Do guys like Ed exist?

[Sorceress]

That was a bit like trying to decipher the da Vinci Code, but I think I get the jist of what you are saying.

I agree it does take two to tango, however one of those tango partners might have long term commitment in their vision, while the other is thinking more a one night stand. He is interested in her, he is interested to spend time and finger bang or what ever they do under that doona, however, he isn't at this point promising anything as far as a relationship goes outside the house. Newflash Nelly! That is normal human interaction!!! Not every relationship ends with Edward and Bella being together forever!

What they are doing as two consenting adults is okay, and I can't for the life of me understand how you can not see that.

Yeah sorry about that on my iPad.
What I have a problem with is I think she's being manipulated a fair bit by Ed, it's one thing to swing back and forth to someone keeno as but then to lie to them (like he did with nominations) and talk about her behind her back is another thing.
We will see how it turns out when Jade sees the footage.

Didn't Bella run off to another movie set and start fucking the Director, I think I maybe read it in the Forward somewhere but it wasn't actually mentioned in the book.

I hate foruming on my cheap version of an ipad. Drives me chronic!

Their relationship has changed and grown over time. It is perfectly normal to have your opinions of the person you are interacting with change and grow over time. It is normal for your feelings to change and grow over time, sometimes that change is love, sometimes that change is dislike. I am genuinely gobsmacked that you can't see that.

What you are watching isn't Dr Evil's mad plan, it is two single people who are living in an extraordinary environment coming together for physical comfort. In this situation one person obviously likes the other more, again normal behaviour. Everyone talks behind everyone's back! That is life! Fuck me, if my partner heard the things I have said about him his ears would implode! The only thing not normal in the Jade and Ed saga is the fact it is filmed and we get to see those cringe worthy moments.

Life is about change. Our feelings change, our opinions change, our beliefs change. Nothing ever stays the same, Jade and Ed are simply an example of that.

[MENTION=30612]TraLa[/MENTION] I see where you're coming from but I'm yet to really see a change in their dynamic. An example: It's always Jade making the first move, then Ed mumbling something pointless to end the kiss. Their conversations are always dull and I think it's because Ed is trying very hard not to lead her on emotionally. I don't know..maybe their relationship has changed, maybe Ed has opened his eyes but I don't really see it.

To me, it's akin to Jamie Brooksby stringing Katie along - who thought she was in love with him, poor thing - and then dumping her as he left the exit doors; only Jamie Brooksby at least didn't have the gall to pontificate about moral highgrounds and decency, etc.

There has been a huge change in dynamics. Ed went from hiding from her to spooning her. While Jade still appears to make the first move for the most part, Ed does seem to be more responsive to her advances. Dull people are allowed to find funk too you know.

I am not by any means suggesting they are sharing a productive and healthy relationship, I am just saying they have a relationship in the house, and in that relationship it would appear that Jade likes Ed more than Ed likes Jade. It doesn't really matter what you and I think, at the end of the day, we aren't the ones whispering under the doona til late at night (although I do have a webcam if you do want to get funky...). I am sure they can work it out.

They have spooned before...they were drunk but they have gotten very cosy before. And I think they're only sharing a bed because she has hopped in his bed or told him to stay in hers countless times. I think he now has no choice but to be somewhat responsive to her advances. I don't think his feelings (or lack thereof) have changed.

It is a sad sad sad forum day when I agree with Connoisseur 100%.

I thought the same re Con! I agree wholeheartedly with your spin on Lady Jady and Steady Eddy. The hate for him/her/them is mostly coming from the Tim camp due to Ed's partially successful attempt to derail their fave. Ok, they are starting to sound like broken records but credit to them for sticking to their guns.

You're thinking of Glenn I'm guessing.

Watching that old uncut footage just reminds me of how much I miss proper Australian Big Brother (not the bath stuff but the conversations), and Gretel. The show is really such a poor copy now, even though many of the housemates in this year’s cast had a lot of potential.
Regarding Ed, I can’t stand the guy, AS a Big Brother housemate. He has bored me tears from the get go. As an average, everyday guy in regular life, I’m sure he’s quite pleasant and a great neighbour, worker etc. He doesn't belong on Big Brother, because he just doesn't have the ability to entertain, he can barely articulate a thought let alone be witty or charming. I just find him incredibly bland and think he should have been evicted very early on.

I love Jade, but I REALLY don't get her when it comes to guys.

I remember when she was in bed with Drew and he said "I feel so safe." and everybody laughed. It was so funny. Has Ed ever done anything funny? Without being told to or being drunk? Drew also did the hand holding thing with Jade and other cute things She would have to be blinde in one eye and can't see out of the other not to realize Drew had a thing for her. And that Ed doesn't. And that Drew is funny and VERY attractive and Ed isn't .....

And I have to say Ed is NOT an identical twin to his brother. The family says they are a mirror image, but it's not true. They don't look very similiar. I can tell them apart easily. I've seen identical twins before and I can not tell who is who. But with Ed and his brother it's incredibly obvious.

It's good she didn't choose Drew since we saw the dark side of his personality with the Tully thing and how he dumped his last girlfriend. But that doesn't mean Ed is a catch. There are guys like him. He's not the devil, but he's not prince charming or Edward Cullen (blah).

Amen in everything you said! But in all honesty at the end of the day, I believe that Drew has a much meaner, darker side than Ed does.

 

[libliblibby]

See I thought everyone had experienced being the adorer/adoree to an unrequited love.

Looking at some of the responses to the Ed and Jade debacle, it would appear not.

Have you ever been the Ed and or the Jade?

I have. My Jade broke into my back yard and fixed the clothes line while I was at work. Sounds helpful right? Creeped me out more than a boiled bunny in the pot ever would - LMAO

When I was Jade, there was little I would not do for my Ed. I even cleaned for him. God damn, I was a fool. But you live, you learn, and you summed it up well TraLa. It. Never. Ends. Well.

I honestly don't think we've seen Ed truly be himself in the house. He's playing a carefully contrived role and the other HM have fallen for it.

Tim, Drew, Tahan, Boog, have him all figured out. Mostly it's Jade who's blind as a bat.

I dont know about Ed, but wow his brother is nice and funny. maybe they should have swapped or both went in.

Oh please. Are we watching the same show?

We once saw the real Ed. When he was a bit drunk being mean to Tully.

Lying to her, trying to manipulate her against Drew.
