Jade 2013 Appreciation thread

Can only find 2.15pm flights.

Seems she is going to the GC. Some people use that airport when going to Byron so maybe she missed all the Ballina flights and had to go to that airport instead. Just saw on Twitter that Katie and Lucy are on the GC.
 
She did say she would be going to Ballina on Sunday. Will most likely stay with Katy & Lucy to-night. Could be organising the balance of her luggage etc.
 
So BB is finally over. :-(

Looks like i'll have to buy NW to see what Jade and Ed said during their interview last night. Based on his last Instagram comment, it seems like there could be a future for them. I guess time will tell.

It has been great chatting to you all! Will miss it! Can't believe my fave got second. Back to life and Facebook until next year. This year's BB will be hard to top. :-)

Which threads do you post on during the off-season? I have only ever come on here during BB and never as much as this year. :-)
 
I totally believe that they're together. It's obvious.

However, I'm not sure if I'm digging it or not. Don't get me wrong, I want Jade to be happy, and if that has to be with Ed then great. It's just I've never been a believer of someone having to learn to love you. I do think Ed started to fall for Jade later in the house when his friends left and he had to spend more time with her. That was obvious to me. The edits could say "Jade's an obsessive stalker" all they liked, but it was clear to anyone with half a brain cell that there was a change in Ed. However it really pisses me off that he didn't see what a good thing he had in her all along. Jade is an amazing girl with a huge heart and so much to offer, I think she deserves someone who could see that right away and not just start to see it when he was forced to spend time with her.

I know this post was ages ago, but I've been thinking about this since I saw it when I woke up this morning and I'm still trying to sort out my thoughts, because I agree and disagree.

I think Ed was attracted to Jade from the start, but because he was so hard-core gaming, didn't want any distractions. This is far different than not appreciating her. At the same time, the fact that he let his mind over rule his feelings is not necessarily a point in his favor. The fact that it did eventually change, though, could be.

I don't necessarily think that love that grows is any less valid than a more instantaneous connection. I think it's important to see if this represents a difference in a person's usual behavior and if so, why the difference exists. In Ed's case, I just don't think he's programmed to fall in love quickly and easily. Growing to care about someone is how he operates, and he resists it because then he has to deal with emotions. Once he's all in, though, he's going to stay that way, not just throw it all away because he's suddenly attracted to someone else. In Jade's case, where she's already been scarred by a guy cheating, that probably outweighs his reticence.

Where I think Jade and Ed work is that Jade knows and accepts Ed's difficulty with processing emotion. She's been willing to make herself vulnerable because once she does, Ed usually responds in kind. At the same time, I think there were times when Ed, in his stupidly awkward way, tried to communicate his affection for her. As stupid as his goodbye video was, the end, where he holds up the scarf that she made for him and talks about it, is really him trying to tell her that he values her and he's holding on to something she gave him. It's so horribly done, and you can tell he's so uncomfortable with the underlying emotions, but I think the intent was actually there.

Having said all that, I do think it's important that Jade makes Ed be an equal partner in making the relationship work from this point forward. The fact that he's spent time with her family, seems to be comfortable spending time with her friends, and seems to be doing and saying the right things may indicate that that is actually happening. I don't know, but I'm willing to sit back and see what happens next.

More than anything, I just want for her to be happy personally and professionally. She brightened up many of my days this past summer, so I wish only good things for her!

And so ends my last long analysis in this thread!

Well said, as usual I agree with your analysis. He definitely was attracted to her from early on, kissing her when she was up for eviction in the second week through the bars and asking her for another one straight after. It was his family's advice, being on tv and friends in the house that held him back imo. I'm happy for her that things are looking positive. Whether or not he's as into her as she is to him, time will tell.

I think there was also a lot of pressure and influence from his 'friends' - all stupid, ugly idiots might I add - that made him think twice about it all. In particular Heidi, who didn't like Jade at all. Ed was quite close to her and she was like a rift that pushed Ed away from Jade.
They all didn't like her and it was only one they all got evicted (thank heavens) could Ed actually get to know Jade properly with them influencing his mind.
