Ed's malevolence

[Lindsay1973]

Ed's not perfect. I look at his physique and I think "God, he's vain", not "Phwoar". And he converses like a footy commentator - cliched and trite. I look at guys like him and I think, "for goodness sake, get out of the gym and read a book once in a while!"

I don't find him in the least bit attractive physically or intellectually...Uhm wait this is Ed we are talking about.His brother is even less attractive..sorry but he looks a bit like a weasel

The only thing that made the GOE date watchable was Surly. I don't know that Jade and Ed have much in common they seem awkward together and Jade needs to lay off the kissing and hugging so much, it's uncomfortable to watch her continually attaching herself to him.

agreed.
his brother is plain ugly.
as a hetro, when i see a guy like ed at the bar my immediate impression is:
"there's a guy with no fucking idea trying to be the big man."

This whole Showmance thing has been so hard to watch and now we've got yet another week of it. More clips of Jade grabbing Ed head for the unwanted showstopping kiss *cue the audience* Ooooooooo, with Ed's arms firmly pressed against his sides. The retarded play fighting because they've got nothing to say to each other and Jades continuous drooling over Ed's perfection. God kill me now.

I know!! It is so awkward!! Eyes wide open. Hands at sides. It's a wonder he doesn't wipe his mouth after.

I did like her. But I don't much now, the girl has little self respect.

I think its more the case of little to none self esteem. Which is why she throws herself at someone like Ed as she needs the perfect man to make herself complete. Throw in the fact that in the outside world she probably never ever gets rejected (because of her looks) when she does the chasing so subconsciously her fragile ego can't except that he rejects her so she just keeps going, and going, and going.

Ed's malevolence is actually the most intriguing thing about him. I wish he would get drunk more.

Here's how I saw the whole JadEd affair play out...

• Ed was never into Jade and made that clear after the first kiss...which was on a dare
• Jade kept persisting and ed told the boys that he feels bad being more firm with her because they have to live together and she's not accepting his rejection gracefully (awkward)
• Jade tells Ed that she "just wants to have fun" and he doesn't need to feel like it's anything more than that
• Ed is worn down and, given statement above, starts kissing her more often (usually late night feast after many drinks)
• Ed continues to sleep in his bed, and Jade keeps jumping into bed with him and kissing him while he ignores her by pretending to sleep (awkward AND if gender roles were reversed a guy could get into a lot of trouble for being so aggressive with a female and jumping into her bed when she is not interested)
• Ed tries to vote Jade out because it's the only way he can get rid of her without looking like the jerk who keeps breaking her heart. Tim saves her (awkward)
• Ed eventually realizes this girl is not going to give up and it might help his game so he starts sleeping in her bed .. He's clear he can't promise anything after show...
• After their date, Jade tells Ed "I hope to keep you on the outside, sorry if you don't want to hear that." ...No Response from Ed
• In today's episode..gold room..JadEd in bed...Jade wants Mikkayla to think Ed loves her by telling her Ed has a pet name for her (My Lady Jady), KNOWING that it was a Surly task and Ed is not allowed to reveal that. (SneakY)
• Ed felt awkward because he sensed what she was up to and despite her attempts to kiss all over him, he remained frozen and unresponsive until she wore him down and he play fought with her. (Awkward)

While I think that Ed was in a very awkward position, he should have stuck to his guns and not engaged with her. I also think it's very interesting that in the beginning Jade had no interest in Drew, said he was not his type and even mocked him for having "stinky hair", YET today, when Drew asked her if Ed was her type, she said no, Drew was more her type.... WHAT is this girl on??

EDIT: Today Jade/Madeleine in bathroom and Jade questions whether Tim's interest in boog is genuine or game play, but can't seem to grasp that Ed's just not that into her and it's all a game.

I have to say that Jade totally confuses me - on the one hand it appears she would have a lot of self-esteem - going on reality tv show, being a model, obviously used to getting whatever man she wants, very pretty... - on the other hand she is constantly denigrating herself & appears to have very low self-esteem (although I have felt at times it was to "fish" for compliments", but again - why would she need to if she had high self-esteem?). Then again, it's hard to believe someone who didn't have a good opinion of herself would persist in going after a guy who clearly isn't interested. So confused

My thoughts exactly.

To be honest I honestly just don't think she's worked out that he isn't interested. I'm sure she knows he doesn't like her as much as eh likes him, but I really do think she think he likes her to some degree. I mean he does keep going back to her. To us that's obviously strategy and the fact that he has nobody else but I don't think Jade sees that. She's just shit at reading men. Or Ed at least.

 

[Curious]

Actually, you'd be surprised at how many pretty girls are insecure deep down....Early on in the season Jade mentioned a few times, especially to Drew that guys aren't that interested in her or it ends very quickly... She is pretty, but in Italy she probably didn't stand out in the crowd...

Other than her boyfriend dumping her I don't remember her saying guys aren't interested? I think she definitely would stand out anywhere and knows it damn well

 

[Curious]

I would think that her "friends" (Mikkayla?) in the house would sit her down and explain it to her so she doesn't continue to look foolish on national TV. I also worry that once she's out of the house she'll be worse off because guys who have seen this will be scared of her not want to date her...

The one time I remember clearly is in the hamster wheel, she said you'd be surprised that I don't get much attention..or something to that effect. Her looks may draw guys in, but....

Well Ed and Big Brother were partners as Ed played his Card trick with the Jade Date, now he will think that he must be popular this fling thing with Jadey is working the public over so watch out this week more crap on the way! What cards will BB and Ed play this week.!

 

[Curious]

I can't even imagine Ed having anything up his sleeve. He was all gung ho about exposing Drew yet....*crickets* UNLESS all the talk lately about Drew telling Mikkayla he's going to move to be with Tully is just pre-emptive to cover himself before Ed exposes him? Drew is very clever that way and has said he's playing the Mikk/Ed/Jade side for info...Dun dun dunnnnn.. and the plot thickens lol.

No way Mikk would do that. She wants Jade to look foolish. She encouraged her to go after Ed then went and laughed to Tim about what she did. She also encouraged Jade to leave the bracelet under his pillow but then told Ed that she tried to stop her. I love Mikk but she cares more about beating Jade than being her friend at the moment I think. I could imagine Tim or Drew getting in her ear if they start to think the showmance is what's saving Ed.

 

[Curious]

I'm totally with you (except I love Mikk part), hence the "friends" in quotes.. and ? around Mikkayla (Mikk CLAIMS to be her friend)
