Jade 2013 Appreciation thread

For sure. I think he's saying what many of us have been for awhile although I don't think he's coming from a pure place with this new realisation... more that he's doing damage control after him and his sister trashed Jade and copped flack for it.

I found it more interesting that his mother's not a fan of the relationship (whatever it is). It makes me wonder what kind of girl she thinks is suitable for her son if she doesn't support him dating a gorgeous, sweet, hard working girl who obviously cares about him.

Jade comes across as very vapid and superficial to me. There's nothing really there of substance that grabs me so I can totally empathize with Ed's mother in wanting no guy in her family getting in a serious relationship with her. We the public don't all see in jade what you jade fans apparently see. Besides she's in love with the notion of Ed, not the real Ed. When that realisation dawns on her I can totally see jading taking every cent Ed has earnt over his career.
 
Superficial? How is she superficial? Us Jade fans support Jade because we pay attention to what she says, we know that she's not superficial or vapid or interested in financial status if you've listened to her. By seeking stability in Ed she seeks emotional stability, she values that he wants to start a family and has the same family values and keeps repeating that over and over.

It was a very short career apparently, 26 games? Don't think he raked in the big bucks.If his sports management career had taken off,i doubt he'd be in the BB house for 3 months.
 
Is it her game plan to play the poor me to garner sympathy from the viewers to want to get rid of Ed? They are all playing for a prize and all have their own way of playing the game. She may see him as a threat.
I hope she makes it to the end.

Dunno, but she'd be playing it pretty well lol! I remember in early days everyone was discussing the possibility of this and that the comments she was saying were for entertainment purposes. She's certainly very persistent and I think anyone else by now would have backed off but thats kind of what makes it interesting to watch because nobody can figure out why she keeps doing it and whether it's a game plan or what. If it's a game plan, I'd be surprised but yet I'm aware that her nominations have been very strategic so she is thinking of the game too. I also hope she makes it to the end.
 
I think she can seem superficial because she says things like "My x left me for an ugly girl" and she's really into muscle guys .... and went on about how she's a size 6 then Mikki ended up crying ... and goes on about how she loves her looks .. does that multiple times ...

I'm not trying to bash her! Just saying why she could seem that way ....
 
Yeah but if we pick comments like that we could say pretty much everyone in that house is superficial because they've said statements of the sort. I can see how it can be perceived that way but those comments need to be looked at on a deeper level for them to be understood properly. Her ex left her and she's bitter about it so she's not talking nice about the ex. She didn't say the size 6 comment in relation Mik, she just said that I need a smaller size, stating the obvious. Sure she knows she's good looking but so does Tahan & Ed, why pick on Jade.

Yes, that's what you may see! But I on the other hand see a completely different person who is beautiful inside and out. She might not be the smartest, funniest or loudest of the bunch but that's doesn't detract from her as a person. I also don't think you can call her superficial at all because she certainly isn't, if she was then wouldn't she be hanging out with the pretty people like Tahan and her 'cool' kids bunch. No, she makes her own friends and stays loyal to them. She likes Ed not only because of his looks (most women would as well) but because of his values of having a family, children and the rest.
I also 110% do not agree with your inference that Jade likes Ed for the money or is a 'gold digger'. The girl has been a hard worker all her life, taking numerous jobs as a teenage girl in high school just so she could help her mum with money. Many kids nowadays struggle to balance 1 job I couldn't imagine taking 2. She's also stated that she finds self-finance to be a very important thing and wants to earn her own money in a relationship in case things go wrong.
Also who cares what Ed's mother thinks about Jade. I wouldn't want to get into a relationship with a person who's family obviously doesn't like or approve of me but obviously Jade doesn't know this. They don't sound like a nice bunch either and she deserves so much more! Good riddance to the LOWer family!
 
I guess we all see what we wanna see in people at the end of the day. I'll confess that how she rebuffed Drew, a guy that I believe is probably out of her league, got under my skin and I haven't like Jade ever since.

There's an undercurrent of arrogance about Jade that I've come across quite often before. IMHO she's not as 'humble' as some of you would like to think she is.

I have a feeling Ed says this stuff to just boost his Mr. Perfect image. All the girls in the house, especially at the start just love this about him. I don't think he is 100% genuine. Even Ben picked up on it, when Ed interrogated him about whether he would choose the money over love. Ben felt Ed was putting him down for choosing the money. According to Ed he would choose love over money every time, that is of course BS. We can clearly see now that he would backstabbed and throw anyone under the bus to get to the price.

