I think it's like what rose711 stated. She went that extra step too far. She could have left the response a little more restrained IMO.

Possibly, but again, the questions she faced are unknown. For example, it is widely known that Ed and Jade stayed with Ed's mother in Noosa and that she has met all his family (except his father and Nick said in a published interview that their father wanted to meet Jade - which is probably crap, but is out there in the public domain).

As Ed had said he would be showing Jade around, and she knew most of the family, it is quite possible she was asked if she would be catching up with his family while in Adelaide - which could prompt the answer regarding Ed's father and not be out of line.

Coming from someone who found Jade completely annoying and cringeworthy in the house, I honestly don't see the big deal about this article and Jades replies. She was asked questions about Ed in his hometown and answered them.

Listen, while you lovely Americans are here, have you been watching True Detective? It is breathtakingly good and Matthew McConaughey and woody Harrelson on the small screen is a bonus. I'm gobsmacked :)

I haven't watched it, but I've heard a few good reviews of it though.

I agree with all of this.
 
Regardless of the differing opinions on Jade's interview, what I liked about it is that Jade spoke respectfully about Ed... As he has done about her (from what I've seen). Obviously things haven't worked out for them but I think they've handled the fallout incredibly well.

I'm not a yank but I had Cohle and Martin as my avvie not too long ago. The tracking shot in the last ep was amazing, not to mention the build up in intensity that even though you knew what characters would be okay (it's a flashback) at the end of it you couldn't help feel the suspense from start to finish. :cool:
Favourite line: fake-ass po-pos! hehehehe

why would Ed give Jade his Dads number? she stayed with Nathan at one of his relatives home, she was very well taken care of i would imagine. so did she 'persuade' him to give her the number by playing the 'i don't know Adelaide, or anyone there, and i will be a bit lost' convo? is Ed just being polite or plain dumb?

Hardly likely as Ed knew Nathan was there - he had asked Nathan to say Hi to Adelaide for him - and it is on Jade's social media that was going to be with Nathan and Ross.

Polite or dumb? Who knows - maybe they really are friends?

I'm so over emoTully passive aggressively dealing with stuff. I finally understand why living with her is a nightmare filled with drama.
You know that tweet was directed to specific people.
Although she started the day or the weekend thanking her great friends who have stood by her. She seemed very excited about her plans, maybe even trying too hard. ( Drew, I making a toastie! do you want one?)

I guess I shouldn't get involved because I have gone from supporting her to understanding her crazy selfish antics in the house is just how she deals with life. That's ok.

It is possible that I cared about Drew and his feelings when I thought I cared about Tully.

She did have to deal with a ton of pressure and I think she has handled it a million times better than I could have. I think her feelings for Drew were real but unrealistic in her real life. But there are people who feel the entire thing was her using Drew to get attention. I don't think it was a pre planed thing for her to find a guy. And, damn, Drew is so hot you can see the attraction.

I couldn't live with the emotional extremes she puts herself through. I do think that part of her is broken due to her Mom and her family and she probably needs lots of support to deal with it. I can have compassion for her but just be over her shallow, screwed up life. I hoped for more.

I know I've expressed this a few times. Thanks for letting me vent!! I got so attached to her and Drew in the house. I even got up early in the morning to watch them and to follow the live feeds.

Again, thanks for letting me vent.

Vent appreciated. You are not alone here - I share your opinion. It always feels better to have a vent - now you can have a glass of wine (or whatever) and relax. :D

I think Jade must have been hiding in bushes following Ed and stole his phone then copied his Dad's phone number. Then she clearly used her super sleuth hacking skills to find out who Ed's friends were in Adelaide then found out their phone numbers and pursued them. The only logical explanation.

Even though she is dyslexic and English is her second language. And this assumes she is super intelligent.

Or, I don't know, crazy speculation here...maybe they really are good friends (exactly like Jade said in the interview) and he decided to do something nice for his good friend. And, another crazy spec here, maybe she decided to express her gratitude by mentioning the nice gesture when asked about him in an interview.

I think I've been holding my breath through every episode. The tracking shot is big news, but my fave was the cargo ship in Ep 3crossing the shot without an inch of water showing.

Seriously, you are really really missing something special. Louisiana is as much a character as the two detectives. It is BEAUTIFUL TV.

[MENTION=37335]prufrock[/MENTION] ... SOLD!

Speaking of geographic locations being a character in a storyline, have you seen Treme? (New Orleans, post Hurricane Katrina).



Regards the article about Jade, I don't see a problem with it. Not a fan of her actions in the house (what I saw of them), but I think she truly cares about her friends and inspires a similar response in those who consider her a friend. In terms of Ed giving her his Dad's phone number, it's just good hospitality really.
