Jordan Rodgers - Bachelorette 12 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

sosleepy wrote:I just...

Well, first of all, when I watch this show my primary goal isn't for a love story, because really, the genuine love stories are few and far between on this thing. And when I do find the rare love story that I "fall for," I prefere it to be between two (relatively) normal people, finding themselves in an extraoirdinary situation. For me, JoJo and Jordan are neither "normal" people. It just feels too scripted and not organic to me. I think I will have trouble rooting for them because of that. The minute Jordan was announced I just knew JoJo would be all over him. I called him as the likely F1 or Bachelor before they even filmed the meet and greet, as I'm sure most people did. It's just... Too obvious/not fun/blah.

Also, Aaron is just so intensely private. I cannot imagine he's going to love Reality Steve and the tabloids printing and talking about his "family drama" and "brotherly fued" and speculation about Olivia Munn causing family discourse or whatever - as it has already begun and the season has not even started. If it's really the Jordan show - well, Aaron whether he likes it or not, will probably find some speculation about his family life in the tabloids this summer. I'm a huge Aaron Rodgers/Packer fan. I just don't see how this is probably something he wants as a distraction.

I think the manufactured TV romance between Aaron's little brother and young JoJo whoever is going to negatively impact her very little and probably interest her even less.  She doesn't know JoJo and the girl is 10 years younger than her.  It's a "romance" created to be disposable. And Olivia knows TV and can identify scripted drama pretty easily.  

I doubt much that happens within this show season is going to affect her.

he would be no matter who the lead was, IMO. No chance in hell that TPTB would let him go before hometowns even if the lead wasn't falling for him.

I disagree. Aaron is private as crap. Any/everything he talks about to the media is related to football and his obligations as GB's QB only. RS has already started talking about Olivia Munn causing family feuds and drama and the show hasn't even started yet. It'll likely only get worse. Take away the celebrity, and who wouldn't be hurt by that being discussed? I cannot, in any universe, imagine Aaron or Olivia would be happy with that. Of course, Jordan is his own person and has to do what he has to do, regardless what his older brother thinks about it. But like I said, I still think it stinks for Aaron and Olivia who both try very hard to keep their personal lives private. They weren't the ones who signed up for this circus.

As far as Aaron and Olivia are concerned, they are both famous people so I am sure they are used to the attention they receive from media.  It's just par for the course.  They will be fine.
