Here's how I saw the whole JadEd affair play out...
- Ed was never into Jade and made that clear after the first kiss...which was on a dare
- Jade kept persisting and ed told the boys that he feels bad being more firm with her because they have to live together and she's not accepting his rejection gracefully (awkward)
- Jade tells Ed that she "just wants to have fun" and he doesn't need to feel like it's anything more than that
- Ed is worn down and, given statement above, starts kissing her more often (usually late night feast after many drinks)
- Ed continues to sleep in his bed, and Jade keeps jumping into bed with him and kissing him while he ignores her by pretending to sleep (awkward AND if gender roles were reversed a guy could get into a lot of trouble for being so aggressive with a female and jumping into her bed when she is not interested)
- Ed tries to vote Jade out because it's the only way he can get rid of her without looking like the jerk who keeps breaking her heart. Tim saves her (awkward)
- Ed eventually realizes this girl is not going to give up and it might help his game so he starts sleeping in her bed .. He's clear he can't promise anything after show...
- After their date, Jade tells Ed "I hope to keep you on the outside, sorry if you don't want to hear that." ...No Response from Ed
- In today's episode..gold room..JadEd in bed...Jade wants Mikkayla to think Ed loves her by telling her Ed has a pet name for her (My Lady Jady), KNOWING that it was a Surly task and Ed is not allowed to reveal that. (SneakY)
- Ed felt awkward because he sensed what she was up to and despite her attempts to kiss all over him, he remained frozen and unresponsive until she wore him down and he play fought with her. (Awkward)
While I think that Ed was in a very awkward position, he should have stuck to his guns and not engaged with her. I also think it's very interesting that in the beginning Jade had no interest in Drew, said he was not his type and even mocked him for having "stinky hair", YET today, when Drew asked her if Ed was her type, she said no, Drew was more her type.... WHAT is this girl on??


EDIT: Today Jade/Madeleine in bathroom and Jade questions whether Tim's interest in boog is genuine or game play, but can't seem to grasp that Ed's just not that into her and it's all a game.
