I've gotta be honest...I'm kinda liking this Jade that is torturing Ed with all the things Surly made him say while he's helpless to stop it. It's fun to see her laughing about the whole situation and turning it back on him. It makes me love her more, because you know it's irritating him, but she just keeps it up.
I see Ben's eviction as the natural byproduct of the trend towards animosity expressed on these forums and elsewhere. People spend so much time focusing on who they DON'T like, they start trying to play games with voting, instead of just doing what the vote was intended, saving the people they want to keep in the house. I can't vote, but if I could, I would only vote to save Jade when she was up and let all the other stuff sort itself out. In general, viewers (and this board) are so hyper-reactive that even the smallest thing sets them off and next thing you know entire narratives have been created and reinforced with little balance or reason.
