What if Jade and Ed actually became an item after the show, got married had kids and all that stuff. Ed may just be one of those people who doesn't like to show public affection (unless drunk).
Look at Tully and Drew, spend 24 hours attached at the lips, tell each other they love each other, she gets outs out of the house and tells Sonia it wasn't that serious. Jade is having a crack at a guy she is obviously interested in and I for one commend her for her efforts and honestly I hope it pays off. I think they make a great couple, and while he is not my favourite HM, I'm going to give Ed credit where it is due, he played in the AFL, which is a hell of lot more than most of the other HM's have achieved.
It doesn't mean that much to me knowing that he's good at playing with balls.
