If anyone was paying attention - and I know most of you aren't :( - they would know that Ed aims to expose the lies that Tim tells about each HM behind their back. This started, I believe, when he saw what Tim was doing to take Ben down. Ed should have stood up for Ben there and then, but I think that he was holding back on protecting Ben because he was using it for his own advantage.

Ed has said that he will expose Tim this in front of all the HMs, but he will wait for Tim to make an obvious misstep. Time is running out for Ed to do this, however. Ed probably realizes that he is the most likely to go next Wednesday, so he will have to do it in the next 3 or 4 days.

he has been going to play these cards for 5 weeks straight now ..... oh yeah he has Tim right where he wants him... the only thing that could make Ed's eviction better is if Tim came out and joined the crowd tossing cards at Special Ed on his way out
 
Pretty sure that his claim to having 'cards up his sleeve' ARE the cards up his sleeve. He's got nothing and is just hoping that the viewers will keep him in to play these mysterious cards.
 
Ed thinks that he is the only one that realizes that Tim is manipulating people (that's his big card up his sleeve) only problem is everyone knows it. Ed and Matt got manipulated hard by Tim when Tim wanted Tully out, Tim planted a seed with those nitwits and they carried it all over the house while Tim sat back and watched.

As I said before, and below, I worked out Tim was manipulative in July on about Day 1. Ed has just worked this out now? Tim had admitted on multiple occasions that he wants to create chaos. HMs are all strategically voting against their mates anyway, so just about anyone & everyone is up for eviction. And the general public will have the final vote, not Ed or HMs.

There is NOTHING new Ed can say. Everybody in the house and in Australia knows about Tim & his ways, except Ed.

Ed, Drew & Jade seem to have got a bit of cabin fever. Being locked up has warped their perspective.

He said if he was in the 'poor house' he would take control.
He is outgoing to the point of being manipulative. Looking out only for himself.
Yeah he could be master of mayhem. Tim me be a pivotal character in forming alliances etc.

That's not how I see it. It was Matt and Ed who were upset at Tully's "cheating" as they called it. When this became known to Tim, he decided that Tully and Drew had to split up, and he tried to convince Ed to do his bidding. When Ed spoke to Tully about it, however, Ed took what I would call a dishonest and gutless course. Instead of saying their relationship was disturbing the rest of the HMs, he told Tully that Drew could not be trusted, which was a load of blatant bulldust. Tully was right to ark up and storm off. But to me, it showed how low Ed could stoop.

The other player in this was Mikkayla. Tim told her that Tully and Drew had to split up, so Mikkayla dutifully ran off to the Sugar Sisters to declare that Tully and Drew must split up. Lucy to her credit stood up to Mikkayla, saying that she held nothing against Drew or Tully being together. It was obvious to me that Mikkayla was really only trying to split up Tully and Drew because it would be to her strategic advantage.

Perhaps he is going to finally admit he is a friend of Dorothy... but obviously that would blow his 'relationship' with Jade out of the water and make him look like a nasty person... so he is waiting for Jade to be evicted and week after week she is saved. (I know this isn't true but a girl can dream!)

I actually thought this the other day. Maybe he does have a plan, but wants Jade to go first before he does anything. It's plausible, most likely he's just got nothing.

It is frustrating. I don't mind Ed but really, in a game like this, what kind of "card" could you possibly be holding onto? It's not like he found a Hidden Immunity Idol. If he's talking about some sort of information bombshell...I can't imagine what kind of dirt a player in this game could reveal that the audience wouldn't already know about. "Here's my card...Tim is playing you all!" Yes...yes we know that. And on another season that might have been a weapon, but the game has changed, my friend.

Maybe, maybe, it's something like "hey Mum, when I get to Day 70, tell the world you have cancer" or something, trigger the sympathy vote. Now that would be an impressive play, but even then you could never admit to anyone that it was a "card" or it would completely backfire. (That's an awful tactic, haha, but that's the only sort of pre-planned "card" I can think of.)

Ha!

The good ole "Mum's got cancer" card.

Wins every time.

The highlighted section is very true
Tim planted the seed with Matt and Ed about a 10 days before that, in the backyard with Matt and Ed then every time they talked about it Tim would agree with everything they said and they started thinking it was their idea and started distributing the message around the house and of course Ed stooped to that all-time low level at that LNF
 
This is a post i made recently in another thread which i believe is Ed's "card" that he so desperately wants to play but can't because there has been no opportunity for a situation to arise where he can step in and be someones savior. He needs someone like Tim to say or do something heinous which i really don't see Tim ever doing.

[I believe Ed WANTS Tim to be the bad guy or even NEEDS him to be just like Tony Montana or The Joker as i get the vibe that Ed wants nothing more than to actually live up to his 'Prince Charming' moniker and to be the hero. To be the hero you need a villain and Ed needs Tim to fill that roll, at least that's how it comes off to me, especially when Tim tries to talk to Ed calmly and politely yet Ed just isn't having it as being an enemy of Tim services him better than being a friend of his. It's amusing this theory to when i think about it as Ed's just coming off as a gutless prick by never standing up to Tim or at least confronting him about his problems with Tim, i suppose he feels having a slight mean/serious streak will muddy that shinning armor of his.]
 
On the other hand you could say it way Ed's attempt at being manipulative. It Tim can be manipulative then Ed gave it a go. Except in Ed's case he comes across as a wanker.

So Ed's card is to be prince charming and the knight in armour, rescuing damsels in distress? Doesn't seem to have gotten him far in the past.
 
Hahaha this thread is great! I really hope Ed's supposed card is to tell everyone what Tim has said and than Tim tells Jade in front of everyone that Ed use to pay her out behind her back and we all get to sit back and watch Ed squirm. Either that or when he is evicted he plays the card of telling everyone that Tim is playing the game and everyone just goes "Umm we know sped".

Maybe I'm naive but I just don't see Tim doing that.

If Ed just goes all out at Tim do you not expect Tim to stick up for himself?

Ed going batshit crazy at Tim is what Tim wants. Tim wants to be the centre of attention, he can deflect (or promote) anything anybody says to give him more airtime.

Tim is so sure of himself that he put himself up for eviction. That's alpha male behaviour, Ed is beta by comparison. People like alpha males.

We've had many narcissists & players before, but none quite like Tim. He talks to the camera in the BB chair, tells us what tricks he's up to, has good introspection and theory of mind. Despite saying he has no idea how he thinks.
