If you think about it, most or all who go on this show are "opportunists users." Jmo

Even the current golden couple, it appears he is using the fame for politics and she is leveraging it for a more PR type job with her airline. Even my favorite two couples, Ash and JP got paid for their pregnancy announcement and are probably headed back to reality tv, Des and Chris have two books and she has a growing thriving wedding business as well as numerous free things including their dream wedding and trips. They all take the opportunity and use it. Some of them just do it in more palatable ways to use than others. JMO.

It's simply a commentary on society as a whole: How much can you swallow or be willing to swallow?
One of my favorite stories as a child was The Emperor's New Clothes.

Yup. No one gets a free pass. imo

I meant as in using other people to their benefit without any regard of the hurt feelings they cause. IMO that's different than using the opportunities the show provides. If you can't bother to break up with your ex properly and not leave them hanging, that just nasty. Jmo.

If the ex was Chad's or Alex or some other guy not well liked, everyone would have been up and arms about how the guy is a chauvinistic pig calling for his head but because the ex is Jordan, who is the rumored F1, of course Everyone is calling for her head. Typical double standard.

If it's true they've been together for 7 or 2 years, dropping an ex just like that to be on a reality show in the hope of furthering your career is a chauvinistic pig. If this is the kind of guy Jojo deserves, goodluvk with that.

^^^^I don't think it happened like that but the truth will come out. Jordan is scheduled to be on a local radio show in Dallas. I am sure he will "clarify."

If they broke up, either before or after signing for the show, then obviously the relationship wasn't very solid and probably needed to end.

^^Good point and I agree.

I'm confused with your post especially the 2nd paragraph, are you referring to Jordan or Grant? It seems that Jordan broke up with his ex in 2014 and it's Grant who broke up with his ex in 2016 as per this post : https://www.instagram.com/p/BGNAGtOMni5/

Sure but why not break up before signing up for the show. I think that is completely immature and inappropriate and I would personally not want to be with someone like that. The only reason not to is a fall back plan so if they don't get on the show they still have their girl or side piece, which is completely selfish because if the relationship is that shitty that you want to go on a reality show then just breakup.

I don't know I have no sympathy for these guys who signed up for a show while they had a girlfriend. They aren't stupid, they made their bets and knew it would come out so now they have to deal with it. All IMO.

He is?  I saw somewhere on this board that JoJo is supposed to throw out the first pitch this coming Friday at some baseball charity event here in Dallas.  Sorry, but I don't remember the details.  That is interesting, but I have to wonder why Jordan would be so obviously placed in JoJo's hometown, given that RS has already spoiled him as the F1.
