Has Jade been treated unfairly by Big brother?

Yeah, great post but you could pretty much just take that first point alone and get the idea.

If they were just making fun of Jade over the Ed thing I could almost understand why they'd do it from a production perspective. I think it's mean but Ed cops it there too (as did Tully and Drew). However it's obviously not just the Ed thing. It seems quite personal. The constant stabs about her intelligence both on the show and on the OS are quite bad, especially when she's dyslexic.

Wow, are we watching the same show? I have not seen this at all and I've seen every episode and most of the live feeds. If anything, I have seen Jade say she is unintelligent way too many times.
 
What about diary room talks??
We get to see Tahan, Tim and Drew ALL THE TIME in there talking to BB. Its a way of getting to know the hm's on a personal level without others around. When was the last time we got to see anything Jade had to say to BB?? Besides the conversation just after Maddy came in which she did very well with (sure they hated that, its the whole reason Maddy was put in the house) we have not got to hear anything from Jade on a personal level.

You guys cant honestly say its because Jade has nothign interesting to say to BB. Half the stuff the others say is not interesting and its shown.

Really?? What about the gabs from Sonja and the updates and comments on the BB website from the BB guys??
 
I just want to be sure that dyslexia is a reading disorder? Is there more to it? Sorry but I can't generate an opinion unless I know my facts. Just quickly googled it and the basic I of is related to reading. So all you experts out there or atleast are more knowledgable, please respond

Yeah it's a reading disorder but spelling is usually affected as well because in order to spell you need to be able to read you know. My best friend all through school was dyslexic and is destroyed her. She got called stupid so many times when she wasn't. She just had difficulties reading and spelling due to being dyslexic. She (and my cousin who also has it) both grew up believing that were stupid because they got called it so many times for having reading and writing difficulties. That's why I hate them making fun of Jade about that shit. She obviously has insecurities about her intelligence and I can bet you a hundred bucks it came from growing up dyslexic.
 
If they ever made fun of her cognitive function, I truly believe it has a lot to do with her constantly going on about how not smart she is. and laughing about it.

Also I think she was truly dumb, BB wouldn't go there.

I'm not sure if I'd say Jade has been treated unfairly by BB, but the constant portrayal as the Ed stalker is old and tired. Yes, we know she likes him more than he likes her. OMG stop the presses! It could be a chicken or the egg thing though with the BB online community focusing on it because BB is, and BB doing so because of all the discussion about "psycho" Jade. I'm still not sure why her being a fool over Ed makes her such a horrible person rather than just a bit silly. After the show, when she gets some perspective, she'll be embarrassed like all people who go over the top when it's not worth it. The hyperbola of her being a bad example of a women, etc. is just way too much but that's on the fans not the show.
 
Regardless of what we think out here about what is fair or not fair within the game - at various points they have all been tested. Does BB sense something where they can exploit public opinion and get a talking point which they hope translate to ratings? Yes. They don't care about the housemates as such..
We see this whenever they sniff a weakness and they read all the comments.
They don't care if the comments are positive or negative - as long as it generates news that's what they want.
I don't think in this instance it's particular to Jade as an individual, but rather to the fact that there's a lot of commentary surrounding her right now.

Tim for instance, is the one in the diary room feeling like he has been tested.

I've seen maybe one comment from Jade saying something about her being tested, and she wasn't whining about it. It seems to me that she accepts this is all part of the game. It's people out here who seem much more upset about it than she does.

She seemed a bit withdrawn late last week - I think though that was more because of a number of things
1.Mikkayla leaving
2. Nominations
3.Separation of bedrooms.

She has had to reassess things and in the last few days has seemed quite happy. I haven't heard her in with BB whining about anything at all.

Given that, as long as she gets cheered if/when she is evicted, and opportunities open up for her when she gets out, I'll be happy for her!

I don't necessarily agree with this, but people seem to think she has entitlement issues. examples: Can't take no for an answer. Assumes she'll be more successful than everyone after this. Thinks none of her friends should nominate her. Wants Drew to herself. These are resons people dislike her.

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard Tim or Drew or Tahan laugh about how stupid Jade is I'd be a very rich person. The OS always write articles mocking her intelligence as well. My personal favourite was the promotional article they wrote for Maddie when she was going in, and in an article about Maddie they somehow managed to call Jade stupid 4 or 5 times.
 
Jade has herself to blame! She is the only housemate currently that is unable to enjoy herself because she's so obsessed with her r/ship with Ed and the outside. No, she has not been treated unfairly!

I figured it would affect her reading comprehension and writing skills. Thanks for clarifying.

I guess the reason I wanted to know because the task where Ben had three to choose from and jade had 5/6? Anyways point being I never commented about it back then as I was a jade fan, but even then I didn't think it was a big deal tbh. Bb would have given her much needed time to read it and dyslexia doesn't affect the person from making a judgement it seems. I didn't see this as a humiliation towards jade. But that's my view on it.

People bitching is always likely to make it on air. I've said this countless times, if you act bizarre or foolish in the BB house, you will be mocked. They all laugh about eachother. I've seen Tim say very harsh things about her that's never made it on the show. Were they gonna show that on the LF's or the sugars sisters sunbaking?

That makes sense but I've never agreed with the entitlement claims. Some of the things she's said can be seen in a negative light like the friends not nominating her thing, but I just felt she was hurt that she didn't have the close relationships with them that she thought. She seemed to understand they had the right to nominate her but thought the reasons seemed pretty lame if they were really her friends. Naive and unrealistic but not entitlement imo. It's all about bias when viewing the actions and reactions of others. What one sees as positive others view as negative and vice versa.

Never would have crossed my mind thagt it was that lol

They stopped her diary chats as they were all the same & boring.

I haven't seen anyone but Jade call herself dumb - and go on to demonstrate that with: 100,000 million Aussies, and the filing cabinet, and hero worshipping ED.
 
The dumb blonde being trashed by the jock is the editorial line they want irrespective if her difficulties have arisen from a medical condition.

She flitted between two countries as well so she has two languages to deal with when dyslexia is an issue with the language part of the brain.

She has excellent spatial ability (often the offset of dyslexia) hence why she could put together that little bike faster than anyone else, solve jigsaw puzzles quickly etc. and no doubt why she is a fine artist like her father (although they'll never show her work).

I know bitching makes it to air. I was responding to your point that the only person you've seen making fun of Jade's intelligence is Jade herself. I was simply pointing out that isn't the case.

Agree.
Sad thing is I think she knows her and Ed will probably go nowhere once they are outside yet she continues to talk about moving to Melbourne, marriage etc.

I remember an incident where mikkayla was saying how dumb tahan is with the sugar siter and jade all sitting around. They all do it. They all say things about one another. If anything I feel like I've heard tahan being called dumb and stupid above any other hm, but that is my opinion of course
 
What opportunities?

I certainly hope you don't mean the cringeworthy Surly date .

But what made it cringeworthy?

Think about it.

Jades reaction, yes?

I saw it as a perfect opportunity for Jade to grow a spine and ask Ed wtf he was smoking, but no, he gave her a rock and waffled about her elbows etc and she lapped it up. Jeebus, her Ed obsession is/was the most dynamic thing about her.

No-one can deny she's a nice girl and a loyal friend and thats due to her edits as well. So on balance I'd say she's gotten a fair shake.
