As far as Robby and JoJo...does Robby have a successful high paying career or own a business AND is he willing to move to Dallas??  If not then I think JoJo will work things out with Chad and end up with him again.  And if not Chad someone similar from the same Uptown Dallas crowd.

Love Caila.....wanted her as the Bachelorette.  But watching all the info MF and RS have released this season....I am glad she escaped MF's clutches.  I enjoy seeing Caila move forward with her life by what she shares on SM.

I like JoJo.  I just don't find her particularly genuine as Bachelorette.  I look for this season to be very scripted and heavily edited.

Has JoJo ever said she won't leave Dallas? I've read that here before, so just wondering if she's said that. That could be a problem, if so.

Chad hasn't exactly displayed an impressive character by blabbing to the tabloids and cheating on JoJo. At the very least, she probably wants him to be out of her system and to be able to move on. I think Ben's words are true to some extent. The best way to get over a broken heart is to fall in love again. Chad is like a bad habit that she's having a hard time breaking. She knows that I think.

I'm not sure that owning one salon means that Chad has a ton of money/high net worth. I doubt he's as successful as say her brother Ben. Not knocking him for it in any way, it's great and probably most of the contestants that the show attracts are less successful, but I'm not counting Robby out on his potential in that area. Robby just finished his masters in finance. We don't know yet what his ambitions are. It took a rare work ethic for him to practice 6 days a week, mostly twice a day for many years to be good enough to make Olympic trials. The commitment and perseverance it took makes me hopeful that he might have a few other things going for him. Also, he definitely comes from a close knit, happy family, so between those examples set for him and his own accomplishments, I'm actually getting kind of hopeful for JoJo.

Just saw the shark fin JC posted about- what a missed opportunity for MF on the caption.

I've posted before about  Jojo not leaving Dallas. My assumption is based on the fact that, aside from going to college one city away, she has never lived anywhere else. She's always struck me as someone like Sean, who simply have an expectation of always being close to their family.

Moving may be something that's never occurred to her because the right person or circumstances hasn't presented itself. As for the lifestyle thing, she has a business, albeit a new one, she is driven, and I don't think she needs a guy to keep her. As posted by one of our members here, we know that she has at least one rental property and there could be more. Jojo slays!

Robby has a regular job and is also ( most likely, based on the tweet that started it all) a PT college swim coach, a coach somewhere else for sure. He isn't any different from most of the past leads. Regular guys with regular jobs. Aside from the fresh ex thing, I like Robby. Luke seems like a great guy too, but I'm not into the road widow type life, so I'm biased.

I don't think JoJo needs a guy to keep her, but when you've been raised around all these ambitious, driven people, I would think she'd be more attracted to that type, especially if she is herself. I would also define it beyond money. Doing something that you are passionate about is attractive too. I agree with Seabear in that I don't see JoJo with a regular 9-5 guy.

If he's coaching club swim, it's a part time job unless you move up to a National team (age like 15-19). Florida is probably producing the best swimmers (along with TX, CA) National coaches at good clubs make a lot of money. When you have an Olympic hopeful on your team, they will go with the best coaches in the country, so those positions are prestigious and recruited from all over. Now you have me curious and wondering where he's coaching.

I see what y'all are saying about Dallas. Can't see Robby wanting to move away from Florida either.

I thought Robby was in SC? I think for the right person you do what you need to do. There are plenty of high level swimmers in TX. Of course that might be my UT bias talking.

I think I read somewhere she loves luxury things. She needs someone with money. I don't think she'll marry someone with a part time job.

Might not stop her from getting hot and heavy with a few dudes...

I don't find her ambitious at all. What has she accomplished? She formed a Real Estate Brokerage company but there isn't any information at all. No advertising, nothing that I can see that she has been working on building up clientele. She really didn't do anything after filming that I could tell. Her SM was basically about selfies and clothes.

IMHO I think she's looking for a Hunter.

I agree.
She reminds me of a past cast female cast person x 2 who gives the appearance of being miss ambitious, but in reality simply lives off family corp. and $.

I wasn't saying Robby only has a part time job, just speculating on why he may (or may not) have 2 jobs. We don't really know yet.

What's a Hunter? Haven't heard that one before, like a hunter, gatherer, supplier?

Lots of people like luxury things, without marrying for them, so hopefully not. I do think she's harder to cast for though because her male role models aren't slackers and most smart and driven guys are at work where they should be, not taking a leave of absence to be on this crazy show. You may be right that her own accomplishments don't line up with the standards she has for guys, but then again Vinny and Brandon are still there.

A "Hunter" is a trophy husband, IMO.

This is from her bio on the ABC Bachelorette webpage "Five years later, she runs a thriving business of her own, building homes from the ground up and renting to students in the Waco area." (http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/jojo-fletcher) Look, I know that they exaggerate, but my point is, based on the info from the poster whose son is one of her student tenants, she is actually doing this business! To what scale is what we don't know. Maybe it's not impressive, and of course she is blessed to have well-to-do parents who provide support, but for her age, it's a start, and for me it's also an indication of being industrious.
