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

I was wrong with my pre season assumptions. I thought Jojo would act entitled, and so far she's proven to be the opposite. She is gracious, knows her worth, and does not act as though she thinks she deserves any kind of treatment. She handled the "nagging" comment beautifully.

For that, I might actually compare her to Ash or Des, without the insecurity of the former two.

The girl next door doesn't kiss a ton of guys to get the ultimate prize and an Neil Lane Diamond, with travel media and cover shoots. I think of the girl next door as someone who cooks and bakes. Ali sure didn't know how to cook. I've never seen any SM from JoJo on her cooking abilities.

So far two epi's in, I haven't seen anything that resembles, the typical girl next door.

The girl next door IMO is sweet, honest, doesn't fib. Neither Ali or JoJo IMO fit that description.

Now maybe it's me, and I have it all wrong on the characteristics of the girl next door.

Well then I guess none of these people are girls next doors. Being on this show is already a huge fib. In order to fit in with the game, you have to lie on some level/at some extent.

IMO.

Jo bowled me over with how she handled the naggy comment. I was not expecting that and found her taking it in good humor as incredibly gracious and surprising. She is a rockstar.

I'm totally loving JoJo and am pleasantly surprised thus far. She's coming off as humble and grateful to me and I don't think it's an act. I'd say she's a good combination of every lead before her.

I mean she even says "thank you" after a kiss.

Yup exactly, IMO she's just like most other leads.

Being totally honest, I'm not surprised at all. All last season, she handled everything rationally, even if she didnt agree with it/want the answer. I also have always got the impression that she's NOT entitled, despite probably having the typical reasons TO be entitled. In RS's spoliers, he made it seem like she was pissed with the "naggy" comment, when in fact she thought it was funny (in her words of thinking Chad is funny.) She's one of few girls, at least from looking on Twitter, who apparently wasn't (wouldn't have been) furious.

Jmo.

It's a reality television show and I don't personally know these people, so I can't really say how they are because in reality, we don't really know.

All I can base things off of is how other people that have actually met her and interacted with her say she is. According to several girls from Ben's season, including Olivia now too, they have said JoJo is one of the most fun, sweet, genuine and caring people they've ever met. I believe it was Ali, or another former lead that I read on their blog, they stated that every single person they've talked to in regards to JoJo has not had a bad word to say about her. I've seen several interviewers on social media state that she was a sweetheart during and after she was interviewed. It's a great thing and a testament to someone's character when you get remarks such as those from your peers. IMO

Yeah I've also never seen/heard anyone say anything negative about Jo. Man, I will be pissed(!!!) if BBJ hurts her 3 months down the line (we need a fist shaking emoji ASAP).

I agree. It was actually Sharleen that said that no woman she's ever spoken to from Ben's season ever had a single negative thing to say about her.

Thanks! I knew I read it on a blog somewhere and I like it even better that it came from someone like Sharleen! I think it's also pretty awesome how many former contestants and leads are loving JoJo.

You're welcome:) I loveeeee Sharleen and respect her opinion a lot, so I agree that it's even more valuable that she would say things like that. Especially since she's so level headed and speaks the #truth. I also like that so many past leads and contestants are loving JoJo. She really does just give off this "happy" energy IMO. It also reminds me off what RS said about JoJo being the most universally well liked girl in the house on Ben's season. She's obviously a good person if so many people are willing to vouch for her IMO.