His family is disgusting. If anything they are the gold digger, who will pretty much do anything to get the money. I remember a conversation between Jade and Drew in the halfway house, Drew was asking her what type of girlfriend she would be and she said she is easy going. He asked her if she like jewellery and she said no. She doesn't particularly like flowers either because they are just a waste of money. She is frugal and a hard worker, not a typical traits for a gold digger.

It was on the family blog and the Ed fan page although I wouldn't be surprised if they deleted all those comments at the same time they tried to pretend the contest never happened. Although I think someone may have copy and pasted the stuff in here. But they got hammered with comments basically saying that whether or not they liked Jade, if it weren't for her Ed wouldn't be relevant in the house so maybe they should take that into consideration before dogging her. And if Ed could actually articulate a sentence and stop pashing Jade, maybe she would've taken the hint by now. Out of Nick and Milly I got the impression that Milly had the bigger problem with Jade for whatever reason.

At the time, the fact that she rebuffed Drew was also sad to me cause I thought he was a great guy. I can certainly agree with you on that but I personally can't see her as being arrogant, when she's anything but arrogant...she's too insecure in most people's views. But like in that really insightful blog entry that [MENTION=34899]Splashedblue[/MENTION] posted, people want her to see what we see in her and to gain more confidence. I kind of wish she had a bit of arrogance, just anything but insecurity, especially in regards to Ed.

I don't hold the fact that she didn't get with Drew against her even though I really wanted it at the time and was a Drew fan to begin with. But seeing him change like that and move on so quickly made me question whether his feelings towards her were genuine. I'm not sure they were, otherwise his loyalty wouldn't have have swayed so much. He quickly moved on and seems very happy with Tully.

Jade has remained the same and consistent throughout, if her personality changed for the worse, maybe she would've lost fans, but she's always been genuine and her interest in Ed is something that has been consistent from the beginning and you just learn to deal with it I guess.

Anyway, even though we have different takes on this, I really respect your openness and that you provide genuine reasons for your stance :)
 
The Ed's of this world though have many vacuous superficial women throwing themselves at him and I find it hard to distinguish Jade from those women.

There are plenty of fish in the sea but me thinks Jade wouldn't wanna be caught dead going out on a date with a guy like Xavier for example. He'd call him creepy like she did to Tim, that's the superficiality that irks me about her.
 
Ed's career ended due to his bad luck with injuries. Broken collar bones, broken leg, knee injury (Cartilage) etc.
His father is a Doctor his mother a nurse. Just what I have read.

Mmmmm. And I have always wondered about that question Drew put to her on hotspot, what prompted that?

Ed, ex footy($), established new career($), older v young student, zero $
(Ed is also likely to have had an insurance payout if he had an injury that ruined his career, it could have been very large)

Jade is a nice enough girl. But her fans are falling for what Jade is selling way too much.
For a start consider this, nobody else talks about themselves so much......we know way more about jade & her life than anyone else.

Haha I'm sad Xavier went so early. Jade was actually good friends with Xavier and he seemed to like her. I'm not sure she'd put Xave down at all. They interacted really well. And the thing is, she actually said Tim is more like the guys she's dated in the past. Her reason for not going for Tim, was that they were too 'similar' because they're strange and have weird personalities.

She said that she does not want another unpredictable guy, which is why she likes Ed, who is nothing like the guys she normally went for. So nothing to do with superficiality, it's her wanted to protect herself from guys she sees are similar to her exes like Drew.

If she wanted some hot guy and that was the end of it, she would've stopped at Drew, she's said that Drew's great looking. But Drew's personality reminded her of her ex so she ran for it. She chooses guys based on their values and she liked what Ed's values were.

BB edits what BB wants audiences to see. You can't blame Jade for having BB show a lot of her. I don't see her trying to sell anything and the times she talks about herself it is usually in private, when she is talking 1 on 1 with somebody. Even at the dinner table you don't see her opening up so openly about things, for example Tahan the other night had an emotional opening up about the racism she has faced growing up. Yes, sad for her but Jade doesn't come across as a person who will self-pity herself in front of others for attention.
Ed's footy 'career' is hardly respectable, I'm sure if Jade wanted money then she could easily go for someone more prominent in the AFL scene. Lets not forget but she also used to be in a serious relationship with a ski instructor and ski instructors don't earn an 'amazing' amount of money.
I don't appreciate you saying that Jade is trying to sell something she's not because. Just because she's a nice girl with insecurities does not mean she is somebody fake!!!
