Not sure what you mean by saying 'they took advantage of his naivete'?? In what way was Andrew naive?

Andrew was in a 'house' surrounded by his mates (he was, as I recall, very popular with the other HMs) and Jedward had come in and were playing to an audience that were ignoring them at best (apart from Rachel, lol) and acting in a hostile manner at worst (Andrew), so how come it's Andrew who's 'so vulnerable'?
I actually quite liked Andrew in BB, but I thought his behaviour that night when Jedward were performing was very odd - they were meant to be ignoring them and he stood there, right in front of them, arms folded, staring them out ....
why, lol? He looked like a little kid who's nose is put out of joint when new kids join their playgroup.
I'd never seen Jedward before that night (didn't watch X-Factor) but loved their energy, and when John shoved Andrew out of the way so he could perform his sommersault (part of the routine of All The Small Things) it became one of my BB highlights and was the point, I think, when I became a fan of the twins.
Andrew wasn't hurt, he was shoved out of the way by a lad younger and arguably weighed less than he did. The only thing that may have been hurt was his pride as John managed to brilliantly undermine his ridiculous pomposity
I appreciate Jedward are not everyone's cup of tea - there's plenty of acts out there who aren't mine, but in their defence I've never found them (in interviews) to be anything other than appreciative of the chance they've been given and down-to-earth ... quite the opposite of being 'full of their own self-importance', in fact.
