@sophienette I saw your post in the locked thread, so I'll answer both here. I'm 99% sure JoJo is the next lead. IMO the next lead isn't the  lead until the limo's are pulling up. Anything can change on a dime, and it has for many seasons. I suppose they can change their minds again, but they have a couple of days to do it if they start filming mid week. Sleuthers haven't noticed any other filming. @Longhornfan was the one who noticed the Bachelor filming in Dallas on her local news. This is an excellent example of "keep on sleuthing".

Also, I can assure every one Caila was not in on anything but rather another example of being blindsided.

thanks GA!

I feel like I'm in the minority with this, but I don't really find Jojo interesting. Yea she has good traits and charisma, but she seems like a generic pick. TPTB don't like to stray from their formula, even with all this diversity talk.

Oh well. Looking forward to a season full of hotties.

^ Well, a minority of at least two. I don't find JoJo interesting either and will only watch for the hopefully hot guys

Thanks GA
If Caila is already strongly disliked on sm now, can you imagine what it's going to be like if she's the lead? So in a way I am happy that she's free from intense public scrutiny. It must be very hard for her parents to see such attack on her. I know if it were my child, I would want to fight back every single negative post, even though it's probably not a smart thing to do.
Anyway, I hope to see some successful career minded men in their 30s on Jojo' season. Mixed with some complicated interesting men and guys with perfect abs... I will be a happy viewer !

JoJo is a dominant woman and a guys' girl and I'm the complete opposite of that so I wasn't able to connect with her as well as the other women. Not that I'm so much like Caila but I was able to relate to her better in some ways. Lauren is probably the closest to my personality but she wasn't an option for the lead.

Is she though? Or is she just a self-assured person? She seems like a girls' girl too since many of the other women have raved about her and she was so close to Becca, who is very much a girls' girl. If you want to hear what Lauren H. has to say about her then go to 19:25 in the newest podcast here https://soundcloud.com/bachelor-podcast That is some seriously high praise. "The kindest, sweetest, most gentle person you'll ever meet in your life." Even Ben's mom liked her.

I don't know, I just sometimes feel like JoJo is a book being judged by its cover.

I would have REALLY likeD to watch Caila find her "one", but really feel like it it better for her not to be TB. She is(IMO) too nice, sweet and sincere and TPTB would have destroyed her emotionally. I like Jojo also and think she is much better suited to face off with TPTB and all of their little tricks. I won't be nearly as invested with Jojo and may actually get away from my computer more this summer!

Make that a minority of at least three.  I'm really disappointed that Caila is no longer the lead.  

JoJo and her family just seem too into the reality TV thing.  To me, it kinda makes it all seem less real than it already is.

I wonder if nick will be on the bachelorette now that it is Jojo jmo

Good point. I'd bet he'd want to. It's becoming a full time job for him. Eek.

I'm sure she is a kind, sweet and gentle person. You can be a dominant personality and a guys' girl and still be all those things. Becca was close with Kaitlyn who is a guys' girl as well. I think the fact that JoJo is a stronger personality and a guys' girl is why so many of the women were friends with her and why so many viewers liked her.  

Unlike Ben's mom, JoJo just isn't my style. And that's okay! She happens to be a lot of people's style. Unfortunately for Caila she wasn't a lot of people's style. That's okay too and I get it.

JMO.

I feel this way very much. She fits the formula way better than Caila. But I also think America just likes forumla. Her traits are very much why America likes her, just like how they loved Kaitlyn and Andi (although some would beg to differ). This is all pre-show. Are they still going to like after the show? I can't speak for America, but boy when I was around Andi and Kaitlyn's season afterwards, there were just a lot of hate and disappointment. Can't tell if that reflects what the general feels about them from what I saw. Idk, I hope it isn't a set up for disappointment. I haven't enjoyed a bachelorette season since Des and she wasn't even my pick or even America's top pick. I think people really liked Lesley M and Sarah Herron.

Also @ nick if he does come back. 3rd time is a charm right? Kidding.

I was hoping for Caila to be the lead mainly because I don't think we've had a Bachelorette like her. JoJo is a repeat of past Bachettes to me so I'm kinda over it.

Oh well. I'll just watch next season for two reasons. 1. To hopefully see Aaron and Olivia appear during a HTD. 2. To root for my favorite guy not to win or be the next lead.
