Regarding Tully

Yeah it is a bit weird isn't it? I guess it means if you feel / do any of those things on an extreme basis.

Let's try and answer for Tully

•Have I been labeled as “too emotional” or overly sensitive? YES

•If a friend is distraught, do I start feeling it too? I pretend to if it suits me

•Are my feelings easily hurt? I fly off the handle at any hint of criticism, is that the same?

•Am I emotionally drained by crowds, require time alone to revive? I drain the emotion out of the crowd

•Do my nerves get frayed by noise, smells, or excessive talk? Pass

•Do I prefer taking my own car places so that I can leave when I please? PASS

•Do I overeat to cope with emotional stress? Doesn't look like it

•Am I afraid of becoming engulfed by intimate relationships? No I want them to be at my beck and call constantly
 
Regardin Tully doesn't really tell me whether I am supposed to hate or love her and the Drew threads seem to have disappeared. But I have something to say anyway.

When 'Drade' got stuck in the mud many of us were disappointed and sad. We love a good romance. Forget about the meathead Ed for a moment. Why could Drew not find Jade attractive enough to wanna be with her? In all honesty, the conclusion I jumped to was - Drew is gay. Yes, yes I know, kinda naive.

Now Drew is seemingly infatuated with Tully. Is he using this as a strategy to go further in the game? I don't think so for two reasons.
Firstly, I still can't see him to be smart enough for such a ploy.
Secondly, he should be aware of the script by now i.e. Tim and Drew are this year's Josh and Michael and therefore not need to put on a showmance.

Yet, Tully has a hold on Drew. Why?

Tully is domineering, she uses emotional blackmail and basically she comes across like the proverbial 'mother from hell'.
What do Tully and Jade have in common? None of the above.

Nuff said.

Even though Tully gets on my nerves, I can see why folks would like to see her around for a while.
 
I still think Tully is acting.

She is playing the viewers as fools. So is her GF.

No I don't have a tin foil hat.
 
The tactics of diversion used by some of these people really frustrate me, esp Tully and the departed Heidi. When Tim was talking about how he was friends with Heidi, but once she twigged he was a threat and didn't worship the normal Aussie males in the house, offering up to them the accolades and subservience that is their right, and thus she was working against him, that he did not now feel close to her, or that he could trust her, she said 'I don't trust you,' diverting the conversation away from where Tim had wanted it to go. She then said some little thing like I have just honestly told you how I feel or something, and completely avoided the topic.

Tully takes it to the extreme with her tactic of "Miss Tully, why did you kill those babies?" "Why are you shouting at me?" is her reply, or "Why swear at me?" (and she swore first, anyway.)

So, is this a tactic, to avoid a difficult conversation, or at least stop it being on the other person's terms, or is it that despite the question, it is more important that I am not sworn at? This would be fine if she had decent manners, I suppose, but it is just a habitual way of seeming to be put upon. Can anyone remember Jimoen's Martyr Brothers sketches?

anyone have the clip of their first kiss.

I think Drew might hit a homerun if they end up in the Presidential Sweet

Yes, it's addressing the format of the discussion (or question, or whatever), rather than the content. It's not fun having someone swear at you or yell at you, but in a mature relationship, those things get addressed at the end, when everyone's had time to calm down. To give proper respect to your "opponent's" feelings, you have to realise that they're getting so fired up because they're passionate about the topic, it's really hurt them, etc.

Then later on, you can go back and address the format, asking them to be mindful of their tone and behaviour while angry.

But I'm sure we've all been through it, and there's nothing more frustrating than someone getting pissed off at you because you're pissed off. HOW DARE YOU, right?
