Jade 2013 Appreciation thread

He told Jade in the spa that he had said in the diary room that he cares about her too. Look I think he may be getting closer with her for strategy too but he has been interested in her since early on. Drew her ex-husband picked up on an attraction and admitted a bit of jealousy in the diary room just after his and Jade's faux divorce.

He might not be exactly her type but she's attractive and let's face it, i'm sure we have all dated someone who is not strictly our type.

He probably does feel closer to her but "as a friend" and cares cause he can see how devoted she is to him. Probably if she didn't show as much interest he would be, tbh I think he's more attracted to Tahan. I just don't see any chemistry or attraction from his side, only Jades.
Maybe if he stops nominating her people will believe he genuinely cares, cause it doesn't seem like it.
 
Go Jade you rock! Idc what people say about you but it won't make me change my mind about you. You have a wonderful heart and I'm sure one day you'll make a wonderful wife to a lovely man!
 
Oh hang on, I'm watching the repeat and Jade's talking about how Ed has told her so many times that he's not interested and doesn't want a relationship etc So she hears it, she knows and understands but keeps at him despite that. Much as I honestly like Jade, she needs to quit it.
 
I have to say I just don't get Jade. She has some lovely qualities - she seems to be kind & loyal. But, she seems to be constantly seeking approval & compliments from others with her constant self-deprecation. And, although I think Ed is a dick, her obsession with him is not normal for someone her age especially given the fact that she has obviously caught on to his mixed signals. Anyone with even a smidgen of of self-worth would have seen him for what he is & given up on him a long time ago.
 
It will take her a while to get over her break up. I know what is like to be hit for a row of sixes. Her body language (always having her arms crossed is blocking people out) she will not let anyone in and get to close to her. Ed has knocked her defences down and she likes even his limited attention. I sincerely wish her all the best and hope her life takes a turn for the better when this experience is over for her, and hope she takes home the cheque before she leaves.
Yes her self esteem and her judgement is clouded in the BB bubble, there are lessons to be learnt and lessons to be gained.
 
Dear Jade, what about that whole thing with Tim choosing you - don't you just hate it when someone keeps on after you even though you've told them it's not going to happen? Oh wait...

I kinda agree she has crossed into OTT obsession land. Even ignoring whether Ed is worthy of her adoration or not she is going to far in the attempts to 'snare her man'. I like her generally but Im not liking that side of her at all. Its a bit weird now. ....oh ok that's the weird side of her coming out lol
 
Yeah, I'm kinda over supporting Jade at the moment. I mean she's a lovely girl, very loyal with a wonderful heart... However the thing with Ed has gone too far and I'm over watching it. I thought I'd wait to see what happened once Ed left or she got over it but neither is going to happen (I reckon Jade will be evicted before Ed now) unfortunately.
 
I think it's hard to understand because in most other areas she approaches things with a level head and maturity. With men, it's almost like she's naive and young, especially with regards to asking her friends to pass on messages, and the bracelet etc.

To be honest, these are the moments that they show us because that's what will be talked about. It makes it hard to balance it out with the other 90% of who she is when we don't see it, our minds just see her ' all the time' doing this.

She can't step back for a couple of days and get perspective, he's there every time she turns around. With my first boyfriend, in the year we went out, I could feel him pulling away after maybe 6 months. Did I give up? No, I tried harder, thought that I could change his mind again, didn't ask him because I didn't want to hear him say it. Then that Christmas he gave me a ring.. Said it was a friendship ring because that's all he felt for me and had for months. Mind you we were sleeping together the whole tone. That was many years ago anyway, my point is, I can understand what she's thinking.. And my heart breaks for her.

She wants what she didn't have growing up, stability and someone who'll be there for her no matter what. She's just chosen the wrong guy.
 
^^ The two situations are not that comparable tbh. You were in a real relationship to begin with and it gradually fizzled out from you bf's end. Jade's relationship, on the other hand, has been all in her head.

I'm sorry but kissing, cuddling and other types of fondling does not a relationship make. In jade's world it does but in the real world that most people inhabit it doesn't.
 
Well... poor love. Hope this is a cautionary tale for young and older women alike.

She mentioned to Tim about her father's artwork selling to the Pope.

He's a pretty wonderful artist: http://www.fabiopietrantonio.com/

And seemingly a hopeless romantic. One of his sculptures called Natural Love, a hanging sculpture decorated with 10,000 hand dried rose petals.

So that's where she gets it.

So he must have gotten her mother pregnant, buggered off back to Italy, and did not contribute to her upbringing as she was clearly very poor. Perhaps his major success came later. Perhaps he was a deadbeat dad.

I know they're not the same, I was just trying to explain that sometimes you can know something in your head but still try anyway. She's said it's embarrassing, she's cringing at herself too. His emotions aren't involved, hers are, and emotions aren't always rational. I've seen her be pretty switched on in other areas, but with him her feelings are blocking logic. You can laugh or not agree, I understand that. It's just what I think.

And that's why she didn't want to get involved with Drew, because he reminded her of her dad

Drew doesn't seem flighty to me. He's just extremely suggestible and codependent. If she needs stability, a chemical engineer in the booming power industry would be a safe bet.

His parents like her and even vote for her! Bet they're frothing about Tully.

**still a Drade tragic**
 
^ in all fairness, I think people tend to forget that Jade is only very young. She speaks quite maturely and I think that makes people forget that apart from the Sisters she's the youngest HM this series.The other girls around her age in the house are also gaga over Ed (Lord only knows why), but as someone the same age I can understand it. I don't like it, but I can understand it.

She obviously has this preconceived idea of what she wants in a relationship but she'll grow out of that eventually. I think Drew suffers from the same thing with Tully. They both seem to like the idea of Ed (the "kindness" and stability) and Tully (the drama) more than Ed and Tully themselves. Unfortunately it's something they're only going to get over with time. As much as I enjoyed the whole fake marriage thing, I've thought all series that it would have been more effectively had have they chosen two older housemates who had more life experience when it came to lasting relationships.
