The hated for Jade is out of proportion?

[ichi]

Bloody hell, could you imagine how Ed would react if Jade was smart and assertive?

The way he reacted around Mikkayla initially no doubt

Hate for any of these Housemates is too extreme- they're just not that bad enough as people to warrant getting that worked up.

Jade pisses me off.
Bullishly and relentlessly at Ed, refusing to take "No" for an answer from him, the antics of "oh I didn't know these knickers were see-thru", servility to certain types of men, and the shorts designed by a proctologist, all have me distinctly unimpressed but then her gentle nature, warmth and vulnerability disable my grudge function.

I feel v.mixed about Jade, and it's probably to her credit. I really like her;for her kindness, her hard-working and compassionate love for family and friends, her bravery and that she has a sound and genuine conscience.

Even if she is the real life Betty Draper.

Some people in this forum have started to pick on every single word that Jade said. There is a new anti-Jade thread everyday. I feel sorry for her b/c she is a kind, vulnerable & loyal girl.

I know it might be painful for those who have been fooled in love to watch. But if you have gone through been you may understand well why she is keep doing such silly things. Women are normally feel emotionally attached with men after kissing, cuddling because of increases of oxytocin. If she doesn't meet him on a daily basis & has received intervention from family or friends, she may don't fall so hard for him, but they have been living together 3 months, 24/7 in an amplified environment. So let's say what she is doing in sometimes out of her control.

Most of us were fooled or will be fooled in love once at some stages in our life. Even smart women or successful men can act very silly when they are in love. Can you be sure that you act wisely when you fall for a person who doesn't love you back? So, why don't give the poor girl a break when she just acts like a normal human who is being fooled in love.

She is the person who gets hurt for being played & has to face the hated from the public. If our family members or friends be fooled in love, what should we do to help them get out of it? Support or Bashing?I hope she can overcome this.

You have made some good points but I'm affraid that's beyond the reading and comprehension level of any hater for any particular housemate. Immature behaviour almost everywhere, you can totally tell who the teens are around here -.-

In the online world people get condemned for being good and awarded for being bad, apparently it makes for good television. Even Tim showing his feelings last night made some people suggest that they like him less for missing Mik, Katie and Lucy and Ben. That was low.

She has a poor understanding of the game. Often she and Ed have referred to other housemates as good or bad people. Having judged housemates in this way she considers loyalty to be staying true to her friends (the good people) regardless of what happens throughout the week. She assumes the public will see things as she does and is shocked when her friends are evicted.

Jade is obsessed and therefore only focused on her obsession, nothing else matters and in my opinion this makes her the least deserving housemate because she has alienated herself from the game. BB claimed a 'world first' by allowing Nathan to sacrifice himself and to choose his replacement. Feeling the way she does, one might expect Jade to do likewise tomorrow.

One day I think she will look back and realize she let the real BB experience pass her by.

Unrequited love's a bitch. The more he pushes away the more she wants him.

I dont hate any housemate but I feel exasperation at Jade for how she acts with Ed..have a little self-respect woman
I also feel sorry for her because she will most likely be hurt by Ed once she realises that he doesn't like her other than
as a friend.

I liked her at the beginning she was bubbly and cute but I think most people liked Drade and not Jade on her own

I don't hate jade. I used to like her. The ED thing is just ridiculous and her blindly agreeing with everything he says is pissing me off. She has not clue.

I think a relationship was her strategy to begin with, and when Drew rejected her, she went after Ed. Ed & her had a moment or two of attraction in the early days and she did what she could to make him change his game plan of not having a relationship in the house.

Now she's found herself in an actual relationship with a guy she genuinely likes and she's been kept in, so is running with it. Even though she doesn't agree with everything he comes out with, nor with the way he's playing the game, and can plainly see all his faults.

The only downside to her plan is she's been portrayed as a stalker/bunny boiler etc, which isn't true or fair, and will be evicted because of it. That and Drew is doing nothing but bitching about her constantly to try to influence us to evict her instead of him.

She doesn't even know she's being portrayed like that They obviously don't show it on TV but live feeds show that they have spoken more about stuff then suggested and there is a difference to how Ed is with her now- whether he's putting it on for show, or genuinely cares about her which I'm sure he does, it will still be fueled as stalker-Jade. . .

Meh, at least she has more self-respect than Tully.

Here's my take on Jade. I posted it several days ago on another tread.
____

I have a young daughter and I think a lot about the values and ethics I can give her so she grows up to be a smart, assertive woman. I would feel like a failure if she turned out as vacuous and unthinking as Jade. Many little girls go through a princess stage and that’s fine and natural, but if the parents have ensured their little girl is rewarded for educational achievement rather than for being pretty, then she should grow out of it with a proper sense of self-worth and more ambition in life than wanting to meeting Mr Perfect.

I don’t hate Jade, I feel sorry for her. At almost every general knowledge quiz she’s shown herself to be a complete dunce, and I’m sure it’s not because she’s just stupid, it’s because, like many pretty teenage girls, she was allowed to get away with not working hard at her studies because of her looks. How do you think the stereotype of the ditzy blond came about? They’re not all genuine dimwits because of the colour of their hair or because they’re good looking. It’s a cultural thing, where pretty girls are expected and encouraged to be good looking and compliant, and not much else.

Bloody hell, could you imagine how Ed would react if Jade was smart and assertive? He’d run a mile! But the more involved they become, the more submissive and unthinking Jade becomes. She has repeatedly and willingly chosen to be a doormat. Sure, she’s young and everyone makes mistakes when they’re young. For this reason I pity her rather than hate her. But, again, it just shows her low level of expectation - find a great looking guy and pin him down. As a father I think this is so disappointing. Initially I really liked Jade, but I reckon Tim had it right the other night when he said that Ed and Jade are turning into each other. She wants nothing from Ed except for him to love her back and as a result is willing to overlook his persistent weaknesses and lack of gumption.

I agree with what you've said, but I will give Jade credit for her personality. She may not be smart but I'm sure this experience (the inevitable dumping from Ed post-BB) will encourage her to be more assertive. I think if she takes away that, she'll be right. I will admit she has a kind heart and a strong work ethic (from her discussion about supporting her family during hs with jobs) but she has a lot to learn. I like her because I see she has potential but at the same time I pity her for her woefully inadequate "real-life" thinking.
