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

JoJo is my favorite 'Ette. I love how she handled the awkward kiss with Will on the first night. You can tell that she treats people with respect and kindness and I love her energy!

Ditto Mommyof1. I'm loving all these positive posts about Jojo and it looks like the tide is turning in favor of BBJ I'm thinking that he won't know what hit him and be totally smitten and good to our Jojo. I'm hoping that she shatters the show's ratings and gets her happy ending.
Edit to add: reading the posts in the non spoilers section has been a real treat, albeit they are not your average casual viewers. Amazing stuff thank you moderators for having made it possible!!!

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

  i agree so much with all the positives about Jojo in this thread and had to more than like the above. And I think the bolded basically says it all. Rockstar Ette. 

She's so secure, confident, kind, respectful, and poised on camera it's amazing to me.  Even in post show comments, she's never trying to be negative or put anyone down or make snarky jabs at easy targets. She comes from privilege and is gorgeous but still seems totally approachable and not like she thinks she's above anyone.  I just love her.  Keep it up Jojo.

The jury's still out as far as I'm concerned. So far she seems to be doing pretty well with the guys but I'm going to have to see more to decide about her.

Ditto. We've only seen two episodes and one was the meet and greet. It's the equivalent of the first two dates. Everyone ... well, almost everyone ... is still on their best behaviour. Usually, tptb save the fun stuff about the lead until later in the season. They relish in exposing weaknesses and hypocrisies. I expect that we will see that whatever is considered her greatest strength, will be turned into a negative. Somehow, I expect all that sexiness will be turned against her, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

So I finally got to see the episode today (stupid travel) and wow, Luke is one sexy man in action. He is not the most handsome, but dang he almost beat the professional (in amazing shape) firefighter at the firefighter challenge. And the way he held her and kissed her. Yummy. Wells was a sweetheart and I applaud that he never gave us even though the turn out gear weighed almost as much as he does. Grant is handsome but didn't resonate with me and while we caught JoJo helping Robby dress there was no visible spark between him and JoJo at the cocktail party portion of the date.

Derek is so handsome and sweet and he and JoJo are totally in the friendzone. He is one who I will actually enjoy watching going on BiP and get some hot girls to lose their minds over him. He deserves some TLC.

I don't get the Chad love. If he was one of the three to not go on a date he would have popped a blood vessel. I appreciated that Chase was there for JoJo and therefore disappointed that he didn't get a date. Chase wasn't acting like a child, just expressing some disappointment. Chad was also a buzz kill on the Bachelor Nation date. It was supposed to be fun and silly. The guys weren't lying they were playing along with the theme of the date. Chad probably didn't understand the idea of playing along because it seems like if it isn't Chad's way it is just wrong. And any mention on JoJo being like MeAndi should have ended with her accepting the naggy comment and moving on. MeAndi would have stopped the date, thrown a royal hissy fit, sent Chad home immediately and then had the rest of the day spent telling her how awesome she was and how wrong he was. JoJo actually let it go and listened to what he had to say. And isn't it funny that Chad who complained about the other guys being so into JoJo after one extended conversation and a little make out sesh magically had feelings for JoJo? I just don't get how Chad was appealing on that date at all. I am also over James T and his guitar and poems. Others have complained about musician Luke, but all James T has done is promote his music and writing skills. I think he realizes he has no shot at JoJo so is using his time for all he can get out of it.

As for the date roses. I think JoJo actually have them to MOT guys who are nice and will probably be on BiP, but would not be targets of jealousy from the other guys.

Chad and Daniel. Give up women, move in together and consume large quantities of protein and stroke each other's egos and what ever else makes you happy. But please both of you leave women kind alone. Chad's playing of the dead mom card in Epi two was so typical that instead of feeling bad I just rolled my eyes and thought and her starts the sob stories.

Alex, I refuse to make fun of a man's height since he has no control over that, but being a whiny little chit stirrer I can and will criticize. My crush is over, you killed some of your hot factor by sticking your nose into Chad's beeswax. Let the protein filled roid rage king self-destruct. Don't fall to his level. Acting as dumb as someone else rarely is a good look.

Chase and the snow was very sweet and shades of Whitney and her whiskey to me. I am not ruling him out, but I think he might just be too nice for our JoJo. A 30 year old single JoJo would dies for a Chase. I think a 25 year old still wants some excitement JoJo may get too many butterflies for someone else.

I like JoJo. I did want her to tell Chad that she already talked to him so let her talk to other people, but other than that, I think she has been pretty good. The Ben references to me except for the one with Derek (which I think was done on purpose to share heart break) were all he taught me to want better and to want what he and Lauren have. No pining over him and if anything a bit of a built in advertisement for what I am beginning to think will actually be an ABC sponsored summer wedding, be it part of BiP or not.
