I've had 2 glasses of wine now so please bear with me... but even though I was very vocal about never liking Tully in the house and went from kinda liking Drew to not liking him at all to liking him more in his final fortnight or so in the house: I don't think he was used. I think his peen may have got in the way of his brain at times and remember 1. he broke up with his gf without telling her he was going on BB and made her think it was simply because she was going overseas (cruel imo) and 2. he said a few times he was a bad bf.

I said well before this thread that I didn't think they'd last long but I thought they'd last longer than Jaded which may or may not be true now. But even though I do agree she maneuvered him away from key people in the house, he jumped in eyes wide open. They had crazy, often uncomfortable at times to watch chemistry but it was there. And the things like making her that little star thingie, and being so concerned about her rock... they were one of those love hard, die hard kind of couples who I'm sure we'll see pop up together somehow again thanks to [MENTION=24613]Reaper[/MENTION]. She NEEDS to be alone and start opening herself up to her fans or she'll soon be the equiv of Estelle. Drew is not some innocent puppy in all this though.

Well said again [MENTION=30855]Mrs[/MENTION]Butterface.
I for one never believed that she deliberately used Drew in the house. Their relationship was genuine. Warped and frustrating but genuine. The chemistry oozed out of them. That is why I supported their relationship and couldn't give a toss about JadeEd as it never seemed genuine to me. It is just how she has handled things of late that I don't quite agree with

Just watched the latest Community, this song came up and it was good.

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing
As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this you know there's nothing
More than this tell me one thing
More than this ooh there is nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this you know there's nothing
More than this tell me one thing
More than this no, there's nothing

More than this nothing
More than this
More than this nothing

Hahaha, I did the exact same thing when I watched that episode last night!

Yes! That is all!

I will defend Tully by saying she very motivated to achieve her goals and to further her career (however people interpret that), so I think Drew's ambiguity about completing his degree probably drove her mad. Time is probably more important to her because she doesn't know how long she has left with her mum, and she fears that she with suffer the same fate.

I know we don't get along on some things, but when you post insightful comments like this, I want to say thank you.
 
In Drew's defence re the going back to uni thing, he simply just might not want to start the mundane 9-5 "real life" job yet. And it's not like he can just finish his degree and then not opt to use it yet in the work force. In most professions nobody is going to hire a new grad with no experience that's been out of uni for a few years. It's just assumed that by that stage most of the skills they learnt would have been forgotten and if they're going for a new grad then they'll go for someone recently graduated because they'll expect that the information and skills are still fresh so they can come in and hit the ground running. I'm sure Drew is smart enough to know that the moment he finishes that degree he has to start his real life, 9-5 job.

He's young, impulsive and said himself that he likes the drama and wants to have fun. He'll never be freer than he is now, so if he wants to just have fun and live everyday as it comes, if he wants to experience new things like trying his hand at modelling and acting then now is his time to do it. His degree will still be there for him to finish and get a 9-5 job from when he's ready. He's probably just not ready to start that chapter of his life yet and that's totally understandable. I know the mothers in us are all thinking "he needs to go back to uni", but at the same time if he starts working in his field before he's ready and squanders this time that most likely wont come along again then he's probably going to be filled with regret and be miserable later in life. He's got his whole life to be a "grown up" and work full time, let him enjoy the experience for as long as he financially can IMO.
 
I agree, Drew should pursue the opportunities that have come from the show, he is smart enough to go back to uni if nothing works out for him.
 
Well, if nothing else, I'll be eternally grateful to Tully and Drew for hooking up as it spawned one of the funniest and most spontaneous moments in television ever to my mind: Ben's "I'm in the pool.", followed by Drew's infectious belly laughs.

Not sure if anyone else feels this way about Tully, but despite the fact that she grates on me and drives me nuts; despite the fact that I think she's shallow and flippant one moment...at other times deep, enigmatic and profound...I find it quite compelling and addictive watching and reading about her.
The one thing I always try and keep in my mind is that this young woman has had to deal with probably the most traumatic thing anyone could ever be faced with...your Mother not recognising who you are. I have no doubt Tully has suffered (and is still suffering) grief...probably PTSD as well.

The person we see today, I feel, is a sum of all this and far be it from me to judge her quirks and coping mechanisms. I don't think I would have emerged from such trauma as intact as she is. I had a breakdown when my sister failed to recognise family in the end stages of her brain tumour. It's just the most devastating thing and too painful to countenance. Poor Tully.
 
Pretty much exactly how I feel, [MENTION=2535]lynn-ann[/MENTION], and I'm so sorry about your sister. Thank you for putting it all so eloquently.

Thank you, littlebear <3. Although it's been 24 years since my sister died (she was 27) and although the grief is no longer raw it's still there so I just felt like going in to bat for Tully as you just can't underestimate the effect this tragedy can have on an individual. (I know Tully's Mum has not passed away but she has, in reality 'lost' her mother).
My sister had 2 little boys who she didn't recognise at the end and that was the most agonising thing of all. The eldest boy was 3 and has vague memories of sitting on her bed. It had a profound effect on him to the point of becoming catatonic for a couple of years, unable to even walk. With Therapy and all the love and support we could provide, he is still one very damaged individual at 24. He is very similar in personality to Tully and it's just heart-breaking they've had to go through this.

Congrats for passing the 1000th page mark and having over 1 million views. I'm glad it's you guys rather than that over other mob that's reached this milestone. :cool:

what happened with your sister, her boys, your family, and yourself, it's heartbreaking :(

i think the problem with the article was the focus was on the break up, but there were 3 different story lines bundled in it

1) the BB financial struggle
2) the Drully relationship and break up
3) Alzheimers, the disease, and how it has affected Tully

naturally the 2nd one is what we focused on and we posted our opinions

what i do remember from the article is how Tully's mum went from hosting dinner parties, filled with conversation, to drinking Draino without any idea what she was doing. worse than a child, as a child still possesses the ability to learn right from wrong, what is safe/dangerous, people/places, they can recognise these

3 separate articles should have been written, all would be an interesting read if explained in greater detail

Interesting... I saw it as him just being really bored..ooh here's some fire, I think I'll put this on instagram..ooh here's a glass bottle, why don't I put this as my head...

..and I didn't really see it as an attack from the brother but more as a friendly comment...like hey you mentioned glass jaw, hey I know a 50 cent lyric that has glass jaw... I saw Drew has favorited some of her brother's pictures recently (actually both brothers) so I took it actually as a sign that they still got along...

Just my perspective

And mine too, although I sometimes suspect he's had a billy.

so was i. they post in here too along with us Drullys, Brews, Teddys, Drims, Jims, Jaded and solos :)

I'd say he probably knows that and is just attempting his weak display of trolling once again. It seems to be his life's ambition to get the "Jade worshippers" to notice him. He's a tad obsessed (the irony).
