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

You're not the only one. I'm also in the minority.

I like Jojo, but I like Caila even more. That being said, I think Jojo is much better suited to handle TPTB and all of the little tricks they pull. I think Caila is very sweet and genuine, but I think she is better off without this show.

I think this pretty much confirms that she isn't the bachelorette.

I hope you are all wrong and they pick JUBILEE... sorry not sorry I like her a lot, to me there's not much difference to Caila and Jojo and the rest the girls to be honest on this season to me they are all the same so I don't get when people are like yay to jojo and nay to Caila... Like it's gonna be the same thing all over again! What would be different is Jubilee who is awkward, has flaws and owns up to them for better or worse it would be interesting on so many levels. Just wish they would just grow some ballzzz and cast her. It will never happen I know... But a girl can dream. This will be the second season of ette I don't watch. Didn't watch Kaitlyn and not that I hated her or whatever I just had Zero interest

I don't have anything against JoJo. However--I do think she looks like a butter face. In some photos she looks manly to me. I would like to see a real personality come out, but I do think that ship has sailed being reality tv savvy.

Goes to show you in the post up thread by Isabella, they even chose contestants for Caila.

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.

Who Aaron and Olivia

JoJo comes across more mature to me than Caila, even though I know they are only a year apart, Caila seems younger to me not just in looks. Of course all the girls this season seemed so young, and Becca the oldest was the appropriate age at 27 . But from the girls in the final 5, I do think JoJo was the most well liked and has that "it" factor. I don't think Caila really came across natural on camera, and some things she said were questionable to me. She might be a sweet, nice, fun girl IRL, but that didn't really translate on camera IMO. It is a show and not many girls get to be the Bachelorette, so I think it should be the most suitable girl not just F3 or someone more diverse looking. Anyways , I hope that JoJo is indeed the lead come Monday!

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 also really liked this interview with Lauren H. and interesting her impression of JoJo. Would be fascinating to have other girls talk about their experience and impressions of people on the show. JoJo seems to be liked a lot by the other girls.

This is very sad.... I feel bad for her disappointment. I'm sure she'll be fine......there is some risk being on this show.

I wanted it to be Caila . No offense but Jojo's voice irritates me a little bit and she reminds me too much of Andi. Disappointed about this.

I won't be nearly as invested with Jojo and may actually get away from my computer more this summer!

Me too . This is also the reason that I don't want caila to be the next lead for bachelorette. I have the same reasons for you . Caila is too sweet and nice . And knowing how tptb do their work to up their ratings .I honestly don't care who will be the next bachelorette . But that is my same thoughts like you about caila . So if jojo is the next bachelorette . Go for it . Because I think she is the right fit with this show and hopefully they don't mess her up like KB's season . I do think jojo is good for tv and knowing how well love she is . To me there is no doubt she will be like andi and KB's type of popularity . Okay bring it on!
