The Bachelorette - Season 12 - JoJo Fletcher - Epi 2 - May 30th - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

He tends to put the "girls" on display even with a less-endowed Bachelorette like Ash or Des. I'm thankful his obsession with tight white leather pants featuring the camel toe ended with MeAndI. Small favors. :halo:

Even the most casual viewer is aware this is a "scripted" show. I have a tough time believing JoJo wants to keep talking about Ben. IMO.

I don't think she wants to either. I think she does feel that way to an extent, but it's mostly TPTB making her go through with the storyline.

IMO.

I completely agree. Every other guy there is talking about their own merits and achievements, be it erectile dysfunction expert or whatever it is, but Jordan keeps name dropping his brother. I wonder if his brotger was tge only reason he was cast, tbh, to be able to use his name as pr.

We haven't had an F2 as lead female since Trista, and we haven't had a  Bach in a TPTB approved relationship with his F1 when the Bachelorette was being taped since Sean Lowe with Des. I think TPTB maybe be pushing a summer wedding for Ben and Lauren and having JoJo keep bringing up their awesome love keeps it out there. Plus with the two ILYs maybe they want to emphasize that Ben was good, but JoJo has moved on? She just wants a love like theirs and doesn't want him.

Hey!! We agree!

While I find it incredibly annoying, I'm sure JoJo bringing up Ben and Lauren every other second is very producer driven.

JMO.

I agree that it's annoying. But it's part of the storyline, part of why she got the ETTE in the first place (most likely the main reason), and part of what she probably actually feels. Sooo we will most likely get beat over the head with it all season unfortunately. Plus, it's more promo for Ben and Lauren in a way which is what TPTB want I'm sure.
IMO

IMO it felt really producer driven... yes there is a storyline to sell but I'm thinking there is a BenLo wedding in the works waiting to be announced... I'm still hoping for JoJo's fairytale ending but I think the show needs something up their sleeve just in case of huge viewer backlash over a potential showmance between JoJo & Jordan being exposed and/or a messy break up... Pure speculation...

I really like JoJo for the bachelorette - I think her OTT stuff is entertaining, and I think she is working (or call it acting) to make each guy feel comfortable when they're together. Plus she's really easy to look at :D. And so far at least, confident but not snotty or demanding with the guys. Of the possible choices from last season, I'm very glad she got it.

Now the guys this season - I'm with those of you who feel like no one is really standing out. I think she did have a few successful "go-getter" men in the cast, which is the type of guy I pictured her choosing. I honestly didn't think she'd go for someone without an established career. Most women I know with their own money aren't into men who haven't quite found their way yet.

I don't think she picked Jordan for the sports connection though. Seriously, how attractive is it really that a guy didn't hack it in pro sports, but his brother did? I'd need more. IDK, maybe that's just me. I think Jordan is just working his magic on her (especially if you believe what RS has written about him).

Sorry our posts crossed over Stuck- I should just refrain from typing if you are online as you pretty much say everything I'm thinking... Although my infatuation with Chase is lost on you I know! Hoping he wins over some new fans next episode... JoJo really took the initiative by sitting on his lap when he made it snow... there had to be a kiss... she was locking lips with everyone else, even with the most boring 1 on 1 date in history guy at the Golden Gate Bridge...

That may very well be his calling card to meet other girls. Musta worked before and will work again after Jojo becomes his ex.

Yeah, honestly, I found it refreshing that JoJo wasnt angry and didn't throw a fit when Chad called her naggy. We know past ETTES would have had a FIELD DAY. She just appreciated his honesty and straight forward approach....same way she is.

She probably realized she was stuck with him for a few more episodes. Smart girl not putting on a princess act, that never reflects well. She can give him what for on his exit.
I hope she chases him around like a Rego exit. Maybe she can chase him with a huge turkey leg and bat him over the head with it.

This guy was my favorite in the confrontation. You can tell he just wanted some meat on a stick. #TheBachelorette

Ok. Very true. Point JoJo. I can think of quite a few that would have turned "naggy" into a huge freaking deal. They shall remain nameless, but I think everyone can guess who. 2 formers in particular come to my mind.
