THE BACHELORETTE - SEASON 12 - JOJO FLETCHER - **NO SPOILERS** - Episode Discussion - *SLEUTHING* DISCUSSION

My Chase crush continues...not as awkward as the preview implied. Yum, yum!

  Mine too!! And I wouldn't say he has small hands. 

Random thoughts on the episode:

Chase had a strong date and really good chemistry with JoJo. He's definitely more serious than I thought he'd be, but I don't think it's a bad thing. They compliment each other nicely.

The group date was pretty funny. I almost wish we could have heard more of the stories, but they probably weren't appropriate for TV . As to individual time, it's pretty clear that she really really really likes Jordan with the way she snuggled up to him and all, and he definitely opened up more. Still Team Jordan here!

I'll say it, I'm not on the side of Evan (and Alex) and thought they were obnoxious -- particularly Evan. I get that Chad is a douche and all, but Evan came across as a little snit, especially with the whine to Chris Manson. And the gloating over getting the rose too. Like, dude, you're not that much better than Chad. Sorry, but bye Felicia. And Alex came across as a whiney snit again. Stop giving short guys a bad name! The security guard stuff is clearly BS.

Chad is a douche. But I can see why he's pissed. And he probably has a right to be. Bullying the "bully" isn't any more acceptable than what Chad's doing (which is generally just being sulky and drinking too much). That said, I thought the kiss-attempt was pretty inappropriate and I liked JoJo calling him out. Of all of the guys, I actually give the most props to Daniel.

If it weren't for that stupid preview, I would've put James Taylor in the F4 (I still peg him for F6). JoJo actually seems to really like him and they seemed to have plenty of chemistry and the kiss looked good to me! Especially since Luke and Robby were completely absent (as were Wells, Grant and Derek).

Verdict. I dislike that they're back to the weird Chris Soules episodes editing (boo! No RC). That said, I really really like JoJo as the Bachelorette. She really comes across as sweet and genuine. Coming in, I was a non-fan, and now I'd say I'm definitely a fan. Really rooting for her to find love (and I definitely see some possible love stories developing!).

Jojo cannot seem to stop touching Jordan. Every second shot of them side by side she is. It's cute.


ETA Chads facial expressions are priceless. I have never been more amused in all the years watching. My goodness.

First, I think Jojo is doing a very good job as the ette so far. She has a sensitive and caring way about her, combined with spunk and humor.

But...this episode has left me feeling sooooo deprived! Where the heck were they hiding Robbie? I think he got all of 15 seconds of screentime. They are editing him like he is a MOT guy! I need to see my little spumoni more than that! Why are they hiding him? Was the conversation with Des, Ally, and Kaitlyn foreshadowing...?....if you like a guy don't give him a date for a few weeks?

I like what I see of Chase...nice, sexy voice, and other than that huge tattoo, his body is yummy. Seriously, somebody needs to stage an intervention with these young guys and tell them to stop with these bigass tattoos. imo.

Yep. She also sat next to him BOTH TIMES during the comedy show .

I watched the episode half distracted & haven't read through everything yet, but initial impressions.

1. I don't like Chad & he has to go, but Evan is a weasel.
2. I have a feeling Chase will be the heartbroken F2.
3. If Luke is F1, is his jealousy what he has to overcome? Still can't decide between F1 or next lead.
4. Not seeing Jordan as F1, but also need to wait to see his 1-1. He feels like a total set up for next lead.
5. I'm going to feel bad for James T.
6. She's very touchy with those she likes.

Okay, back to read the previous posts and will maybe comment further when I get to rewatch the episode later.

ETA: ditto to what kimberlyg said above!

Sorry for the double post... but just looked at the preview screencaps for tonight's episode...

I am crushing hard on Wells!

Yep.  She also sat next to him BOTH TIMES during the comedy show .  

She also sat next to him on later part of group date when she said " im just goung to squeeze in here".  At that point in time, I think Jordan is the one shes persuing, whether continues throughout the season remains to be seen.  

Loved Chase!  Total sweetheart.  If hes not F1 I think Id like him to be next Bachelor!

Chad is a cad without a doubt but i also see sides of him that I like.... So if as the guys suggest, its roid-rage thats causing it, i surely hope he gets off them and stops the ridiculous body beautiful, narcissistic attitude he has.  What a waste!   Evan was ridiculous picking on him, made them both look bad IMO.

Im so over Chad taking up all the airtime... Please let him go home tonight

"This place is a mess...there's Chad's leftover meat plate..." -Robby, the narrator 

Love "Angergasm" !

Are these what Chad & Alex are having??   Looks like they could use some assistance from Himaalaya, the yoga instructor.

I agree with many about the Chad/Evan situation.  Last night I felt myself wanting to defend Chad a bit.  Then I woke up and realized neither of those two are worth my time so I got over it fast!  I am hoping JoJo does the same.

Chase is my favorite, I am not sure he is F1 but I like his style and personality.  He isn't as animated as Jordan and Wells or as mysterious as Luke, but he seems to have a kind heart and an intensity about him that tells me he is interested in getting to know JoJo.

Right now I feel like we are getting to view WAY more man drama minutes than actual date time.  If I wasn't a JoJo fan I think I would be waiting another 3-4 episodes to begin really watching the season.  It seems there are about 5-6 guys there for the right reason. When we get down to them and more serious conversations it will be fun to watch and analyze every minute of their interaction with JoJo
