As unlikeable as faye is you can tell producers are trying to protect their golden couple by and transferring all the drama on faye and teddy to take the focus off creepy snake Jake.
I agree that the producers seem to be pushing Jake & Lib, but I do think some of this is down to Jake being careful to maintain plausible deniability.
Jake said what he said about not fancying Liberty early on so he can claim he grew more attracted to her as he got to know her, and make that part of his character arc.
Since Jake clocked that Liberty was his best route to the final he's been very careful what he's said and done. If it comes out about him egging the others on is Casa Amor he can say he "didn't mean it like that" or that he "was joking and didn't think they'd actually do anything". (Using quotes because I bet he says at least one of these phrases at some point lol).
Jake's left wiggle room for himself whereas Faye outright saying "I don't think Teddy is funny" leaves no room for doubt. Teddy's going to know exactly what she meant by that, as do we at home, and she can't talk her way out of it without coming across as a liar.
I dislike both Jake and Faye and I think they're both playing the role they've decided they want the public to see them as, but I think he's better at saying things in a way that means he can claim he did/didn't mean it depending on how it's received.
