Jade 2013 Appreciation thread

Angel said:
Yeah Ben was a shock but I did kinda see it coming. Its hard to know, up until this week I really thought Jade could take Tahan on but with this week being the most votes ever AND Tahan getting so much it was like WTF???

Is there anything in the rules that says people out side Australia cant send people inside Australia money to vote on their behalf? Jade has lots of fans not in AU and it would be a huge help if everyone can vote.

Tahan's fans need to be running out of money right?? I mean its not like her fan base is HUGE or anything so to pull those numbers was impressive. I sure hope she doesn't win. Its like saying "its ok to be a bully, be mean and put others down" to the whole of AU and honestly, as a mother, that is the last thing we need when its already such a huge issue.

tahan`s fans have been getting people from the uk to send money through paypal so they can vote more for her.
Maybe jades dad should do that she has most of italy behind her

I don't think it's too far at all. I've said plenty of times on here that my friends from the US send me cash to vote. It hasn't been for Tahan yet although I suspect it will be this week - and even was for Jade one week funnily enough - but I can't see anything wrong with that. Just like some of us watch international BB's and want to vote if we can, people in other countries feel the same way about our version. I think it's pretty flattering actually that for such a relatively small country, we can put on a BB that people overseas feel so passionately about.

I agree, they only deem it too far because it's for the person they do not like..

Oh I thought it was just for the benefit of one housemate, I don't think the show is targeting US audiences so I don't know if you're doing something wrong or not by the rules

There'd be no way for BB in any country to prevent that from happening other than what all the versions do already: Blocking online and phone votes from people outside of that particular country. BB AU has no way of knowing if the votes are my own or not. And considering the week we tried to get Heidi out they spent well over $1k on votes, I can imagine BB wouldn't want to stop those people from voting anyway. :)

I don' know how it works in Australia, but in Big Brother Spain it's something illegal and it was a big trouble with one of the winers. His family did it with People from Brasil .

It must've been a different situation to what we're talking about because there'd be no way of BB Spain, Australia or anyone else knowing if I was using my own cash to vote or not. I could tell my friends right now to not bother Paypaling me and just pay me back in person when I see them at Christmas, long after the show is over. Then there wouldn't even be a Paypal trail. People have been doing this from day dot with all versions of BB. Nothing anyone can do about it

But I'll keep this all in mind when they tell me to vote for Jade with their cash next time she's up. ;)

I voted in the early days of BBAU, back when anyone could buy blocks of votes. I really don't see a problem with individuals passing money to friends within the country to vote. I do find it a little more shady that it's being coordinated by an official group. And if that info about the One Direction tweet has any truth, then people should be as outraged as people were over the win a date with ed stupidity.

Well said, Mrs Butterface. There seems to be so much jumping to wild conclusions of cheating this year by fans of all of the housemates whether it be missing votes, date for votes or this stuff with Tahan. Friends, family and over-excited fans of housemates have always supported hard for their particular housemate, but just because ploys are devised does not mean that it actually transfers into votes. For example, whilst the fan who used the ploy of one direction was using false advertising, anyone with a brain would realise that one direction would not be involved with a poxy australian tv show contestant and also that even if it were true those older than 12 would not give a shit about one direction's involvement.

I voted for Tahan last eviction, which was my first time voting for anyone this year, because she is interesting, dynamic, strong and entertaining. End of.

Yeah, its very rarely Ed and Jade but yet people ta lk about her never leaving his side. I think those types are going to see what they want to see regardless of the truth.
As for Tim and Jade I am very disappointed he has stabbed her in the back. Like Ben I always thought that Tim honestly cared about Jade. Shame on him for changing his game plan, I guess he doesnt think he can get as far as part of the misfits.

I am torn on what I want to happen. The groups are 4 and 4 so part of me wants Mik save this week and Boogs or Tahan (pretty please!!!) to go home to bring down the numbers. The other part of me wants Mik gone and Ed gone next week but I am worried that the "cool" kids wont accept Jade in. If they do then who would they bitch about all day?

I will wait and see what happens this week. If boogs goes then it will be ed or Mik next week and hopefully the groups will dissolve without them in the house.

I think you are right if Boog /Tahan and Ed leaves then the group divide will dissolve.However if mikk goes as well Jade will probably join Tim and Drew like the good old days.Who knows alliances change so much in this game.

Yeah I heard that too. How many weeks are left? If there is only three and a half, I think it will be 1 by 1.

Even if they go out on the same night, they go out 1 at a time.

Btw...the issue of who caused the current division in the house made me go back and look for a live feed clip I remembered. On the day of nominations after the SS eviction (day 67), the live feed reports that everyone, except Tahan, is sitting on pillows in the shade, chatting. The video from 45 minutes later is Tim, with Drew an Tahan, talking about a group that is forming that they call Ed's pride. They then say that that makes them the hyenas, which Drew says are much more interesting.

Notice that THEY are the ones that separated themselves out and marked themselves as an isolated group. Also notice that they immediately conclude that they are the more interesting group. It's interesting to note that they lump everyone together in "Ed's" group, which has to be due to the fact that he is the only heterosexual male aside from Tim and Drew in the house, certainly not a tip to Ed's nonexistent charisma.
 
Ha ha. Latest live feed is about Tahan's burn book. Now Maddie is included. Will we get to see this on the Daily show, or is that a stupid question.

I think you answered your own question..ha ha.They didn't show Jade and boog talking and coming to an understanding about the divide.Even Maddie and Jade are getting along well considering bb put Maddie in for friction. What a difference between Jade and the other one.
 
I hate that Drew has a constant need to disparage Jade, like he does in this clip and one earlier today. Everyone who thinks there will be a resurgence of a Drew/Jade/Tim relationship if only Ed were gone doesn't seem to realize how much the things these two say about her are contributing to the Jade is an Idiot narrative. These guys would accept her friendship and not hesitate to laugh about her behind her back. They do it now, Ed not being there won't change that.

Edited to add... I still think Jade will be far more devastated by the crap Drew has talked about her when she gets out than by anything Ed has said. She is questioning his behavior towards others in the house but I think when she gets out and finds out what he really thinks of her, she will be gutted.
