Wasn't that a perfect realistic wake up call? Amanda had no chance after that . Besides , they were so young to be without their mommy so long.

Yeah, that was funny. You could hear him thinking "Oh man, you can say that again!". No way is Ben ready to deal with two cranky toddlers on a daily basis.

Help! Don't know how to stop it from playing automatically.

When Jojo says "My feelings are elsewhere...." she probably means with Ben (and not with her ex). I don't think she ends it and takes herself out.

Thanks for posting!

Thank you for posting. I hope Chad is there for Jojo after Ben lets her go. He said in his note, I'll love you forever. She'll need that.

Seeing Jojo's dad and now brothers, I'm not sure I want to see her as the Bette. Can someone tell me what her family was like when her brother did a reality show?

Oh at this fake drama with JoJo and her fam. 

Hmm, I wonder if that's the only involvement with the ex and he doesn't actually show up on their date. I'm leaning towards thinking that it's just the roses he left at her door with the letter.

I don't see JoJo's dad doing anything differently than the other dads, moms or siblings on many past hometown dates. Lindsay from Sean's season has a dad that's a general in the army. I remember they portrayed him as a hard *** in the preview and he ended up giving a pretty awesome speech to Sean before he gave him his blessing. I'm curious to see how that HTD plays out.

Ben does smirk when she says her feelings are elsewhere so yeah, the fake drama will set her up drop her walls. The producer who wrote the note has nice handwriting .

Does anyone see one for Jojo's anywhere? I read on Twitter about a video of her getting flowers and. Letter from her ex but can't seem to find it..

Thank you. These teasers leave me wanting. Intended purpose I guess.

agreed! Why nothing about JoJo's date?

They probably held out on JoJo's date so when it's played last to make you wonder if Ben will keep her. So when he does the audience will then understand why he told her he loves her too. Created drama and Ben's conflict

They all grew up together in Denton. Jake and Ben Patton are good friends.

Interesting. Done a reality show. Friends with Jake who has been the Bachelor, but attacks Ben as brainwashing his sister? Now why don't I buy their over protective shtick from next weeks previews? Just more stuff that stacks up against JoJo for me.
