Jade 2013 Appreciation thread

I have worked with thousands of students who have difficulties with language retention and sometimes they fall under the umbrella of Dyslexia. It can be about learning phonetically, through the sounds that are are associated with the letters on the page - it depends largely upon how a set of phonemes are pronounced in your native tongue. For example, Chinese speakers do not say the Emperor, Shi HuangDi phonetically...it is a completely different set of sounds when translated!

Often there is a visual impairment (Irlen's Dyslexia - the coloured glasses) but much more common is multi-language confusion which can be too readily diagnosed as a Dyslexic condition. This is a HUGE problem for Asian and Indigenous students due to their lack of pluralism, tense confusion and gender differentiation...the Italian language also has a whole different set of rules but they are not as prone to 'exceptions' as the English language. Aboriginal languages have been translated into a form of English sounding/looking words for the purpose of communication and to record the history that was once only spoken or illustrated.

I take my hat off to Jade and any other child who learned another language BEFORE English; i before e except after c... Sometimes! To change a word ending in o to plural, you add es... Sometimes! Just a couple of examples of the complexities that many people with English as their FIRST language never quite grasp.

I completely agree Jane, that it would have been more interesting and intriguing if BB had highlghted Jade's struggle with her education rather than typify her as the blonde bimbo. I actually believe that much of her low self-esteem stems from the fact that she thinks she's not 'smart'.

I totally understand this problem, English being my second language, some things can get very confusing. Saying he instead of she or him instead of her, present tense instead of past tense... argh. Annoying because I end up sounding stupid, I've mentioned here before that if I don't pay careful attention (and sometimes I can still get it wrong) I can get it easily wrong, it just doesn't come naturally for me.
 
Hi guys, I browse through 5 magazines but could only find this article in TV week.What do you think about Tahan's comments?

You're a champ [MENTION=36315]aurora[/MENTION] lol
Ugh.. I don't even know what to say. Regardless of what happens with Jade and Ed, they're obviously wanting NOT to discuss it in the media. I think Tahan should fuck off and stop commenting on them. Honestly. She just looks like an arsehole whether she thinks she's right or not.. it's not her business any more. She's got enough going on in her own life, she doesn't need to have cheap little stabs at Jade. That's my opinion anyway even if it does get me into trouble.

I share your sentiments, that's why I didn't post the rest of the page which was all about her acting aspirations and tv job. :-[
 
The operative word in that vomit she spewed is " I THINK" . We all know that girl has been jealous and really nasty to Jade from the get. So no surprise that her opinion would not be anything favourable to Jade or her relationship.

If she is to seek a career in the media/entertainment,it doesn't serve her well to be seen to be vindictive,derogatory and nasty.

Omg I feel sick. :( It makes me want to get rid of all the magazines in Ballina, so Jade doesn't ever have to read this. I hate how there is 2 Threads because I want everyone to be able to get along here. Don't ever change Jade. Your beautiful as you are, and I love your new hair colour.

Essentially, Tahan's assertion is that Ed is a "nice" guy who is totally faking his feelings for Jade because Jade is not a nice person and forced him to do so.

Seriously, how does that make sense even in her incredibly shallow mind?

If Ed is so "nice", why would he share a bed with Jade, ask BB to take her on a date, even set up their night in the gold room, if he's not interested in her? Is she saying it was all fake? Because that would, by nearly everyone's definition, make him a not very nice guy. Except of course, by Tahan, who would interpret that behavior, as directed at the girl who beat her at the game of BB, "nice" simply because she is so jealous and resentful of Jade.

And now she's claiming that Ed has been "forced" into being "nice" to Jade out of the house to keep up a relationship he faked in the first place because he was so nice. Tahan has a very skewed idea of what a "nice" guy is, clearly. She also publicly proclaimed that Jade and Ed have a FWB relationship. Does that mean that "nice" guy Ed is sleeping with Jade while using her to protect the image that he himself helped to create?

I don't worry about protecting Jade from the shit that girl spews, because none of this speaks badly of Jade, no matter how Tahan has twisted it in her mind. It makes Ed look like a fake asshole, but, hey, maybe that's the truth and Tahan knows more than we know. Or maybe he'll just be another one of Tahan's "friends" who realizes she really sucks as a friend as well as a human being.

I wonder how much did TVWeek pay Tahan for the interview regarding about Ed and Jade's relationship. I am still angry with Tahan but that's none of her business. to pry on JadEd's personal live.

To me Ed and Jade want to keep their private life under the wrap - so good for them. I am hoping that Ed and Jade's relationship will last for long time and Tahan will regret the mistake and should apology to Jade for saying it.

If Ed or Jade read TV Week they will laugh at Tahan's interview and tell her to leave them alone and stop prying into their relationship.

I think it's important to remember that just like people in here get sick of journos and fans asking Jade and Ed about the state of their relationship on any given day... and we've seen those same journos throw in Jade/Ed questions to housemates in video interviews... that Tahan didn't just volunteer her opinion. She was asked a question and gave a response. Same as all the HMs being asked about Drew and Tully, especially before they did the interview together in the mag as a couple. Should Tahan have just given a totally PC answer to the question or at least now do what Tim's doing and giggle/smirk and say he can't say anything because Jade will get angry? Tahan has no loyalty to Jade and definitely vice versa after the whole die in a hole comment. Why would anyone think Tahan would lie about her feelings re Jade/Ed?

