It's pretty clear what's going on when a single guy from this franchise follows a super hot girl before meeting her or even seeing her season. There's nothing wrong with it, but it is what it is. Like I said before, if he was just interested in friendship or discussing current events, he would have followed the other 25 rejected girls from Ben's season. But, nope, he just followed the hottest one. JMO.

It may be clear to YOU but that's not what's clear to me in the least. They all follow each other from the show, IMO, some follow everyone, some follow a few, some follow none. Maybe they don't know who the other contestants are, maybe they just want to follow the speculated F1-2-3 maybe they want to follow the person RS says will be the next lead, who knows what the method to the madness is, but IMO I would never say so and so is following so and so because he wants to get into her pants. I don't know that, whether it's Robert or Nick.

Back to Joelle - Now that she has made her SM public again, this will be the time to keep tabs on her and what her approach will be towards SM and how she behaves from here on out. This will give us an indication of whether she will be a walking billboard to be the next lead or will she be less in your face.

Nick followed Joelle Fletcher, and vice versa, before filming of the Bachelor began and she was announced as a possible contestant. They may have either met or were introduced, somehow.

Robert and Joelle have been following each other on Insta for quite a while. Loooooooong before she went on the show!

A lot of these people follow one another and more often than not, despite what have been said, it's not for ulterior motives, but because of their shared experiences. "Friending" on SM is what people from this franchise do. How come we don't bat an eye when the female ones follow the guys from other seasons?

I'm pretty neutral on Nick, but I do think that if we had read "Zach and Robert started following Joelle", everyone's minds would have automatically jumped to the same thing, but when it's Nick...obviously, he's just trying to mentor her!

@nothatgirl
They followed each other before Ben's show even started filming...  so before Joelle was even known to be on Ben's season.
So it has nothing to do with being a "Bach castoff/rejectee" since she wasn't even on the show yet.

And since Nick and Joelle followed each other BEFORE Ben's season even started filming, who's to say she maybe wanted him for the lead? Since one can run wild with speculation I think I will go with that one. Yup. Sounds good.

What I wanted to point out, following Debut's post was that both Nick and Robert followed Joelle Fletcher before she was announced as a cast on this season.

What we ASSUME about the online "friendships" and underground Facebook club is based on how we think in our hearts.

Now that we know who followed who and when, thanks to all for clarifying the actual timeframes, we can get back on topic.

TY

It will be interesting to see if Joelle is a shoo-in for next lead based on her speculated/sleuthed to be possible F3 and her fireworks and baseball dates. I think a lot will depend on her edit and how likable she is to the audience/viewers.

I'm a member of several "underground" Facebook clubs and none of them have anything to do with hookups!  :halo: They simply connect people with common interests, are monitored by an admin and posts can only be seen by the members. Obviously - to me - the common denominator of the Bach group is their appearance on the Bach. 

Joelle is very pretty, educated, has a career and is well-connected. Good for her! I hope her personality matches her appearance and look forward to getting to "know" her on the show.

I like her a bit better after seeing all the pics and vids of her awesome dog. If she brings him on dates, I'll be her biggest supporter for the next lead.

Just a bit bothered by all the extreme filtering going on in her pics.

^^^ agreed at the filtering

From her pics she certainly doesn't have the girl next door vibe

When I was early 20, I did find the 3x guys attractive. They are more mature and they know how to take care of girls. So I don't think it is abnormal for JoJo to follow Nick, or for Nick to follow JoJo.

ps I dont think JoJo is the hottest girl this season, so I dont think all guys want to hook up with her.

She's pretty but I'm just not getting the next lead vibe from her. In previous seasons, the favourite was already out there, Andi, Britt, Kaitlyn, nothing about her stands out to me yet.

I will have to wait till I pay attention to the editing followed by who they are pushing vs who viewers prefer.

I agree GA. She doesn't really have the "it" quality to me. Whereas when I look through Caila's IG, she just looks like she could light up a room.
