The Bachelorette - Season 12 - JoJo Fletcher - General Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* - #2

KB_Mom wrote:I was rooting for Calia as next lead and so hoping it would not be JoJo who I find annoying, grating, fake and acted her way through from night one.   The consolation prize for me will be to sit back and watch a season with no emotional investment and just enjoy the eye candy, because honestly I could care less if she picks a Bach intern as her F1.  Only downside is if I really, really like a guy, I'll be rooting for him to be eliminated.  

The bolded was me during Emily's season. And Des'. And Andi's. And Kaitlyn's. Lol

I actually like JoJo and think she would be fabulous! She is beautiful, and seems very sweet. I am a little surprised but happy.

Someone brought this up on one of the threads and it makes me wonder if there could be something in it. They suggested that Jojo being lead would take Ben off the hook for all the ILYs and it makes sense if this is true because how "heartbroken" could she really be if she's going to be lead? Ben's been taking a lot of flak about them and even though I don't think TPTB are the least bit kind, they do want a happy, popular couple on the end. Something to think about.

While I am not a fan of Caila's..there's a scene on ABC's site where she talks about being a "performer" which is one of the reasons I couldn't buy what she was selling. However, I hope that she wasn't intentionally misled. I wonder when they actually sign the dotted line?

I look forward to watching JoJo even though I anticipate all of the regular hijinks of the franchise to be in play. So many of the ladies that she's on TB with have praised her and seem to adore her and we have Ben's words, too, if they matter.

I know they say that Fleiss and the execs at ABC don't really consider public opinion on SM when picking the next Bachelor/Bachelorette, but this seems to be a case where they did. I can't help but think, though, that some of the bigger bachelor tweeters saying they would not watch/tweet if it were Caila probably had some pull. Kelly Travisty and Possessionista come to mind. Also, Ashley Spivey (though I know she hasn't tweeted as much lately, but she seems to be tight with Fleiss and producers). Those were BIG anti-Caila protesters.

I do think JoJo can be heartbroken because Ben chose someone else but be ready to move on. It's not like it just happened yesterday. And as Ben said the best way to get over a broken heart is to fall in love again. Maybe JoJo will get that chance.

I haven't come across that post yet, but what I was going to say is, IMO JoJo will come across very understanding and accepting of the two ILY's. We already read in the media, that she was upset but understanding. This happened on Season 2 of Bach Canada. The F2 was very cordial and even said how could he not fall in love with the F1, just look at her, she's gorgeous, paraphrasing. IMO If she does try and act like the distraught F2, it will look so scripted, because obviously she isn't especially knowing she is the lead.

And now I don't want Jordan Rodgers on the show. I don't want him to even have the chance of getting stuck with Jojo.

Well, it might be better than for people still sh*tting on Caila all the time. The hate is real and I feel it at times which makes me want to block everyone. Becca must feel a bit jipped..it could have been her . Caila does seem fine per snapchat. I think she might have put hints that she's still "looking for love".

I'll be interested to see what kinds of guys they still pick for JoJo. I will for sure think Jordan will make it far...unless they really bring on some other guys.

Wonder why RS is still sitting on it? Waiting till Monday? Or he's still not sure...

Maybe RS goes to bed early , didn't have time to stalk here tonight. He needs his beauty sleep after all.

This was so me during Kaitlyn season

I'm actually excited about this news! Thanks GA for the info!

I think Jojo is a much better pick for lead. However, I do not want to see her dumb brothers again! Ugh
