That entire preview just seemed so contrived. Jojo's tears even felt fake to me. Hmm..will be interesting to watch it play out tonight.

This all feels extremely fake. They are all acting regarding the ex IMO... Hm... why?

I don't think it's fake as far as I doubt very much that Ben or Jojo knew this was happening. It suits Fleiss to keep them in the dark to better amp up the drama. I imagine we'll see more of the letter tonight before Ben arrives. It looked to me like Jojo was more crying because she was frustrated and this was the last thing she wanted to happen. JMO

Wonder why all her activities are canceled because of rain or storms.  Umm.  God speaking to them...  

True, she wanted things to go smoothly when Ben met her family and instead she got drama.

We will see tonight how it really goes but the goodbye doesn't look good. But other than Chris' on Des' season (I don't think he was F1 as of the HTDs). Has the F1 ever got a "bad" HTD?

Not that I can remember. I know last season Jades was last.

I don't think there is a set order that ties to the F1 for HTD showings. I think its just however fits their story the best. But i could be wrong.

Or they have the same type of "luck" my dad did. He had something with it raining every time he had a major event planned. It was the oddest thing, hahaha.

Last season it went Becca, Whitney, Kaitlyn then Jade compared to this season it's going Amanda, Lauren, Caila then JoJo. Seems like no pattern to me either.

I admit, it looks really producer set-up, much like Ali's phone call to Jake asking to come back after she left at F4. All to garnish more sympathy for her to return as the "Ette because she was both loved/disliked for her cattiness in the mansion & beyond.
I don't know why TPTB felt they had to go this route for a possible JoJo 'Ette. Strange.

How do they rope the Ex into doing this stuff?

blackmail.
