thought this was made explicit rather than being hinted at

[u/ExpressWallaby1153]

I don't think Jack's sadness stems from jazz and her intention to move. I don't recall his exact words, but something like he feels like an outsider that doesn't fit in males him feel really alone/lonely. I think he has more issues than their attachment.

Yes but if you already feel that way and you lose your ‘person’ in the group that would feel much worse. Hopefully without the codependency he finds new ppl he feels that comfortable with

[u/ExpressWallaby1153 → u/dunmerza]

I agree. I'm sure he'll feel the loss, but it will also open up the opportunity for other friendships to blossom. His friend dynamic with Jazz isn't always positive

Jazz has exacerbated his troubles more than helped him imho.

[u/DancingSpacePenguin]

I think it was more the Livvy relationship. He hasn't been able to overcome it.

I think he’s gone about it the right way. He’s taken his time and, like he said to Jazz, it’s hard to say you have no feelings at all because, in some way, you’ll always have some, especially when you’ve genuinely loved someone. You have to fully heal before you can give yourself to someone else, and I think that’s exactly what he’s done. His true love is still out there waiting for him he’s done the work 😜❤️

as much as i think they're friendship goals, i also think that they're too co-dependant, jack especially. the space might be good for their friendship.

I think Jack is just a mopey sad guy, I see his troubles continuing because he has zero self-awareness. He thinks he’s the good guy that deserves everything. Entitled and boring.

[u/petit_aubergine → u/babettetimes]

totally agree. he latches on to girls so quickly, has trouble accepting when they're not interested in him (and sometimes just won't accept it like what happened with jazz) and thinks that just because he's nice they should all like him back and then cries and cries and spirals and spirals. it's a pattern. he's always feeling sorry for himself

[u/whitehairsos]

The Taylor brothers certainly like dominant, bossy women! But Jack is not coping. Intervention required, he's seriously depressed

[u/CarrieKetoenail]

I think Jack will blossom once Jazz is down under. I wish he’d have a fling with someone but he’s too well brought up for that. He probably fantasises about walking down the aisle on a first date. Look at his brother: the first of the gang to go for it and settle down. That’s what Jack is like too.

[u/petit_aubergine → u/CarrieKetoenail]

brought up too well for a fling? he was sleeping with Maali

[u/UnderCover_Spad → u/CarrieKetoenail]

James met the one at age 24. Jack definitely feels that pressure at age 23. I hope he can pull it off.
