Not alone, I think one photo doesn't tell the whole story. I have been happily married for more years than most of you have been alive, my man was very like Ed when I met him. He just didn't do the PDA thing at all, behind closed doors, different story. We also came from 2 different worlds.
Over the years, he became more at ease in public, and now holds my hand every where we go lol. I know in my case it was influence from his parents, as they were the same, so it might just be his 'way' and have nothing to do with how he feels towards her.

Just for clarification, I was never a huge Ed fan, I tolerated him for Jade's sake, but in saying that I don't think he is all bad.

At least the actions are matching the words of being friends and seeing what happens. I don't know what will happen from here but at least they're both aware of the challenges.

I think you're reading my mind again. Just for the record, I also want them to take the opportunity of being together now for BB stuff to spend time together and see if they work together (as long as like you said he's not impeding any of her opportunities). I couldn't think of a worse scenario than Jade dropping everything to move to Melbourne to be with any idealised version of Ed she might have developed in her mind in the house that isn't consistent with real life Ed...only to find out the hard way and having thrown away some opportunities.
I also said a week or so ago that I actually hope they're screwing one another's brains out so at least if nothing happens Jade can at least get it out of her system and not spend the rest of her life wondering what might have been with the perception of him she seemed to have of him in the house.

I just hope she does what's best for her not someone else.

I don't think she ever changed her opinions for Ed (or anyone else) I think she always had a good read on people from a logical standpoint, but would usually let her heart make her final decisions when it came to people.

My opinion, based on things she said not just to Ed but to other people, is that Jade knows exactly who and what Tim is, in terms of manipulation and game play in the house. For her, though, the knowledge, in her head, of these things, did not stop her from still feeling an emotional connection to him. So while she could often discuss and agree with Ed's view on an analytical level, and maybe even offer a different perspective, she would never be able to let that view completely replace her feeling of fondness for Tim.

A really good example, actually, is with Drew and is actually separate from Ed. When Drew betrayed Jade to Tahan, Jade raised Drew's untrustworthiness to Mikkayla. They reconfirmed that in another conversation we saw. Yet when Drew sat and chatted with Jade a few days later, Jade reported to Mikkayla how great it was to have a chat with him, even if she wasn't sure she could trust him. Later, when Drew went after Jade during that family dinner, she was incredibly hurt, telling Mikkayla she was done. And yet she STILL couldn't bring herself to nominate him. Analytically she could feel betrayed by him, she could see his behavior for what it was, but her heart still insisted on seeing him as a friend, as someone she valued. It's that conflict that she felt, with both Tim and Drew, that was at play, not Ed. Ed certainly tried to reinforce the analytical side, encouraged her to let it dictate her actions, but we never saw that actually happen.

After Ed left, we saw Jade still expressing conflicting opinions. For instance, we heard Jade telling Boog how great it was to get to know her, that she had really helped Jade during this time. Yet as Tim grew frustrated with the other 3, he expressed many negative opinions of them to Jade, and, because she wanted to support him emotionally,Jade ended up separated from the others and talking about how she had nothing to say to them. But when she was discussing Tim's behavior with the others after the prank melt down, Jade really had an insightful opinion into Tim's behavior, which wasn't all positive, yet she still ended up hanging with him the most. Ed wasn't there for any of this, yet she was still exhibiting the same logical-emotional duality that she had had when he was there.

And jiminiy crickets, I need to write shorter posts so I can keep up with this thread!

Ed also mentioned in his farewell video, something along the lines of liking that Jade didn't always agree with him. So she obviously was challenging him on some of his opinions.

Ed was apparently on the show. If they put the podcast up I will have a listen to see if he says anything important.

Interesting!

I suspect this might been the case with the ex too, surely she would have known something was wrong a lot earlier on but she really want it to work so stuck around hoping that it would work out because she really loved him (heart over ruling the head).

Absolutely. It's difficult for me to relate to I guess because I've always been the type to have my head overrule my heart, but I can understand it.

Some great insights here. Actually I really enjoyed reading it because I think it's helped me understand Jade's changes of stance on Tim and Drew a bit better. I'd never thought about it like that before - heart overpowering head - which I think is Jade to a tee.

Going on that line of thought you could argue her detractors that she isn't actually blinded by Ed at all, but rather her head may actually know deep down that he's not all that great and the whole thing doesn't reflect well on her but her heart is winning out again over her head. If there's two things Jade is consistent with it's loyalty (sometimes even to a fault) and letting her heart, emotions and feelings win out over her head. Despite what people say I don't think she's stupid at all, but sometimes it just seems that way to people because she lets her heart and emotions dictate her actions. And love her or hate her you've gotta commend her for having the guts to play that way.

Totally agree. Now you're in MY head haha .

I think she definitely knows, even if she didn't know in the house, she knows now, at least since her first trip to Ballina. At the same time, like you said, she's probably going with her heart privately, even if she's behaving logically publicly. My biggest question is if her heart is right. One could argue that her heart was wrong when it came to Drew and Tim, so, going by that, she needs to listen to her head more. At the same time, maybe her heart knows something we don't when it comes to Ed. I have no idea!

No I am with you. Way to much over analysis going on. Jade digs Ed. Let her live her life how she chooses.
Click to expand...

Agreed (although the analysis on my part was for Ed not Jade). And honestly her haters will use anything against her to feed the agenda (confirmation bias as [MENTION=36695]Jane Doe[/MENTION] put it). She was touching his butt. It's not like she was digging for gold like some other people lol...

She may be hinting something

I think she's taking a swipe at Drully one way or another (she was in Melbourne last but wasn't invited to Drew's surprise birthday party), but whether it has a double meaning about Jade/Ed potentially keeping things private I don't know.

She could just be saying that her private relationship with her boyfriend is better than any of the showmance stuff.
