YES, he is always bitter!! He is kind to Jordan compared to how he treated and talked about Jef.

Yup. And Ed. That was BRUTAL. Ed didn't deserve even a quarter of the mud RS threw at him. Honestly.

Ed deserved everything everyone threw at him.

I am happy I have no hopes for this season. Bring on the snark!

My question in all of this is whether or not Jordan contributed to Jojo being cast as lead. Did he have a preference of Jojo over Caila?

Maybe so. And how did they get each others phone numbers?

Grace did someone post that Ben Patton was following Jordan on IG prior to filming? i always wondered why Ben did that...jmo.

yes, but I just assumed that was because of his brother and the article that came out about him being on the show. Maybe not. But Jordan didn't follow him back so did a producer hand out the phone numbers?

ETA: I just remembered that JoJo has a cousin that knows him. What was that story?

Technically there are no rules against it, and TPTB probably suggested it... pulling out all the stops to ensure an instant connection between their two "stars"....another way to protect the storyline and ensure semi-celeb is F1!

Disagree. Ed made some dumba$$ mistakes, but he's pretty harmless. And he grew up. RS inflamed a lot of the heat thrown at him. But whatever, this isn't the Ed thread!

I was a Jillian/Ed fan. It was FREAKING BRUTAL. Good luck to ya, Jo^3 fans!  I'm totally checked out and ready to snark. But for the fans, buckle up! It's going to be a very bumping ride.

You can DM anyone in IG so it's easy to get in contact.

I could be wrong, but I thought Ben followed Jordan not long after the US Weekly article came out in the beginning of filming when they said Jordan was a front runner.

JoJo's cousin that she's close with apparently knows Luke's (Jordan's brother) girlfriend Lindsay.

Ben followed Jordan a week AFTER filming.

Ok thanks....still makes no sense to me that he did...at least wait till after the season is over so as not allow unnecessary conjectures ....jmo.

Ben Patton follows Robby on IG as well, did we know that?

ETA: How do we know for sure that he followed Jordan after filming?

That being said, RS needs to STOP with his idiot personal opinions. Half the chit he wrote today is conjecture based on his biases. And because it's Steve-O, it becomes "fact" to the masses.

This. RSs editorializing can end up being so off point with how a season goes and seems so based in his own weird biases. I never pay any attention to his opinions.

Jordan is a player and good with the ladies and was getting lots of action before the show? Yeah, that was a given, IMO. Wanted to be next Bachelor? I pretty much thought that was a guarantee when they announced him early, no shocker there, except for the fact that he's F1 instead. I really did expect he could do a Brooks on Jojo because of both him and the show already planning for him as next Bachelor. That would not have surprised me at all. I'm actually more surprised he's F1 than I would have been of him leaving to be next Bachelor.

I love Jojo and don't want to see her get really hurt. But I think she's smart enough to assume this same stuff too. She (alledgedly) picked him regardless so she may know more than us or Steve or simply have other post show motives of her own. I'm not too worried that she'll be blindsided by any of this gossip of Steve's.

My take away from Steve's post is that even he says Jordan has a real charm about him. And I agree with Steve that Jojo has an "it" factor which IMO has been missing from most recent Ettes. So for me his post pretty much confirms what I've been hoping for re Jordan and Jojo - 2 great looking, charming people with great tv appeal flirting it up and making out all summer. Should be great tv.

Now I'm excited to see who I like her best with and which guy I like best and it may or may not be Jordan, but Steve's post didn't really tell me anything I didn't already think about Jordan - and I'm someone who was, and still is, pumped to see him on the show.