I can see why Jade fans would think that'd be the best option. But Tahan fans wouldn't and they'd be able to see through the BS right away if she suddenly started to censor her true feelings as that's one of the main things they love about her. None of the housemates are obsessing about Jade/Ed or Tully/Drew 24/7... only their most ardent fans are. Tahan's close to some of the same people Ed is especially Boog and Heidi. Some in here might not like her delivery but I don't think she's completely talking out of her ass either. She basically said what 99% of this forum did both before and after BB. I'm sure her and every other HM would rather talk about their own stuff than answer a 3 second question about a showmance regardless of which couple it's about.
 
Tahan is one of the few HMs that Ed doesn't follow on Twitter
I don't blame him. The two big mouths in the house this year were Tim and Tahan. Actually I don't think big mouth is the proper term but hopefully you get what I mean. The difference though is that Tim adores Jade so he's now holding back on his true feelings after she told him to stop answering things about her and Ed. Fair enough on both of them as I'd tell him to stop if I were her and I'd also listen if I were him. However Tahan doesn't have that friendship with either Jade or Ed so if someone asks, she's going to answer. She's calling it like she's seeing it (and I assume from what she's hearing too). Not my style but then again I don't have legions of fans who adore my doing that. In fact any time I speak my mind honestly I get in shit or offend someone somehow even when I meant no harm so I should probably ask her for tips lol.
 
And he follows Tim on twitter. LOL
Well he kind of has to as Tim is the Kanye West of the Twitter Crew. He'd be silly not to! (Just joking for those who misinterpret tone on the Internet... Tim has some awesome tweets but he's a bit of a nutter too!)

Possibly - but I also think Tahan is the type of person who bears a grudge and doesn't let things go. She is still rankled by being beaten by Jade and, to be honest, I don't think she would change her opinion even if Jade and Ed celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. The fact that she can't see the contradictions in what she is saying ( Ed being nice, but her scenario - which of course could be true - paints him as anything but nice) suggest she is justifying her position to herself.

I guess the difference is that I buy her scenario as it's one so many of us suggested well before he left the house. This is exactly what most people expected. Be non-committal, float around, kind of keep the Jaded thing going as that was the only thing interesting about him in the house and he got sucked into it. He didn't initially like her. Not only that, his brother, housemates and sister said she wasn't his type at all. I believe what I saw him say and the words of those who live with him and know him best.

I do think Tahan is holding a grudge for not coming 2nd to Tim but I don't think that has any bearing on the interview [MENTION=36315]aurora[/MENTION] posted. She wouldn't have brought them up, just like no one else would've brought up Drully or even Jade/Ed during their own ivs. We've seen that with our own eyes. You have a chance to be featured in a mag or even online or whatever, you want to promote your own stuff. Tahan is not only the person "with the most interest in her BY FAR" according to the Ch 9 dude but is now the official face of a fashion label, has her Getaway gig with Tim, a solid relationship of her own, etc. Basically 30 other things to promote and much more important than if Ed and Jade are shagging. It was a blurb on the side of the page for a reason and that's all I was trying to say. (And for the record, I love Tim... I'm not some Tahan Army gal for anyone who still?! might be in doubt) :)

He did initially like her, until Heidi sat him down, although I don't think he ever intended it to be anything. I do agree that she wasn't his usual type, as his brother and housemates said, because she does not fit into his type of lifestyle at all - but I also think that because of that she has offered him something else that he wasn't expecting.

While I don't for a moment see it lasting, I do think that the reason it is still going along (and it has been long enough and they have now spent enough time together for Ed to end it if he was purely trying to save face) is because when they are together Jade allows him to see another aspect of himself.

Obviously Tahan wouldn't have brought up the subject of Ed and Jaded, and I agree that it would be beyond annoying by now, but her answer of Ed being a nice guy, who is being forced to act like a prick, so that people won't think he is a prick is just silly

I think I just have a different view of Edwardo and he reinforced it again by deleting pics from his Instagram from the other night. To me he's all about image, image, image and while it may feel like a long time to those of us following this crap, they've only been out of the house for a bit over a month so I have to disagree that he would've ended it by now. If he had, he'd be where Caleb and Matt are now as far as 'hype'. The only thing that sets him apart from them is the showmance. Yeah he might have a couple of super dedicated fans but so do they and yet it results to nothing.

At the end of the day, I just want to cut off Jade's extensions and get her hair to a decent colour and watch her try to make her acting dream come true. I just think what other HMs say about her relationship with Ed - or lack of it - is being read into way too much and won't even be relevant a few months from now as it'll all be busto anyway.
 
I have a different take. I think TV Weak makes up stuff! Remember Tahan said Ed Jade is just FWB?
I doubt whether they have said more than 10 words to her since leaving BB, so I think it's just rubbish. If I am wrong I'd be surprised. Ed and Jade look so happy together, I think they will get together in Melbourne or Sydney again very soon.
